Do you remember the coordinated #disinformation campaign across social media alleging a medical emergency in #Pakistan caused by radiation leakage during the May 2025? In Episode 3 of @BeyondtheLoCpod, the hosts discuss the implications of that claim. Watch/listen here: youtube.com/watch?v=ashOJw…

The narrative war between #India and #Pakistan is constant--and the May 2025 crisis just amplified it. Learn more as hosts @AfeeraFirdous, @Haleema_Saadia and @khansahar1 unpack the role of #misinformation and #disinformation in last year's conflict by watching Episode 3: youtube.com/watch?v=ashOJw… #operationsindoor #OneYearOfOperationSindoor #OpSindoorContinues

One year ago, Operation Sindoor marked a turning point in the India–Pakistan crisis. India didn't want to seize territory but wanted to signal resolve. The result: non-contact warfare. But here’s the catch: India is optimizing this model for Pakistan while its long-term challenge is China. And against a more contested, integrated battlespace, non-contact warfare may not be enough. 🎧 Episode 2 to learn more: youtube.com/watch?v=iJhT79…

I am giving a belated shout-out to three outstanding colleagues of mine in the nuclear/foreign policy field in @Haleema_Saadia ,@khansahar1 ,and @AfeeraFirdous ,for starting @BeyondtheLoCpod podcast. It promises to bring to us quality, nuanced discussions on a bevy of strategic, security, and foreign policy issues. Congratulations to you all, and I look forward to some riveting episodes. youtu.be/jvLpVCuWcIE?si…

BLUF: War is becoming faster, more precise… and harder to control. 🎧 If you want a clear, no-hype analysis on South Asia & modern conflict: Subscribe + watch Episode 2 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=iJhT79… Next up: information warfare 👀

What happened in May 2025 isn't just a South Asian story but a global one: Ukraine → scale (mass drones) Iran → integration (systems working together) South Asia → adaptation The trend: Faster tech → less control → higher escalation risk.

Modern war isn’t tanks or dogfights anymore, but consists of missiles, drones, and fights you can’t even see. 🎧 Episode 2 of @BeyondtheLoCpod breaks down how #India & #Pakistan actually fought in May 2025. Watch & subscribe 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=iJhT79…

What really happened in the May 2025 India-Pakistan crisis? Episode 2 of Beyond the Lines of Control Podcast (@BeyondtheLoCpod) breaks down BVR combat, the PL-15, drone warfare, and how conflict is shifting from platforms to networks. Are we entering a new era of war? 🎧 Listen now: youtube.com/watch?v=iJhT79…

Bottom line: De-escalation is getting harder. Information warfare, hypernationalism, and a stressed nuclear umbrella are pushing South Asia toward a more fragile “armed peace.” 🎧 Ep 1: youtube.com/watch?v=ELggGp… Subscribe to get updates about more episodes.

In Episode 1, we outlined the following military lessons: • Crises are faster—escalation in ~48 hours • Warfare is multi-domain—air, cyber, drones at once • Cheap tech (esp. drones) is reshaping deterrence • Resilience now matters as much as firepower

What did the 2025 India–Pakistan crisis actually change? In Season 1 of @BeyondtheLoCpod, we will break down how a 4-day conflict reshaped escalation, deterrence, and the future of war in South Asia 🧵👇 #IndiaPakistan #SouthAsia #BLoC

On the anniversary of the Pahalgam attack, we remember the lives lost and reflect on how quickly crises can escalate in South Asia. In Episode 1 of @BeyondtheLoCpod, we unpack the 2025 India-Pakistan crisis and why the next one may be more complex and harder to contain. Watch here ⬇️

A year after #Pahalgam, I kept returning to one question: Why was the 2025🇮🇳-🇵🇰 conflict different? After many conversations with @Haleema_Saadia and @AfeeraFirdous, we decided to take it further— and launched @BeyondtheLoCpod. 🎬 Trailer: youtube.com/watch?v=jvLpVC… (please subscribe!) 🎧 Episode 1: youtube.com/watch?v=ELggGp… (thanks for watching!) #SouthAsia #IndiaPakistan #BLoC

Very excited about this new podcast @BeyondtheLoCpod on security issues produced by three experts with deep knowledge of conflicts in South Asia. I just started watching the first episode and the first thing that comes to my mind is that how smartly they have identified a niche that was not catered. I cannot think of any other podcast coming from our region where three experts come together to share their informed insights and analysis without any political or ideological spin. I can see that they have put in a lot of research and preparation in the first episode. Therefore, transitions between the speakers are seamless and content flows naturally. Good luck @khansahar1 @Haleema_Saadia & @AfeeraFirdous 👏👏👏

Marking one year since the #Pahalgam attack, Episode 1 of @BeyondtheLoCpod examines how a brief but intense crisis reshaped deterrence, escalation, and strategic stability in South Asia.
