As of July 13, neither the Indian authorities nor the Indian military have responded to this incident where the Indian armed forces conducted a cross-border raid into Myanmar. According to reports, the operation was carried out in close coordination with the Myanmar military. The Myanmar authorities and the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar armed forces, Min Aung Hlaing, will not oppose the Indian military's cross-border raid. India and Myanmar have an agreement for cross-border strikes against domestic rebels who cross the border. However, it is indeed impressive that India has achieved "punish even those far away" this time.
For India, although it cannot beat the Pakistani army, it definitely has a system when it comes to striking neighboring countries: In 2019, the Indian army crossed into Myanmar with thousands of troops and conducted a one-month cleanup of Indian rebels within Myanmar. In 2003, the Bhutan Royal Army and the Indian Army collaborated to conduct similar cross-border raids on militant camps in Bhutan.
An interesting phenomenon, during the India-Pakistan conflict on May 7, the Indian military also extensively used Israeli-made suicide drones, and not some high-end products, but just weapons of the same level as the Iranian "mopeds" launched by the Russian army. This kind of weapon. Even drones of the same level as the ones that both Russia and Ukraine can make themselves, India cannot produce them on its own. India's defense industry has too many debts.
The Indian-Myanmar border is defended by the Assam Rifles. Currently, the Assam Rifles are under the command of the Indian Army's Eastern Command's 3rd Army. Faced with the chaos of the Myanmar civil war, the Indian authorities have remained in an observing attitude, providing limited support to the Myanmar government forces, not much, only some Indian-made artillery shells, Indian second-hand Kilo-class submarines, Indian-made lightweight torpedoes, some important weapons and equipment, even retired weapons, are refused to be handed over to the Myanmar government forces. At present, India plans to build a large number of border barbed wire fences between India and Myanmar, but due to opposition from Indians themselves, the progress is slow.
