So for all we know it is probable that less than 2 Pakistani Soldiers might have been killed. Wow.............. A surgical strike in which no PA soldiers are killed which was allegedly called to avenge the death of 18 Indian Soldiers.
OR we are supposed to just blindly trust some individual that more than 2 have been killed. Hmmmm......

Like I said illuminate us.
I am sure raheel shareef will illuminate you. just be careful, that on the way to find out what happened to those PA chaps, some dogra doesn't illuminate you with WP shells. accidentally. they are used for illumination.

Ain't IA use flamethrowers and illuminate the Pakis? uniformed or not will they get Heaven is something that you may be asking, since it's said that those who go as ashes are not allowed in heaven. And what will Satan do to them? Same Saudi treatment given to Zaid Hamid?

i agree with christopher. i think we must ask, privately in BR, what was the KIA and how was it achieved. i think even if the KIA is not in our favour, the operation was very important in expanding the scope of operations now made possible.

Before asking about trust you should examine your own biases. For you word of pakis has more value and is more authentic than official Indian word. India says dozens dead including PA soldiers and pakis say 2 dead. You believe pakis and in turn ask Indians to prove their word. Why should we bother?

http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/b ... 163217.ece
In one of the most daring raids ever, the Indian army announced that it had carried out strikes on eight terror launch pads, in a night long operation across the Line of Control in Pakistan occupied Kashmir, which officials claim exacted casualties in the “double digits”. According to sources, the operation to hit terrorist bases in a “pre-emptive counterstrike” were given the go-ahead a week ago, days after the Uri army base attack in which 18 Indian soldiers were killed. The army had warned last week that the reply would be given “at the time and place” of its choosing.

On Wednesday, Defence Minister Parrikar inaugurated the Coastguards Commanders conference in Delhi in the morning, and he, Army Chief General Dalbir Singh Suhag and NSA Ajit Doval were expected to attend a dinner at the event later in the day.

They never attended the dinner. Through the day instead, they had all gathered in the military war room along with DGMO Lt Gen Ranbir Singh, as the operations began in two different parts, after the Prime Minister gave a formal go ahead to the secret operation. The operations were in locations spread over 200 kilometres, and was carried out by Para Special Forces and 'Ghatak' platoons of the local units.

Local commanders were given a freehand to select the targets, terrorist launching pads that had been mapped in advance, say officials. The teams had already been moved to forward positions by helicopters, but no Indian army chopper crossed the LOC, sources said. The helicopters remained on standby throughout the operations. The troops carried Carl Gustav rifles, grenades, shoulder fired weapons and flame throwers, among other equipment.

Just past midnight on Wednesday, the Indian Army rolled out its operation. It started with artillery fire being opened up at a few locations including along LOC in Uri. As the Pakistani troops focussed themselves on retaliating to the firing, Indian commandos crawled across the LOC to the predetermined spots across the LOC. The targets were terrorist launching pads in Hot Springs, Kel and Lipa that came under 15 Corps, while Bhimber Gali came under the Army’s 16th corps.

"They went in with the order to shoot to kill, and not to leave behind any injured soldiers," a senior Army officer said.

Guides and handlers who knew the locations of the camps that were on target were involved as support, say military sources, while soldiers of the Dogra and Bihar regiments were involved as support for the operation. Of the 8 targets identified, say the sources, six were active terror camps, while two didn’t show much activity.

While most of the operations were conducted within about two kilometre of the Line of Control, one team of commandos had to walk about 3 kilometre across the Hotwater springs area. At each location, the teams went in quickly, planted explosives, detonated them and moved out.

Army sources said three of the targets have been destroyed fully. According to initial assessment of UAV footages, Army estimates at least 40 deaths.

At certain locations, where the soldiers faced fire, the teams fired back, but received no injuries, according to officials. Eventually, sources describing the operation said the casualties on the Pakistani side were “heavy”, and in the “double digits”. They also claimed that photographs and videos of the operation will be released soon.

The entire operation was being covered by UAVs that provided live footage to the Northern Command headquarters in Udhampur, as well as the army divisions in Baramullah, Kupwara and Uri, images that were beamed back to an extremely relieved leadership back in Delhi.

Oh my. So horrible.

Clearly there were no PA casualties since the PA is known to never be in Pakistan and these were all random sheep which had come down from the mountain tops and were misidentified by the UAVs as human.

Pakistan also won in 1948, 1965, 1971 and 1999.

Maroof Raza says much the same quoting Christine Fair.

Its not important that India routinely thrashes Pakistan & Pakistani Army.

All that's important is that Pakistanis never admit they got thrashed.

So the "Pakistani Army did not get KIA" rubbish being peddled.

