Regarding our Line of Control (LOC) with Pakistan i have a few questions, expect technical & detailed replies...

Why can't India make a no-mans land buffer zone of 1km or more at the LOC. The buffer zone will be deforested, planted with anti- personnel mines, multiple Lines of fencing every 100m or so, and finally a wall like Israel.
We keep hearing terrorists entering Kashmir, hiding in forests, cutting across lines, making tunnels. Will not all this make this impossible for them to penetrate?
I know this may have been thought earlier, but Why no action till date on this? Why don't we have simple solutions to these problems? Why do our men keep dying due to this infiltration. If we cut external engress local terrorists/militancy will starve on their own.

NSG should buy more Renault Sherpa. They fit the NSG perfectly.
NSG-Renault Sherpa, Generic vehicle for undercover.
Kashmir SOG and Police- Mahindra LSV, Armoured Buses.
CRPF- MPV, Mahindra LSV, Armoured Buses, kestrel.
IA- FICV, kestrel, Mahindra LSV, MPV
State Police SF- Mahinda LSV, Armoured Buses,Sherpa.

There is a huge demand for Vehicles in the armed forces.

I Fear there will increase in the Use of IEDs and VBIED in the future in the Valley. India needs to produce more types MPVs and APCs with more protection than our current generation vehicles.

An official at Nagrota-based White Knight Corps told the Greater Kashmir that during the night of 28 May, a group of at least six militants tried to sneak into this side of LoC in Kalal area.“One of them stepped onto a mine at Zero Line that alerted the already deployed ambush parties. The area was swiftly cordoned off. During searches the militants opened fire, in the exchange of fire three heavily armed militants were killed in the three-day operation,” the Army official said.“At least two to three more militants are injured and operation is underway to track them,” the official said.

There is a limit to the protection level offered by a MPV.
40 to 70 kilo of explosive will tear down the most protected MPV.

The better option is to stop the accumulation of Explosive, make it so that the terrorists can't accumulate more than 5 kg of IED.
Dog squad are the Ideal solution. The IED made my terrorist are not of good quality, the explosive materials often escape the package. Dogs can smell this.

I mean creating Explosive isn’t that hard. In places like Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan and Pakistan Terrorists make IEDs out plastic materials using everyday household items. It is every much possible to create a home grown IED or VBIED in Kashmir Valley and combined with IED Specialist Terrorists from Pakistan who are trained in Terrorist Camps run by Afghan Taliban and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan then sent to infiltrate into India. So There are major possibilities of increase in IED attacks against Indian Army in Kashmir.

A home made IED won't have nowhere near capability as the Military Grade one.
Do u have any source that highlight effectiveness of home made IED.

@Bhadra explained it quite very well. I'd suggest you just search in the forum threads.
Long story short: There are terrains that neither forces (PA or IA) can monitor 24x7 round the clock. Its the worlds biggest active border. There are trenches, and river crossing, marsh lands etc. You would require solid ground to plant mines afterall.

I mean there no video out there that possibly differentiates between a Home Made IED and “Normal” Or “Military Grade” IED as you say. All news reports just claim it was just a IED hit. I mean all IEDs are military grade they are made to destroy, Kill or Maim a target. The first letter of the world IED has the word improvised which means created spontaneously or without preparation that means you create a bomb or Mine with whatever you got around near you. I mean I was able to find some videos that talk about this topic but they aren’t complete videos.

Continuing from the last post These videos are easily available on YouTube. IEDs can be created using everyday items that you get from home or buy from the store. Only thing a Terrorist needs is the training and a guide on how to mix the chemicals and create them which is available online or can taught to a Terrorist by there Terrorist handlers or Terrorist IED Bomb Makers who are found all across Afghanistan and Pakistan.
