Got pelters for saying something similar. It's pretty clear the armed forces did not have a clear strategy on an immediate response to any terrorist attack on the scale of Pulwama. There was a window where PAF hadn't started extensive CAPs, arty and SPH mobilisation hadn't happened. But our forces couldn't even light up the LOC, BSF managed to get one of their men captured. All the madrassas and launchpads have now long been vacated. What targets are they going to hit now?And Major Generals of this forum are of the opinion that "War Preparedness" & "War Strategy" for a standing army is something which is done only after a trigger has occurred. So we must be "patient" and let our soldiers "prepare" for a mythical war.
When I said sustained airstrikes, one of these Major Generals of DFB, asked me my plan for/against Pak AD and asked me about the dwindling squadrons of IAF - as if - if I have a desire to see my country respond in a meaningful way, I must also be the one planning all the parts of the operation. Me thinks that the new breed of people born after 2000, who have never seen India in war actually has no idea, and is dreadfully dreadfully wary of the idea of war, and wants to postpone it at all costs. Sorry to say, years of playing CoD and PUBG has ruined the actual thinking of what warfare really is, for these Major Generals.
