Recent seizures of advanced weapons in Punjab and Kashmir highlight a disturbing trend: high-tech arms originally intended for NATO forces are ending up in the hands of terrorists and criminals in India. The flow of these weapons from Afghanistan, following the US military withdrawal, underscores a broader issue of global arms trafficking and its impact on regional security.

    I imagine a lot of the Western arms flowing around that part of the globe right now come from Afghanistan and the US’s chaotic retreat.
