Why must you continue to swallow such fairy-tales?
@MadDog I am still wondering how long some of your senior and respected members will continue to revel in the use of these two adjectives. He has done enough damage already.
It was never on the cards. It is a figment of the Pakistani romance with Pakistan that the redoubtable PAF forestalled any surgical strikes. There were never plans for any surgical strikes.
And what were the IrAF and the IAF supposed to be doing during this derring-do? Practising their seamanship?
Regarding the evidence, nobody has any doubt that Pakistan pressed the panic button, several times, during the 80s and the 90s. There is surely a huge body of evidence on that front. However, there is not a shred of evidence about any conspiracy, then or later, between India and Israel.
Just the kind of thing that testosterone-rich freshers would come out with. Not surprising that it is therefore part of the fanzone lore.
All this paper said was that India refused to help any such effort.
The rest is a fairy tale.
