They planned the ambush very meticulously to inflict maximum damage. The team split up into three units. The first took charge of the firing, the second planted the landmines and the job of the last unit was to put up hurdles in order to stop the vehicles. Pradeep was part of the firing squad. As there was not enough time to bury the mines, they simply placed the landmines on the road. But somehow the mines did not go off. Pradeep and others then started firing at the police party.

India has a huge land mass and the world’s second largest population. Israel is a tiny country with a population of just 8 million or so. It has no space to trade for time and has therefore developed a highly proactive and aggressive orientation - that is very high-risk and relies upon seizing the strategic and tactical initiative at the very outset of the conflict. In sharp contrast to Israel, India’s response to Pakistan’s asymmetric adventurism has been very weak, timid and reactive. India has tamely surrendered the strategic and tactical initiative to a much weaker Pakistan for the last three decades. India must emulate Israel and try and generate an overmatching technological military edge over its likely adversaries. It will have to field dominant war fighting capabilities that would severely raise costs for Pakistan. In specific, India will have to invest heavily in airpower, precision guided munitions (PGMs), firepower resources and transparency capabilities.
