I have not understood your point. What vertical? What kids?

@Kunal Biswas, I was answering on Anti Materiel Rifle and A tank wpns. I am not aware if sandbags in vertical layers have the stopping power. Indeed one has to save our soldiers, but then what is the last word to prevent the weapons that are being used and could be used in the future...

Well I have no idea as to how many vertical layers of sandbags would negate an Anti material/ Anti tank weapon.

NO chance.

If the sentry posts have the same stopping power as the standard sandbag reinforced sentry posts, then the innocuous ones that have been displayed above should be used wherein 'a country under siege' mentality is not showcased, leading to a prolonged fear psychosis. The only issue is that the...

Static defences are not a thing of the past. What they meant was the Siegried Line and the Maginot Line. Siegfried Line Map of the principal fortified section of the Maginot Line The fortification system could taken on direct attacks but it was strategically ineffective. Te Germans invaded...

I would not be able to say about 155, but I had done a trial on mediums as available in 1972. Yes all automatic direct firing weapons, be they in bunkers or in trenches, are so sited that there is mutually supporting. And all dips or folds in the ground that are avoidable by direct firing...

What will be the weight? Which helicopter will be able to lift that weight? And which helicopter can fly at those heights and be stable with weight? I have flown by helicopters at those heights and the herculean effort that is put in by the pilots keep the helicopter level and steady is worth...

The photo appears to be of some high trajectory weapon emplacement since it is round. That apart, Mules cannot climb icewalls.

Concrete bunkers are the norm all over the LC. The material is lugged up, manpack to the heights and construction is done in situ.

Well then we could do a Sri Lanka and ensure the Conservation of fighting force and their moral is essential both in war and peace. I agree with your contention since that is valid, but then if I may clarify and that is that One must realise that the Military is but an instrument of the Govt...

I have not understood the question.

What upgradation of bunkers have you in mind for our posts on the LC? Right now, the fortification allows it to absorb not only direct firing weapons but also medium artillery. What are the Chinese doing? What are the Pakistanis doing? And how are we behind them in upgradation is what I am...

Yes, the troops in the rear area are billeted in areas where there is inhabitants. Yes, the terrorists do use lethal weapons as mentioned by you. Most of such billeting has a defensive layout that is tiered. Notwithstanding, there are concrete emplacements also in the outer tier, even if the...

You are being most considerate and kind in your thought. That is where you make the mistake. You cannot heiidrop a full structure on a pinnacle or even where there is a post since that is in the front line and can be intercepted by fire by the adversary. And counting the number of sorties, it...

Bunkers are made for defences, where combat take place and not for areas where there is a Base. In forward area bases, there are concrete emplacement for defence and normal living quarters. I am sure in Srinagar where terrorists maybe there, you don't expect the JAK LI Centre to be all in...

Re: Indian Army needs Sofisticated Bunkers.. Great. are they being used? or have they not a good agent to bribe their way through?

Re: Indian Army needs Sofisticated Bunkers.. True, but lugging the rations, or cutting wood or many other such activities that requires all the limbs to operate daily does help. We never had gyms before, but the simple PT, medicine balls, beam and rope and the wooden horse kept us in fine...

Re: Indian Army needs Sofisticated Bunkers.. Actually walking up and down the mountains doing routine work is greater than gym activity. So was a good round of basketball or volleyball on the Posts. And what is invigorating is the fresh air and the invigorating and sweet smell of the Pines...

Re: Indian Army needs Sofisticated Bunkers.. It is good that you posted them. One must increase his knowledge. They are great to have, let us say, where there are these posts which are the anti Infiltration posts on the second line.