The famous British documentary group (cough) Monty Python profiled the Pakistani Army.

Please note the Pakistani Army as the Black Knight. Ok when fighting the Taliban. Then they get thrashed.

Pakis can never claim their KIA. This is the army which never took part in Kargil remember.
Kargil was different. The PA had claimed that the people who had occupied the heights were not regular army soldiers. So they could not take them back, as doing so would mean accepting the lie that they had told earlier.

Let us assume that some 2 soldiers killed plus 10 SSG who came to help. Making it a total of 12 KIA. Fair enough. That still puts the ratio as 12:18 or 2:3. Now the strength of Pakistani army is about 500000. So to annihilate them India would have to loose some 750000 of its own soldiers.

Last time India paid such a heavy price was during Partition, about 1 million dead and 20 million displaced. And let us not forget we have killed 150+ Non PA individuals, who can be replaced in less than a quarter, i.e. 12 weeks. If we had killed some 150+ PA regular soldiers then the time and cost to replace them would be even more. If we had killed an officer who had attended PMA then the time to replace him would be 2 years or more.

Even after OBL was caught red handed they never admitted their guilt, even when OBL was in a safe house just 3 miles away from their main adda.

In their mind they will weave some conspiracy theory and make their people live in that. Sad part is this bubble cannot be sustained by these conspiracy theories forever.

That bubble will go off along with Christopher Sidor, probably very soon.

FAISALABAD: The funeral prayers of the Pakistan Army soldier, who was martyred in unprovoked Indian firing at the Line of Control (LoC) :(( , were offered on Thursday here.

The funeral prayers of Naik Imtiaz, one of the two martyred soldiers, were offered in Government Islamia College ground. Earlier Imtiaz's body was sent to his hometown in Faisalabad.

The Inter-Services Public Relations released pictures of the martyred Pakistan army men.

Naik Imtiaz was married and has left behind his widow and three daughters. He was martyred in Indian firing in Bhinbhar sector of across the LoC in wee hours of Thursday.

Covered in national flag, the body of the martyr reached his native town in Faisalabad on Thursday evening, with scores of people arriving to pay tributes to the martyred soldier, who laid his life while defending the homeland.

The other martyred soldier, Hawaldar Jumma Khan, will be laid to rest in his hometown Faqeer Kot tomorrow.

The ISPR said Jumma Khan who embraced shahadat at LoC hails from Astore.

Aditya - during Kargil, Pak Army even sent coffins silently into the villages to avoid publicity. Wonder whether same will occur this time around too.. or "accidents" will occur in the next few months to explain how momeen suddenly got their 72 (non) virgin men.

our nuke program was being run ineffectually till ABV brought it into the light. now we have a credible deterrence.

modi has brought india's retaliatory measures & open use of force as the new normal. this means defence, funding our IA SF units, R&AW + special group support will also get a fillip and over time be established. joint command & control for SF activities may end up being normalized too.

this is the way things work in India.
Brilliantly said, and a very astute observation.

IA could have been doing what it did last night every night for the last 10 years, and could have kept doing it every night for another 10 years... but with no one being the wiser, it wouldn't have made any difference to the status quo. The fact that we publicly declared what was done last night changes the game entirely for ALL parties concerned, including the entirety of our administration from top to bottom.

Our doing it out in the open is what the TSPA dreads even more than the body count, property losses etc. that they incur. The entire strawman of "escalation leading invariably to nuclear war"... on which the edifice of their blackmail devolves... gets blown to bits. In addition the sheer helplessness of the PA to inflict a single casualty while IA smashes them and their proxies to smithereens, on turf ostensibly controlled by them, in the triple-digits... that's a lesson that won't be lost on our friends in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Baluchistan, Sindh and Gilgit-Baltistan.

Making knowledge public at the right time is a key step in *weaponizing* information. And this war, like any other in the modern age, will be waged and won in the realm of information. As much as, if not more so than in any physical theatre.

New normal - and this too one day i hope to see. Attack on Indian assets even in Afghan, 1000x the damage in TSP - both SF and irregulars. Noone bats an eyelid. PA sends emissaries wringing hands to India.

And if push comes to shove, the next redline to be breached will be the Cold Start one.

Modi's 2nd or 3rd term. When IA is finally weaponized as it should have been, as versus the traitorous Cosa Nostra gang keeping it toothless.

Chris, whats your obsession?. This retaliation is just the first step. As Bikram Singh eloquently pointed out, this is a signal to TSP that India will not be hesitant to retaliate. Its part of a multi-pronged strategy to impose costs on TSP. Please be patient.

Bamboo is too nice a word for these pigs. Danda is more like it.
