Operation Bandar: The Blunder of India’s Air Force

Balakot Airstrike

Approximately four years ago, six Mirage 2000 fighter jets belonging to the Indian Air Force briefly entered Pakistani airspace and dropped five bombs. However, one of the bombs failed to deploy. The Indian jets retreated into their own territory less than a minute later due to the presence of Pakistani fighters on combat air patrols. Prior to the mission, the jets had taken off from Gwalior Air Force Station, and four Su-30MKI fighters and Netra AEWACS support remained in Indian airspace.

On February 26, 2019, the Indian Air Force carried out airstrikes against so-called terrorist training camp in Balakot, Pakistan. This was in failed response to a mujahid attack on February 14, 2019, in Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir, India, where 40 Indian security personnel were killed in a suicide bombing carried out by a freedom fighter group.
