Indian Counter Terror Operations Pictures & Discussions

[Nuvneet Kundu]

Indeed, there is not too much of a threat from IEDs in Kashmir, those engaged in the anti-Naxal fight DESPERATELY need such vehicles, improved MPVs and revised SOPs. That the CAPFs have resorted to using motorbikes in lieu of their outdated MPVs is a most depressing bit of news for a number of reasons.

The motor bikes are for political patrolling. Meaning, whenever a local police informer tips the CAPF about Naxal activity, they rush to the scene on their bikes. Now, political Naxal activity here does not mean guns and bombs, but there is a 'capture the flag' type of games being played in the hinterlands where the Naxals plant a red flag to assert dominance, and the police has to physically remove the flag to assert their dominance. No matter how much armor your vehicle has, you will have to get down and do some things personally. It is for these reasons that the two wheeler is used as an off-road vehicle in relatively non-combat roles, where the Naxal are trying to make a political presence but have no military presence yet. The CAPFs who use these bikes claimed in an interview that they consider them to be a boon. It's available as a Rajya Sabha documentary on their official Youtube channel.


Armored upgrades are no doubt necessary wherever they obviously are, but an elephant can't do the job of a horse. The bike provides this nuance to our forces as a niche tool to be used only in specific cases where it gives us an edge. Though, I'm not denying that there might be some people who might have gotten complacent and started using the bikes where an armored vehicle is necessary, given our history of jugaad.

In reality, the IED threat is very much present in J&K. Our force battle it daily with fair success.

The situation in naxal areas is different as they are able to plant such large IEDs - which no MPV can defeat. In J&K there is no way a jehadi is going to get the time, resources to plant such a large IED.

In the above picture, The vehicle is stuffed with men with very limited space for weapons and movement for solider inside, In case of an ambush the vehicle design will restrict troop dispersion on ground at quick succession, It will sure lead to casualties ..

This is a reason to concern, Its not that i don`t love Maruti Jeep as its very resourceful in narrow roads and with quick acceleration with minimum sound, But everything has its place and design limits..

The vehicle is not design for military application but improvised and using this for every application in military sense is no longer applicable when their are better options available..

People in Army are not very much involved into tacticool area nor like it much but believe in necessity and requirement given its work feasibility according to terrain and training so does maintenance ..

There are places where MPV and Jeeps cannot go but ATVs with long range, These are being offered by BEML and i hope they also indigenous them by license copy ..

In J&K, These can come handy ..

@ abingdonboy, Vehicle exists, But not sure it is under us by CAPF ..

Same role as you suggest abt some foreign vehicle ..

I remember seeing one with a RCWS, dunno why the IA dosen't use it in CT ops.

 

[Kunal Biswas]

The RCWS is expensive and harder to maintain, Their are no system establish to monitor and maintain such weapon complex at base level ..

The Medak MPV looks ekdum SaF from the outside but it looks a bit cramped with all those soldiers sitting inside the MPV:

The short leash is a dead giveaway. Sniffer dogs have a long leash, for obvious reasons. These are Rottweilers, these aren't sniffer dogs, they are attack dogs. Seems like a shift in strategy, if you know what I mean.

This is a heat seeking missile with some fur.

It is normal for the handlers to allow sniffer dogs to lead on long leash because these dogs by temperament are independent, aren't as good at learning and following commands (compared to guard/attack dogs) and may follow the scent trail blindly.

Guard and Attack Dogs are generally trained to walk on side of the handler and not lead him/her. The Rottweilers in the image have most probably been trained for "search and rescue".

Haven`t seen these types before ..

Off-late Rottweilers are finding greater acceptance in police and military because of their versatility. German Shepherds are still the best general purpose dogs in my opinion, but the breed is now suffering issues like health problems.

Most of the big-size dogs are generally gentle in nature. Most of the big dogs have low prey drive. Don't go by the looks.

Now do cremation of their body so that other Muzzi pigs can know that if they mess with the Indian forces, their chances of going to Zannat at the time of kayamat shall end.

We must burn the dead bodies of muzzie pigs to discourage them from coming to India.

What is this? Rest 7 are neutralized?

 

[Bornubus]

Kashmiri media is so afraid (or sympathies) of Jihadis that they use the word "militants" and even "rebels" while rest of the country and the world call them terrorists.

Small dogs, particularly the terriers will bark a lot and may bite on slight provocation, they also have high prey drive hence they will go for a kill. These are the smaller ones you need to be afraid of.

Large dogs are generally self-assured, they may hold their ground (many of them are timid and will prefer to run away from danger) but they are very gentle in nature. Large body carries large brain, hence large dogs have even, predictable temperament and are easily trainable compared to smaller breeds.

Aggression in large dogs is usually because of bad training and poor handling (beating etc).

That is why if you want a dog for family, always choose the medium and large breeds, they look intimidating but they are gentle on other pets and children in particular. They are less likely to bite guests and neighbours.
