Firing thousands of rockets into Israeli cities targeting innocent civilians? That's similar to the AI plane hijacking where the terrorists demanded that the Indian government release 3 terrorists in Indian jails or they'll kill all the civilians on board the plane. You sympathise with the hijackers too?
You are giving wrong example and there is no comparsion between Pakistan backed terrorists and Hizbullah . India doesnt hold 11,000 prisoners nor occupying others land nor India is having the the highest numbers of UN resolutions condemning it .
The problem here is not some much the lack of RADAR but the ability to intercept and warn of incoming rockets/shells etc. In the recent incident above, the rockets were fired from just a couple of kilometres away and would have been on the ground in seconds. The LOC is so huge you would also need to site them overlapping and then have the communications to warn the populace..A massive task indeed. At the moment, Intelligence and vigilance are your weapons and you must use them to your full advantage.
I think Government is already working on it .
If There would be retaliation from ours side then the so called War on terror would be lost . And Militants wants this only that India and pakistan should wage a war which can reduce tension from them . I dont think that America and Nato would like to see this retaliation either .
Dave, as far as BSF Inspector Hameet singh is concerned, they yet to acertain the range from which this rockets have been fired. Under such circumstances, despite obdiently approching Pakistani Authorities, they simply choose to up their hand by brushing aside any of their involvement. To intercept or to keep vigil, we can certainly use Radars meant for searching the launching side of Rockets or artillery shells as one part of the vigilance. Because, Taliban in Pakistan do carry long range Rockets in the range of 10 to 20km and they are effectively using their tactics of Hit and run, so despite tracking of their launching site, I don't think, then only we would be able to do anything rather then choose to fire in indiscriminate manner.
I-G, I am very sorry to say, this wasn't a Policy ever followed by a nation like India. Since, we cannot do a bargain for the borrowed problems of others. Just because they are fighting on NWFP, it doesn't mean that they will let all other Terror outfit to squander on eastern border. It is only a matter of identification of real culprit, if we manage to do the same then we can certainly go for a retaliation. Case in point is repeated exchange of fire on LOC by BSF.
I know what u mean ,We have to retaliate against such attacks and we all know that pakistan is giving excuses . Do u think we should wage a full scale war with Pakistan at this moment ?
I was saying that only that any retaliation from ours side would change things on ground . Wait ,watch and prepare policy is the best now .
ABM isn't an answer. Rather radar can do the job and identify the location from this Pakistanis are firing the rocket indiscriminatly.
Above articles conveying happenings of Rocket firing doesn't indicate that there was a firing of Rocket propelled grande. At the same time, according BSF Inspector, it is yet to acertain from what range the rockets were fired. If there as Rocket proplled grande firing then certainly somebody may have done so from higher terrain which makes positions of real culprit identifiable, but sadly that wasn't a case.
That is useless to fire such rocket, rather it may get lives of innocent people living across the border. First and formost need is to identify the target and then accordingly take necessary action, since Terror outfits are having a free run in Pakistan and hence it is of no point to show undue aggression.
The problem is you don't know from which direction or from how long it has been fired. What we will do when there is no way to identify the target??. Should we say, we didn't identify the target and so we cannot do anything. That is nothing but pusillanimity in the barrage of rockets fired on our country.
