Forces expect more intrusion attempts by Pakistani drones
Officials said that in Rajasthan and Gujarat major military deployments are located deep inside. It is unlike other areas along the International Border (IB) between India and Pakistan, where such deployments are located closer to the IB. This means that in areas, apart from Rajasthan and Gujarat, it is easier for Pakistani radars to detect Indian deployments and movements. However, in the two areas,
Pakistan has to probe deeper and use more surveillance means such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles or drones, which has its difficulties.
Officials said that major military deployments in Rajasthan are located around 80 km away from the IB. While the
Border Security Force is deployed along the IB, army and air force installations are deep inside. Officials added that Pakistan would want to keep track of any movement from these installations. Gujarat also has a similar deployment.
“These regions are different from other areas such as Punjab, where the major deployments are closer to the IB. In such areas, enemy radars can easily pick up military deployments along the border,” said the official, adding however that in Rajasthan and Gujarat Pakistani forces have to put more effort.
“Their drones do not have the required capability for such surveillance. Our air defence units are also alive to the present situation,” said an official.]
