Some 60 Paki civilians killed in Indian firing last year.What is the option if our civilians gets killed,they specifically target Sikhs and Hindus living in border villages.

Evil in disguise >> Military Infrastructure painted and molded to look like Civilian Village.

A normal looking village is actually Pakistan Military Infrastructure with watch tower and bunkers.

Watch tower of the Post ' Aurangzeb '

Bunkers of post ' Aurangzeb '

===========

Their is Intel but its not always 100% correct, PA troops use civilian Infrastructure for their own purpose time to time, In many cases they do not always evacuate civilian, Hence civillain casualitues which was not intentional from our side ..

Excellent improvisation of L 70 which are lying idle most of the time.I know we have reinforced our bunkers with Steel and concrete somtimes it is too hard for pakis to target the jawans since they are little expose.Thus lately Pakis are targeting them with Snipers.

Also, how L 70 devasted the Paki bunkers, are we using some special rounds for it ?

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.

To add a little conext to this- Rottweillers have the strongest bite of all dog breeds, second is the famed German Shepard.

In the past I have seen IA dog handlers with Labradors but these were sniffer dogs, I haven't seen Rottweilers being used as service dogs anywhere in India until now.

 

[abingdonboy]

You mean...Barking dog seldom bite??

The barking is a warning mechanism that we have bred into them.

This is what I am talking about when I say India's Pak policy is all over the place and is legitmising a terrorist state/outfit. There is ample proof that the Pak army (those very guys in the pic most likely) provide cover fire for terrorists trying to get into India and some of these guys may actually end up training/leading such terror groups and what does India do? Pose for pictures with them and give them sweets? No wonder the Pak side is smiling, they must be laughing their asses off when they get back to their base. No wonder they consider Indians weak and inferior.



The tears haven't even dried on the faces of the widows of the Pathankot and Pampore martyrs and this shit is going on?

All because some bleeding heart somewhere in Delhi thinks these "CBMs" are going to bring about peace?


If you act like a p*ssy don't be surprised when you treated like one, what more is there to say?

You know,i never understood the decision why we signed cease fire agreement in 2003 when virtual we are at war with Pakis since 1947 so much so that even our airbases are not secure.Pathankot was attack twice 1st by SSG in 1965 they failed and ended up our POW this time they partly succeeded.

We were in very strong position in early 2000 before cease fire,raiding Paki posts at will,black ops on their civilians (allegedly by pakis).Gen G D Bakhshi once said that it was the punishment of Indian Arty which forced Pakis to appeal for cease fire and Govt at that time agreed to it.

Even my close friend in Army quarters,whose father is now retire as Niab Subedar Garhwal Rifles in a team that raided a paki Post manned by few pakis,killed them and bring their weapons,Mugs,Radio set etc .He still have that Paki Mug as a trophy in his village.This was not even the news in our or Paki media.

Yout want to know why? So some politcans and diplomats in Delhi could have the "feel good factor" and so they could forever brag about how they secured a "ceasfire agreement" with Pakistan and agreement that, as we can see from the constant firing still going on on the LoC, isn't worth the paper it was written on.

LoC: In the Line of Fire
They are on a permanent vigil on a forbidding terrain, pitted against an aggressive enemy. The life and times of the Indian soldiers along the Line of Control.

Ajmal Kasab: The inside story

Soldiers patrolling the 772-km LoC between Pakistan and India in Jammu and Kashmir are evidently on edge. The firing by Khan and his trigger-happy troopers on the night of August 28 a short distance from Jogi, their post in the Teetwal sector, 230-km northwest of Srinagar, drew an instant response from Pakistani positions 400 m away. Intermittent firing, not particularly targeting each other but more to mark a wakeful presence, continued until daybreak.

This is part of a seemingly unstoppable escalation in violence that began on January 8 with the beheading of two Indian jawans-Lance Naik Hemraj and Lance Naik Sudhakar Naik-in Jammu's Mendhar sector. Till September 29, when Prime Ministers Manmohan Singh and Nawaz Sharif, in New York, tried to resolve the impasse on the loc, there have been nearly 150 skirmishes resulting in casualties on both sides, including 26 Indian soldiers.

