Search and destroy them all :
Someone said that villages were empty, then who saw this? I'm confused. Can someone post how do naxals operate? And how are they get so many KIAs with low quality resources. And how do they train ?
How they maintain there stocks and supplies ?

Sorry for posing such noob question.

Many times naxals are backed by local villagers....One naxal with lmg was firing continuously from a house in the village...They also used tractor from the village to carry their casualties .

If any such villager choses this vermin path , then he ceases his right of life immediately.

It can happen gurrila war . They knw terrain and have hold over local people , and many in administration/police pass infos . Maoist ideology has some hold over top levels as well . When design ur own battle field and surprise ur enemy u can get many KIA even with bow and arrow . Only difference that cn be brought in such scenario is immediate air fire power whn called upon .

Regarding ammunition follow below article

The ambush lasted more than 3 hour enough time to areial reinforcement, UAV recon and Close air support but CRPF does not have anything of that sorts.

Kahe ka aerial support, apne politician ask you to fight this war with one hand tied.
But one thing article in economic times state the mastermind of this attack took guerrilla training in Phillipines.

CAS is out of question because even IA doesn’t use CAS in COIN.

as far as recon goes, how will they recognise in all this melee which group is which? given the current strategy of anti-naxal ops is to fight like a guerrilla.

Keep in mind this ambush would have easy been spread over 1-2 sq km, if the numbers involved on both sides being reported are legit.

can’t send UAV(including MALE) ahead of the patrol party, if naxals spot a UAV doing circles they would disperse and opportunity lost.

While in Amit Shah's press conference a news channel/paper guy asked if will there be talks with Naxals but he didn't reply to any questions.

Government also provides money to them for the weapons they surrender.
View attachment 84009

Govt. tried these tactics in Assam to its utter failure.

Surrendered ULFA cadre were called SULFA(Surrendered ULFA).

Each surrendered ULFA militant got Rs. 2-5 lakhs in cash, a Maruti Omni van and one/two armed guards.

They became a bigger pest than the ULFA militants. Their M.O. was simple - extort money from every businessman, rig tenders etc.

SULFA and ULFA would often have run ins and exchange friendly fire sometimes resulting in fatalities but they tried their best not to encroach into the other's turf.

SULFA had Govt. patronage, including access to MI.

It was a well greased engine and was running at top RPM till Vajpayee & Co. decided enough is enough and launched Operation All Clear. ULFA was reduced to nuisance value there after. North East became a lot more habitable after that.

All passenger trains enroute Assam would stop at the Bengal-Assam border after 4 pm. Such was the fear of derailments caused by bombs planted on rail tracks by Bodoland & ULFA militants.

Punjab militancy would not have been wiped out without strong arm tactics. It caused collateral damage but it ended most of the bloodshed decisively.

What started as resumption of CASO in Kashmir with the appointment of Gen. Rawat, ended with the revocation of Article 370.
Other than some high profile attacks, incidents of nuisance value such as stone pelting etc is down drastically, so is the recruitment of local militants.

The Naxal menace has run more than its amusing course. It is high time GoI feels its manhood and does what a bully with the might of the entire state at its disposal should do.

Exterminate.

Underground, overground makes no difference. There are many from the legal fraternity, press, politics and judiciary who are sympathetic to the Naxal cause and don't wince when Naxals run a parallel government and legal system, kill or rape anyone by accusing them of being police informers.

Idk isn't the whole point of modern warfare including guerilla is to be aware of enemies whereabouts firsthand?
Maybe tracking your enemy is more beneficial than not knowing the positions of their enemies at all?
If we take your argument than aren't we settling up troops as bait for the maoist?

Situational awareness is more beneficial than not.

They need to change SOP. If two villages were empty that means villagers are in bed with naxals. In this case air power should have called and completely leveled the village. Naxals would be on back foot immediately and fled. Bomb the shit out and let villagers suffer for helping naxals so that next time they won't let naxals use their villages. Also loitering munitions and armed drones should be up in air always. Don't use unless they attack buy naxals will fret when danger is looming on their head.

I am talking about AFTER contact was made and ambush was underway for hours.recon UAV can be useful in those time. And CAS can be given by door Gunners on simple dhruv helicopter you just have to put it on standby.

Looks like Amit Shah threatened Congress with fire and fury, by giving the case to NIA (which could potentially jail many high-profile people); so the Chhattisgarh government is finally showing some action:


In all likelihood, though, I predict the people behind this encounter would have fled to neighboring states such as Maharashtra, Telangana, or Odisha.

Most of the time villagers don't voluntarily choose to help the Maoist
