On 02 March 1989, two Companies of 6/8 GR set out on a 'reconnaissance mission'. This was a mission to search and weed out any LTTE elements, the details had 48 hours worth of rations with them while on the move. The Unit was not expecting much action. Till then, their activities in Sri Lanka involved only manning of road blocks and conducting searches at theseroad blocks. Their only hour of excitement was when they nabbed a hidden Dinghy and an outboard motor being carried in a Tractor-Trailer.​

As the Lead platoons made their way through the thick and dense jungle, One of the sections in the front ran into an ambush. The LTTE men opened fire with theirLMGs and AK Rifles, killing or wounded five of the Gorkhas. Though the Gorkhas returned fire, the LTTE casualties could not be ascertained . Even as the fighting was going on, the Gorkhas realised that they had stumbled upon the outer defences of a major base. In such a case there would be a couple of tiers of defensive positions before the main camp a good 10 - 12 km behind. This was the reason the LTTE outer defences were holding their ground. This spurred on the Gorkhas to renew their assault with more fervour. By nightfall the fighting became confused. The Commanding Officer of the Gorkha's Colonel V.K. Bakshi sent back calls for more reinforcements. As the Gorkhas ran out of ammo they drew their kukhris and waded into the LTTE. Somewhere along the line Colonel Bakshi was fatally wounded. By morning the fighting was all over a 4 km front. Helicopters flew in reinforcements. An infantry company dropped from the other side of the lagoon to help the Gorkhas ran into heavily booby trapped trails. By afternoon 5 battalions of the Army were in the area moving towards the lagoon. By March 7 when the operations were over 70 LTTE personnel were killed. The main group including the leadership melted away. Colonel Bakshi was awarded the MVC posthumously.​

Last day i spoke with one of my friend who is an AC in QAT . Out of curiosity i asked about the small arms and he said they prefer Aks due to reliability and they are issued with both railed Bulgarian ones and few older under folding AKMs from Russia .He prefers Russian AkM with no rails because its much lighter to carry around compared with the comparatively bulky Bulgarian ones with Falke LE sights.When asked about other arms he said they had indian made TARs were there earlier and returned back thanks to bad built quality and X-95s are not preferred as they are not very much well liked among troops and had some malfunctions and the worst part is that these guys are not even allowed to swap the sights of the govt issued weapons with another one nor trained to switch the ambidextrous controls .So most time these X-95s sit there idle with their sights on it where as many guys runs with vanilla Aks because if something happened to govt maal they will be screwed.Btw they thinks that in CQB ,sights are a boon but in long range ops these sights, added rails ,vertical grips all just adds up weight.Considering JVPCs they have high regard but the numbers are still low and many still prefers folding stock Aks or even pistols to carry under the pfehran.

Its better to be quiet and let people guess if you are stupid rather than to open your mouth and prove it.

same applies here

Aks because if something happened to govt maal they will be screwed.

Literal Soviet type shiiet

 

[DumbPilot]

So most time these X-95s sit there idle with their sights on it where as many guys runs with vanilla Aks because if something happened to govt maal they will be screwed

I have talked to a former 4 SIKH LI radio man and he mentioned how they had to pay exorbhitant amounts to some Jaipur depot to get things replaced(like chargers for the radio sets, which are the same as the ones found on older 2000s Sony cameras)

I'm telling you all these guys responsible for PR have been selected upon their screen time on instagram. I'm missing the old Indian army ads and those educational documentaries which were actually educational.
