Non-state actors and now rogue elements, its all about semantics for Pakis. So convenient.

I find it hard to believe but if that is a possibility then it could be one explanation why Pakistan keeps extending NOTAM to keep airspace closed (now extended until March 11th even though clear signals for de-escalation from India) because if India and US believe Bajwa is not in control or Bajwa believes rogue ISI/JeM/LeT are planning another spectacular attack in India, there is a real possibility of India and US trying to grab or secure Pak nukes (as khanji said).
India has not given a single sign of de-escalation, rather it is the opposite, India keeps doing things to keep the temperature warm.
No, they're catching up late to the news. It wasn't shot down, rather shot at with small arms in the wee hours of the morning.Vivasvat wrote:Was another naPaki drone shot down over Shri Ganganagar just a while ago? Some Indian news channel uploaded the news about half an hour ago.

May be Third strike he is talking about is IA raid in Myanmar..M_Joshi wrote:Rajnath Singh claims India conducted three surgical strikes across LoC, ‘won’t reveal info on third’
This video is from Sep 28th 2018 where Rajnath Singh indirectly implied that they have taken an appropriate action against Pakistan to avenge the barbaric killing of a BSF jawan. He said something appropriate has happened 2-3 days back, viz around 25-26th Sep 2018.Speaking at a public gathering in Karnataka, Rajnath said, “Pichle 5 varsho mein, teen baar apni seema ke bahar jaa kar hum logon ne air strike kar kaamyaabi haasil ki hai. Do ki jaankari apko dunga, teesri ki nahi dunga (In the past five years, we have crossed the border thrice and conducted air strikes. I will tell you about two, not the third one).”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIKYqhm7mLI“Our neighbouring country Pakistan keeps fostering unrest. It’s not refraining from its nefarious activities. People often raise how they mistreat our Border Security Force jawans. Something has happened, I won’t tell what. Something has happened, some thing fitting has happened. Trust something befitting has happened. Just 2-3 days ago. Some people know about it. Something has happened. And, be ready for more to come.”
I really wish GOI announced these things & humiliated the Bakis. H&D is more important to them than their soldiers lives.JayS wrote:^^ Such things keep happening on daily basis. We hear about losses on our side, because we dont hide deaths of our Soldiers. When India counter attacks and Pakis die, but they simply suppress the matter and India doesn't have any reason to publicise it. So you wont hear about it. Don't even hope to hear about it. But be assured, IA doesn't keep quite as much as we may think. Its gives back in kind, every single time. Lets leave it at that.
BTW he didn't really mean three air strikes, its slip of tongue. He meant three cross border raid, including Uri SS and Balakot strike.

Notam A0258 from CAA Pakistan says
India is "reviewing" Pakistan's request to open an air route from Mumbai to Karachi and northwards for flights towards Europe, a senior official of the Ministry of Civil Aviation said on Saturday.
It has been more than ten days since Pakistan shut its airspace for civilian flights following military tensions.
It is reliably learnt that following international pressure Pakistan also sought permission to open another east-bound route from Karachi, to enter India near Ahmedabad, via Muscat (for flights towards South East Asia and beyond). India, however, rejected this proposal as there was no reciprocal permission for traffic exiting the country in the opposite direction.
"Pakistan says it attempted to open one eastbound and one westbound transiting airway through Pakistani airspace between the Muscat and Mumbai FIRs (Notam A0258/19), but reciprocal connectivity was denied by Mumbai FIR (Notam A0357/19)," according to Flightradar on Twitter.
It is after this that the news of airspace closed upto March 9th was released.DUE TO DANGEROUS ACTIVITY AIRSPACE IS NOT AVBL IN
I remember the day. The feeling of extreme sadness and anger. I couldn't concentrate on my work for days. There was a kind of hollow feeling and rage that was building up inside me. I was feeling helpless, angry and sad. But I had hope. Hope that we would retaliate and avenge the soldiers martyred in pulwama. And our govt didn't disappoint. Finally, I felt at peace and saw the same feeling in all the people I came across.fanne wrote:I cannot put my finger, but this was perhaps the last straw that broke the camel's back across India. This was different, I think people do not realize, that day India changed!! something snapped!! Of course the BIF, the sold out media, the clue less politicians, the unintellectual intellectual, the thick skin babu, the Shakespeare spouting judiciary have all I am afraid have missed it. I believe, the feeling is Kargil * 10. There will be retribution. All of the above have to pay!!

Same here... One of my take aways is that I should be a more aggressive nationalist in my public life. The space for nationalist expression has been consistently shrinking in India. This space needs to be expanded. Also, put your money or actions where your mouth is. If we want to see difference in media coverage and the behavior of corporates etc. we must be willing to pay for the media we like and also discard the media we do not. Unsubscribe from channels like NDTV, the garbage peddled by Arun Poorie, stop buying products from MNCs that have taken a conscious decision to undermine Indian culture etc.Suresh S wrote:I have to share something with my BRfites today.

This is my personal list, and things will be different for every one..TandavBrahmand wrote:^^ +108. It would be great if we can list, co-ordinate specific actions to channelize the outrage into action.
E.g.
(1) Every BRFite should subscribe to at least two RW sites/mag.
(2) Be active on Twitter(SM), build a positive narrative and stop feeding the trolls on the negative side
(3) Learn how media houses earn money and never provide them an opportunity to "earn" channels like NDTV et al. - No clicks, no article views, no subscription online or on TV.
(4) Stop the behavior of getting confirmation from videshi sources/persons. Stay confident of your own roots/skills/resources.
(5) Promote "right" content, share, forward stories, links, video here as well as other sites. Maintain a list of recommended sites.

Then those defence correspondents should move to nationalist publications, or start their personal publishing ventures.

I wouldn't generalize to Indian women, though there are numerous examples of any sort of behavior. Those who came through the Partition etc have a very different prescription for Peace (coincides with my own on the national level, but generalizes beyond that).Karan M wrote: The moment we had the pilot captured, social media feed took a turn for the worse from all the "why war" crowd.
Most Indian women are trained by societal norms and personal experiences to see violence as thuggery and to be abhorred. Yes, even this is a generalization I admit.

Describing 70-80 kg as “a hell of a lot of explosive”, Sabherwal pointed out that an anti-tank mine, which can rip open the belly of a heavily armoured tank, weighs just 5 kg and a 155-millimetre artillery shell, which can bring down a building, contains just 12-15 kg of explosive.
bombs used against Balakot are so specialised that they only made a small hole in the roof. If there is a “need to take out the people staying in a particular room without causing any damage to the adjacent room… We have the capacity to do that with this weapon”, they said, hinting at the possibility of secret, specialised munitions.
Good strategy to starve Pakistan from charges earned from traffic overflying between Far-East and Europe air-routes.
