A senior French military commander has acknowledged Pakistan’s handling of a tense aerial scenario involving an estimated 140 aircraft on the night of May 6–7, saying the country “managed the situation well” despite the scale of activity.
According to the commander, the large deployment of aircraft created a high-pressure environment, yet Pakistan’s response remained “measured, disciplined, and tactically sound.” He added that monitoring, coordination, and readiness levels were “noteworthy” given the circumstances.
While no official confirmation has been released regarding the exact nature of the events that night, the acknowledgment from a foreign military official has sparked discussion across defense circles.
Observers note that such statements reflect growing international recognition of Pakistan’s evolving air-defense capabilities and crisis-management protocols.
