India's sensational cross-border raid

NEW DELHI: India's sensational, and successful, cross-border raid in Myanmar is not likely to go unnoticed in its neighbourhood, especially across its western border where Pakistan has long been preparing to thwart a similar surgical strike by developing tactical or non-strategic nuclear weapons.

Whether or not India can carry out such a strike on Pakistan territory is a question likely to be debated with much enthusiasm after the Myanmar swoop down. The government will also be under pressure to retaliate similarly if another Mumbai like attack takes place anywhere in India.

It was in response to India's so called cold start doctrine that Pakistan started to focus on acquiring smaller, low-yield or what are called tactical nuclear weapons to deter Indian troops from entering its territory. The cold start, which the Indian army has never publicly acknowledged, envisages counterattack across the border within hours of a terror attack to neutralise terror groups and camps. Unlike Myanmar, Pakistan will look upon such an incursion as an assault on its sovereignty.

It was after the Mumbai attacks that Pakistan intensified its attempts to develop these non-strategic weapons. In a 2012 report, US nuclear expert Hans M Kristensen identified Pakistan as among the 5 countries which either had or were developing tactical nukes, the others being China, Russia, France and US.

As the Indian Army confirmed in its announcement, the attack was not just retaliatory, with 18 army men being killed by rebels in Manipur last week, but also pre-emptive in nature as those eliminated were said to have been planning more attacks in India. The sui generis nature of the cross-border raid has given rise to suggestions that India under Modi may be veering towards former US president George Bush's doctrine of pre-emption which was accommodative of unilateral military action.

In the case of Pakistan though, what is of serious concern to India is the fact that along with its tactical nukes Pakistan has also simultaneously developed the short-range, nuclear capable Nasr missile.

According to Kristensen, Nasr seemed intended for use against any likely invasion by Indian troops which Pakistan may not be able to stonewall through its conventional capabilities. The ballistic missile can fire up to 60 kilometres and can be launched from a mobile twin-canister.

"Following its first test launch in April 2011, the Pakistani military news organization, Inter Services Public Relations, described the Nasr as carrying a nuclear warhead 'of appropriate yield with high accuracy', with 'shoot and scoot attributes' that was developed as a quick response system to 'add deterrence value' to Pakistan's strategic weapons development programme 'at shorter ranges' in order 'to deter evolving threats'," Kristensen had said in his report

Did IA carried out similar operation before as well? Or is it new development and coordination with Myanmar has increased?
The Army has done this across LoC in J&K as well. Such actions are never publicized or officially acknowledged.

Yes, IA carried out similar op before in coordination with Burmese Army. IIRC it is in 1995.
This time also Myanmar Army has given the go ahead but the op may be solo. The raided area may be not very far from International border.
Congratulations to the Op team for their success. More such ops required, specially along Arunachal -Myanmar border. Thank you Myanmar!
I believe, hindi movie Tango Charlie is based on that operation.

These are HAL ALH Dhruv. The reports state Mil-17-V5.

If truly the Dhruv was used, then it is good publicity for our homegrown helicopter.

Many of the soldiers have north eastern looks.

In the biggest counter-insurgency operation carried out by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s year-old government, the Indian army entered Myanmar to strike militants involved in an attack last week that killed 20 soldiers.
The operation, which started Tuesday morning, will continue in the coming days as several militant groups based in Myanmar have been active in India’s northeast, said an Indian army official with knowledge of the operation. He asked not to be identified as the information hasn’t been publicly disclosed.
