Arnab and Maroof are over the roof today...I see a big smile on many experts faces...a sign of satisfaction. Dunno about UndeeTV or CNN-IBN...still get tears of joy on hearing our soldiers exploits even though its been 8 plus hours since the news broke.

Per Arnab, TSP sent its own Special Forces and 2 trucks of regulars to some of the camps. Our boys repelled them and made it back successfully. Maroof was saying that casualty numbers will be much much higher than the paltry 35-40 being quoted.

Best quote I heard this evening..."For Pak, defeat is admitting defeat not the actual process of getting defeated"

Surprised that no AF personnel were present. Wouldn't IAF have provided top cover while retreating?

Hm, it's possible they could have had SSG detachments nearby. They do help train them.

Me? I broke the news on BRF and Twitter 30 seconds after DGMO said it on TV. After that I have been gloating and thinking. Happy today. None of the descriptive words I have about Pakis are allowed on BRF.

I had a sudden aha moment after the news broke. The IAF started an exercise 2-3 days ago and the Navy was reported as starting one of their own off the Shitistani coast. So something was coming - talking peace ..peace. peace ..piss and suddenly BLAM! Deep deeeeeep anger is being assuaged somewhat - but I can be more free on Twitter with the words I want to use.

Posting as recd from whatsapp grp. Hope not a repeat..

Fwd as recd....

My family member at MI says more were killed than 38 (these were the ones they could count, there were many who were shredded to bits due to use of weapons like RPO flame throwers, Carl Gustafs etc. He says these guys were the stragglers who escaped the main camps that were targeted during the previous covert strike on the main camps (my guess is they were targeted with arty). The main camps were deeper in POK around (12-20km) Those pigs who escaped the first onslaught were then painstakingly tracked through drones/comms to well disguised newly erected made shift launching pads. IA decided to share their movements over the last days with PMO. With the porkis playing cry baby and playa hating on the international forum, IA/PMO decided that this message should be made loud and clear.

A platoon of Paras went in silent, HAHO from well inside our territory. Their target was 3 launching pads deeper into POK, around 2-3km in. These were the larger groups, around 12 pigs at each site. Paras wasted them quietly, they didn't know what hit em, they wasted the sentries with silenced sniper shots and most were slaughtered in their sleep.. Ghataks from Dogra and Bihar opened up fire on the posts near 3 launching pads closer to the LOC (around 600m-1.2km in), the adjoining posts were destroyed rapidly :shoot:, this is where around 6-12 PA manning the posts were killed, Porkis only claim 2 PA killed, bet its 2 bodies they could recover, the rest would have been mulch.
After turning the posts to rubble, Ghataks crossed over and destroyed the 3 launching pads where they killed smaller fidayeen squads of around 6 terrorists each. Ghataks went in loud, watching them close in with heavy fire at the 3rd launching pad, it appears one of the pigs blew himself up taking half his squad with him.

The death toll inflicted by the Ghataks is not clear because they used volleys from grenade launchers, RPO flame thrower, carl gustaf. A Ghatak got close enough to stab 2 bunched pigs with his bare hands.

While the op was coming to a close, it appears a couple of truck loads of SSG BATs & Rangers were sent in for reinforcements but when they arrived and saw the volume of fire coming from the Ghataks, they got back in their trucks and ran. Ghataks then covered the Para's egress back.

Final, estimate of toll is between 60-70 killed including at least 6-12 PA.

I am glad they decided to make it public. Paltan ki ijjat especially for Bihar and Dogra restored, they will however keep a low profile because there was nothing surgical about their role. Their role was much more akin to a hammer coming down hard. My family member says that the sheer speed and brute force of Ghataks in their role was some of the most beautiful IR drone footage caught in his recent memory. While the paras were surgical, they apparently looked so routine, like they had done it a thousands time before (and they have).

How? Cross border firing? Hitting military target in cross border firing..........that is done every time . Do you mean Ammo dump of fuel dump blowen by PAF? Not possible without huge escalation. Most likely some sleeper cells blowing something in NE or JK.

dawn? Did you find any such news from any of our news channels?

A_Gupta · Post by **A_Gupta** » 29 Sep 2016 21:01

Notice the very same news report from Dawn says two different things:
(not repeating the link, look at the post above).

MUZAFFARABAD: The Pakistan Army on Thursday captured an Indian army soldier and killed eight others in retaliation to India's firing at the first line of defence at the Line of Control (LoC) at Tatta Pani, confirmed security sources.

The capture and and the casualties sustained occurred when the Indian army opened fire across the working boundary, killing two Pakistani soldiers.

In his show Capital Talk on Geo News, Hamid Mir said that 14 Indian soldiers were killed in two sectors. Defense analyst Major General (Retd) Ijaz Awaz, who was on his show, confirmed his claim.

So is it 8 or is it 14?

Guys, whatever may be TSP's response, the one thing India cannot afford in political terms is the restoration of equal equal. In other words, should Pakis respond, you can bet their aim would be equal equal (assuming of course, they don't want to escalate either). If thats the case, the Paki Indians on our side will be back to their usual "uninterrupted talks" BS.

Yawn, we got a taste. The key is really how we escalate. I doubt PMO will give Army HQ in Rawalapindi diplomatic/military maneuvering space. It will need to keep up the pressure. There is only one way to do this. Do exercises along IB and naval exercises in Arabian Sea. Show them we can mobilize 400,000 troops in under 2 days and they'll shit their pants.

Very soon the the 3.5 (probably 4 now) will come knocking with requests on what India should do. I hope the decision makers in India know what to ask in return that does not constitute downhill skiing.

Added later: Is the Pak-Rus military exercises still continuing? If so, wonder if they knew about this already..
