After Yalda Hakim, the Australian-British journalist who gained international popularity for advocating in favor of India by exposing Pakistan's misdeeds and portraying Pakistan's Defence and Information Ministers as jokers, now Austrian military historian Tom Cooper has analyzed India's dominance and intimidating warfare that shook Pakistan and led it to call for a 'ceasefire'.
Austrian military historian and air warfare expert Tom Cooper has called India’s recent air offensive against Pakistan a clear win.
He said the fact that India was able to strike key military targets, including nuclear storage sites, without facing any real retaliation from Pakistan, made the outcome obvious.
According to Cooper, when one side can bomb such critical locations and the other has no way to respond, it’s clearly a victory. He added that Pakistan’s call for a ceasefire only confirmed this.
His comments come shortly after India and Pakistan agreed to stop military action, following tense days of conflict.
While Pakistan claimed the ceasefire as a diplomatic success, and US President Donald Trump also tried to take credit, Cooper offered a different view — arguing that Pakistan's move came from military weakness, not strength.
Pakistan’s Prime Minister praised the truce as a national achievement, but Cooper's expert opinion suggests it was due to strategic losses.
Known for his deep research on air warfare in conflict zones, Cooper’s analysis may shape global views on the India-Pakistan standoff.
India’s military also shared visuals of its successful strikes on terror bases and Pakistani airfields, reinforcing claims of dominance during the operation.
Tom Cooper, speaking to national media today, also said that India struck air bases in Pakistan to demonstrate its reach, while Pakistan failed to carry out even a single retaliatory strike on Indian soil — indicating that Pakistan lacks the combat capability to match India.
He also stated that India’s strikes accidentally hit Pakistan’s nuclear storage sites, destroying entry gates and raising concerns about a possible nuclear leak if those weapons are not properly secured.
In fact, while a nuclear leak is not on par with a nuclear blast in terms of devastation, it can still lead to radiation exposure within certain limits, which is considered hazardous for Pakistan.
