2. SPICE 2k has excellent standoff range (~60 km, 100km for Spice 1k) ideal for a mission like this, where ingress profile would not allow for weapon release under max range conditions... https://t.co/Nu8W3DPBV7

Both true: 1. Modi’s response to Pulwama attack is much stronger than Manmohan Singh’s to 2008 Mumbai attacks. 2. India’s restraint in 2008 helps it sell its post-Pulwama response. On the world stage, MMS earned India moral capital that Modi is now spending. #IndiaStrikesPakistan
