What is a 'surgical strike'?

The latest episode in already simmering Pakistan-India relations is a so-called “surgical strike” – an Indian claim made soon after two Pakistani soldiers were killed at the Line of Control in Azad Jammu and Kashmir as reported Thursday.

With the Pakistani military rejecting that the episode was a result of a "surgical strike", the media in both countries is now hotly debating the terminology.


DG ISPR Asim Bajwa
Lt Gen Bajwa, Director General of the Pakistani military’s media wing told Dawn.com that the notion of the deaths being a result of a surgical strike is a false propagation by India.

“How is it possible that the target of a ‘surgical strike’ has no idea it took place?” he said. "This was simply an episode of cross LoC fire that they [India] have been doing. Small arms and mortars were used in the fire, similar to what has been used before...we gave a befitting response."

He added that India has been chanting the “surgical strike” mantra just for the consumption of her citizens.

Retired Air Marshal Shahzad Chaudhry
Retired Air Marshal Shahzad Chaudhry explained the terminology in a phone interview.

“A surgical strike is one that comes as a surprise and is conducted with surgical efficiency. It happens when an entity does the job and comes out. It is not messy. There is no collateral damage,” said Mr Chaudhry.

“On another level, sometimes what happens is that there is knowledge of the strike but an inability to respond.”

Referring to the incident today, Mr Chaudhry said, “What India has done today is an LoC violation. Not a surgical strike.”

He also dismissed India’s claim that it struck at “terrorist teams had positioned themselves on launchpads along the LoC”.

“In a circumstance when there is so much of tension on the border between India and Pakistan, only a fool would believe that a terrorist would actually infiltrate. Both armies are on high alert, so this is absurd.”

Security analyst Hasan Askari
Hasan Askari explains that the term "surgical strike" is usually used to describe military action involving air strikes.

"This was a ground offensive, not a surgical strike. The Indian military initiated cross-fire from their territory," said Mr Askari.

"It is not possible that they entered Pakistani territory because it is all fenced. Entering Pakistani territory would require that they break that fencing. It is likely that they fired from the LoC."

Mr Askari also maintained that Thursday's development mimicked the pattern of earlier cross-border firing. "The LoC violations that occurred in the past happened on exactly this pattern – what have they done today that is different?"

The Indian perspective
The Times of India, however, uses the following terminology:

“For starters, it is not a war or a call for it. Surgical strikes are military operations undertaken by forces across the world to move on the offensive, hit enemy targets and installations, and return to primary positions - all with lightening speed and with the added precaution of suffering limited casualty.”

While the Pakistani military has rejected claims of such a strike and responded with firing, both the Indian military and media persist in reporting it as “surgical” action.

“Some terrorist teams had positioned themselves at launchpads along the Line of Control,” Lieutenant Ranbir Singh, the director-general of Indian military operations, said.

“The Indian army conducted surgical strikes last night at these launchpads."

Indian news reports also quoted sources saying that Indian commandos entered three kilometres across the Line of Control to conduct the 'surgical strikes'.

Despite these claims, the firing from India and resultant casualties of Pakistani soldiers appear to resemble the frequent skirmishes that occur on the LoC between the two nuclear-armed rivals. Analysts in Pakistan feel India is using the term "surgical strike" to pander to Indian citizens who have been demanding action in the wake of the attack on India's military base in Uri, which resulted in the death of 18 soldiers.

Where are the geniuses who were telling me...."you are spreading rumors and sensationalism", "no Indian IBG has moved"?? There were "no evacuations", its "peaceful" around the LOC, "many of us won't be here if there were even a hint of a conflict", "India will never attack Pakistan", etc, etc??

I even told you people how LONG it took for the Indian IBG by Kashmir to get assembled, and you geniuses gave me negative ratings?? All the more reasons to not like this place filled with members who lie, bullshiit and have ego.
 
You got tricked, just like Neptune Spear. :P

So which stealth helicopter were you using?

You never launch such an operation without the element of surprise, the Pakistan army was anticipating any such move by the ******** no matter how unlikely, this border is also one of the most heavily secured in the world with minefields, sensors, snipers, night vision devices etc how could the ******** possibly fly over with out being detected and shot down and what about the political implications of this for the RSS government in Delhi, if Hindian commandos are captured and paraded on PTV, it would be a embarrassment of epic proportions hence the ******** would never risk it, as the potential cost massively outweighs the benefits. Honestly I doubt even sensible ******** believe this actually transpired.

I think the indian forces are desperate to show that they are doing something to avenge the deaths at Uri. An artillery barrage across the LOC serves their purpose as it requires no troops or fighter jets to cross the border.

Oh, give it a break.

You talk total rubbish, and you remain as unconvincing as ever. That there was to be retaliation was a foregone conclusion; to keep talking about it is inciting trouble. You took that foregone conclusion and used it to display your attachments to those in high places.

As if anyone is impressed.

I wish stupidity attracted negative ratings. You will be very happy to learn that it does not. You will be very unhappy, however, to learn that the administration has been petitioned to remove this restriction, especially for the sake of one or two charlatans still bounding around.
 
Pakistan strongly condemns surgical strikes & also states the strikes did not take place.

And now killing soldiers .... o_O

Embarrassing situations are for those who have some dignity and actually do feel embarrassed, these people don't.
Their main concern 24/7 is PAKISTAN.
Most Delusion nation in this entire world.
