Fighting between the two nuclear rivals has intensified amid international concerns and calls for cooling off

Some 125 Indian and Pakistani fighter jets battled for over an hour in one of the biggest dogfights in recent history, according to a Pakistani security source quoted by CNN.

        One U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said there was high confidence that Pakistan had used the Chinese-made J-10 aircraft to launch air-to-air missiles against Indian fighter jets - bringing down at least two.

        The air-to-air missiles were carried off of the ground isn’t the flex you think it is. There’s definitely brain rot going on here but I’m pretty sure it’s not me.
