If 200-300 jihadis can be killed in one strike, and we kill 200-250 in a whole year in Kashmir would it not be borderline treasonous for the Indian govt to fail to repeat these ops and with 4-5 such strikes finish off all the jihadis that are threatening India?<br /><br /><br />--- There is an unlimited supply of poor, unemployed, disaffected, hungry, brainwashed young men in Pakistan.

The militant camps near the border had been emptied by the enemy.<br />Pakistan has giver priority to protecting its nuclear arsenal and most of its air defence systems are focused on this and not protecting militant camps.<br />Pakistan did manage to scramble two F16 but it’s difficult to intercept the IAF fast flying Mirage 2000 on a six minute straight line 80km return run, back to the Indian border.<br />I am sure Broadsword when he gets the evidence of the dead militants in Blalkot will post in this blog or publish in the Business Standard for now I believe four bombs were dropped deep in Pakistan and the IAF Mirage were in Pakistan Airspace for approximately 20min making this alone a serious escalation which the Pak Chief will give serious thought.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-78072023161055515262019-02-26T05:48:18.981-08:002019-02-26T05:48:18.981-08:001.

What about Quetta and Peshawar then, very deep, ultra deep?<br /><br />2. If 200-300 jihadis can be killed in one strike, and we kill 200-250 in a whole year in Kashmir would it not be borderline treasonous for the Indian govt to fail to repeat these ops and with 4-5 such strikes finish off all the jihadis that are threatening India?<br /><br />3. What is the source of the BDA estimate of 200-300 jihadis KIA. SIGINT? HUMINT? OSINT? Before we diss Pakistani sources, remember the only confirmation of Pak army casualties in the 2016 strikes came from them, and not from Indian or non-Pak sources.<br /><br />4. A Target 80km inside Pak is still within the Weapon Engagement Zone of a Popeye or SPICE weapon launched from either inside Indian airspace or 3-4 km ingress after crossing LoC.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
