India alleges drones breaching its airspace

[divya]

mate its been happening for the past 3 years and what were we waiting for?

Right time when there is no such big change happening.

 

[SATISH]

Its a drone..thats all....there are no lives involved...and now is the right time

What India needs to defend from UAV are EMP weapons. An EMP pulse disabled electronics of the UAV and down it goes. No missiles fired, no fighters jets need to be scrambled.

But we are still a long way from having portable directed beam EMP weapons.

Dont know heard about KALI and DURGA sometime back. But dont know what is the progress for that.

 

[SATISH]

KALI and Durga need really high power to operate. Its more like the Electromagnetic rail gun.

Even strong laser can do the same,USA has tested one recently. Israelis are also working on this.

wont serve any diplomatic purpose apart from escalting tensions and giving world a image of trigger happy nation.

There have been ceasefire violations ( cover for infiltration) along INDO-Pak LOC, which continue to. We lost men, they didn't. We took this up with through the right channels. Did it work. No. Tensions have been high since partition. Its time we send a strong message across.

Drones are slow flying objects.

Shooting down is the answer and it will also give adequate live fire practice to the Indian AD crew.

Killing two birds with one stone!

Pakistan uses UAVS to collect Intel on Indian troops and border patrol movements to establish a safe passage to terrorists who are waiting to infiltrate into India.

Aint the atlantique incident created a lot of hoopla at the international level in UN. We are trying for the UNSC seat this aint a time to give someone points to get cheap scores in a platter. As the drone will be shot down next day we will hear a conspiracy that it was shot down in Pak airspace as once shot it will be bound to fall some in Indian and some in Pakistani airspace just like Atlantique incident. So we need to very cautious about these issues. World also knows we are not saints either. Let us convince the world first then go with all our guns blazing.

I also don't think that shooting drones and UAV is a good idea because they are meant for it that enemy shoot it and they can know the status of our air defense. Instead of shooting we can use another alternative that start sending our UAV to chinese airspace to give an slight violation of LAC. As chinese UAVs are continuously violating our airspace then if china raise this issue then we can give their words back to them that this is normal thing and happened accidently in the same way as your UAVs has done.

This would definitely raise tension but not that much because world china has doing the same and if he shoot indian UAV then India can get a change to shoot all UAVs from Chinese side while incursion on indian airfield. Use their strategy on themselves.

 

[The Messiah]

Im sure divya herself will stop stranger from entering her house or will she let anyone enter her house without saying anything ??

 

[neo29]

Now this is a matter of concern. Were our SAM's not working or we did not have guts to shoot ?????????

 

[IBM]

why complaing like eunich( chakkeee). Shot those bloodddy drones. or they will prove wikileakes documents right that Indian army is lazy and etc etc.

Many of our air defense units are mobile ones. specially those near the border . If we shoot any plane it will never disclose our location. specially during peace time revealing locations will not be a great security threat . We are not doing it because they can also resort to shooting down our spy planes. Pakistanis may not be able to do so but chinese can surely do it.

If it was a Indian drone entering into Paki airspace definintely they'll shoot it down... As they don't wait for their politicians to give green signal to go ahead and shoot it down..

In our case its totally different.. Defense personal has to answer the politicians after shooting down and our SKILLED AND TALENTED politicians will fire them in turn...

 

[Kunal Biswas]

UAV on both sides enter each other airspace on regular basias..

Its a regular thing as both sides know what other will see..

But their are areas where UAVs cant be allowed..

In these cases Indian AD usually use AAA to bring them down..

Before induction of UAV in PA, PA used birds with mounted cameras, these Air-incursion were done specifically over arty/mortar emplacements..




Regarding India, India also do recce by UAVs but from inside its border..

Our UAVs hardly cross into Enemy Airspace..

Regarding the searcher loss over Pakistan, the flight CO was a Israeli instructor..

when the govt can't even discuss Brahmaputra water theft with the Chinese premier do you think they can ever do something like this?? Highly doubtful.
