The Chanakyan way is to always be the victim. Let the Paki's retaliate before escalating. Use their retaliation to not just give them a bloody nose, but bash their face in.

And possibly take back some of the territory that rightfully belongs to us.

Not the time to beat my drum , something I wrote on Feb 20. I was even awake till 3 waiting yesterday for something to happen .. then slept

Repeating something I wrote in earlier pages, if there is action, it would be..

Till 24, Aero India and PM visit to SK.
25, War memorial Inauguration.

A dream would be PM announcing action at the war memorial...

Jai hind.

Good call nam. I guess some of us just "knew" deep down inside that this time around, with NAMO in charge, things were different and we would retaliate.
I still remember the intense anger and helpless rage I felt each time there were previous terror strikes in India. The bomb attacks, the Mumbai ones. We just went numb.

For a military that fought using imported equipment, it's really a proud moment to know that an Indian equipment has been used in actual operation.

This use of M2K will weigh in on our my lords in SC as they review Rafale petition. They will listen to air force more seriously otherwise be ready to face public ire.

Great find! Now the question is why didn't US UAVs hit this place earlier in the last 15 years given that USAF UAVs are so ubiquitous in the AfPak region? Because the people at these training centers are not stateless terrorists, but rather Pak military officers and personnel at Balkot who are directly involved in terrorism, and the US can't hit them directly.

Karan or others, the fact that JF 17 bandars released flares means they were being targeted by IR missiles? Must have been close to IAF jets?

Let me just say this....it is not Im The Dim's decision, and even he knows that. He's the new kid on the block and his job is to say 'Ji Huzoor' (Yessir) to what the Pak. COAS tells him to do. As for their fauj, I think they are not that stupid to launch a formal attack. I would not rule out terror attacks though.

My 2 cents, Khan is involved in this (somehow), and India bought both Khan/Bear in confidence before hitting Porkiland.

Panda/SA will not take their pawn/investment to be raped in plain sight.

We should not focus on Porkis, but on Panda/SA as pressure will come from there.

If they are releasing flares and chaff and if that's a video from today, it means they could have been least locked onto by IAF jets. They released chaff & flares (chaff wont be visible at night) and likely ran out of the engagement zone.

This is very similar to a story told by a PAF pilot @ Kargil time, about how 2x F-16s on CAP were locked onto by patrolling IAF MiG-29S fighters, which had BVR and the F-16s didn't. The F-16s had to make a rapid about-turn and run off. The younger pilot was in shock when he returned back to base and heavily teased by his fellow pilots.

Let the beggars retaliate against us now. With IAF fully alert. Every flying PAF jets will be targetted in their airspace.

Sharing this as it's all over Twitter anyway (not sure if it should be so easy to track).

But the Indian 'Netra' ERJ 145 early warning aircraft is still on a steady pattern to monitor Pakistani air movements along the border.

"Non-military action" against terrorists as per FS. Clearly outlining that this is not an attack on "Pakistan" - which means that any retaliation by the Pakis will be treated as first strike. Is this our "drone strike" against training camps equivalent?

Chetak,

I hope adequate security is provided to all relevant DRDO personnel and IAF pilots and family. All of the people involved with all these efforts are a national resource and a jealous, petty Pakistan will attempt to target them if it can.

I am sure that will be done. In fact all our military installations should be on high alert in general.

- So we decided to do a pre-emptive strike to prevent further attacks
- In forested areas so avoided civilian casualties
- We call on Pak to live upto its commitment to prevent its soil from being used for terrorists etc

If the decision was taken earlier by the Modi government, there would not be extreme and highly-anxious incidents like Pathankot, Uri and Pulwama: Mayawati

Also, this means BJP/NDA politicians have to be careful and their security personnel on their toes 24/7 during 2019 General Election campaign.

Yes, but I'll use your post to make a general point.

Guys don't post any pics and details of these specific units or people involved in the programs at this time
