India Launches Airstrikes On Pakistan As Tensions Explode Over Terror Attack

India’s airstrikes on Pakistan escalate tensions, with both sides exchanging fire and Pakistan vowing retaliation.
Tensions between nuclear-armed rivals India and Pakistan dramatically spiked Tuesday after India launched multiple airstrikes on several parts of Pakistan and Pakistani-controlled territory.


 

 
The Indian military said it struck nine sites where “terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed,” reported BBC. Pakistan denied the claim, alleging that Indian strikes hit civilian areas and killed two children, according to its military.
India’s embassy to the United States said the strike, dubbed Operation Sindoor, was in response to a terror attack in Jammu & Kashmir on April 22 that left 26 civilians dead. According to India, a few of the terrorists, who are accused of specifically targeting Hindus, were from Pakistan.
The terror attack happened as Vice President JD Vance visited India on a four-day trip, which included a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Following the terror attack, tensions between the longtime rivals escalated, with cross-border small arms fire and the suspension of a river water-sharing treaty.
“India has credible leads, technical inputs, testimony of the survivors and other evidence pointing towards the clear involvement of Pakistan-based terrorists in this attack,” the embassy said in a statement, calling its actions “focused and precise.”
The statement added that India was hopeful Pakistan would take action against the terrorists, but instead “indulged in denial and made allegations of false flag operations against India.”
Despite India stating that its strikes were meant to be non-escalatory by attacking “terror camps” and not Pakistani civilian, economic, or military targets, Pakistan vowed to respond to the “cowardly attack,” and followed up by firing artillery just across the border in India-administered Kashmir, reported BBC.
“The treacherous enemy has launched a cowardly attack on five locations within Pakistan,” Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said in a statement. “This heinous act of aggression will not go unpunished. Pakistan reserves the absolute right to respond decisively to this unprovoked Indian attack — a resolute response is already underway.”
Sharif added that the Pakistani people and its forces “are fully prepared to confront and defeat any threat with our strength and determination.”
Pakistan claimed it shot down two Indian jets and one drone, though India has not confirmed this report, according to BBC.
“The enemy will never be allowed to achieve its malicious aims,” the statement concluded.
India’s National Security Adviser Ajit Doval briefed Secretary of State Marco Rubio (who is also serving as U.S. National Security Advisor) on Wednesday about the escalating conflict.
President Donald Trump called the strikes “a shame” on Tuesday.
“We just heard about it just as we were walking in the doors of the Oval [Office],” Trump said. “I just hope it ends very quickly.”
A spokesperson for United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he is “very concerned” about the escalation and called for “maximum military restraint,” reported BBC.

An American MACV-SOG* reconnaissance group after being evacuated from the Vietnamese jungle by a CH-53 Sea Stallion helicopter via a STABO (STAbalized BOdy) system during Operation Tailwind in Laos in September 1970 during the Vietnam War. An AH-1 Cobra attack helicopter is shown providing escort.
Members of MACV-SOG carried out some of the most dangerous and top-secret missions of the Vietnam War.
The design for the STABO system was first created on a napkin by U.S. Special Forces Sergeant First Class Clifford Roberts after he saw a wounded man accidentally fall out of a McGuire extraction rig in a combat evacuation. With the aid of two others named Major Robert Stevens and Captain John D. H. Knabb, Sergeant Roberts made a prototype of his STABO design out of parachute lofts on the sewing machines his unit used to repair parachutes. When he presented the design to his superiors, they approved it and ordered 500 rigs. Roberts was subsequently awarded the Bronze Star for the successful design.
STABO was later used to evacuate soldiers from areas where helicopters cannot land, such as in the thick jungle canopies of Southeast Asia. The evacuees would fly like this for a short while until the evacuation helicopter could find a spot to land and load them inside. STABO was later replaced by the SPIE (Special Patrol Insertion/Extraction) system, which itself is a direct and very similar descendant of the STABO rig.


