Opening fire as soon as you see them is not a correct action when attempting to recover firearms from Naxals.
Standard tactical procedure involves assessing the situation (distance, strength, weapons) before initiating contact or opening fire. Immediate, unassessed opening of fire is generally reckless and may jeopardize the mission (like recovering firearms) or the safety of the personnel.
Tactical planning prior to engaging with insurgents or criminals involves careful assessment of the threat, environment, and objectives. Actions like assessing distance, observing enemy weapons, and estimating their strength are crucial for deciding the course of action, which could range from surveillance, maneuver, or engaging with appropriate force.
