Re: Operation Sindoor - Post Conflict Analysis

To be fair, India has slight advantage of taking down Pakis BMs because we can catch them in boost phase. Its ideal to shoot down BMs in boost phase and far tougher to intercept in terminal phase. Did this happen? The one video where we took out one of their BM's shows it was in its terminal phase?...