*MACV-SOG—Military Assistance Command, Vietnam—Special Operations Group (later renamed Studies and Observations Group), was the elite military unit of the Vietnam War, so secret that its existence was denied by the U.S. government. The group reported directly to the Pentagon’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, and much of its history and exploits were concealed for years from the general public by a veil of secrecy and confidentiality.

US Forces on High Alert, Preparing for 'Significant' Attack in Middle East by Iran on US, Israeli Assets.

American forces have been placed on "high alert" as of Friday, in anticipation of a possible attack by Iranian forces on either U.S. or Israeli assets in the Middle East. The attack, if it happens, is expected to come as soon as next week.
Senior US officials currently believe that an attack by Iran is “inevitable” – a view shared by their Israeli counterparts, that official said. The two governments are furiously working to get in position ahead of what is to come, as they anticipate that Iran’s attack could unfold in a number of different ways – and that both US and Israeli assets and personnel are at risk of being targeted.
A forthcoming Iranian attack was a major topic of discussion on President Joe Biden’s phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday.
The attack is expected to be in retaliation for the killing of several Iranian officials in an Israeli air attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus on April 1st. The Biden administration reportedly notified Iran that the U.S. had no part in the attacks; they appear to be trying to deflect Iranian efforts away from American forces and installations.
The US was quick to inform Iran that the Biden administration was not involved and had no advance knowledge of Monday’s strike on the embassy and has warned Iran against coming after American assets.
“The United States had no involvement in the strike and we did not know about it ahead of time,” a National Security Council spokesperson told CNN earlier this week.
Iran may not be receptive to the Biden administration's statements, as the Islamic nation has historically referred to the United States as the "Great Satan," while referring alternatively to the United Kingdom and Israel as the "Little Satan." It's not at all unlikely that if Iran is to launch attacks on the scale that the preparations would seem to imply, they may strike both U.S. and Israeli installations.
The worst-case scenario? An attack directly on Israel.
As of Friday, the two governments did not know when or how Iran planned to strike back, the official said.
A direct strike on Israel by Iran is one of the worst-case scenarios that the Biden administration is bracing for, as it would guarantee rapid escalation of an already tumultuous situation in the Middle East. Such a strike could lead to the Israel-Hamas war broadening into a wider, regional conflict – something Biden has long sought to avoid.
There is good reason to try to avoid such a confrontation, but while it takes all parties to prevent a war, it only takes one to start a war, and Iran may be at that point. The Islamic nation is beset with problems, including inflation, a moribund economy, and a population that is increasingly restive under the current Islamic dictatorship. While it's possible Iran's leadership would see a war as a way to distract from the failures of that nation's government, it would also likely lead to a much larger regional conflict as the various Muslim-majority nations start choosing up sides, which would make life for Israel, to say the least, unpleasant.
Earlier Friday, a statement from the United Nations* took a distinctly anti-Israel tone.

*via AP:
GENEVA (AP) — The U.N.’s top human rights body called on countries to stop selling or shipping weapons to Israel in a resolution passed Friday that aims to help prevent rights violations against Palestinians amid Israel’s blistering military campaign in Gaza.
The 47-member-country Human Rights Council voted 28-6 in favor of the resolution, with 13 abstentions.

The resolution also called for an "immediate ceasefire in Gaza," and for Israel to "immediately lift its blockage" of Gaza, along with several other non-binding demands--essentially a sternly-worded letter:
The Human Rights Council this morning adopted five resolutions, including a text in which it demanded that Israel immediately lift its blockade on the Gaza Strip and all other forms of collective punishment, calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.  The Council called upon all States to take immediate action to prevent the continued forcible transfer of Palestinians within or from Gaza, and to cease the sale, transfer and diversion of arms, munitions and other military equipment to Israel.

In 1943, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Navy, and Royal Air Force with 2 early Sikorsky helicopters, based out of Coast Guard Airstation Brooklyn, NY practiced the first ship-helo landings aboard MV Daghestan. Their efforts laid the groundwork for shipboard helo ops in use to this day. At the time, this was driven by the need for an airborne asset that could patrol longer range to protect convoys for ASW.

