Cost of one awacs can buy minimum 2 rafales

Very successful operation, cost of diplomatic messaging is just 3 jets. 

Other option would be to take out their AD first and then launch strikes, but then it would no longer be anti terrorist mission.

Strategic win, well executed mission, also settled score of Abhinandan jet loss.

Lot of anger among PAF due to losses, all our air bases have to be alert possibility of attacks by sleeper cells.
