🇮🇳🌪️OPERATION BLACK TORNADO (2008) During the horrific Mumbai attacks, RAW provided intelligence support to the National Security Guard (NSG) to rescue hostages and neutralise terrorists, ultimately minimising casualties and bringing the crisis to an end. 9/11

🚨 INDIA’S ANSWER TO THE CIA 🇮🇳 India’s R&AW pulled off some of the most INSANE covert ops in history — the kind you’d think were FICTION. Here’s a breakdown of them: 🧵👇

🇮🇳☢️OPERATION SMILING BUDDHA (1974) RAW lowkey helped India test its 1st NUCLEAR bomb without the world (or the CIA) noticing. 🙂 The mission was so smooth, they called it Smiling Buddha. 💥 Peaceful name, explosive outcome. 2/11

🇮🇳🇵🇰 OPERATION MEGHDOOT (1984) RAW helped the Indian Army take over the Siachen Glacier in Ladakh — before Pakistan even knew what hit ‘em. 🏔️Ice-cold move (literally) to secure one of the most strategic spots in the Himalayas. 3/11

🇮🇳⭐ OPERATION BLUE STAR (1984) RAW fed crucial intel to the Indian Army during the high-stakes mission to flush out Sikh militants (Khalistanis) from the Golden Temple in Amritsar (Punjab). Plot twist? Ajit Doval (now India’s NSA) went inside disguised as an 🇵🇰 ISI agent. 4/11

🚨🇮🇳 OPERATION WOODROSE (1984) Right after Blue Star, RAW went full crackdown mode in Punjab — secretly targeting Sikh separatists before insurgency could explode. 🛡️ Lowkey brutal — but it was all about safeguarding India’s sovereignty. 5/11

🇮🇳🌵 OPERATION CACTUS (1988) When Maldivian businessman Luthufi hired Tamil mercs to stage a coup, RAW said: Not today. Indian troops landed, crushed the coup, and dipped before the world even processed it. 🔥 Geopolitical giga-chad moment. 6/11

🇮🇳♟️ OPERATION CHANAKYA (1990s) RAW went full 4D chess in Kashmir — infiltrated ISI-backed militants, wrecked their funding ops, and ghosted out. RAW didn’t just fight the enemy… it became their shadow. 7/11

🇮🇳⚔️🇵🇰 OPERATION VIJAY (1999) During the Kargil War, RAW’s intelligence was crucial for Indian forces to identify enemy positions, enabling the army to reclaim strategic peaks held by Pakistani forces. 8/11

🇮🇳🇵🇰 OPERATION CHAKRAVYUH (2016) After the deadly Uri attack that killed 18 Indian soldiers, India launched Operation Chakravyuh. RAW played a key role in gathering intelligence to identify terrorist launch pads along the Line of Control (LoC) in Pakistan-controlled part of Kashmir. 10/11

🇮🇳💪 OPERATION BANDAR (2019) RAW led the successful Balakot Airstrikes on training camps of Jaish-e-Mohammad* in Balakot (Pakistan). 🔥Biggest flex? Zero casualties on India’s side. RAW didn’t bark. It bit. * banned terror outfit 11/11

Thousands injured in Lebanon, death toll rising. Send Humanitarian aid now with IRUSA

The arrival of the NSG was much delayed by bureaucratic and political bungling. The thing is in the public domain! Disgusting!

This is BS. GOI then, khangres did nothing to stop Mumbai attack in 2008. All hotels in Delhi were full, emptied in just next two days. Economy took a dip, all hotels list millions of dollars forex.

@grok wouldnt the attack itself count as a failure on RAW’s behalf?

It needs special talent to spin 2008's intelligence failure as success

@grok isn’t mumbai a horrible failure of intelligence agencies ? How’s this operation being shown as a success to be proud of ?
