SURGICAL STRIKE
A surgical strike is a military attack that results in minimal collateral damage to surrounding structures, vehicles, buildings or the general public infrastructure and utilities. Israel ‘s 1981 bombing of the Iraqi nuclear reactor at Osirak is considered as a prime example of a surgical strike.
In other words surgical strike is a military attack on a specific target. It is defined as
“A military attack intended to inflict damage on a specific target, with little or no
Collateral damage to the surrounding areas. “
A surgical strike is essentially a swift and targeted attack on specific target that aims to neutralise them while ensuring minimum collateral damage to the surrounding areas and civilians. Neutralisation of targets with surgical strike also prevents escalation to a full blown war.
Surgical strikes are part of India ‘s cold start doctrine and have proved effective in following a new infiltration bid by terrorists groups who were ready to attack several locations in Jammu and Kashmir and other metro cities in India.
All the three Indian armed forces have their separate trained teams for performing surgical strike operations. The details of the surgical strikes have understandably not been revealed by Indian authorities. External intelligence is vital to carry out these attacks and these special operation teams work closely with the service intelligence departments, intelligence bureau and R & AW hawks.
These surgical attacks can also be carried out by precision bombing using precision guided munitions. These tactics are especially useful in densely populated areas where raiding underground forces have a higher risk of sustaining casualties and in this case would not be a logical choice.
