An Egyptian Air Force transport plane, identified as EGY1916, landed in Pakistan on May 11, sparking speculation amidst rising tensions with India.
The aircraft, which had arrived from China, landed at Bhurban airport in Pakistan's Murree district, and its next destination remains unknown.
The timing of the flight, alongside rumors about India targeting Pakistan’s nuclear storage facilities, has fueled discussions. Satellite images circulating on social media have raised questions about the plane’s connection to Pakistan's nuclear infrastructure.
Boron, a key element used in nuclear energy, is abundant in Egypt's Nile Delta. Its role in controlling nuclear reactions has prompted theories that the aircraft may be carrying Boron for Pakistan's nuclear operations, as Boron-10 helps stabilize reactors by absorbing radiation.
The speculation follows India's missile strikes on Pakistani airbases, including the strategic Nur Khan Airbase.
This base is crucial to Pakistan's nuclear command. The possibility of a nuclear escalation has been a concern, as Pakistan's National Command Authority discussed the situation amid the tension.
