How India Planned the Balakot Air Strike | Exclusive Insights from ACM Dhanoa

Описание: 7 years on, the Balakot Air Strike stand as a reminder that India’s response to terrorism is no longer reactive—but deliberate, decisive, and unapologetically firm.

They were carried out in February 2019 in response to the Pulwama terror attack, which claimed the lives of 40 CRPF personnel. The strikes marked India’s decision to directly target terrorist infrastructure across the Line of Control, signalling a shift from restraint to calibrated retaliation against cross-border terrorism.

In a recent interview with The Lallantop, Air Chief Marshal Birender Singh Dhanoa—who led the Indian Air Force during the operation—shared what the briefing was that shaped the planning of the strikes, and how the mission was framed as a focused action against terror networks operating from Pakistan.

The culture, tradition and history of the Indian Military are our rich heritage. Fauji Days, an oral history project, is our unique initiative to cherish and celebrate it beginning in our 75th year of Independence.

Fauji Days believes that our military’s oral history will prove inspiring, thought-provoking, funny at times, and highly satisfying for the curious, especially young adults in their formative years. We are recording engaging interactions between officers, men and women from our Services with young adults from schools and universities. The key is to capture the diversity of lived experiences on the one hand, and perceptions and expectations on the other.

An initiative by 99beagles.
