Indian Air Base at Pathankot under attack by gunmen.

[Spectre]

.


It's still on, two scumbags are hiding in a Building & firing intermittently. They need to be neutralised.

Why not gas them out? Just taking a wild shot here, I am sure security agencies have taken all options into consideration.

Only thing which makes sense is they need them alive hence prolonging the encounter so that fatigued and under responsive terrorist don't detonate themselves.

 

[Parul]

still no official statement from the PM or government.

Rajnath Singh and others have spoken on this. Are they not represent GOI? #modishouldspeak

This would result in Civilian Casualties. Army is trying to keep it to minimum.

How? Aren't the civilians evacuated from the vicinity or are they holding hostages

 

[The_Sidewinder]

No it isn't. 57th hour! It is not an easy area to clear given the length and diameter along with the number of structures available to hide. It is said to be a 14 KM area with runway strips, aircraft pens, admin blocks, fueling stations, and then the officers and jawans living area (generally called domestic area in military terms).So, no it is not yet cleared completely.

Tough time for India. We have been through these a number of times and do realize how horrible it feels

I can undertand. I myself live near a couple of AF bases.

 

[PARIKRAMA]

For people of both sides, can some one logically explain to me what benefit one derives from

1. Assuming ISI really did this going against GoP and PA (both Nawaz Sharif and Raheel Sharif) especially when India Pakistan talks is about everything (including terror and Kashmir)?

2. False flag ops? Why the hell Doval would like to screw his career with a false flag ops killing our own soldiers? what benefit it dervies

3. Why not any third angle besides the above two only?

Would like meaningful responses to understand...

For other who are either making fun of the dead or about the terror attacks or about the usual India vs Pakistan, pls refrain as this tragedy is too big for such small trolling and potshots.. Would like to hear all of your view on this..

Thanks.

RIP to the martyr soldiers..

No "sir" please. Well i hope terrorists gets neutralised.

Thier is no clarification on this. During just concluded press briefing Army said that operations is going slowly as Army is trying to make sure that thier is no collateral damage.

That points out to the fact that these terrorists have some kind of leverage either in terms of assets or hostages otherwise the NSG guys could have easily stormed in and neutralize them. They are trained exclusively in neutralizing suicide bombers.

All in all doesnt look well.

Lot of thing being hidden i believe no real info is out or may be ever they tell us the correct version. I am agree with you hostages quite possible, How much ammo they are carrying they can't fight for 3 days straight i believe 2 + terrorists are there taking naps on turns and have access to food and water.

I meant that they have not officially implicated the Pakistan Army/ISI so far, and yes, modi needs to make a statement.

captagon ?

captagon ?

Only drug can't help too much, they must have access to water and may be carrying dry fruits anyway its too long i.A should use explosive to take them down or may hiding in sensitive part they don't want to damage that another possibility is hostages, it give hints there are more then two terrorist.

True, now for the third angle:
Attack has some indirect link to US CIA, utilising their assets (moles) in Pakistani ISI, to keep the tensions between India-Pak to prevent Peace in the region and keep supplying both sides with military hardware. This is much more plausible than false flag or any other bs theory. Do recall that US is the top defense exporter in the world...and Pak-india are in the top 5 defense importers.
Peace process must go on, hope Modi isn't stupid enough to call off talks.

4. P!gs who are being hunted in on-going ops Zarb-e-Azab can also use the opportunity to divert focus from them.

Probability of third party was very high, and both parties already acknowledged it and committed that none would be allowed to derail the talks (which imo is pipe dream), but Indian politicians and media as usual acted like dhakans and started bashing Agency, PM and COAS of Pakistan within seconds of attack. Just like there is example of Kargil to justify narrative of Indians, there are also false flag like Samjhoota Express and Killing of Sikhs and Pandits in Kashmir on Clinton's visit to justify narrative of Pakistanis'. So, holier than thou arguments will never stop.