MV Daghestan

Wartime construction built for the Hindustan Steam Shipping Co. Ltd, of Newcastle to replace a lost ship of the same name, MV* Daghestan was a 7,200-ton Santa Rosa SR-3 type grainer with four holds. Laid down at William Doxford & Sons Ltd., Pallion, as Yard No. 674, she was completed in August 1941. As a British cargo ship plying the North Atlantic during the “Happy Times” of Donitz’s U-boat wolf packs, her life expectancy outlook was mixed at best, and she was soon on regular convoy runs.
Soon after she was completed, Daghestan was one of eight privately-owned British merchies that, along with 27 Ministry of War Transport-owned ships, were selected for use in the Catapult Armed Merchantman program. The CAM ships were a desperate effort by the Brits to counter long-ranging German Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor patrol bombers of Fliegerführer Atlantik who were prowling the sea lanes between Canada and Ireland, bird-dogging convoys who had no air cover.
*Motor Vessel

MV Daghestan - 2 - German Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor

Carrying a low-UHF band sea search radar and a 2,000-pound bomb load, the Condor could remain aloft for 14 hours, ranging some 2,200 miles from bases in occupied France, haunting not only the Bay of Biscay and the English Channel but pushing out to the Irish Sea and North Atlantic proper as well.

The ungainly Condors proved extremely effective in both cueing U-boats and plinking freighters on their own, reportedly taking credit for some 365,000 tons of Allied shipping between June 1940 and February 1941 via low-altitude bomb drops on slow-moving targets.
Winston Churchill described the Condor as the “Scourge of the Atlantic” and penned a March 1941 memo to the MOD saying:
1.    We must take the offensive against the U-boat and the Fokke Wulf wherever we can and whenever we can. The U-boat at sea must be hunted, the U-boat in the building yard or in dock must be bombed. The Fokke Wulf, and other bombers employed against our shipping, must be attacked in the air and in their nests.
2.    Extreme priority will be given to fitting out ships to catapult, or otherwise launch, fighter aircraft against bombers attacking our shipping. Proposals should be made within a week.

As with the other CAM ships, Daghestan had a short 85-foot catapult fitted over her bow, just past her forward cargo hatch– these mini aircraft carriers were still expected to carry their full cargo load on escort missions. Her aircraft, mounted on the cat for a single-use launch, was a decrepit “Sea Hurricane Mk. IA,” an aircraft essentially on its last legs and otherwise unfit for further front-line service but still flyable enough to take on a slow and relatively lightly armed Condor in a one-on-one dogfight.

Modified by General Aircraft Limited to be carried by CAM ships, these Sea Hurricanes, typically referred to as Hurricats or Catafighters, were given more than 80 modifications including an easily removable canopy (as the pilot likely had to ditch at sea), a 44-gallon overflow fuel tank to extend the plane’s range (which might make it able to reach shore) and an on-board rapidly deployable dinghy for logical reasons. About 50 such Hurricanes were converted, assigned to the RAF’s purpose-formed Merchant Ship Fighter Unit, and manned by volunteers.

The catapult was angled to starboard over the bow, both to prevent the blast from its rockets smoking the superstructure, and to reduce the risk of the pilot being overtaken by the ship, should the Hurricat wind up ditching on launch.
One of the pilots assigned to Daghestan during her CAM service, Alec Lumsden, reportedly told his son that “his back was never the same” after being catapult certified.

Between August 1941 and August 1942, Daghestan shipped out on at least seven Atlantic convoys as a CAM ship, often with similarly equipped vessels to help share the load.
While she did not have to launch her Hurricat, at least nine combat launches from other CAM ships took place during the conflict, resulting in nine downed German aircraft, thus proving the concept. When it came to the Hurricats themselves, eight of the nine launched ditched at sea, with seven pilots recovered alive. The ninth aircraft, on a Murmansk convoy, was close enough to Russia to make shore– after splashing two He 111s out of Norway.

Regardless, with the increased use of escort carriers, the CAM project was phased out by 1943, leaving Daghestan and her fellow Hurricat-carrying partners to land their catapults and bid the RAF goodbye. She went on to pull at least another seven convoys with just her guns for protection by October 1943, but that doesn’t mean she was done with aviation.

