In my view, CO went to meet someone on his own initiative leaving behind his security. Got misled into a trap.

What was the Information & who led him into the trap should be investigated. Most probably an OGW invited him for talks.

कुत्ते की मौत मारा गया हिजबुल कमांडर रियाज़ नाइकू। चुन चुन कर बदला लिया जा रहा है। सुन लो पाकिस्तान हर शहादत का बदला लेगा हिंदुस्तान। भारतीय सेना को दिल से सलाम, शहीदों को वंदन !! #Pulwama #RiyazNaikoo

Wow never remember such words being used for terrorists by Indian media.

My reply was for your assumed theory Apache attacking when troopers are in house or surrounded.
Also no need to compare with Apache usage in Afghanistan because IAF will never use them to their potential also Apache is bought by IAF for air shows and land on crops of farmers
I presume what you said that 'the Apache is bought by IAF for air shows and land on crops of farmers' was with a tinge of sarcasm.

Firstly, Apaches are very expensive toys that were acquired NOT for CI/CT ops in Kashmir.

Secondly, the Apaches will enhance the capability of IAF in providing integrated combat aviation cover to the army strike corps/IBGs

Thirdly, Apaches acquired by the Army will be fully integrated with the IBGs on the Western border. They would be in support/under command of the strike corps in the Eastern Sector too.

Fourthly, these attack choppers will not be used for close air support (CAS) in CI ops in the Valley. However, they could be employed to boost the capabilities of the IAF for conducting cross-border ops integrated with fighter strike packages, on strategic targets.

Considering the role envisioned for them; how many Apaches do you think would be adequate for India's needs (on both borders)? Will the Apaches given to the IAF be available immediately as & when Army needs them?

Also, during a major, full-front war; would they be embedded in a mixed fleet with mostly LCH's & Rudras?

First two need asap....

For:

1. CBS in respective Corps Zones. Like Khrew for 15 Corps zone.
2. Infantry School, Mhow with JL Wing, Belgaum, and CIJWS, Vairengte
3. MCTE, Mhow


The problem with #3 is that the political leadership in India is so scared of the forces that by design forces' are curtailed from operating in this domain. Every Corps has equipment that is capable of monitoring every kind of electronic data being created.

Even units along LC have interceptors, used routinely to monitor communications by mobile, satellite phones...
