Israel's statement was, to paraphrase as am too lazy to look it up, "Israel stands with India in it's fight against Terrorism. The level of cooperation - sky is the limit"
Very pertinent and very important statement that people miss out.
Yesterday only the IAF and GoI realized that they need to keep the public engaged. Tired of tagging them whenever we are fighting the misperception on the social media.
Western 'analysts' and 'journalists' are having 'information' planted by Pakistan on them. Some idiot in GoI thinks that you can stay mum and go one forever.
One can absolutely refuse to divulge/comment on any military aspect of operation, but can still keep the public engaged. Suggested that a single point of contact and information be established with a political representative and reps of military services to give briefs and gag orders on all the ministers being BDA analysts!
Also our dear Maj Gen GD Bakshi needs to just close his mouth.
You have been given the figures and shown the AMRAAM fragment. Sorry, the fragment can not be sent to you
The Airforce did confirm a large package of PAF.
And that a pilot, on extended CAP was wearing an adult diaper too? Seriously?
Are you supposed to tell what all assets were in place?
Think hard on this question yourself.
Agreed. But then PM IK is getting to look increasingly like a fool.
One will never confirm actual number of dead until one can confirm from HUMINT/ELINT. And that is not to be disclosed at this time.
Targets hit in an Intelligence led operation are only confirmed, if at all, later.
Another point remains is that as per what I know through my grapevine, we had 2 Mig 21s and 4 Su 30 MKI in Nowshera of which a couple of Su-30 MKI went towards Reasi, scramble of Mirage 2000 would have been to intercept the second strike force. This was initial number. New numbers keep propping up of 6 Mig 21s or whatever.
That figure maybe due to subsequent aircrafts being put in air. But the initial lot was of Mig 21 and Su-30 (CAP) and Mirage 2000 scrambled as phase 2
He has lost it. ISI will be trying to figure this one out. And they may make it out as some more gibberish.
Hope he was not like this when in service.... But some how he suits for arnab way of journalism
No offense to whosoever wrote it, but ... whatever!
No action was taken on Baluchistan front after PM Modi addressing it in Aug 2015 and (Mr Brahma Chellany was it? Not very sure) some one claiming Pakistan will be broken within one year.
That address and failure to follow it through, was a big failure and a sign of weakness, which was taken at its face and place value and responded to.
For all the hoopla over the so called Doval Doctrine, a very sorry picture has emerged under both his and PM Modi's stewardship. It stemmed from the over hyped miscalculation in actual preparedness of our forces, our country and our polity to deal with Pakistan in a manner befitting a self respecting and strong nation.
In 2015 we were mobilized on exercises, the intent seemed there was something to be done, nothing officially we were told, we were on our routine desert exercise, but the formation was moving from depth after 03 years, as a whole and that takes tremendous amount of money and resources. And we came back. Still feeling that something had to be done which was not done.
Similarly, the situation seems to be panning out. The momentum to undertake a decisive military action to create a position for political resolution, is fast being lost. A nation and its citizens have a very short attention span and the public support that exists now, may not remain for long.
I suggest take such write ups for exactly what they are, write ups.
Oh yeah.... He is still asking the generals... Where is that bloody second pilot you told me you had.....
I would put the equation at something different. But .. then you are being polite here.
Jammers were there .... confirmed.
Mig-21 was downed in a swarm of SAMs and AAMs. Which actually got him, is difficult to say, but AAM is a safer bet.
He needs to be shut down. A couple of others too. Grandstanding and painting a painful image of services. The ex-Chiefs are more balanced. But I think that the media houses are booking those who narrate what they want to push (at times).
IK is looking like a fool not because he shared information but because he lied like a moron. Anyone with half a brain would agree that an AMRAAM means F 16 used. And 'a large strike package' is not 24 aircraft. As for giving out the diapers sizes of soldiers and other details, many ministers seem all too keen to give out that information at the drop of a hat behind closed doors. Even basic briefing is not being given. 'Should we tell them what assets were in the air'- we have alreay told them because we told the US and the Paks will obviously be told as a part of the inquiry. The only people looking at a black box here are the Indian people.
Make no mistake- this stupidity has cost us not only the Propoganda war but also affected our Dipomatic position with our allies. This will take a lot of work for us to take back to previous levels- if we ever mnage to do it
