It is our MoD and MHA, Poor WW2 training, shitty equipments, boomer culture in military and police. Armed Rustom-1 or even swarm drones showcased by army can wipe them out everyday or surprise strikes. Its a shame that they operate for decades in our own soil and that to hundreds of kilometres far from any nearby international border.
Not just surprise air strike... If survailance drones used properly jawans can be informed well before they are ambushed . Not just camera.. heat seeking device , movement detector can be attached .
I dnt think technology is used to full extent . These maoists are local people . They knw terrain . Local people give them infos out of fear ... Maoists even send fresh fish , chicken to certain police stations for the infos to keep coming or directly threatens them..... Its nt a fair fight ..
And I feel maoists shd be treated like any other terrorist in kashmir . There are lots of sympathy for them in system due to liberal arts education graduates from some noterious universities occupy many top posts ..
