Why IAF Strike In Pakistan’s Balakot is Bigger than 2016 Surgical Strikes

Twelve days after losing 40 CRPF soldiers in a terror attack, India struck back by, as per sources, striking deep inside Pakistani territory of Balakote, and two sites in PoK -- Muzaffarabad and Chakothi. Surgical strikes 2.0, in which 12 Mirage-2000 fighters have been used, are several times bigger in scale than the ones conducted after the Uri attack in September 2016.
