Pakistan releases new war anthem 'Tayyar Hain Hum - Allah hu Akbar'
Pakistan has released its new war anthem titled "Tayyar Hain Hum - Allah Akbar" amidst the current tense situation, capturing the heart of the nation.
The stirring lyrics and captivating voice have set the tone, with the anthem's powerful lines, "We are victorious with God's grace, ready to fight", adding to the emotional fervour.
In the context of escalating tensions with India, the anthem sends a clear message: India may have forgotten the strength of the nation it is facing.
The Pakistan Army remains prepared to respond to any form of aggression, upholding the country's core values, which are deeply rooted in Islam.
The anthem reflects the passion and resolve of the Pakistani nation, embodying the spirit of both the military and the people.
The song also serves as a strong reminder to India of Pakistan’s preparedness, with its fast-moving forces, advanced weaponry, and highly trained military personnel.
The Pakistan Army’s motto, "Faith, Piety, and Jihad in the Way of Allah," resonates throughout the anthem, inspiring confidence and courage.
The call of "Allah Akbar" rings out as a rallying cry in the face of adversity, boosting the morale of the troops and the people alike.
The message to the enemy is clear: whether as conquerors or martyrs, Pakistan stands firm and resolute, ready for any challenge.
Tensions with India
Tensions between India and Pakistan escalated after the April 22 attack in Pahalgam, Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), which killed 26 people. India accused Pakistan-based elements but provided no evidence. Pakistan strongly denied the claims.
In retaliation, India closed the Wagah border, suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, and revoked Pakistani visas on April 23. Pakistan responded by calling any disruption of water flow an "act of war" and closed its side of Wagah.
Later on Wednesday this week, reports of explosions across Pakistan, including in Muzaffarabad and Bahawalpur, confirmed Indian airstrikes. Pakistan’s response was immediate, with both air and ground operations. Within an hour, Pakistan shot down five Indian fighter jets, including four Rafale aircraft purchased from France.
"Pakistan could have shot down 10 Indian jets," said DG ISPR Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, but chose to exercise restraint. Despite the scale of Pakistan's retaliation, Indian media remained silent on the losses, with The Hindu initially reporting the downing of three Indian jets before removing the article.
Additionally, Pakistan’s armed forces confirmed the neutralization of 25 Israeli-made Harop drones used by India in recent incursions. The drones were shot down using both electronic countermeasures and conventional weaponry. The ISPR described the drone incursions as a "desperate and panicked response" following Pakistan’s retaliatory strikes on May 6-7.
