Aise kai saare war India aur Pakistan ke bich hotey aaye hai kabhi choti toh kabhi itni badi ki jisne pure itihaas ko badal kar rakh diya ho, usi mein se ek thi operation brasstacks iss operation mein atomic bomb ko lekar India ko alert hona pada tha. Operation brasstacks Bharat ke rajasthan rajya mein bhartiya armed force ka ek important joint hathiyar military practice tha jo November saal 1986 se January saal 1987 tak pakistan ke sima ke paas hua tha. Indian Armed forces ki operational capabilities ko anukaran karne ke liye practice ki ek chain ke hisse ke roop mein kiya ja raha tha. Bharatiya subcontinent par bhartiya forces ka sabse bada aur bahut jaruri gathering tha jisme dono sena ko commands ki joint takat mili thi. Operation brasstacks karne ka sirf do motive tha pahela motive ye tha ki border par sena ko aache se aur jada amount mein tainaat kiya jaaye aur dusra motive ye tha ki bhartiya nausena duwara Pakistan nausainik adde ke paas koi bhi hamle practice ki ek chain ka operation karegi taaki war ke waqt dono taraf se bhartiya sena taiyaar rahe. Bhartiya nausena forces se constituted ek hamla karne wale group ki planning ki gayi thi jisme pakistan mein Karachi division ke korangi creek ke paas tainaat kiya gaya tha. Haalaki iss yudh warning simulation ka sabse important motive tacticals atomic ranniti ka determination karna tha aur iski dekh rekh bhartiya sena kiya karti thi.
Pakistan ki sena ne iss yudh ko maano koi game samjh liya tha usse lag raha tha kyu na duniya ko khaas kar India ko ye dhikhaya jaaye ki uske paas atomic bomb hai sayad isse uska dawaab dusre desho par pade lekin pakistan har baar haar kar bhi kuch sikhta nhi hai. Dusri taraf India ne kaha ki operation brasstacks ka main motive masheeneekaran, gatishilata aur bhartiya sena duwarar taiyaar ki gai hawai sahayta ki nayi concepts ka test karna tha na ki koi yudh karna. Saal 1971 ke India – Pakistan war ke baad Bhartiya sena lambe samay se bhumi based war aur professionalism ke morden concept ki practice karne ki padhai kar rahe the. Saal 1986 December mein apne paschim registaan mein faile 10 hazar se jada armored vehicles ke sath India ne ek vishal military practice ka antim charan shuru kiya jisne sath mein Pakistan ko ek nai tension de daali thi. Writer Robert Art aur bhi kai logo duwara yeh principle diya gaya tha ki brasstacks musibat ek unknown aur casual musibat nhi tha jo Pakistan duwara bade paimaane par Bhartiya sena ke practice ki galat paribhasha ke kaaran hua tha, jo main roop se vishal rajasthan registaan chehtra tak hi simit tha . Iss principle mein General Sundar ji ki ranniti Pakistan ko jawab dene ke liye uksaana tha aur ye India Pakistan ke khilaaf agressive hone aur niwarak hamlo ki ek chain mein apni atomic bomb pariyojanao ko khatam karne ki nayi concepts ko laane ka ek bahana dega.
Saal 1981 mein Osirak mein Iraqi nuclear power plants par Israeli air force ke surprise operation Opera hawai hamle ki safalta ke baad Pakistan military force satark ho gaye the. Nuclear strategist aur theoretically physics professor Munir Ahmad Khan ke yaadon ke hisaab se iss baat ka unko ye bhi darr tha ki India, pakistan par hamla kar sakta hai. Jiske baad Pakistan military force ke commanders ko order diya gaya ki wo apne forces ko sabhi alag alag direction mein ek sath jitni jaldi ho sake aise hamlo ko modne ke liye laamaband kar de. January saal 1987 mein Pakistan ne apne nuclear installations ko high alert par rakh diya tha aur jisse har jagah sankat ka mahol badh gaya tha. Iss dauran Abdul Kaadir Khan ne bhartiya diplomatic, kuldeep nayyar ko ek interview diya jisme unhone clear kar diya ki agar Pakistan apne astitva ko khatre mein daalta hai toh wo apne nuclear hathiyar ka upyog karega lekin baad mein kuldeep ne iss bayaan se inkaar kar diya tha. Islamabad mein Bhartiya diplomatic ne dawa kiya ki unhe warning di gayi thi ki agar hamla hua toh pakistan nuclear hathiyaro ka istemaal karne se nhi dare ga, jiss par pakistan ne bhi inkaar kar diya tha.
Indian army ke hisaab se Brasstacks keval ek practice tha aur isse provocative nhi mana gaya tha iske baad media khaas kar paschim media samil tha aur dushmani mein kisi bhi tarah ki growth ko rokne ke liye intense planning kiya gaya tha. Jo aarop pakistan par lage the ki wo atomic bomb se India ko darana chahta hai usse usne chupi sadh li thi. Ye kahani ho sakhti hai aane waali movie Gadar 2 ki, aapko ye story kaisi lagi comments karke jarur bataiyega aur tab tak aap apna dhiyan rakhiye aur hamesha muskurate rahiye.
