UAV was airborne for almost 15+ hours but unable to pinpoint terrorists (again).
We really need high-end surveillance like MQ-9Bs as soon as possible.
Ok before bashing army on why we can't prevent these kind of attack I will explain current intelligence grid outline we employed in j&k and counter intelligence grid isi sponsoring to inbreeding terrorists,
Current Intelligence grid :
First all kinds of communication (2g, 3g, 4g , Bord and, optical, stalite internet currently monitored by some 2 letter agency under IB and army) for example if a over ground worker messages or POI ( person of interest) or recives message on any popular messaging apps they directly intercepted by deep packet analyzers ( gift from our Israeli friends) second we have tone of data points on literally all j&k civilians, a filed analyst can predict converted jihadis Kashmiri girlfriend's mood swings, ( bit exaggerated by me) , this is the reason you see people who acted as guide or scouts for jihadis getting VIP treatment in RR interrogation site then send to meet their pedophile loving God, yes the filed infantry look like straight out of 90 war movie our intelligence gathering apparatus is cutting edge,
Counter intelligence employed by ISI sock puppets
They know full spectrum Intelligence gathering happening so they use meshstatic ( google it) decentralized network which is hard to jamm and trace back because these nodes can work under sub 900mhz rf range and all most all normal rf device's ( emergency responders radio's weather station repeaters, etc) works in this spectrum, they are easy to procure and so cheap, each can powered by single lithium ion battery with small solar panels ( 10x15 cm) can last for years, so procure these meshstatic nodes in numbers which can used as relay staions and end nodes, even when security agencies found one node the communication through channel is aesa encrypted, which is practically impossible to decrypt, signal triangulation won't work because so many stray rf sources also functional in same frequency range, thus jihadis get monitoring free network through out Peerpnjal section ( 30x 60 km), then they pop up and attack civilians or army party after that disappear in to local population ditching weapons certain cache points
This is a very brief situation currently happening on j&k in technical side but there are so many other things which I omitted, like u need solid proof to initiate surveillance on POI or OGW, no permission to call people related to converted jihadis for questing ( women's), more over our own so called human right layers laying red carpet if one OGW get Onborded or put in to programs, the uav surveillance not to track escaped jihadis it is to avoid ambush or traps, because army very well know after attack the jihadi scums not in forest but among civilians,
Ps: all above assumptions is totally my imaginative creation you can consider it as information or avoid as just another trash post,
