A Japanese magazine has questioned the Indian claim of surgical strikes on Pakistani territory, saying New Delhi does not have the capacity to do so.

According to ‘The Diplomat magazine’, a surgical strike operation begs the question of whether Indian forces have the capability to launch such a sophisticated and coordinated attack.

It also raised doubts on India’s airborne, artillery based precision-guided strikes, or ground force based assaults.

The Magazine writes that much of India’s asymmetrical warfare capability is still being tested and is not fully developed.

It observers that a cross-border air raid by India would still prove exceedingly difficult as Pakistan has an incredibly impressive air defence system.
