This is what IAF will do to ensure Balakot-style op isn’t questioned again
The IAF has rewritten firing protocols for air-to-surface Israeli missile Crystal Maze, which gives live feed of hitting the target.

New Delhi: All future operations on the lines of last year’s Balakot air strikes will have a video feed of the attack for military personnel to get real-time information, which will also help with subsequent analysis of the hit, ThePrint has learnt.

According to sources in the defence establishment, the Indian Air Force (IAF) has rewritten firing protocols for the air-to-surface Israeli missile, Crystal Maze, as it was felt that the missile could have been fired along with the Spice 2000 during the Balakot strike but the rules at the time didn’t allow for it.

The Crystal Maze, which has a camera that opens up as it nears the target, gives a playback of hitting the target. The missile, which has a range of about 80-100 km, can be navigated further through a cursor by the operator who can actually pin point it to the centre of the target.

The IAF had used the Israeli Spice 2000 bombs to hit the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) camp in Pakistan’s Balakot in tandem with the Crystal Maze.

A video would have helped faster post-analysis, the sources said.

Now, the firing protocols for Crystal Maze have been changed, said a source who didn’t want to be named.

The decision was taken after the lack of a video feed from the Balakot air strike became an issue of intense political slugfest, and helped the Pakistan military’s publicity wing, Inter-Services Public Relations, launch a propaganda war, which helped create initial doubts in the minds of many.

“The Balakot strike was meant to send a message to the enemy and the enemy has heard it loud and clear. No matter what they say, the military bosses in Pakistan know what happened,” said a second source.

I am pretty sure they could have recorded the footage if they didn't run away in haste

Let me reword it for more accurate representation.

In case of any future Balakot like strike plan, IAF will now be using TV guided missile which have the option of changing the target at the final stage (copying Pakistan) as they failed to correctly configure Spice 2000.

You bring it on buddy. We have other surprise packages for you.

As do the bosses in India whose bases were struck on the morning of 27th February. The message was heard loud and clear.

They could have released satellite damage assessment photo's, authenticity of which could have been verified by a independent observer.

In case of Balakot even an indian forensic analyst had observed targets not hit.
