How is the IAF connected to whatever is happening at LoC? We are not using air power (yet).
I think the very nature of current operations (extremely discrete) is inconsistent with use of air power. Initial use of air power had 2 purposes...... Local consumption and breaking pak nuclear spell.
I am not sure of modi's intentions, whether it is to reduce infiltration or balkanisation of pakistan. Clearly, the kind of support being received from USA would suggest that a bigger game is being played, that will tackle afganistan, taliban , cpec and China together. Again, not sure about timescales..... If pakistsn responds publically (air attack) , it will become a very public event. Otherwise, it will remain discrete, but I don't see any incentive for modi to back off. Comments......
