Pahalgam Islamic Terror Attack

So the impact craters of the 5-8 bombs that missed their target in Balakot, were identified? And what does explain the absence of holes before the strike, and their appearance after?
 
We should give atleast 2 weeks to the govt before making any conclusions regarding the actions taken by govt.
Till now it is good that houses are burned in kashmir and iwt is abolished.
Military action should be started in 15 days and we all should be patient till then and keep vigilante near our areas against pigs.

No doubt, craters marred the ground and surrounding vegetation as the missiles veered off course, failing to hit their intended targets, as explained in the article.
 
You overestimate the role Soviet Union played.. Neither the US/UK nor the Soviet's were serious about entering the 1971 war.. It was just posturing..
Hell.. China didn't even agree to amass a few divisions of troops on India border for posturing, when US begged it to do so..

Now, hundreds of thousands of Indian / Chinese troops are already amassed.. China will have to act, not just posture.. And they might act if India makes any major incursion into POK threatening to cut off CPEC..

I don't know about over estimation of USSR role. We would have come out much worse without their intervention.

By any major intervention, I assume we mean taking back PoK or atleast chuks of it. That would obviously impact CPEC. Thus, China might get involved in a limited way.

Also, no one's knows how much of our forces we might need to move from the eastern front to west if the conflict escalates. That might render other areas vulnerable.

So the question remains, do we feel we have enough to take back PoK while ensuring China is not able to gain anything?
 
But to this day, the IAF is insisting that they hit the target with at least a few of the 5-8 bombs that were dropped. Also, western think tanks are almost bever supportive or enthuiastic about anything India does. They will belittle every achievement, including the Agni missile(s) and the ASAT test.
I was convinced that our jets successfully hit the target and ignored contrary opinions until I read Praveen Swami’s article today. It’s worth noting that neither the Government of India nor the Indian Air Force has presented any evidence to support the claim that the airstrike in Balakot was successful.

We won't take back any significant amount of Pok, that forces the chinese to get involved.. If we cross the loc, it will be only to take enough territory to humiliate Pakistan Army..
China meanwhile just like during Kargil, will build a few roads in contested territories to create facts on the ground..
But then, this is war, if a humiliated Pakistan escalates the conflict, things can move in any direction, and China might get involved.. Let's see.. but there will be a conventional response by India, that is sure.. But, whether it will be just a symbolic strike is the question..
