Google Earth isnt a real time surveillance system.
Its a database of maps that is updated periodically. Apart from that, they are forbidden to cover sensitive areas, in high resolution.

That apart, if any such op did take place, it can be timed to be asynchronous to the overflight time of military surveillance satellites.
Moreover, if satellite imagery would have been so good at covering real time images, what would have been the use of military drones. Surveillance is not for sats, its for on site assets like overhead drones. Satellites are mostly used for identification and periodic surveillance of strategic asset.

Pentagon's spy sattelites can even pick up a car number plate at day time. With synthetic apertures they can even see through overcast conditions at night.
Sites of flood, earth quake are photographed by weather sattelites with lesser resolution.

In these days of satellite surveillance by western nations, no covert operation would go unnoticed. Western media would have surely reported. Resourceful News agencies like CNN and BBC have their own damn good techs of gathering secret info. Google Earth would have picked up destroyed terror infrastructure in PoK, if a cross-border operation happened. I am skeptical about any such claim.
And that would indeed be the case if the Western countries and newsmedia were routinely publishing sat pics of piglets in their camps in Baki Occupied Kashmir and beyond. Tell me , how many such pics have you seen? I am hard pressed to recall even one that appeared in a major "western" publication recently. They have all the fancy pics of probable Baki nuke locations and tunnels, but none of the terror camps.

Now do we claim that these camps do not exist because there are no pics? Or for that matter, how many sat pics of Maoist terror training camps are floating around the internet? They are very much there, tucked away deep in the jungles of Central India aren't they? Then where are the pics?

No, the answer is that these camps do exist as we know. The hills and valleys across LoC are dotted with them and it's from these "camps" that the piglets are launched into India. These camps are cleverly disguised, clustered with villages, interspersed with local population, tucked away in valleys where satellites have little penetration. Do remember, West does not have an unlimited supply of surveillance satellites. Their assets in this region are largely focussed on Af-Pak border and still they are unable to prevent the Talib pigs from violating their rears in Afghanistan and slipping away into Bakistan. Plus you need sophisticated cameras with high resolution, foliage penetrating features and lots of paraphernalia to obtain a detailed mapping of the area.

Western sats over the Indian subcontinent are either focussed on our known strategic assets or they make a pass every few hours or so, which is insufficient to note every nook and corner in vastly diverse mountainous terrain that constitutes the Himalayas, Pir Panjal and Karakoram.

The GoI or the army will neither confirm nor deny that such Ops took place. There's no need to. But that something took place is evident from a number of fairly reputable sources.
1. Gen. Bakshi on TimesNow spoke these words- "Col. Syed [of TSPA], you know what we did to your men the other day and you know what is to come. This is not like the old days." Coming from Gen. Bakshi, these words carry meaning
2. Reputed journalists and I mean the ones definitely not known to rant out of their Musharrafs such as Nitin Gokhale and Minhaz Merchant have hinted that some Ops did happen. Being consummate professionals that they are, they chose to be discrete and restrained. Then you also have the likes of Shiv Aroor who have denied that anything happened, thus, playing the classic Good Cop Bad Cop routine.
3. Bakis closed the air space over PoK not once but twice. Why did they do that? Because they sensed (probably using Cheeni tech) ingress and egress of Indian Helos over the region and being incapable of discerning our machines from theirs chose to shut down the airspace with the view that any aircraft in that region would be either their F-solah or ours.
4. F-solahs flying over Isloo and dropping flares. Despite not presenting any danger to the local populace, who the eff flies their combat jet over their friggin' capital, while dispensing flares all the way?? Do you recall this happening after Pathankot or Uri or Sambha or RS Pura last time?

I do not claim to know the facts and I am probably as clueless as most out there. I would prefer it stays that way that the Bakis have received a resounding jhaapad and we know little about it and the best part is that the Bakis probably know that this is not the end of it and more jhaapads are probably on their way, Inshallah.

Agree, but that they do in a specific time, not in real time. NRO does operate satellites which could obtain real time imagery, but if they start doing this each and every moment something happens in Indian subcontinent, then it would be good for nothing to them.

Let's see CNN international had little or nothing much about the Uri attack, BBC had a small ticker running about the attack. In POK truth is often the biggest victim, the porkies ensure there is a tight lid on media presence let alone coverage. Terror camps or regular posts of the PA are not easily visible on Google earth, often these camps look like regular villages in remote areas. Only MI, Raw know exact locations, discovered through long term comm surveillance, HUMINT, tracking of known terrorists, movements of PA support elements etc.

PA runs a tight propaganda machine to keep its moral up, recently there was an article from a senior commander of Zarb e Kabz claiming over 700 SSG killed in those ops but his articles were taken down immediately and dismissed. What trickles down to the media in Pak is half truths & gross exaggerations

^^ Now that's unusual. Conducting surgical strikes, telling Bakis about it and then telling the media?

Thread closed. Because these strikes were not confirmed.

Use the new thread or the one on Uri attack.
