Operation Balakot: News & Discussion

Singha · Post by **Singha** » 05 Mar 2019 13:13

another well timed "error" or was it a fruedian slip as to future activity ?
krachi needs a real dressing down as the source of the 26/11 attacks, numerous drone incursions, D-comany warehouse & adda, fake currency logistical hub...

IBNLIVE

While addressing the rally in Gujarat, PM Modi said that "Under the Ayushman Bharat health scheme, if a resident of Jamangar has gone to Bhopal, and happens to falls ill, he/she need not comeback to Jamnagar for treatment. If the person shows their (Ayushman Bharat) beneficiary card, they will get free treatment anywhere in the country, be it Kolkata, or even Karachi."

Calling it a slip-of-tongue, the prime minister was quick to correct his remark by saying that he "meant to say Kochi, not Karachi".

He went on to say that "Nowadays my mind is preoccupied with the situation with our neighbouring country."

It peddles a particular line of rhetoric - "nukular flashpoint". And then talks about Im'Dim being statesman.

After Reading the article again, I think you are right. Well we can't expect any trust any Western Media. After all their own people don't trust them. Nor should we care what they write.

And moreover, we have UBCN here at BRF. Always ahead of the curve.

Apparently the Bakis saw an Indian sub off their coast, seem to have pics: https://tribune.com.pk/story/1923388/1- ... ers/?amp=1

What they don’t seem to understand is, if the sub surfaced, the sub wanted to be seen - maybe to send a message

1) This
2) Modi mentioning Karachi instead of Kochi
3) Naval chief Sunil Lamba talking about sea based terror threat

Naval blockade?

Maybe even a soft-blockade. Scare off cargo ships & raise insurance prices. If Bakis were smart they would keep their mouths shut about this, but some things can be counted on

I think it's been explained why it was FS who announced the strikes instead of someone from the services. Because this was carried out on foreign soil.

VK Singh as the deputy foreign minister could have been a good option as well.

FS came in because of the non military nature of the attack.

Had it been a straight forward military mission, the secretary from the MoD would have led the presser.

Shiv Aroor’s take: https://twitter.com/shivaroor/status/11 ... 84896?s=21

Navy releases footage to local media claiming it has 'detected' @IndianNavy submarine INS Kalvari. No word from navy yet, but if video/coordinates are authentic, then Indian Navy likely *wants* Pak to know that attack submarine/s are lurking 200 km from Karachi.

You are basically asking Pakis to stop being Pakis. Its not a simple choice for them.

Might as well ask a pig to stop playing in the mud, stop rooting for grub, stop going oink oink.

Shiv Aroor plotted the GPS co-ordinates. It looks like it is right across Gwadar actually. Message to China?

Broad message to both that the whole coast is vulnerable and that any sea routed g**dugiri will get a response in this domain.

Agreed. I was reading somewhere, they have one operational Agosta. Do they use it protect their economy in Karachi or Chinas $60 billion investment in Gadwar or save it as a nuclear deterrent (as some reports claim)?

Not only that, they already did sea based mischief with Mumbai. There is no statue of limitations for a response. G**dugiri has already happened.

The point is Will the navy be exposing itself like this to the enemy unless they want to give them some message?
It could be also a TSP propaganda to show them self as victims, it could be pak sub too

Kashi · Post by **Kashi** » 05 Mar 2019 14:21

Some reports saying that the footage is identical to what TSP had released in 2016 when they claimed to have spotted another Indian submarine.

Manish_P · Post by **Manish_P** » 05 Mar 2019 14:21

Could also be a chankian way to increase Insurance costs for Vessels sailing to/through Pakistan ports

Or the usual Baki tactical brilliance of shooting themselves in the foot

khan · Post by **khan** » 05 Mar 2019 14:24

If it is fake, the alleged proximity to Gadwar, could be a ploy to get China to help them.

Dilbu · Post by **Dilbu** » 05 Mar 2019 14:25

Or it might be a message to India that don't think we don't know what IN is up to. Not that they can do a fat lot about it if IN decides to do something.

Doubt an Indian Naval vessel would have surfaced, its more like thier Agosta subs.

But even the same camera and same equipment even if filming the same object in the same area (which incidentally this wasn't) cannot produce identical footage two years apart can it?

It appears that the footage is identical, not similar.

Singha · Post by **Singha** » 05 Mar 2019 14:54

bhai its 400km off karachi and 168km off gwader.

imo its not worth spending time on. sub was not near pak waters except that it heard the LRMP coming and promptly surfaced!

Aditya_V · Post by **Aditya_V** » 05 Mar 2019 14:57

Why would a sub do that unless it was a Paki sub.

There are a series of lat/long in the video which can be plotted and compared with the lat/long of the 2016 video (if present).Can anyone share the footage of the 2016 video ?
