Balakot airstrike 1st anniversary: We look back with satisfaction, says former IAF chief Dhanoa

While speaking to ANI in the national capital on February 26, the former Indian Air Force (IAF) Chief Birender Singh Dhanoa spoke on first anniversary of Balakot airstrikes. He said, “One year has gone fast and we look back with satisfaction. We have learnt a lot of lessons and a lot of things have been implemented after Balakot operations.” “Basically, it is 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,” BS Dhanoa added. “After Balakot airstrike, there was no major terrorist attack throughout the Indian elections because they were scared that we will respond again in the same manner or even more devastatingly,” former IAF Chief further stated.
