BSF destroyed 14 Pak posts only 2 Pak rangers casualties were reported by them(BSF).
Indian Army the other day destroyed 4 Pak posts, more than 25 casualties were reported (in reality 55 got killed). We used artillery+mortar combo that day.
My problem is why aren't we the ones escalating. When the Pakis use 80mm we start to use 80mm on them, when they use 105mm we start to use 105mm, when they use 120mm we start to use 120mm. What kind of stupidity is this.
The above post by sorcerer proves my point. Check out the firearms BSF used in those 11 days and cross check them with the news reports of Paki shells found near villages.
You really believe that the pigs are going to admit to their casualties?
Moreover, I think that the report of 2 Rangers being killed and 11 posts being destroyed are two separate incidents. Its not like 11 posts destroyed caused 2 casualties. They are separate actions.
confirmed Casualties in destruction of posts cannot be given as they need to be physically checked. Not possible.
Or sending a drone. Again not possible as its airspace violation.
Unless you want the army to start inventing casualty counts like the pigs do to appease their masses. Indian Army has never done that and wont ever.
As for escalation, there are some 11 tiers in how escalation takes place. Using small arms and company support weapons like mortars, MMGs is only among the first five levels.
And the keyword here is proportionate response.
By the same logic, the pigs wont use artillery or rockets or they would be pulverized if we used the same.
Escalating further can quickly lead to full spectrum war. Which is not what the government wants at the moment for fear of putting a dent in the economy, because no doubt, War will cost us economically.
Thats the strategy being played out at the moment as far as my analysis of current events goes.
