Samjhota express was not suspended by India

the MFN status was revoked from Pakistan
an import duty of 200% was placed on Pakistan
India attacked the non-miltary installation

Pak suspended Samhota express,
Pak closed airspace

Pak came into India, the Indian wg co got captured
Pak gave back wg co
Pak now re-started Samjhota express.


Questions:
If pulawama attack by non-state actor meant a return attack on a non-miltary installation
shouldnt attack on our military instalation mean a retaliation on their military installation?

If pulwama attack meant we revoked MFN status, increased duty 200%, shouldnt attack on our Military mean something similar if not more reaction?

this is the anger/disappointment as of now. agree with me?

Ok so they restarted samjhauta on their own then. Doesn’t mean squat
 
Keep an eye out on Flightradar24 for clues on deescalation, not media reports.
not so good news on that front as well -
first flight in 4 days landing at the Lahore airport.. that airport is the very close to our border. if anything, this should be closed for a long time.

I take my words back.

by the way OCI resolution rejected by India

India rejects OIC resolution on “Indian terrorism” in Kashmir

In one para, the resolution “condemns the trend of unprecedented escalation of ceasefire violations by Indian occupation (sic) forces”.
In the resolution on Jammu and Kashmir, the recommendations included an appeal to OIC members to “mobilise funds” for “humanitarian assistance to the Kashmiri people”.

this was happening since the time OIC's many previous resolutions - was added when Pakistan got the leadership I think.
 
I understand the need for positive publicity and keeping the morale up and not putting down our own armed forces.
That said, I think there is a need to understand why our SAM systems did not engage the 24 aircraft which ingressed. There can be many reasons I see.
1. The time that the were close and engaging near the LOC was too small to take action. With the standoff weapons available, this would mean our SAMs have a large probability to never engage and defend most of the time. This point would work double for the Pakistanis then since ours was the first air mission and hence more surprise and lesser reaction time.
2. Was it a case of being too hesitant to pull the trigger? Stuck in the analysis paralysis mode? This would mean our training for specific rules of engagement and crossing redlines is lacking.
3. High air taffic of our own flying crafts. This is similar case the first point, where its very likely going to be the case most of the time. So are our SAMs not optimal for this age of warfare?

Is there any other reason that I am not seeing?
We need to understand if it is one or a combination for making a difference in any of our future engagements.
