- 3. INTRODUCTION What is aMilitary Strike??? Military Strikes are a group of military operations that aims an attack to damage or destroy an objective or a capability and comes under the formal umbrella of military operations other than war (MOOTW).
- 4. Types of MilitaryStrike A covert operation is something that is done without an open declaration. This could be anything from espionage, to abduction of enemy to killing an enemy and destroying an enemy target. A surgical strike, is a much like a surgery, - you intrude into an exact enemy territory, you complete an operation ( which is not passive like espionage , but active like killing of enemy/ destroying targets etc ) without affecting the non target area.
- 5. Contd.. Like the killingof Osama, was a surgical strike, you penetrate through the border and kill and abduct the enemy, without warning anyone. This is unlike a war where you do ho halla, and may be stopped at the border itself.
- 6. WHAT IS SURGICALSTRIKE???? Surgical strike is a pre-emptive military attack on a specific target with an aim to neutralize the enemy with minimum or no collateral damage to surrounding structures, vehicles, buildings, or the general public infrastructure and utilities.
- 7. Contd… Neutralization oftargets with surgical strikes also prevents escalation to a full blown war. Surgical strike attacks can be carried out via air strike, airdropping special ops teams or a swift ground operation or by sending special troops. Precision bombing is another example of a surgical strike carried out by aircraft precision bombing which refers to the attempted aerial bombing of a target with some degree of accuracy, with the aim of limiting collateral damage
- 8. How is itcarried out? It is primarily conducted in three ways: Air strikes: The most convenient and safe way to conduct a surgical strike is through dropping missiles or air strikes.
- 9. Contd…. Example- During the Firstand Second Persian Gulf wars in 1991 and 2003, respectively, by the US and its Nato allies. The US also used it against the Taliban in 2001 in Afghanistan and on numerous other occasions. Washington and its Nato allies perhaps lead the world in the use of surgical strikes to achieve their strategic and military objectives. That said, such operations require a vastly superior air power and domination, as demonstrated by the US time and again.
- 10. Contd… Airdropping teams:The second way is airdropping special operations teams, like during the Indian Army’s operations against the Naga militants in Myanmar, reported The Hindustan Times, when a crack team of elite commandos crossed into the Myanmar border and killed 38 insurgents within 40 minutes.
- 11. Contd… Another high-profile exampleof airdrop special operations is the Operation Geronimo by the US forces to kill Osama bin Laden.
- 12. Contd… Precision bombing:A third way is precision bombing of enemy targets as employed by Israel against terrorists operating from Palestinian territories. It is different from air strikes or carpet bombing where there is a much larger impact and destruction of the area, as described by the Gulf News .
- 13. The Final Strike Preparation: The collection of actionable intelligence is essential to any surgical strike, and makes all the difference in the final outcome of such operations. The success or failure of such operations, especially ground operations teams, depends entirely on on- field intelligence. The US collected intelligence and analysed it for months before striking the house where Laden was hiding in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
- 14. Contd… Capabilities: Ultimately,everything comes down to delivery on the ground, which depends on the capabilities of countries using surgical strikes as an option. Most countries keep the information on their special operations teams and capabilities secret for obvious reasons.
- 15. Major requirements forcarrying out Surgical Strike Accurate and credible intelligence is the most important element required while planning and executing a surgical strike. The military’s special operations units work very closely with the Intelligence Bureau, the Research & Analysis Wing, military intelligence services and deep assets that the country has within the enemy nation to get all the information related to the targets, etc. Such Special Operations are very complex and are very carefully planned and coordinated.
- 16. Major Surgical Strikes 1.INDIAN ARMY OPERATION IN MYANMAR In June 2015, a team of some 70 Indian Army commandos carried out surgical strike inside the jungles of Myanmar. The 40-minute operation took out 38 dreaded Naga militants and left seven injured. The strike was planned hours after the Naga militants killed 18 soldiers in an ambush in Chandel area of Manipur on June 4, 2015
- 17. 2. OSAMA BINLADEN'S ASSASSINATION, PAKISTAN In May 2011, the US special forces attacked an ISI safe house in Abbottabad, Pakistan, where al- Qaida chief Osama bin Laden was hiding, taking him out in a contained attack. In the CIA-led operation, code-named as Operation Neptune Spear (also Operation Geronimo), was carried out by the US Navy
- 18. The surgicaloperation that Indian Army conducted covered eight locations up to two km across the LOC. It started around 2.30 am (IST) on Thursday and continued till 8 am (IST) on Thursday on 29 September 2016. The operation began with Indian forces firing artillery across the frontier to provide cover for three to four teams of 70-80 commandos from 4 and 9 Para (Special Forces) to cross the LoC over at several separate points shortly after midnight IST on 29 September. 3.
