Re: Operation Sindoor - Post Conflict Analysis
it is possible we hit them to show our intent of what comes next. Pakis threw the towel after we did that. However, the missing piece of the puzzle is why we stopped, when we had the chance to do more. Of course we did not plan it, but since we were so successful, why not do more and take advantage...

Brahmos is a tactical battlefield weapon; so it can be used as a tactical missile for terrorist camps, static radars, buildings (hosting enemy intel centers) in a city etc. It has a range of 290 Kms with 600 lb warhead. It cannot be nuclear tipped unless we have that weight warh...

Re: IA/IAF: Op Parakram and Kargil-II
The area commander should have the right to vacate intruders.
But as far as IAF is concerned the approval should be from the MOD.
The reason for that is IAF will be an increase in the level of warfare and this would lead to an egg in the face when local commander and IAF commander jump the gun.
