New Delhi: While speaking to ANI in the national capital on February 26, the former Indian Air Force (IAF) Chief Birender Singh Dhanoa spoke on the first anniversary of Balakot airstrikes. He said, "One year has gone fast and we look back with satisfaction. We have learnt a lot of lessons and a lot of things have been implemented after Balakot operations." He added, "Basically, it is a paradigm shift in the way we conduct our operations. The other side never believed that we could carry out a strike inside Pakistan to take out a terror training camp that we successfully carried out." BS Dhanoa further said, "After Balakot airstrike, there was no major terrorist attack throughout the Indian elections because they were scared that we will respond again in the same manner or even more devastatingly."