Igor I. Sikorsky’s attempts to create a practical helicopter got a big boost from the Army in December 1940 when they gave him $50,000 for his XR-4 concept aircraft, itself a development of his earlier VS-300. The helicopter first flew on 14 January 1942, with Sikorsky chief test pilot Les Morris at the controls. The first production aircraft, 41-18874, was adopted by the Army in May 1942.

The Sikorsky R-4 was a two-seat helicopter designed by Igor Sikorsky with a single, three-bladed main rotor and powered by a radial engine. The R-4 was the world's first large-scale mass-produced helicopter and the first helicopter used by the United States Army Air Forces, the United States Navy, the United States Coast Guard and the United Kingdom's Royal Air Force and Royal Navy. In U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard service, the helicopter was known as the Sikorsky HNS-1. (In British service, it was known as the Hoverfly.) The R-4 began as the VS-316, which was developed from the famous experimental VS-300 helicopter, invented by Igor Sikorsky and publicly demonstrated in 1940. The VS-316 was designated the XR-4 under the United States Army Air Forces' series for "Rotorcraft" and is the aircraft the army is proudly showing off in this 1942 film. The XR-4 first flew on 14 January 1942 and was accepted by the Army on 30 May 1942. The XR-4 exceeded all the previous helicopter endurance, altitude and airspeed records that had been set before it. The XR-4 completed a 761-mile (1,225 km) cross-country flight from Connecticut to Wright Field, Ohio, set a service ceiling record of 12,000 feet (3,700 m), while achieving 100 flight hours without a major incident and an airspeed approaching 90 mph (140 km/h).

By 1943, more advanced versions of the R-4 were fielded, and the aircraft was theorized to be able to carry small bombs or casualty litters.
The U.S. Navy accepted its first helicopter on 16 October 1943, a Sikorsky YR-4B (HNS-1) at Bridgeport, Connecticut, following a 60-minute test flight by U.S. Coast Guard LCDR Frank A. Erickson.

Soon, floats were fitted to make the eggbeater amphibious, leading to tests from the decks of the hastily converted freighter SS Bunker Hill and the troopship USS James Parker. From there, the Coast Guard and Navy ordered a trio of YR-4Bs while the Royal Navy signed on for seven. In the end, the Navy would up this to a full 20 aircraft, designating it the HNS-1 (Helicopter, Navy, Sikorsky, model 1) while the British Fleet Air Arm, in conjunction with the RAF, would eventually buy 45.
The first British ship to operate them was the humble Daghestan.
Coast Guard LCDR Frank A. Erickson, an unsung aviation pioneer, trained at Sikorsky Aircraft Company’s plant at Bridgeport then by November 1943 was aboard Daghestan, which was anchored in Long Island as a floating testbed for the YR-4 series. With her bow catapult long removed, she now carried a stern helicopter pad.

Note, she now has four elevated gun tubs as her two original stern tubs were replaced by the landing pad. Photograph received in January 1944 but was likely taken in late 1943. 80-G-159947

In all, Erickson would conduct shipboard trials with the R-4 while eventually training 102 helicopter pilots and 225 mechanics, including personnel from the Army Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard, and the British Army, Royal Air Force, and Navy.

He also made history on 3 January 1944 when he rushed much-needed plasma by helicopter from Battery Park to a hospital in Sandy Hook through a severe winter storm. The plasma, used to treat injured sailors from the damaged destroyer USS Turner (DD-648), was a literal lifesaver.

MV Daghestan - 14 - BuNo 46445 takes off from a platform constructed on board the British MV, Daghestan.

As for MV Daghestan, she solidified her place in naval lore when she left New York in convoy HX 274 on 6 January 1944, headed to Liverpool, with two Royal Navy-manned R-4s aboard, ready to fight. Daghestan’s choppers were fitted with floats and believed to have flown convoy-protection trials from the ship during the voyage.


MV Daghestan - 15 - Note the two R-4s on her stern. This is during the Jan 6-22 convoy to the UK, the first with helicopter support. Her platform looks to have been greatly extended to support the embarked airwing.

