[Patriot]

More like a special operations than the general acts of terror.

Terrorist Destroyed 2 P3c orien Aircraft of Pak Navy...

Whether these 2 were latest one...

Regardless of extremist action, but this action is more like a well-trained military action, which targeted a very strong, do you really think that extremism can have such action?

sir you are underestimating capabilities of terrorists...they always know that they are not going to be alive after they attack...so they are prepared at many different levels than other soldiers..

According to reports: Pakistan Navy has so far lost 6 sailors, 1 Rangers guy. Terrorists were using heavy machine guns, RPGs, Hand Grenades and 4 terrorists killed, 3 have killed themselves, 4 arrested.

Pre-positioned -- inside job, with the help and cooperation of low level Pakistani soldiers, airmen and sailors -- Now this cannot be hidden from the world, that the real reason Pakistan does not make progress against terrorism, and Islamist extremism, is because a good portion of it's forces are suffer from the contagion of Islamism - so small acts of sabotage are now common and of course large operations like this are also considered - the blame will go on "foreigners", Indians and Mossad and Martians -- but the world will now know exactly where the rot is and so will the people of Pakistan --

Point being that even this attack on a naval base resulted in minimal damage - the terrorists did no 'fly off' with a P3 or chopper.

Hypothetically, if such an attack did take place at a nuclear facility, the result would be the same - a few security personnel might be martyred, minor damage here and there, potential hostage situation, and eventually all terrorists killed.

There is simply nothing to suggest that an attack on a nuclear installation would result in a meltdown or any strategic assets being compromised. The amount of manpower and explosive material required to do that is something that is simply impossible for any terrorist organization to put together.

Hypothetically, if a group of 20 terrorists capture a building with a few nuclear warheads.. What will it take in your opinion for them to detonate one of them right there??

If they are terrorists, then they must have received a good military training, it seems like a special operations training. without outside help, what terrorist organizations can provide such military operations?

Blunder after Blunder... Bravo!

It is not only the question of entering the base, also with such huge amount of ammo to fight armed forces for 11 hours straight!! and that too in a military base. These terrorist are taking the game 1 level higher each time. What gives them this motivation?? Pakistan has to attack that motive first.

True, most of the Mumbai attackers had no intention of being taken alive. Still, to fight passed trained guards at a secured military installation is not something rag-tag band of militants can do. You need some major planning and preparation for that. Most importantly, intelligence on target which may be provided by turncoats.

No, this is a special operations as the in-depth internal, not to detonate a bomb at the door. Some things do not like.

Nothing short of a massive operation in NW will solve this problem.

Mumbai is a city unguarded, which is military bases, Indian police's equipment is old, India's reaction is slow. This is a completely different and this military action.
