this day had a lot of strategic implications. One, it gave Indian govt confidence to abrogate article 370 and 35a, seeing the meek Pakistani response and how quickly they gave back Abhinandan when faced with Imminent Indian naval action. Two, it forced world to give pak stern message regarding the terror groups operating out of PoK. You will notice that since August 5, Indian casualties have Come down to a historic low. Three, it forced Pakistan to upgrade its military infrastructure, particularly its air defence in PoK, which was something they took for granted as they never thought Any Indian govt would order air strikes. This forces them to spend more on the military, constraining their already constrained economy. Couple this with FATF grey list, which forces them to lose billions. For me, this will always be a watershed moment for Indian geostrategic objectives. The only sadness I feel is the loss of 44 precious lives to achieve this.

Not only that but also probably ended the philosophy of death by thousand cuts. Instead of fighting a conventional war, use proxy wars on citizens and soldiers to weaken the country, but these air strikes sent shivers down their spine.

Imran probably still shivers with fear on thoughts of another terror strike leading upto another balakot...

Wanted to see the faces of those pilots who showed such bravery. I'm not a big supporter of war/violence but the calmness and sound mind needed to perform such an operation ranks so high in my book. If in case in future I get see the faces of these pilots through media, it will give me goosebumps.

One of the greatest days in independent India's history. Notice how our casualties and terror incidents in Kashmir/border have dropped significantly, that is enough to show the enemy got the message. No one respects cowards, glad India showed it can be proactive and take risks to defend her interests. Now that the precedent has been set, this is minimum expectation the next time Pakistan decides to cross the line. Even if Congress is in power in the future, there will be pressure/expectations from public to punish our enemy's misadventures, won't be easy to wash hands of like MMS/Sonia did post 26/11.

There should be a national holiday in India on Balakot anniversary. Its not easy to kill a crow and a tree with one fighter jet, no one ever did it prior to 

As per wikipedia

 

Neutral sources have asserted that the munitions dropped by Indian warplanes appeared to have hit several trees in a wooded area but caused no other damage, nor any casualties in the area where the attack took place.[60][61][62][63][64][65] Some Western diplomats also stated that they did not believe Indian Air Force had hit any militant camp.[63] Western security officials have cast doubt over Indian claims and asserted that there are no longer any such large scale militant camps in Pakistan.[

DJ Gafoor’s trolls try to defend the indefensible . They still can’t explain why they didn’t let journalists go up to Jaba top after the strikes to confirm their narrative. Also, they closed their airspace for 2 months because trees were hit :hysterical:

More from wikipedia about Balakot "strike "

 

Satellite data analysis by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute's Nathan Ruser concluded that there is "no apparent evidence of  damage and on the face of it does not validate Indian claims regarding the effect of the strikes."[69][77][78] Michael Sheldon, a digital forensics analyst from Atlantic Council did another independent investigation on the issue which asserted that no damage was inflicted to any infrastructure around the target-site. It concluded that "something appeared to have gone wrong in the targeting process"

 

and more---

 

European space imaging also provided high-resolution image of the site where the strike took place. The satellite imagery was from 27 February 2019, a day after the strike took place. The image showed that buildings were unharmed and there was no sign of casualties at the site. Managing director Adrian Zevenbergen, claimed that "there were no signs of scorching, no large distinguishable holes in the buildings and no signs of stress to the surrounding vegetation".[

In my opinion Pakistan has won the information warfare here and the world refuses to accept that an F16 was shot down even after evidence, all because of the US.

 

You must know that US aggressively invests money in defense technology and they will do anything to protect their F16 brand image, even if it comes to twist facts according to their narrative. 

 

US is no one's friend, they will do everything to safeguard their interests even if it means twisting facts.
