After Pahalgam massacre, fearing India's attack, Pakistan has asked for help from friendly country Turkey. According to open source intelligence, a C-130 military transport aircraft of Turkey has reached Pakistan. It is believed that turkey has sent ammunition for pakistan in this aircraft. Because there is a huge shortage of ammunition and fuel in the Pakistani army. In such a situation, the Pakistani army is incapable of fighting a long war.
The special thing is that on the day the pahalgam terrorist attack took place, Pakistani prime minister Shahbaz Sharif was smiling and hugging Turkish President Erdogan in Ankara. turkey has provided TB-2 birector drones to Pakistan. pakistan has deployed these birector drones in Lahore sector near the indian border.
