In a very bold move by Indian Air Force and of course Indian Government, IAF went inside Pakistan border and destroyed several terrorist camps. This deserves a very open hearted praise for our Air Force and also our government.
Surgical strikes 2.0: The Indian Air Force’s (IAF) Mirage 2000 jets today completely destroyed the biggest training camp of Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terrorists in Balakot, Pakistan. The air strikes carried out in the early hours of 26th February come within days of the Pulwama terror attack which claimed the lives of 40 CRPF jawans in Jammu and Kashmir. With today’s air strike in which 12 Mirage 2000 fighter jets were involved, India has reportedly eliminated around 300 terrorists. The JeM facility that was destroyed in Balakot today was headed by Maulana Yousuf Azhar (alias Ustad Ghouri), the brother-in-law of Masood Azhar, Chief of JeM.
The air strikes, carried out deep inside Pakistan territory, are a big statement from India, feel defence experts. According to Air Vice Marshal Manmohan Bahadur VM (Retd), IAF has struck deep inside Pakistan. “Make no mistake, this is a strike on Pakistan. IAF jets have not crossed LoC since 1971 war and struck Pakistan territory, so in that sense this is unprecedented,” he told Financial Express Online. “India has sent a message and the statement by the Foreign Secretary is a measured one, aimed at diffusing the situation. The onus is now on Pakistan, they are in a quandary and they have no grounds to strike back, since India unlike Pakistan does not harbour any terrorist camps,” he added.
