We are officially not at war, there is no national emergency, and the last thing Modi wants is being seen as someone capable of nationalising manufacturing facilities--something that will scare away manufacturing investors (which is what chicoms want). We need to tell India inc to go fvck itself twice daily, and continue the climb up the escalation ladder.Then import and screw the domestic supplier. Or take over the production using emergency wartime powers.
If our industry can't support us during wartime they are not different than any foreign suppliers. Both only value money.
It's actually clever in a dark way. If we hit a civilian aircraft trying to intercept, they get to showcase us as the villian and agressor.
It's just a fact of fighting jehadis. That's why this playing proportional doesn't work with them. They aren't really a sane opposition.
They grounded all Chinese ZDKs due to poor performance after Balakot. They only operate Saab erieyeI heard their SAABs are old and grounded .
They are using Chinese ones.
One is not enough. I hope they dropped a lot more than that.
A press conference of the Government of India is a formal event. The highest bureaucrat in the department has more weight in the eyes of the world than someone of lower rank by virtue of his office/ portfolio. The kind of ad hoc arrangement you are suggesting (subjectively judge who is the best public speaker from arbitrary set of people) can not be codified in a rulebook and hence isn't followed. My last on this OT
I don't think a single airstrike post the attack on Israel achieved anything with regarding to stopping Iran.Modi set out to remove asymmetric warfare as an option from the paki table, to tell them that any terrorist attack will spark military action. This objective has not been met. In fact JeM is planning an IC814-styled attack as revenge for Bahawalpur redecoration.
India can only meet its objective of removing asynchronous warfare from the paki table by continuing to escalate to the upper rungs of the escalation ladder (eg: sinking their ships, blockade, ground invasion), and inflicting territorial costs in PoK. All India has achieved is another ceasefire during which they'll plug their air-defence gaps and hit us with their next terrorist attack.
Thought so. This allows us to target some of their so called civil infra but I trust our authorities to act morally and responsiblyBtw, using civilian airlines as shields for military operations is a warcrime
Yep too many bhosdaspillers.Members doing Speculative drama around De-escalation will be thread banned for 7 days.
Please even reply to DMMembers doing Speculative drama around De-escalation will be thread banned for 7 days.
You realize this is just for the global audience right. Why would they say something like that in a press conference? You have to try and understand the optics and the narrative here, India is trying to paint Pakistan as the aggressor and India rightfully defending itself against Paki aggression, essentially forcing *Pakistan* to de-escalate.
Nothing in the press conference means *WE* are de-escalating. Heavy shelling is still going on in Poonch and elsewhere. Don't take these pressers as some gospel truth. It's mostly messaging.
Yes, 25 of their people die daily in violent attack by militants they don't seem to care.It's very simple, to deter the enemy the cost you inflict has to be unacceptable to them.
I don't believe any material cost will matter to Porkies. The only thing that they won't be able to sell to their citizens is change of borders.
So unless we escalate to this level, their behaviour will never change and we will be stuck in the vicious cycle.
