This is Pakistan's largest military deployment abroad in recent years.<\/p>\n<h2>Pakistan intervenes in the conflict in the Middle East<\/h2>\n<p>According to <strong><em>Reuters<\/em><\/strong>, Pakistan has sent a squadron of warplanes and thousands of troops to Saudi Arabia as the war between Iran and Saudi Arabia continues. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/asia-pacific\/pakistan-deploys-jet-squadron-thousands-troops-saudi-arabia-during-iran-war-2026-05-18\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The source reports<\/a>, The deployment is Pakistan's largest military contingent abroad in a decade.<\/p>\n<h2>Details of the operation and Islamabad's official position<\/h2>\n<p>Officials <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/world\/ssha-shukayut-dialog-z-iranom-cherez-pakystan\/\">in Islamabad<\/a> confirmed that the Pakistani military had arrived in Saudi Arabia to support the kingdom in the midst of the conflict with Iran. Government sources say that the main purpose of the operation is to protect key strategic facilities in Saudi Arabia. At the same time, there is no talk of direct involvement of the Pakistani military in the fighting.<\/p>\n<p>Pakistan already has experience of military cooperation with Saudi Arabia, but the current scale of support is much larger than previous missions. The Pakistani government emphasises that the deployment is in response to an official request from Riyadh and is not directed against any third party.<\/p>\n<h2>Regional reaction and potential consequences<\/h2>\n<p>Sending Pakistani troops and fighter jets to Saudi Arabia could affect the balance of power in the region. This decision is already causing concern among neighbouring states, including Iran, which is closely monitoring Islamabad's actions. Such a move could complicate attempts to de-escalate the conflict and push other countries in the region to step up their own security policies.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/world\/pakystan-strazhdaye-vid-defitsytu-enerhiyi\/\">Pakistan<\/a> remains one of the few Muslim nuclear powers, and its participation in the Middle East conflicts is traditionally seen as a factor that can change the balance of power. At the same time, official Islamabad is trying to maintain a balance between strategic support for Saudi Arabia and avoiding direct confrontation with Iran.<\/p>\n<h2>Why it matters<\/h2>\n<p>Sending Pakistani military and combat aircraft to Saudi Arabia during the <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/world\/oae-saudivska-araviia-iran-rozbizhnosti\/\">war with Iran<\/a> demonstrates Islamabad's readiness to participate in regional conflicts and support key allies. This may affect the security situation in the Middle East and define new approaches to interstate cooperation in the area of high tension.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u041f\u0430\u043a\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0430\u043d \u0440\u043e\u0437\u043c\u0456\u0441\u0442\u0438\u0432 \u0435\u0441\u043a\u0430\u0434\u0440\u0438\u043b\u044c\u044e \u0432\u0438\u043d\u0438\u0449\u0443\u0432\u0430\u0447\u0456\u0432 \u0456 \u0442\u0438\u0441\u044f\u0447\u0456 \u0432\u0456\u0439\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u0432\u0438\u0445 \u0443 \u0421\u0430\u0443\u0434\u0456\u0432\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0456\u0439 \u0410\u0440\u0430\u0432\u0456\u0457 \u043f\u0456\u0434 \u0447\u0430\u0441 \u0430\u043a\u0442\u0438\u0432\u043d\u043e\u0457 \u0444\u0430\u0437\u0438 \u0432\u0456\u0439\u043d\u0438 \u043c\u0456\u0436 \u0415\u0440-\u0420\u0456\u044f\u0434\u043e\u043c \u0442\u0430 \u0422\u0435\u0433\u0435\u0440\u0430\u043d\u043e\u043c. \u0426\u0435 \u043d\u0430\u0439\u0431\u0456\u043b\u044c\u0448\u0435 \u0432\u0456\u0439\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u0432\u0435 \u0440\u043e\u0437\u0433\u043e\u0440\u0442\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f \u041f\u0430\u043a\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0430\u043d\u0443 \u0437\u0430 \u043a\u043e\u0440\u0434\u043e\u043d\u043e\u043c \u0437\u0430 \u043e\u0441\u0442\u0430\u043d\u043d\u0456 \u0440\u043e\u043a\u0438. \u041f\u0430\u043a\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0430\u043d \u0432\u0442\u0440\u0443\u0447\u0430\u0454\u0442\u044c\u0441\u044f \u0443 \u043a\u043e\u043d\u0444\u043b\u0456\u043a\u0442 \u043d\u0430 \u0411\u043b\u0438\u0437\u044c\u043a\u043e\u043c\u0443 \u0421\u0445\u043e\u0434\u0456 \u0417\u0430 \u0434\u0430\u043d\u0438\u043c\u0438 Reuters, \u041f\u0430\u043a\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0430\u043d \u0432\u0456\u0434\u043f\u0440\u0430\u0432\u0438\u0432 \u0435\u0441\u043a\u0430\u0434\u0440\u0438\u043b\u044c\u044e \u0431\u043e\u0439\u043e\u0432\u0438\u0445 \u043b\u0456\u0442\u0430\u043a\u0456\u0432 \u0442\u0430 \u0442\u0438\u0441\u044f\u0447\u0456 \u0432\u0456\u0439\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0441\u043b\u0443\u0436\u0431\u043e\u0432\u0446\u0456\u0432 \u0434\u043e \u0421\u0430\u0443\u0434\u0456\u0432\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u0457 \u0410\u0440\u0430\u0432\u0456\u0457, \u0434\u043e\u043a\u0438 \u0442\u0440\u0438\u0432\u0430\u0454 \u0432\u0456\u0439\u043d\u0430 \u043c\u0456\u0436 \u0406\u0440\u0430\u043d\u043e\u043c [\u2026]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":207433346,"featured_media":20008,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_description":"\u041f\u0430\u043a\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0430\u043d \u043d\u0430\u043f\u0440\u0430\u0432\u0438\u0432 \u0435\u0441\u043a\u0430\u0434\u0440\u0438\u043b\u044c\u044e \u0432\u0438\u043d\u0438\u0449\u0443\u0432\u0430\u0447\u0456\u0432 \u0456 \u0442\u0438\u0441\u044f\u0447\u0456 \u0432\u0456\u0439\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u0432\u0438\u0445 \u0434\u043e \u0421\u0430\u0443\u0434\u0456\u0432\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u0457 \u0410\u0440\u0430\u0432\u0456\u0457 \u043d\u0430 \u0442\u043b\u0456 \u0432\u0456\u0439\u043d\u0438 \u0437 \u0406\u0440\u0430\u043d\u043e\u043c.","rank_math_title":"\u041f\u0430\u043a\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0430\u043d \u043f\u0435\u0440\u0435\u043a\u0438\u043d\u0443\u0432 \u0432\u0438\u043d\u0438\u0449\u0443\u0432\u0430\u0447\u0456 \u0434\u043e \u0421\u0430\u0443\u0434\u0456\u0432\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u0457 \u0410\u0440\u0430\u0432\u0456\u0457","rank_math_focus_keyword":"\u041f\u0430\u043a\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0430\u043d","td_subtitle":"","subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[805619],"tags":[806812],"class_list":{"0":"post-20009","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-world","8":"tag-blyzkyi-skhid"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20009","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/207433346"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20009"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20009\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20011,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20009\/revisions\/20011"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20008"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20009"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20009"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20009"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