Life under constant threat in the most hostile terrain on India's frontier is clearly taking its toll on men of the Indian Army's celebrated Richhmar Battalion, deployed in the Tangdhar area on precipitous ridges at altitudes between 7,500 and 9,500 ft. "I've done this at least once, sometimes twice, every other day, for the last two years," Naik Anil Kumar, 32, says, as he negotiates an impossibly inclined and deeply rutted road in his 4wd Gypsy. Climbing sharply for over 3,000 ft, the 22-km dirt track stops nearly 500 ft below the battalion's field headquarters at Jogi.

Gulsher Khan's ambush party traverses many kilometres along the tightest, often non-existent, trails in pitch dark to get back to Jogi. "Pakistanis and panthers aren't the only dangers here," says Rakesh Kumar. The 28-year-old sepoy, who took a 200 ft tumble after a wrong step on the way home, is nursing a deeply-gashed shin and multiple bruises on his torso. "I managed to grab some bushes, otherwise I'd be on my way home to Mathura in adibba (box)," he grins sheepishly. Kumar was fortunate he did not trigger one of the thousands of anti-personnel mines spread across the mountainsides.

Back at the post, the boys attend a mandatory debriefing session before they can indulge in the luxury of a brief wash to rid themselves of sweat and face-paint. Water, pumped from a mountain spring at the base of the 9,000-ft-high Karachi Tip, a Pakistani post, is scarce. "If you're lucky you'll find the time and a bucket of lukewarm water for a bath every fifth day," says Lance Naik Jabeer Ali. He doesn't mind; he's used to worse water shortages in his village Bhaaru in Rajasthan's Jhunjhunu district.

Grenadier Vir Bahadur, 20, joined the paltan (battalion) this January. He has spent the past eight months in a subterranean bunker manning a medium machine gun with its sights set on Pakistani posts on the other side of a deep gorge cut by a turbulent tributary of the Neelum river as it briefly fords the loc into India near Pakistan's Nausheri village. Still shy of a decent stubble on his chin, the youngster shares the soggy underground with a million millipedes. The insects infest every inch of the 400 m-long maze of tunnels that connect the battalion's operations room with a profusion of steel-reinforced pillboxes. One has to crouch really low, but the pain is well worth it as Pakistanis can't see you.

Protected from enemy eyes by the mountain they hold, the men can stand down and occasionally relax-a breakfast of hot poories with bhaji or chhole, followed by an intense standoff on the carrom board. The manoranjan kaksh (recreation room) at Jogi may be basic but they love it-a flat screen TV with a cable connection and a set of ludo and snakes & ladders. The somewhat-limited selection of reading material includes dog-eared titles ofDhanwaan kaise bane, Gun ka faisla, and Tiranga phaerayenge Pakistan mein.

"This is luxury," says Naik Subhash, 35, who spent several months with a platoon at Kela, a forward post at 9,200 ft that gets snowed under and cut off for more than four months every winter. An arduous, six-hour climb from Jogi, the post is a similar maze of steel-covered trenches and bunkers, from which soldiers never stick their head over ground level. Like two other Richhmar Battalion positions, Veera and Roopa, the post is less than 50 m from Karachi Tip and Pak Neck, manned by one of the Pakistan Army's Mujahid Battalions.

When his ailing father passed away last winter, it took three days to convey the news to Subedar Mahesh Kumar, then in command of the platoon at Kela. "There were no means of extricating him, other than a death-defying climb down the snow-covered ridge," battalion commander Colonel Vivek Gupta, 39, recalls. "Mahesh chose to stay back," he says.

Within shouting distance of each other, mocking verbal exchanges are routine: "Aao dost chai peeyenge (Come and have tea, friend)," Pakistani soldiers try to draw out the Indians, who invariably respond with an offer of "real tea all the way from Bangladesh". The seemingly friendly banter quickly regresses into angry exchanges of obscenities or long, silent interludes. "Those chaps (Pakistani soldiers) speak in an unfamiliar Punjabi dialect that our boys never fully understand," says Naik Subhash.

Four of the fiercest Gaddi (Himalayan Mastiff) dogs zealously stand guard besides their uniformed masters at the Jogi post. Musharraf, Chashmish, Panji and Sheroo, each capable of taking down an armed intruder, don't miss a thing. The battalion's fifth canine, Ganpat, who ambled over to a Pakistani post three months ago, was chased away by the rest when he returned three days later. The loathing across the loc is palpable and seems to transcend human boundaries.
