Dear Editor,
The Indian Army has shown to the world that we have the capability to teach a lesson to our adversaries. The strike against the terrorist camps in Myanmar with precision and the elimination of militants without any casualty to self is a loud message to all concerned. The Indian Air Force and commandos acted in unison, displaying high operational preparedness and thorough coordination. It was a daring operation, well conceived and perfectly executed.
Credit must also be given to the government for the political will to strike back at those who had killed our soldiers. Such surgical strikes can be employed at tactical and strategic levels, if need be. Let no one mess up with us. Those who harbour terrorists, watch out.
In the meantime, the MoD should take stock of the deficiencies in the equipment, ammunition and the cadres. To motivate the veterans and soldiers, should the OROP not become a reality without further dilly-dallying?
