Army had to use old weapons for surgical strikes: Report
Special forces had to carry out the "surgical strikes" with old weapons because of a delay in the procurement of new weapons, an Indian Express report said. Reportedly, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar had ordered modernisation of weapons worth ₹180 crore on a "fast-track basis" in June 2015. Surgical strikes were carried out across the LoC to destroy terror pads.
