Reconceptualizing warfare after post-Pahalgam standoff

India’s reaction to the Pahalgam provocation, irrespective of who was responsible for the massacre, was a strategic miscalculation. During the post-Pulwama- Balakot Operation, India tried to emulate Israel’s policy of punishing the Arab air forces with aerial strikes. Balakot was a parody of Israeli war doctrine. It not only failed to cow down Pakistan but also resulted in India’s loss of at least one MiG-21 aircraft. Modi’s dream of slapping a “new normal” on Pakistan dissipated like foam. In dealing with Pakistan, the Indian military planners underrated Pakistan’s conventional military strength and level of training. Rational Indian defence analysts had pointed out that, during Operation Swift Retort, the PAF had jammed India’s air and ground transmissions.
