Pakistan has once again escalated regional tensions by making a sensational claim against India. The Pakistani Navy has released a video claiming that an Indian Navy aircraft was under their radar surveillance on the night of 4-5 May 2025.
This video, which is being said to be a screen of Pakistani Navy's radar system, shows the movements of an unidentified aircraft which Pakistan has claimed to be an Indian Navy aircraft. According to the official statement of the Pakistani Navy, this aircraft was flying close to their maritime border and their radar system clearly tracked it.
In the video, a moving spot is visible on the radar screen which the Pakistani Navy is claiming to be an Indian aircraft. However, the authenticity of this video and the real identity of the aircraft seen in it has not yet been proven by any independent source.

This claim has come at a time when there is already tension between India and Pakistan over surveillance on sea and air borders. Pakistan says that this incident shows the strength of its defense system, while some experts are seeing it as a move to further increase the tension between the two countries in the region.
So far, there has been no official statement from the Indian Navy on this claim. Defense experts believe that this claim by Pakistan can further increase military and diplomatic tensions between the two countries. Many questions still remain about the actions and identity of the aircraft shown in the video. Was it really an Indian Navy aircraft or is it just a propaganda from Pakistan? These questions will be answered only after India's response and any independent investigation in the coming days.
At present, this incident can bring a new turn in India-Pakistan relations and everyone's eyes are fixed on the next step of the armies of both the countries.
