The last couple of posts veer away from the topic which seems to have become boring - if not embarrassing.

120+ arrested , Chinese & pak flags busted, 700 houses raided, petrol bombs, unauthorized mobile phones, anti national posters found in a raid by ARMY, BSF, CRPF

chinese flag......interesting twist
This could be stupid Pakistani plot to drag china fully into the dispute. But It will backfire. Last thing china wants is Indian flags in Tibet

Embarrassing how? We have never been more proud of the Army. It's just that it's obvious that the Army has decided not to release footage in the interest of national security. Wait till Mota Sharif retires and then someone who is on the inside reveals how he was embarrassed by Indians and how he concocted a story to hide his shame and we will revisit this again.

Doubts will remain till the footage is released or some other solid evidence is presented.

Giving strategic video will be a retarded move.

And ultimately pointless Pakistan denied their involvement in kargil war even when we captured their men at a early stage of the operation.

Think about why the Indian side would release it. The Indian public accepts their version, they don't care about what the Pakistani/Bangladeshi public thinks. The matter is done and dusted.

this is a convenient way of saying that we did a superb job. so next time an attack happens, they can say we did another surgical strike , but would not release a video. everything is smoke and mirror now a days. all are there to glorify this GOI. nobody outside his cabinet believes in the GDP numbers either, and he chest thumps going around the nation to tell the whole world that india is the fastest developing economy.

PM Modi’s comparison right, but Indian Army’s surgical strikes were actually better than Israel’s; here’s why
PM Modi may have under-stated what the Indian army achieved with its strikes in ‘enemy’ territory.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today likened Indian Army’s post-Uri attack surgical strikes across LoC, to the exploits of the Israel Army. He said that the Indian Army has shown that it is no less capable of decisively hitting back at enemies. “Our army’s valour is being discussed across the country these days. We used to hear earlier that Israel has done this. The nation has seen that Indian army is no less than anybody,” the Prime Minister said at a rally in Himachal Pradesh. The comparison is understandable, Israel’s army conducts several combat operations in a neighbourhood it perceives is hostile to its existence. However, in this specific case, PM Modi may have under-stated what the Indian army achieved with its strikes in ‘enemy’ territory. India may have actually bettered Israel with this operation!
Brigadier Gurmeet Kanwal (Retd), Distinguished Fellow, Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (IDSA) believes that Indian Army had to deal with a more organised enemy and tougher terrain. “In my opinion, what the Indian Army did was far better than an Israel Army operation. Across the Loc, what the Indian Army has to face is a regular, well organised army of Pakistan. The situation is completely different from that of an Israel Army operation. Our Army had to find gaps in Pakistan Army’s forward positions to conduct those surgical strikes,” Kanwal told FE Online. “Also, in India’s case the terrain involved was jungle-mountain. Israel mainly has conflicts with Palestine and with terrorists in Lebanese territory. So, to that extent it is a fight on plains,” he adds. “So yes, the Prime Minister was right in conceptually comparing the strikes of the two armies, in fact it is a good comparison. But, as I pointed out, given the extremely tough terrain and the Pakistan Army that had to be faced, I think it is remarkable that Indian Army came back without any casualties. In that sense, our operation was actually better,” Kanwal concludes.
According to Colonel KV Kuber, Independent Consultant Defence and Aerospace, India used its Indian Army and diplomatic information warfare very effectively. “Typically a surgical strike means to strike deep into the enemy’s territory. It is not a shallow strike. However, even though the retaliation after Uri was not deep into the enemy’s territory, it qualifies as a surgical strike for multiple reasons. First, it was conceived and carried out across a 250 km length of the LoC, across 5 different locations. The strike may have happened anywhere between 500 m to 3 km across the LoC, but since you have an eyeball to eyeball contact, both armies watching, it was a very valiant and daring strike. Therefore, it can easily be called a surgical strike,” Kuber told FE Online.
Comparing the post-Uri strikes to earlier retaliations, Kuber says, “In the past, we have retaliated, but at a local level. This was on the other hand a well-thought out operation, with a break between the Uri attack and the retaliation. The statements made after the Uri attack were mixed, hence lulling the enemy into a false sense of security. It was a coordinated operation. So in many ways it was better than an Israeli Army operation.” “Israel’s best operation was that in 1976, when Israel rescued hostages from terrorists at the Entebbe Airport in Uganda. Israel para-dropped forces, while the government fooled hijackers into believing that the country was willing to talk. Even in India’s case, the information warfare was used very effectively. We confused the enemy,” he lauds.
The Indian Army on September 29 announced that it had carried out surgical strikes across the LoC, destroying multiple terror launchpads and inflicting heavy casualties. This was the first time since the 1971, that Indian Army announced crossing the LoC. DGMO Lt Gen Ranbir Singh along with NSA Ajit Doval and Home Minister Rajnath Singh is reported to have said that around 200 soldiers were involved in the operation.

What exactly are you saying? That this strike did not happen? Or that it did happen but the next time, government will claim they did something using this action as an excuse? Do you have any proof of either accusation or is it just your hypothesis?

No, what he's saying is that he finally got some relief after applying a truckload of burnol so now he's back to trolling.

You just need to look at his porting history here and on BRF- pure, unadulterated, incomprehensible garbage. Indulging him is a waste of time.
