India is preparing for war with the construction of 14,000 bunkers to protect families on the Pakistan border as Islamabad invokes the spectre of nuclear conflict, telling India 'better sense' is needed.
Earlier today Pakistan and India said they had shot down each other's warplanes, in a dramatic escalation of the dangerous confrontation between the nuclear-armed rivals.
Pakistan said it downed two Indian jets in its airspace and captured two pilots, later amended to one: whom they then seemingly paraded - blindfolded and bloodied - for the camera.
On Tuesday evening, Islamabad used heavy calibre artillery to shell 12 to 15 places along the Indian side creating panic among the populace on the border where bunkers are being hastily thrown up to ease their fears.
The downed pilot was named today as Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman and seen in a video of what appears to be an interview at a Pakistani Air base, in which he refuses to reveal any information about his capture - or captors.
The video was slammed by India, who called it 'vulgar', adding that it expected his 'immediate and safe return' in a statement release by the Ministry of External Affairs.

I hope this de-escalates soon.
Building 14,000 bunkers in a few days?
If you stop getting calls on your cell phone from “Card Member Services”
Then India has just nuked Pakistan off the map.
Because a majority of those effing scammer calls come from Pakistan call centers.
So it Pakistan gets wiped... I will worry about it spreading, but there is always a glimmer of silver in any storm...
Somewhere somehow this HAS to be Trump’s fault.
LOL. Apparently they will deny this if you confront them on it though.
India’s economy would suggest they have the upper hand. If it becomes all out war I’m sure they’re making plans for a final solution.
Iran/Iraq with nukes?
Nothing burger. Mere posturing as has happened so many times before. Neither country has the guts to launch the first missile, it would end up very bloody and they know it.
Isn't that a Geneva convention violation?
Obama accomplished two things we ought to be thankful for. He prevented President Hillary Clinton, and he prevented President McCain.
Bad as Obama was, McCain would have been a disaster. I have no doubt that he would have gotten us into a major war.
We're overextended, still playing around in Ukraine, not getting out of Syria, now add to that our Deep State is doing their war dance thing in Venezuela. My point: What an opportunity for Pakistan, among others.
Someone from India not named Patel?
[ LOL. Apparently they will deny this if you confront them on it though. ]
Next time I talk to them, I am going to tell them I hope Ghandi comes back to life and decides that the video game civilization is tutor guide for nuclear warfare....

Ghandi loves to nuke everyone in that game!!!
There were 4 SU-30MKIs flying in that Indian formation - they should have ben able to take out the Paks but were nowhere to be seen.
Nope. In this case it's due to Global Warming Climate Change.
Maybe the US can go into business exporting walls.
There’s also swaminathan superbrahmin..
Somewhere they are stockpiling virgins ...
The Indian government requisitioned all the empty the computer card board boxes...
