so 4 ambushes is your limit.

and what happens when paki jihadi ecosystem make a policy to enforce 4 ambushes by throwing as much resources as they can, to induce change in command when ever they are feeling the heat in a sector?
4 ambushes is not my limit for simply firing the COAS. 4 ambushes is my limit for change to happen. What exactly has changed? An attack like the Poonch ambush on 21st happened in april and then again in October (this one failed). Have any APCs been procured?

Accountability is a must, people must be held accountable for their actions or inactions or else you will end with such cases again and again.

The dumbfounding fact of the matter is that this is the 4th or the 5th time similar type of attack has taken place in the same region because of which a large number of soldiers were lost and nothing was done about it.

In the US Army, such mistakes would lead to the entire chain of command getting kicked out of their service.
that is for court of inquiry and IA chain of command to decide.

as far as this conversation in this thread goes, why should i not assume the these ideas are being pushed in to the social media discourse by external enemies of the state, and our chaps are riding the wave without realising it. the wishlist that is being propagated here, the way i see it is more advantageous to the adversaries than us. which adversary does not what the target state to be vulnerable during leadership change? both our direct adversaries are not democracies, one is a theological security state and the other is a communist state.

as far as U.S army is concerned, i don't have any data on this subject. if you have it, we can take it up in another thread.

why should the change happen as per your wish list, it is for chain of command to decide. you do not have the entire info, except for what is there on social media like the rest of us.

information that is coming from foreign owned social media platforms, at a individual level is it not a crucial point to ponder on?

if the chap goes on the same rhetoric cycle, every few weeks, i am the one demonstrating patience and understanding here.

pages and pages of rhetoric does not help either.

sure, could be. what happens when the enemy develops counter tactics to beat such a system in the future !!!

here my point is not on what IA should do or should not do, they are the experts they know better.
my point is that, observers need to realise that whenever there are tactics, there will be counter tactics by the enemy. in our case, intent of paki establishment has not changed.

and on a side note, look up nirvana fallacy.

Time & again , it's also been pointed out by these very same anonymous twitter handles that the grid in that sector has been weakened courtesy redeployment of troops across the LAC. Somehow we didn't see such incidents before 2021 .

we don't know how many more decades Indian public has to suffer from the premise of standard journalistic bias that "state is always wrong".

October 2021. Two ambushes happened. One was a tent attack the other was an attack on a patrol.

Who did that ambush? PAFF?

How many men did we lose? 9!

9 men lost in two ambushes!

That alone should’ve resulted in operational change at the command level. No more LRPs in daylight and no more tent posting in unsanitized areas! Instead, operate in Night time. It’s time IA gets nvgs. It’s 2023 and the IA is waiting for first light to attack. Why? The militants are ambushing and getting away scott free!

What happened in 2023?

One tent attack in August in Kulgam

4/7 ambushes were ambushes on patrols and assault parties. Including SF parties.

If anything done at all, this is total PR disaster. While China released many videos. We even honoured our soldiers based on vjdeos released by China. Shame. Same like Balakot-Abhinandan episode.

The way Modiji's PR is handled by BJP, they are not for oir soldier's bravery.
Legend says that GOI has 1.5 TB of Chinese humiliation videos.. bigger than my stash of porn from my college days..
