They will clean up the area. Dirty up another and take a bunch of idiots aka foreign journos for cucumber sandwiches and tea to that hilltop and say nothing happened, only a tree got shot. We should let that narrative build and release the videos.John wrote:Per BBC. Reportedly heavy Pakistani military presence in the area.
Pakistan's military has cordoned off the area and not even the local police are allowed in, so it will be some time before details of the attack become known.

If this was the case then there was no need for the jets to have gone into pak airspace, Were they trying to give pak a message or was it a mix of Spice and LGB?Sources: The weapons used by the Indian Air Force was the Spice 2000, an Israeli smart munition with a range of about 100 kms. Incredible weapon. Is pre-fed imagery of the target which it identifies and then strikes after being dropped from an IAF platform

As I had said earlier, we have the ability to out think Pakistan. However the political will was lacking.sooraj wrote:IAF jets dropped 6 bombs on Pak terror camp
Hundreds of Fidayeen and their trainers were shifted from Pakistan Occupied Kashmir to a five-star, resort style camp in a hilltop forest in Balakot after the Pulwama attack, providing Indian forces with "a sitting duck target" when they carried out an air strike early Tuesday, killing up to 350 terrorists, sources said.They said at least 325 terrorists and 25 to 27 trainers were at the camp, the biggest operated by the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad group, which had claimed responsibility for the February 14 suicide attack on a CRPF convoy in Pulwama, Kashmir that killed 40 jawans.But India received intelligence that JeM had shifted many in-training terrorists and hardcore operatives, along with their trainers, to the Balakot camp, which has facilities for 500 to 700 people, and even has a swimming pool along with cooks and cleaners.
A small group of aircraft broke away from the swarm and headed to Balakot where "the sleeping terrorists were sitting ducks for the Indian bombing," said one source. "They had no idea that Balakot was to be the target ... when the pictures come in you will see only khandhar (ruins) of the once-flourishing camp", said the source. -- PTI
IAF used to be frustrated in the past that the political establishment does not understand the potential of air power- I guess that has changed.

"According to war methodology, our entire Air Force could not have stayed airborne. Our safeguards on land were in place. So if they had tried an on-ground incursion, they would have met the response that we had planned."
As tsarkar ji said, they were expecting land attack and we surprised them!
https://twitter.com/VishnuNDTV/status/1 ... 4218168320Unbelievable how the Mirage 2000 still remains the go to aircraft for the Indian Air Force. Thats because it remains one of the most versatile platforms anywhere. Flew 3 sorties on the Mirages during Kargil but the upgraded variant the IAF now uses are truly awesome.

https://twitter.com/VishnuNDTV/status/1 ... 0005397504sources: The delay in showing the results of the strikes in Balakot isn't really problematic. Pakistan would be well-advised not to see this as being an IAF failure. Satellite imagery, once available, will likely confirm the obliteration of the target area.
https://twitter.com/VishnuNDTV/status/1 ... 7780880384Sources: This operation just went by the working name 'Op Balakot,' nothing else.
Sources: Believe it or not, the Mirage 2000s used in these attacks did not include some of the HAL upgraded variants. These were essentially the same jets which bombed Tiger Hill during the Kargil war albeit updated with new weapons.

The deal was for 750 python + 750 derby missiles in 18 systems for around 260-400 million (lot of contradicting numbers). Than more missiles than all of pakistan's drones. If it shot down CH-3 almost immediately that says something.Aditya_V wrote:It must have been a mid sized drone, what has survived is small pieces, must be easily USD 5 million each if not more. Derby is expensive not sure its 1 million a pop. Initial purchases are for Trucks, Radars, Maintenance vehicles Training and other equipment apart from the missile. Replacement cost of missile alone will be much cheaper especially bought in bulk for Tejas also.chola wrote:
Erh, a Derby is close to $1M a round. I hope the drone is one of their larger hunter killer UAVs from Cheen.

He called the airstrikes “absolutely professional” and added that the attack was well-planned and could, therefore, evade Pakistan’s radar systems. He mentioned the usage of “selected routes” and “sophisticated jammers” while noting that technology-wise, the IAF is far superior to the Pakistan Air Force (PAF).

3am gwalior - 12 mirages take off , they probably topped up from the midas over uttaranchal or HP
3am Sirsa - 4 Su30 which flew over jammu and maintained a contingency intervention CAP over LOC as the strike ingressed
just a basic strike package ripped open the PAFs platinum grade maginot line that was supposed to be stood up on full alert on the nordfront. where were the F-solahs? the vaunted Ereyie awacs and the mighty dragon eye Y8 karakorums - ours was onsite and working, theirs was missing
so Fizaya took off on alert 2min status from multiple bases in range but turned away and ran off, when faced with a paltry 4 Su30 and 12 x 35 year old mirages heavily laden with bombs and ancient M550 magic missiles
Empty bluster. They HAVE to find a way to bring nukes into the equation. Repeated strikes into Pakiland have happened and their nuclear bluff has been called.Neela wrote:Guys what do you make of this?
