Following a thumbs up from PM Modi, 12 Mirage 2000 fighter jets of the IAF, along with some support from Sukhio Su-30 MKIs, carried out the attack in the heart of Pakistan and destroyed the JeM camp there.
Flying in three separate formations, the Mirage 2000s and Su-30s dropped Israeli-made Spice 2000 bombs on the terror facility in Balakot without getting detected by the Pakistani radars.
The attack helped India show its military capabilities and gave a clear message to Pakistan that New Delhi ghus kar maarenge (will kill you in your house). Basically, it s a paradigm shift in the way we conduct our operations. The other side never believed that we could carry out a strike inside Pakistan to take out a terror training camp that we successfully carried out, said ACM Dhanoa while speaking to news agency ANI last year.
