JAISALMER: In a major show of strength and joint operational capability, troops of the strike formation of Indian Army carried out a two-day long special heliborne exercise in the deserts of Rajasthan.

The special heliborne operation provides necessary momentum to surprise the enemy and multiply the chances of success of an overall plan.

Such operations require surgical precision for execution by highly-trained troops with robust mental and physical capabilities.

The exercise was aimed to fine tune operational and logistical aspects of heliborne operations. A large force, comprising elements of diverse combat and combat-support arms, were successfully integrated and inducted, deep behind the enemy lines by medium-lift helicopters of the Indian Air Force (IAF) to achieve simultaneity in operations. Attack and armed helicopters were also deployed in close support of the heliborne column.

The Army's long-range weapon systems were used to deliver large amount of TNT and steel in support of the heliborne force. Strike aircrafts of the IAF provided critical fire support and air protection to the column.

The exercise conducted in battle like condition was reviewed by large number of senior officers of the Army and Air Force.

The exercise also showcased a high degree of synergy between the Army and IAF. Various electronic counter measures were fielded making use of latest electronic communication equipment. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were employed to gain real-time information of enemy activities which was shared with various command and control centres for planning and execution of coordinated operations.

The exercise was unique in scope and scale and provided ground inputs for refinement of operational procedures.

JAMMU: Under the garb of ceasefire violations, Pakistan has set up five new launching pads for the militants along Line of Control (LoC) and International Border (IB) on their side across Jammu and Kashmir to help terrorists infiltrate but security forces have spotted all these camps and were maintaining strict vigil on them.
Sources told the Excelsior that five new launching pads have been noticed by the security personnel-three across LoC and two across IB during heavy mortar shelling and firing on the borders after September 29 surgical strikes by the Army inside Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK).
However, barring one or two places, no activity of the militants has been observed at any of these camps, sources said, adding that Army and BSF have been keeping strict vigil at the places, where these camps have come up, to ensure that even if the militants try to infiltrate, they don’t succeed and or neutralized well in time.
The launch pads have come up with active connivance of Pakistan army as they were located very close to the enemy posts along LoC and IB. It was not possible to set up the launch pads without the help of Pakistan army or Rangers, sources said.
All such type of terror launch pads and camps had been packed up by Pakistan army and Rangers on their side of LoC after successful surgical strikes by the Indian Army on September 29 in which about 50 militants of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), apart from Pakistan army personnel, were killed.

Asserting that surgical strikes had delivered crippling blow to the militants, sources said the LeT and JeM activists were now trying to recover and regroup themselves around LoC and IB to make fresh attempts of infiltration into the Indian territory. In fact, they added, a number of intrusion bids were made by the militants at both LoC and IB under the cover of mortar shelling and firing by the militants. But all such attempts were foiled by alert jawans of Army and BSF at LoC as well as IB.
“The militants had failed in their plot to sneak-in under covering fire of Pakistan army and Rangers. All those trying to intrude had retreated. Some of them had been killed or injured,” sources said.
They added that in the coming days, the militants could make more attempts to infiltrate into Jammu and Kashmir. In view of this, Army and BSF were already maintaining very high alert all along the LoC and IB to ensure that the militants didn’t succeed in their designs.
According to sources, during past couple of days when there was no mortar shelling or firing on the borders, the militant activities in the new launch pads have also not been observed, which indicated that they were operating along the pads under covering fire of Pakistan army.
“With no shelling on the LoC, the militants seemed to have retreated behind in anticipation of pro-active action by the Indian troops,” they said.

Is another Surgical Strike in Making ???

Hope this time they launch a big scale operation to neutralize the porkis nuclear weapons.Its not easy but with international collaboration with both russia and us on our side should not be impossible.It will be a big risk and even bigger reward maneuver as the world will be a way more safer place.

Hope this time, after surgical strike, they don't leave POK rather Pakistan leave POK.

We have the launch pads' 8-figure grid references. We now need to pound them with artillery as also the nearest Porki posts to these launchpads, as this is where those yahoos will try to infiltrate from.

This exercise is surely meant to be a message as well as training. I wonder what they mean by this though? Shouldn't we demonstrate superior SEAD capability before demonstrating helibourne operation capabilities?