The trials must have been successful as the Brits soon deployed other R-4s, dubbed Hoverfly Is, with the escort carrier HMS Thane (D48) at the end of December 1944.
In the meantime, MV Daghestan was back to her more traditional convoy runs, sans choppers. Typically carrying Canadian wheat/grain/flour and mail, she crossed the Atlantic at least 18 times headed West to Britain, and then returned back east again with largely empty holds.
Sold in 1957 to Asimarfield Shipping Corporation of Monrovia, she left her Red Duster behind for a Liberian flag as MV Annefield for another decade of service.
On 21 February 1969, MV Annefield was delivered to Isaac Manuel Davalillo in Castellon, Spain, where demolition began in May.

BREAKING. Israeli Special Forces Storm Al-Shifa Hospital.
Early Wednesday, Tel Aviv time, Israeli Special Operations forces began an assault on Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza.

Al-Shifa Hospital has been the subject of a lot of discussion in the past few days as Israel tightened its cordon around Hamas strongpoints in North Gaza.


https://twitter.com/FT/status/1724531425951514871?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1724531425951514871%7Ctwgr%5E77085b607926047e81860885e11c9f6500740bef%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fredstate.com%2Fstreiff%2F2023%2F11%2F14%2Fbreaking-israeli-special-forces-storm-al-shifa-hospital-n2166361


The hospital and Hamas fortifications inside the compound and underground are believed to contain many of the hostages taken on October 7-8.
While Hamas has maintained that Al-Shifa is strictly civilian, Israel and other nations have concluded that the hospital covers an extensive Hamas underground facility.
‘The White House said on Tuesday the U.S. has intelligence that shows Hamas has used hospitals in Gaza, including the Al-Shifa Hospital, "to conceal and to support their military operations and to hold hostages."
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby made the announcement on Air Force One while traveling with President Joe Biden to the APEC summit in San Francisco.
It appears to be the first time the U.S. has revealed specific intelligence about how and where it says Hamas has held Israelis and Americans kidnapped when the group, designated by the U.S. as a terrorist organization, attacked Israel on Oct. 7.
"I can confirm for you that we have information that Hamas, and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, used some hospitals in the Gaza Strip, including Al-Shifa, and tunnels underneath them, to conceal and to support their military operations and to hold hostages," he told reporters.’
The attack was preceded by an Israeli warning to hospital staff that an assault was imminent.

In this case, it seems that both the hospital director and the staff were informed by separate channels, perhaps to prevent involuntary martyrdom.
This warning was validated by no less than Hamas. A Hamas commander located inside the totally civilian hospital texted a reporter to tell him that attack was imminent.

Before the attack, Egyptian medical personnel used IDF equipment to evacuate critical patients.



https://twitter.com/academic_la/status/1724585383680499785?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1724585383680499785%7Ctwgr%5E77085b607926047e81860885e11c9f6500740bef%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fredstate.com%2Fstreiff%2F2023%2F11%2F14%2Fbreaking-israeli-special-forces-storm-al-shifa-hospital-n2166361

I'm making that point because it demonstrates that, contrary to much of what is said in the media, Israel is following procedures required by the Geneva Conventions to minimize risk to civilians. For an in-depth discussion of those requirements and Israel's procedures that have been deemed the "gold standard" by international legal experts, read ‘The Israeli Bombing of the Jabalia Refugee Camp Was Another Hamas War Crime.’
Al-Shifa is a sprawling complex built by Israel in the early 1980s. When building the hospital, underground operating theaters and a tunnel network were designed in.
The Israelis are so sure about the location of the Hamas bunker, however, not because they are trying to score propaganda points, or because it has been repeatedly mentioned in passing by Western reporters—but because they built it. Back in 1983, when Israel still ruled Gaza, they built a secure underground operating room and tunnel network beneath Shifa hospital—which is one among several reasons why Israeli security sources are so sure that there is a main Hamas command bunker in or around the large cement basement beneath the area of Building 2 of the Hospital, which reporters are obviously prohibited from entering.
