Balakot Airstrike: Pakistan's Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists carried out a suicide attack on a CRPF convoy in Pulwama on 14 February 2019, in which 40 soldiers were martyred. After the attack, the terrorists might be thinking that the Indian Army will not take any action or will take minor action. However, the Indian Army is also no less… after just 12 days, the Army took such action which scared the terrorists. On 26 February 2019, the army launched such an attack on the hideouts of terrorists that terrorists sitting in fear started getting killed all over Pakistan.
'Sleep, Pakistan Air Force is awake': Tweet goes viral
It has been five years since the Pulwama attack, a recent tweet is going viral. The tweet shows, 'A message was posted from the Pakistan Defense handle at 12:06 pm on 26 February 2019, and it read, 'Rest assured, Pakistan Air Force is awake.' The post also contains a picture of an F-16 fighter jet.”
Pakistani army was sleeping and Indians took revenge
On the other hand, the Indian Army moved forward to eliminate the terrorists and attacked Balakot at 3.45 pm the same night, released 1000 kg bombs and destroyed the hideouts of the terrorists. That means the intention was clear to immediately reduce the terrorists and their hideouts to ashes. At that time there were reports that the Army had killed about 300 terrorists in the Balakot airstrike.
1…300 mobile phones active at the attack site
The National Technical Research Organization (NTRO) had confirmed before the Balakot airstrike that around 300 mobile phones were active in the areas where the attack took place. However, Pakistan never accepted it.
2… Construction of Mirage-2000
On 26 February 2019, when Mirage fighter plane (Mirage-2000 fighter plane) took off from Gwalior, the airbases of Agra and Bareilly were also alerted. Apart from this, orders were also given to keep an eye on Pakistani air defense. This step was a clear signal to respond to the terrorists. Then at 3 o'clock in the night, 12 Mirage fighter planes entered the Pakistani border and rained heavy bombs on Balakot… Two F-16 fighter planes of Pakistan also flew to face these fighter planes, but they returned after seeing the formation of the planes. However, by then the Indian Army had returned after destroying the terrorists and their hideouts.
3…Imran Khan trembled after hearing the airstrike!
At that time, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan trembled after hearing about the surgical strike. They started trembling with fear of Indian attack and war. This matter also echoed in the Parliament of Pakistan, but their government denied that India had attacked.
4… 9 missiles also deployed for Abhinandan
Then the fighter plane of Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman crashed in Pakistan, in which he was captured by the Pakistani Army. Then India said, leave our soldiers, otherwise 9 missiles are deployed towards you. At this time, Imran Khan was desperate to talk to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and was continuously appealing to the Indian Embassy in Pakistan. The government of Pakistan bowed before the strategic and tactical power of India and ultimately Pakistan had to abandon Abhinandan out of fear.
5…The country's name should not be tarnished in the world, hence Pakistan's mess was cleared in Balakot.
To show that Pakistan's image is not tarnished across the world and there are no terrorists in the country, Balakot was cleaned overnight. The bodies of the terrorists killed in the area have been removed. Then Pakistan called the international media and pretended that, 'India's attack took place in the forest, only a few houses were damaged and some people were injured.' There are no terrorists here.
India's befitting reply to Pakistan in just 12 days
To avenge the Pulwama attack, India gave a befitting reply to Pakistan in just 12 days and showed India's strength by attacking the terrorist camp in Balakot. An emergency cabinet meeting on security was held on 14 February, a day after the Pulwama attack. In the meeting, Prime Minister Modi (PM Narendra Modi) was told the options to take revenge from Pakistan. Surgical strike was done after Uri attack.
Pakistan never thought that India would attack like this
This time the Indian Army made a different plan for retaliatory action. In the meeting held after the Pulwama attack, Prime Minister Modi handed over the responsibility of the air strike to National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval, after which Doval and the then Air Force Chief BS Dhanoa prepared the attack plan and decided to teach Jaish a lesson. This time a lesson to the terrorists….again the Indian Army shook the whole of Pakistan by carrying out a surgical strike. Panicked after India's action, Pakistan deployed surface-to-air missiles. Pakistan never thought that India would attack like this.
Air strikes and sight from the sky, both together
When the place of attack was decided, all the intelligence agencies started taking inputs. The Air Force had a big role in this airstrike…the army was also kept on alert. Two days before the airstrike, it was decided that Netra AWACS would also be deployed along with Mirage-2000 jets. At that time Netra's posting was in Gwalior. Apart from this, Agra airbase was also put on alert. The mobile phones of all the people involved in the air strike were switched off from the evening of 25 February. Prime Minister Modi, NSA Ajit Doval and BS Dhanoa were continuously taking updates on all the information related to the mission.
