If you read my post in the Batlle between Mig-21 & F-16, I had clearly mentioned that Mig-21 was positioned by GCIO and not by AWAC. I knew that AWACS got airborne later. Moreover M2K ops location is not Pathankot but further south in Punjab.

BTW, @Levina had posted the map of the Chicken's Neck on twitter and was wondering. Looking at the map, we really don't need to capture the entire dagger to control the dagger. Most likely just a few strategic positions and PA might be forced to retreat entirely. We will know soon enough.
She has been missing from here for long. She is right. The Dagger has a choke point to the west. At this choke point the width is just about 2kms. Look at the redlines drawn in the map below. Just occupying 300m from either side will make this place undefendable forcing PA to vacate the entire area or risk getting its soldiers trapped and either killed or taken POWs.
Notice there is just a single route passing in between. Any strategic points there to control access of that route, means either PA will starve to death in that pocket or be forced to retreat through that one route. Could be a nice kill zone too.
What @Falcon stated about capturing few posts of GTI and what I stated were same things about Akhnoor. PA does not control this area anymore and it is under our control now. They tried to strike as around this dagger to recapture but failed misrably with over 50 casulties including officers.
If this is true, then Pakistanis are totally screwed right now. Its already a nasty place, As it is surrounded by India from all 3 sides. Every single military asset in that area can be targeted from all 3 sides with mortars, Artillery.
I even today maintain that we have captured this area. Please read carefully the meaning of CAPTURE
PA counter attacked to take the area shown by red arrows and market with a cross below to widen the neck and librate this area. But were forced to withdraw with heavy loses.
Akhnoor dagger might become a cauldron or kessel for PA if they put too many troops into it and we cut it off.
Sun Tsu- 'There is no evidence that any country in perpetual war has done well'.
I think digging in only indicates we shift focus to some other lever- like diplomacy or economics
it doesnt exist any more. the points of access have been cut. There is beautiful straight line there..
No one ever showed courage to go for it as every Govt considered it IB without realising that Pakistan calls it working boundary of a disputed area. We have now put to rest the dispute in this area.
If Falcon said it is not captured yet then it is not, doesn't mean it won't be but so far it's not. Let's wait for his confirmation too. We are reading too much into not so certain sources and exaggerating with every reply.
It feel more and more like other form where they strike Pakistani nuclear storage with Bhramos every few replies.
If that ground is of so much importance it will be very heavily defended and we can't capture it without good number of casualties and so far we haven't seen anything like that. In all possibility we may have made life hell for Pakistanis staying there but unless it's confirmed by Falcon I won't belive it.

These days some people over there are claiming we shot a Pakistani Sat in our ASAT test
Most likely true, ever since yesterday midnight Gafoora and his ISI minions have been behaving mighty strangely on twitter. Gafoora especially has been hilarious.
I read it for few days and thought they will come to senses and talk rationally but they were so obsessed with Bhramos striking nuclear facility that it became absurd, never read it again no wonder they are finding Pakistani satellite, one of their major moderator is active on Twitter and tweets he likes and engages with looks like some child though he maybe above 50.These days some people over there are claiming we shot a Pakistani Sat in our ASAT test
This is the only place where sanity strikes after few replies and if not, hellfire rains non stop
It bcoz Modi announced shooting down a LIVE satellite.These days some people over there are claiming we shot a Pakistani Sat in our ASAT test
