I do know that one of the tasks of our SSKs was to locate and track Pak Subs. But attacking them will need clearance from Top.
yes. But they can be the quickest to do the job when needed and also extremely sure way to take out enemy subs.
That is an argument that can be played both ways and is premised on the assumption that US intelligence is so good that they can figure out when the pilot will flip the weapon and in what sequence the weapons will be released.
Then the speculation that IAF foiled PAF's intended targets of Sirnagar and Avantipore AFBs as primary target needs to be brought to fore, because that is something which we suspect as being the primary and the actual targeting being secondary.
Why would they target an AFB unless Pakistani strategists have some sort of fetish for sadomasochism? If that was the primary target, then I really doubt IAF is going to let them off that easy.
Let me load the picture:
Apart from the fresh paint job being in dissonance with the blacked out walls, if you notice there is one outlet of what I assume to be a generator set marked with Purple Arrow. The Red arrows as also the oval marks show significant darkening of the walls, consistent with carbon residue from smoke. A bit far for the generator residue to be deposited. Further, anyone who has stayed in J&K, will know that the probability of shining apparently brand new Corrugated Iron Sheets at the same time, is only if all have been replaced immediately. With blue marked arrows, have marked the area. Appears to be a new set of CGI sheets.
Fake.
Guys, please use your grey cells, (no pun intended)
Have you seen the effect of a bomb in closed environments? Would that effect leave perfectly fine figured wrapped bodies? Or would there be pieces and parts of bodies?
And Edhi foundation in it?
And if the whole thing was a cover up, do you think mobiles would not be taken, thereby making it impossible to take a photo?
Pure garbage.

Political survival. Ignore politicians making speeches.
What was the IB guy, sitting onboard, doing? Heck, what were Indian citizens, on board the aircraft, doing? Could they have not tackled all the hijackers, who were outnumbered by 30:1?
Its quite natural for a gandhi family guys to confuse Negotiation as dealmaking. Here is wat it actually means
Dealmaking : The one quattarochi uncle or Robert Vadra does.
Negotiating : Effort done 2 release hostages held by terrorist after due consultation with all political parties .
It was a surrender - by Vajpayee led government. Had the terrorists exploded the aircraft, India would have been in all rights to sort Pakistan once and for all. And that, when their sum total of weapons would not have needed me to take off my shoes to count on finger.
That would been a casus belli for a full scale war, Pakistan is not no position to fight a war. Not to mention I assume an Airbase would been defended by short/long range SAM sites. Feels like a suicide mission to me.
No. The present situation will turn once the election is over. Once the monkey is off the back then they can go ahead and do whatever they want without worrying about political consequences.
If you were to list out various methods/platforms of submarine detection available to us in terms of detection and engagement speed, what would it look like ?
Limit of escalation. By not closing airspace limited the points at which PAF could have engaged IAF to near LoC. WC Varthman's initiative was not in equation and the planners never anticipated an Air to Air combat involving loss of a plane. It was weird because our planners tried to balance a strike with limiting the escalation. It didn't go as planned... Conflict never does anyways.
