sanitization is polite word for annexation of few heights
Can the same be done along/across the LOC in sectors where we are weak?

The Russian movie the 9th Company depicts one such incident. It can be seen from 4:27 onwards. I do remember this being discussed on PDF long time ago and I don't think there were any objections.I don't know some idiot says a russian officer named them that during their covert ops in Afghanistan but that story is straight up bull
certain quid pro quo targets are always selected by both sides in all sectors, some for physical raid/ occupation and some for fire raid/ interdiction... but that means the QPQ response will always come where own side is strong to deter the enemy from aggression where we are weak.Can the same be done along/across the LOC in sectors where we are weak?
I was about to say the same thing.

we tried that in kargil, now after ceasefire of 2003, situation has changed. any attempt of capturing their territory or the same by them will escalate quickly. India is not a weak country militarily. and yes they ve similar plans thats why both sides mostly resort to cross border small arm, mortar and Artillery fire. unlike Afghan border, the whole LOC is heavily militirized and their are no gaps between posts.I meant, rather than a retaliatory action, a very limited op to take a few ridges/heights to remove the dominating presence of the enemy - so that they can no longer target Pak posts at will and if in the future, there is approval for further incursion, it begins the enabling process for it.
Regarding your point about deterring the enemy from attacking your weak areas - that is logical, but wouldn't the enemy also follow the same logic of attacking where they are strong and the other side is weak?
Not our Guy in the first picture. He is probably from US MARSOC or maybe ANSF.

it escalated yes but nothing happened, cross border fire intensified for a while troops were moved to forward locations and remained thr for few months. no operations were carried out by either side against any post/ ground feature, anywhere along the border or LOC.Understood, but wasn't Kargil a full blown affair? I don't know to what extent things escalated to, but as far I'm aware, post-Feb 27th LY, ground situation along LOC escalated for a good few months. I can't comment on the veracity of the visual in the tweet below, but if true, it clearly shows that at least the other side did show some initiative:
