Although a limited but unprecedented action, in which Indian paratroopers destroyed multiple terrorist launchpads, it will help to dispel the sense of despair that had gripped India over its prolonged failure to respond to serial Pakistan-backed terrorist attacks.

Now the ball in in Pakistan’s court (or should I say, ISI’s court).
About time!
The sources said the commandos were air-dropped close to the LoC and they struck at seven terrorist launch pads around 2km to 3km inside Pakistan territory — across the LoC in the Poonch and Kupwara sectors.
The sources confirmed that the terrorists — who were planning strikes in Kashmir as well as several metros — suffered “significant casualties”. Although no details were released by the army, some reports said the number of terrorists killed was 38.
I like the smell of Nuclear Winter in the morning.
That is quite a coincidence. My wife was mulling a tummy tuck in the Poonch and Kupwara sectors.
Hmmmmm, how many think the shooter in the pic has any kind of a sight picture thru a rifle scope 2 feet in front of his eyes ? The rear lens would have to be 6 inches in diameter to see diddly, but appears to be a standard half inch or so.
Yes. The final solution to AGW.
No, no nuclear winter, Pakis knows that will be end of them. Indians always dream to convert that place into Disney world.

Oh my ,no more Telemarketers ?
Count down for coup d’etat in Pakistan. .... 10.9.8.7 .....
There are long eye relief telescopic sights, but this photo is nothing but a publicity shoot. No improved position, no ammo boxes, no ear & eye protection, no observer glassing for targets.

Odd looking gun for sure, especially with that scope mounted so far forward.
Maybe those Pakis will “mend their ways” now!
No, I think Paki terrorist will strike in some major city in India during coming Holiday Season (starting from 1st Oct).
If the war ensues, it is good business for Lockeed missiles and fighters. Are they American made?
