Burma/Myanmar is one of the Chinese buffer puppet states. I am surprised the got permission to do this raid.

Burma is desperately trying to move away fron Chinese domination. It is actively encouraging Indian and Western engagement. Seems Burma has also its own problem with Chinese supported terrorists and recently bombed these, inside Chinese territory.

No specific permission was sought for the actual raid.Would have been suicidal if they had done that considering the Chinese influence inside parts of the Myanmar government. The operation started at about 3 A.M. and the Myanmar government was informed during "regular working hours" by the Indian ambassador when the 2 teams from 21st Para(SF) were back on Indian soil.
