Day 4: War Isn’t Just on the Battlefield Anymore
Indian markets crashed ₹6.9 trillion ($83B) in just 48 hours — even before the missiles hit.
The Nifty 500 bled red, with Reliance down 2.1%, HDFC 2%, and banks tumbling in a deep drawdown. Algorithms chased bids — and found nothing.
By nightfall, war arrived.
Pakistan launched “Bunyan ul Marsoos” with a precise strike package: Fateh-1 rockets and Babur cruise missiles. Impact points lit up screens in Rawalpindi:
Pathankot. Udhampur. Uri. Adampur. Nagrota. KG Top. Beas.
Reuters confirmed hits. Local feeds showed white streaks over Jammu, and secondary blasts in Rajouri.
India’s prized S-400 radar in Srinagar? Gone.
And then came the silence from Delhi.
But the war didn’t stop there.
Cyber hell broke loose.
– 10 SCADA arrays torched
– 1,744 servers wiped
– 13 government websites down
– Railways’ systems collapsed
– Power grids throttled
– Even Mumbai ran on emergency backup
And while the world watched missiles, Pakistan played a deeper game:
GPS spoofing. Signal jamming. Satellite blinds. Database hacks. Narrative warfare.
Markets fell. Infrastructure froze. Delhi hesitated.
Meanwhile, whispers rose — that India’s opening strike missed its real target. A VIP flight took off from Nur Khan Airbase just minutes before the war began. Not generals. Cricket players.
Coincidence? Maybe.
But in war, there are no coincidences.
This is no ordinary retaliation. This is fifth-generation warfare — where Pakistan isn’t just responding, it’s rewriting the rules:
No tanks. No treaties.
Just firmware, fiber, frequency — and fear.
