Looks similar to one of their previous attacks where they ambushed an army truck coming at high speeds and just uploaded the video.

But this does raises questions on the security forces deployed there. Is it that difficult to eliminate a few pigs in a single location for years?
Very easy to run away if ur ambushing party is small and well coordinated and very easy to hide. Keep in mind they are hybrid locals, not ssg like army copers like to claim.

Small team tactics, possibly better equipment, counter to counter measures deployed, effective network of OGWs, lesser troops means more gaps, and lack of intelligence to the army from locals

If winning hearts of a jihadi population is the strategy... then sorry we are in a losing fight.

How you are going to win hearts? By providing all kinds of free amenities... & let's assume situation comes under control for a period of let's say 10 yrs... the freebies won't continue after a certain period of peace... & the Jihadi population will be back to its antics.

We are moving in an endless loop.

Failed in Vietnam for the Americunts.
What does work is carrot and stick.
The carrots are given, stick is missing.

Uskey liye Artillery guns chahiye by the thousands

& honestly tube Artillery is one of "cheapest" form of firepower... the need is in 1000s

It has been a yr since DAC cleared 307 ATAGS & 2 yrs since army moved proposal for 200x more k9... nothing is moving
Indian Army’s prolonged involvement in CI/CT ops in J&K for the last 30+ years is also one of the reasons for our neglect of the Artillery.

This is only applicable pre kargil. With the demonstration of the effectiveness of good arty in kargil it should have gotten the IA going .

Their dynamic needs to be broken for anhillating them, they heavily rely on OGW and jaichand types' help.

This suits their operating style, short bursts of intense ambushing and then skeltring like rats (rarely needing intrasquad comms), utilizing encrypted UHF radio sets for sending messages/voice transmission to their local OGW once at a time. Their dynamic can be broken with just one breakthrough.
