News agency ANI quoting Indian Air Force sources claimed Mirage 2000 fighters of the Indian Air Force struck and destroyed a “major terrorist camp” across the Line of Control early on Tuesday. The report comes hours after Pakistan claimed Indian Air Force jets had crossed the Line of Control, following which Pakistani fighters were scrambled.
The air strike mark a major escalation in tension with Pakistan, which has been high since the suicide bomb attack on a CRPF convoy in Pulwama on February 14 left over 40 jawans dead.
ANI, quoting IAF sources, said the attack occurred around 03.30am on Tuesday and the Mirage 2000s “completely” destroyed the terrorist camp. The agency added the Mirage 2000 fighters used 1,000kg bombs against the target and as many as 12 Mirage 2000 fighters were used.
Military aviation watchers on Twitter claimed the 'Netra' airborne early warning (AEW) aircraft was airborne over North India during the purported strike and could have been used for coordinating the Mirage 2000 fighters. The Netra, which is indigenously developed, is equipped with an advanced radar and control systems for coordinating aerial combat.
A report by News18 said a camp operated by Jaish-e-Mohammed, which claimed responsibility for the Pulwama attack, was targeted by the Indian Air Force.

A “Big Deal”...
A war between to nuclear powers, India and Pakistan, could be a very big deal. The Islamic world could be dragged in to support Pakistan, making it a World War.
And china wouldn’t mind Pakistan giving India some trouble either.
How many of them should we take out? Save some for the Ruskies?
Forgive me, I searched, but did not see your thread.
First time India conducted airstrikes across LoC since 1971.

The fact that low IQ, in-bred, cousing-marrying, violent Muslim Pakistan has nukes (or were given them by China) should worry every thinking person in the world.
Thanks for links
India should destroy camps in Hyderabad (Pakistan).

Not really, Omoeba's no longer Pres__ent.
Looks like they fumbled the kickoff, too.
This is the first time that a nuclear power has directly engaged another nuclear power.
Strongly doubt it.
A good start.
