We should've responded immediately by targetting HVA of the PAF / PA, the very next day.
What's the objective? What's the goal? Where will this lead to? How will this be better than what we have already done?

So? Are we afraid of Pakistan? Or should we be? What exactly are you driving at? That of they land a few body blows on you, you ought to be content with a singular slap you landed on their face. Is that how you tackled school bullies?All that will do is end a lot of internal conflicts and PA will be allowed to focus on India. And some countries may decide to support Pakistan overtly after that.
Please inform the families of those 10 IA / RR / CAPF personnel who lost their lives last week. Tell them they ought to feel better it was only their families whereas if we didn't do a Balakote, there'd be at least 40 more such families mourning. I'm sure they'd appreciate your logic and optimism. Or is it rationalization.
True. But wars - short or long aren't fought on sentiments alone. You need money , material and trained personnel for it. Let them be as United as they can be. And let's see what this unity throws at us. Post 27th Feb, we had the perfect alibi to target their military installations and the GoI backed out. No matter. Pakistan being what it is will present us with many such opportunities in the future. Hopefully this GoI and our armed forces won't squander such opportunities.
That's for a start. What happens when unlike 27th Feb, they're actually successful in targetting our military institutions. Will you be as sanguine about it as you are now?
They shot down one our MiG 21 and took our pilot as PoW, in case you didn't notice. Apart from the rank confusion they caught the IAF in which in turn resulted in gaping holes in our AD and one helo down to friendly fire. All these, you consider as spectacular performance by the IAF.
Didn't I mention earlier that the line between optimism and self delusion is a very thin one. One can't tell where does one end and the other begin
Pakistan is already considered to be a rogue state, in case you haven't noticed. They've been fortunate enough, for various reasons, to escape the fate of rogue nations. It's left to our lot that we ought to make them pay the price for going rogue.
Have you read the article? Does an attack on Pakistan constitute an attack on China? Will China go out on a limb and apart from arming Pakistan also fight it's wars. From suggesting China would sell Ships and submarines free of cost to the PN, you've come this far just to justify that one flight of fancy. Please quote from this article where does it say what you've been claiming viz : China will sell PN ships, submarines and armaments free of cost, that they'd militarily intervene on behalf of Pakistan, that they'd suspend their own ship / sub building activities to further Pakistani aims.Would recommend reading this article.
China’s vast fleet is tipping the balance against U.S. in the Pacific
Anyway, my point is China can easily afford to rebuild PN from scratch without it affecting them in any way.
So? Are we afraid of Pakistan? Or should we be? What exactly are you driving at? That of they land a few body blows on you, you ought to be content with a singular slap you landed on their face. Is that how you tackled school bullies?
China will sell PN ships, submarines and armaments free of cost,
that they'd militarily intervene on behalf of Pakistan,
that they'd suspend their own ship / sub building activities to further Pakistani aims.
This isn't my logic. It's your weasel logic. You made the claim.This weepy-whiny logic won't work on armed forces families.
Attacking Balakot was a big deal because that's the number of terrorists that sneak into India every year. That attack was worth a year of peace, maybe more.
So even the greatest powers have focused on divide and rule. But you want to change everything into a head-on confrontation?
Where is that weepy-whiny logic of explaining to families of dead soldiers? Or are you volunteering to fight the Pakistanis yourself?
We would have escalated. Like naval action. And then waited for them to hit back. If they were successful again, the cycle would repeat.
We don't want war. They can't afford it. Not like they want it too.Make out of it what you may.With a few tit for tat attacks, either one of us would have ended it after a point since we do not want war.
Yawn. 27th Feb? Ho hum....But we carried out the strikes simply because we knew they couldn't hit back. And we were accurate in judging their strength.
They fell back defeated? Ah optimism has reached new heights. It's called self delusion out here. Not in la la Land though.All you are discussing is ifs and buts. The fact is we attacked them successfully, and then thwarted their attack, and they fell back defeated. End of story.
Of course it was.Yes. It was a spectacular performance all round.
They responded to the 26th Feb strike. Our response is pending.The Pakistani attack was massive and all they could do was shoot down just 1 Mig-21 and take our pilot captive and then return him in one piece. It's a major win in any book.
In your case, ignorance is bliss.
You should actually be wondering why Pakistan hasn't tried to attack us again after having failed so spectacularly.
Sorry, but we can't do anything to Pakistan short of repeating 1971. And if we do attempt it, Delhi and Mumbai will be holes in the ground because our technology is simply not there yet. Only the international community can help us in dealing with the situation peacefully.
If you want war, it will take a few more years, then we can have your war.
The objective is tit for tat response. The goal is to tell them we targetted terrorist camps in your territory coz you aren't doing anything about it . You're supporting and sustaining an insurgency by lending arms and your personnel to it. This has resulted in our forces taking a massive hit. This is the price you pay. We take out those terrorists. If you respond by targetting our military installations, we retaliate in kind. This will lead to a game of chicken. Provided our leadership is capable of playing it. I'm of the opinion Modi is. I'm also of the opinion PA isn't.Time and time again I've been asking you, but you've been sidestepping it.
What's the objective? What's the goal? Where will this lead to? How will this be better than what we have already done?
They can.
They won't.
They won't have to.
Have you read the article? Does an attack on Pakistan constitute an attack on China? Will China go out on a limb and apart from arming Pakistan also fight it's wars.
This isn't my logic. It's your weasel logic. You made the claim.
I merely asked you to repeat this claim to the families of those KIA. If it's weeny weepy logic, I can't complain. You know yourself better.
What exactly did the PAF precipitate on 27th Feb?
So, you didn't have anything of substance to offer. Hence, ad hominem is now the name of the game.Two can play this game. By the same token, should we take your refusal to fight as typical Brahminical cowardice? Or to be politically correct - taciturnity.
Is PN in a position to respond? That's news. Or are you suggesting the PA or PAF would take up cudgels on their behalf. Hell, weren't you all so thrilled and gung ho courtesy Op Gaganshakti.
Yawn. 27th Feb? Ho hum....
They fell back defeated?
They responded to the 26th Feb strike. Our response is pending.

That's not what you said. You stated they will. Please look up what an assertive statement means.
So you have nothing to offer?
Ignorance is bliss. Gaganshakti and Balakot have nothing to do with eachother. Gaganshakti comes into play during war.
That's exactly what I meant. It was a complete failure.
Ignorance is bliss.
They didn't. If you hit me and break your hand in the process and are lying on the ground crying, why will I try to hit you after that?
Fyi. Iran & the US haven't been skirmishing and fought 4 wars in the past 70 years. Neither have Russia and Turkey.What did the US do after Iran shot down their drone?
What did Russia do after Turkey shot down a manned fighter jet and then proceeded to kill the pilot?
Ignorance is bliss, mate.
Btw, you still didn't answer any of my questions.
Fyi. Iran & the US haven't been skirmishing and fought 4 wars in the past 70 years. Neither have Russia and Turkey.
Matlab swarg dekhne ke liye pehle marna zaroori hain.100% they will. But after we sink their navy.
