India's Balakot airstrike

Days after Pulwama terror attack, India on February 26, 2019, pounded Jaish-e-Mohammed's biggest training camp in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province at Balakot in Pakistan by carrying out coordinated airstrikes. In a pinpoint precision airstrike, IAF successfully targeted 350 terrorists and trainers. India used fully armed Mirage 2000 fighter aircraft for offensive. 

"preemptive and non-military" action by India was seen as a result of strong leership under Prime Minister Narendra Modi who on February 15, 2019, h said 'those responsible will pay a very heavy price' and 'security forces will be given a free hand to deal with terrorists.' 

braveheart of Indian Air Force Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman also spent a few days in Pakistani custody after he shot down a modern Pakistani F16 jet, following which his MiG-21 was shot down in a dogfight with Pakistan Air Force just a day after February 26 Balakot airstrike as Pakistan attempted to hit back.
