Indian special forces carry out cross border operation into Myanmar. Several militants killed

If India has done this operation unilaterally .... Myanmar would have objected and condemned it by now.

Could be a "you have been informed" kind of operation.

Why don't we have terrorism, our special forces and NH90's sit useless...life is not fair. Glory to brave hindu warriors! Do you call your helicopter troops "flying elephants", like US call theirs " cavalry"?

Ha Ha Ha ....@jouni's blinkers on eyes !!

who are you referring to as "Brave Hindu Warriors" .. ?? I am sure you are referring to the Indian Army soldiers without knowing that Maities (the militants) who are suspected to have carried out the attack are staunch Hindus rather than followers of Holy Ghost!!

We don't call our helicopters as flying elephants because it would be an insult to elephants... because we call one of our largest flying machines (IL-76) as "Gajraj" - the king of elephants.

And in Hindu mythology there is an elephant capable of flying - named Airawat. Your sarcastic guesses are somewhat correct.

Indian Army conducts ops along Myanmar border, inflicts 'significant casualties' on militants

The army carried out strikes on Tuesday along the India-Myanmar border against militants involved in last week’s deadly ambush that killed 18 soldiers in Manipur’s Chandel district after receiving intelligence of further insurgent offensives in Indian territory.

Army spokesperson Major General Ranbir Singh said imminent threats from insurgents were thwarted by forces at two locations in Nagaland and Manipur along the porous Indo-Myanmar border.

“Based on intelligence, we conducted operations to counter these planned assault. Early this morning, the Indian Army engaged two separate groups of insurgents along the Indo-Myanmar border at two locations. Significant casualties have been inflicted on them. As a consequence, threats to our civilian population and security forces were averted,” said an army statement, tweeted by the defence ministry spokesperson. (This is IA spokes person's statement in that it was not mentioned the operations have taken place inside Myanmar)

Several media reports suggested that the strikes were carried out inside the Myanmar territory, but there was no official confirmation.

Security personnel had launched a massive combing operation in the remote mountainous forests close to Myanmar after a Dogra regiment convoy was attacked on June 4 by guerrillas with rocket-propelled grenades and improvised explosive devices, barely 15km from the border. The government had asked the army to respond with full might to the attack, the worst in nearly three decades, amid fears that the rebels had crossed over to Myanmar.

HT had reported on Saturday that India was likely to seek Myanmar’s help to track down the militants, a fact confirmed by the army statement.

“We are in communication with the Myanmar authorities on this matter. There is a history of close cooperation between our two militaries. We look forward to working with them to combat such terrorism,” the statement read.

A group of around 25 men from the NSCN-Khaplang group along with fighters of the Meitei terrorist group Kanglei Yawol Kanna Lup (KYKL) had carried out the deadly ambush on soldiers, security sources said, indicating a possible intelligence failure.

“While ensuring peace and tranquillity along the border and in the border states, any threat to our security, safety and national integrity will meet with a firm response,” the statement said on Tuesday.

Little chances, militants are operating from Myanmar hence there were little success before. It is wise to cover up the possible cross border operations even if it is a joint op. Remember Bhutan? The widespread news was about Indian forces didn't enter Bhutan but in reality they were fighting along side Bhutan Army.

Excellent point. These operations should always have a shade of uncertainty about them. IA should not divulge complete details but leak out a little bit. Terrorists need to know that they will be hit hard even in safe havens. Such small news leakage is very important.

Some of them are Pakistanis in disguise !

You ask me most of them are Pakis. They are unhappy merely because the results please us.

This was the chinese sponsored attack and the result is merely preliminary test of will. We must get into Tibet and Xinjiang, only then will they back off.

Dont want to drag politics here . But, this would not have been possible in case of previous govt . Very glad to have Ajit Doval as NSA advisior and Kudos to the army .

Yes, your hindu mythology makes our Christian mythology look a little bit plain...Also our Dumbo looks stupid compared to Gajraj...

1. well done Tigers.....................Next is POK.

 

[aliyah]

Did IA carried out similar operation before as well? Or is it new development and coordination with Myanmar has increased?

yes we did.....but that all stopped and all out of border striking were reduce to null of both IA and R&AW when I.K.Gujral became pm of india

Yes, Myanmar would have objected if it were a unilateral op. Indeed it is a joint op. Myanmar has her own interest to support India. The area along International border (Kachin Area) is a militant infested area and they are headache for Myanmar too. Probably China is deep rooted in Kachin. Myanmar has no teeth to tackle the Kachin/Karen rebels(under Chinese support) and the NE insurgents on her own due to Chinese pressure but a bilateral effort with India gives them the ability to contain the pressure (they will simply term it as an Indian operation with moral support from Myanmar).

Back to DFI after loong time ....
I was welcomed by this good news ...
Great work by Indian Army .. Watching news channel :biggrin2::biggrin2:

 

[Mad Indian]

Ah. So that's why Chicom cu*ts here are pissed about Myanmar handling rohinya muslims. Makes sense. I was wondering why the whores who themselves treat Xinjiang muslims like crap have sudden love for rohinyas

 

[brational]

If the raid was on training camp, I am sure few shocking revelation will come up, specially about Trainers, Arm Suppliers and Handlers(if they were made public).
