How do you know we haven't kicked Porki ass as yet by a cross LoC raid (not surgical strike)? Only this time we haven't publicised it.
When the Def Min promises the retribution publicly, people expect a public admission when the promise is delivered. If they are going to say "well, we did it but we can't tell you, but we also want you to give us credit for it", then it's exactly what Congress used to do.

When Modi said it, he delivered the surgical strike. People are waiting for something on those lines. Everyone has already got an idea that these tit-for-tat border reprisals keep going on all year long. People are expecting a bigger, more visible bang, given that a red line has been crossed by attacking the family quarters of the Army.

That's a Puma not Mi-17 and you can't shoot down the helo until it has crossed the LoC during "peacetime", that would be an act of war.
There's nuance here. As per the 2003 ceasefire agreement between India-Pakistan, both countries have to keep their air assets 10km away from the border. Flying the plane close to the border, even within their area is a violation of the treaty. It was done to make sure both countries don't feel the pressure to mount air-defense missiles and bigger weapons for fear of enemy aircraft. That's the legal bit of it. They've violated it. Now a window of opportunity has been created. Whether they use it or not is up to them. I don't think it should be shot down, as it has limited strategic value, but we should use it as an excuse to start flying our own sorties all across the LOC and pressure them into diverting their heavy equipment from their western theater to the LOC, leaving them weak elsewhere. They are using the helicopters to kill the Baloch. If they are forced to deploy in large numbers at the LOC, those freedom fighters will get some breathing room.

But then you'll have a huge political debate like last time when the Left, pseudo seculars,the Lutyens Brigade and the anti-army lobby went to town blasting the government and Modi for publicizing it and these morons claiming that they want proof etc which played into the hands of the Pakis who quoted them to say that the surgical strike was a figment of imagination!

So should we publicize it? Well, Damned if you do, damned if you don't!

NIA set to charge Pakistan diplomat for plotting terror in South India.

The National Investigation is set to file a charge sheet against a Pakistan diplomat who was posted in Colombo and had planned attacks in South India. It may be recalled that a consular officer from Pakistan, Amir Zubair Siddiqui had plotted attacks and had even set up a module in the office of the Pakistan high commission in Sri Lanka. He had raised a module which was to target the US Consulate in Chennai, Eastern Naval Command, Visakhapatnam and the Israeli consulate in Bengaluru. The Q Branch of the CID, Tamil Nadu had busted the case following it was handed over to the NIA. During the pendency of the probe, Siddiqui was removed overnight from the commission and flown into Pakistan. The accused who were questioned admitted that they were tasked by Siddiqui to strike at important locations in South India. In the first charge sheet, the NIA had not named the diplomat. However, over a period of time, the probe found more evidence of his involvement following which the agency decided to name him in the additional charge sheet. OneIndia News

Back to typical "tactical" actions then? This has been going on for decades, Modi was meant to have "reset the playbook".

Pakis can absorb the cost of a tactical action.
Despite countless fire assaults, ripostes, surgical strikes, trans-LC raids we still are not satisfied till we see Go Pro live telecast in 4K on Youtube :doh:

Got some field battle plans done by Capt Tushar Mahajan 9SF in Feb-2016 during assault on EDI Pampore.

Tried to read and translate it .... you can see how he is arranging the support weapons and buddy pairs around the target. Rest one needs to know the Army convention - am especially curious to know what g, 1, 2, 3 is and g-(c) and 1-(c) is...

Can't be exactly sure but looks like he has put in place his overwatch and fire superiority base to aid a ground offensive to retake the building

Commander in Chief of the Garo National Liberation Army Sohan D Shira has been killed in a fierce gun battle with the Swat team of Meghalaya Police in Dobu, East Garo Hills, on Saturday morning. Security forces had been on the lookout for him since the killing of NCP candidate Jonathone N Sangma.
