India Pakistan Tension War like Situation Indian Airbase in Tajikistan Ayni Gissar Military Aerodrom Airbase 500 away from Pakistan

After the ruthless killing of 26 innocent people in Pahalgam, India has taken a tough stance against terrorism, due to which Pakistan’s tension has started increasing because it has been a hidden of terrorists for a long time.

Pakistan knows that India will definitely take revenge and in this fear it has put the army on alert on the eastern border. However, India has a airbase in a Muslim country to its west, from which Peshawar, Islamabad and PoK are just 500-600 km away. If India used this airbase, Pakistan will not be able to stop its ruin.

According to the Economics Times report, this airbase of India in Tajikistan can play an important role against Pakistan as its location is such that it will have to expand defense resources to cover the northern and western region. The name of this airbase is- Gissar Military Aerodrome or Annie Airbase, which was built by the then Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s government in the 90s.

Pakistan put the army on alert on the eastern border
There are such news in media reports that Pakistan’s focus is currently on the attack from the previous side. Aerial security systems have been activated, their stance has been diverted to the Indian border and mock drills are being made. Here, the Ministry of Home Affairs has also given instructions for mock drills in states and union territories on Monday (May 5, 2025). On May 7, these mock drills are to be done in 244 districts across the country.

Islamabad, just 600 km from India’s airbase
If India attacked this airbase in Tajikistan, Pakistan will be completely destroyed. Annie Airbase is just 15 km from Tajikistan’s capital Dusamba, from where Peshawar is 500 km, while Islamabad and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK) is 600 km away and the city is just 150 km from Afghanistan border.

How can India attack with Annie Airbase?
India have two routes to attack Annie Airbase. One is an attack on Pakistan by crossing Afghanistan, the other is the Vakhan Corridor, which is present between PoK and Northern Tajikistan. Both routes are weak in terms of security.

In the first route, Indian aircraft will have to go through Afghanistan, where there is a shortage of air security, so it is easier to target Pakistan from here. There is no security on the route with Wakhan Corridor, so it can be useful at such a time. Some reports have claimed that India has deployed SU-30MKI fighter jet here.

Tajikistan airbase made in Atal Bihari Vaypayee government
The Indian Army has been present in Tajikistan since the 90s. After the 9/11 attacks in the US, Indian officials decided to upgrade Annie Airbase, with the current National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and former Air Chief Marshal B.S. Dhanoa was also involved.

The then Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s government and then Defense Minister George Fernandes also supported the project and India created a 3,200 meter long runway here and the necessary facilities for aircraft were also upgraded.
