The Best way to counter snipers is spraying the entire place with HMGs as Preventive fire

We have HMGs like KPV and NSG and PKT

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equipment_of_the_Indian_Army#Infantry_weapons
Snipers hide in ambush and target mobile patrols of the Indian Army from what I can tell. I don't think it is possible to drag a heavy machine gun, set it up and then start firing while under the scope of the enemy sniper. That is why I was thinking use a gunfire locator along with artillery and counter sniping. Anyway, I'm sure the Indian Army has better brains than an internet armchair warrior like myself.

If you gain some Territory Inside PoK can you hold it for ever

Unless and until we fight a large scale war we cannot get PoK

And in a large scale war there will be thousands of casualties

Is this country ready for that for the sake of POK
no need to go for pok. Focus on northern aareas.

I was specifically talking about something like these used by NATO. Might be a good purchase for IA.


Boomerang is a gunfire locator developed by DARPA and BBN Technologies primarily for use against snipers. Boomerang is mounted on mobile vehicles such as the Humvee, Stryker, and MRAP combat vehicles. There were plans to integrate it into the Land Warrior system.

We have a desi radar developed by BEL in Bangalore. It does the same thing. It locates small arms fire, including sniper and mortars.



It doesn't track sound waves, unlike the Boomerang, but it's a Doppler radar so it detects the hot air pressure wave caused by the moving bullet, so bullet tracking is possible. It's multipurpose, it also tracks helicopters etc.

The simple question is
Why Pakistan is not climbing down from Aggression

The Answer is that they think India is a SOFT State

All these multi billion dollar weapons have no use
if we are scared by 100 casualties in a Year

Pakistan knows that Indian Media will force Modi to
Go for peace and talk with them

They also feel that Today Kashmir is in the same position
as 1971 of Bangladesh

They feel this is their moment of revenge

And Chinese help has made them more confident

The only way to break their morale and will is to
keep them under relentless pressure

Gunfire locator and detection system is even installed as pilot projects in some Brazilian streets. Though it was not military grade hardware.

There is a Huge difference here

man Mohan singh was following a policy of appeasing Pakistan

There were severe restrictions on Indian Army for firing back

Pakistanis used to taunt Indian Army on LOC

" Take permission from Delhi before firing "

Aggresive commanders were reprimanded and Transferred

All this peace and ceasefire helped Pakistan to build its strength

How did it help India

MMS believed that by appeasing Pakistan ; they will change their behaviour

No such thing happened

After 2013 Beheadings ; there was a Near revolt in the Army

And Antony was advised by RAW ; dont go to Kashmir
or soldiers will attack you

Such was the level of anger

Today even if there are casualties ; Army has the satisfaction
that we are hammering the Pakistanis
unlike many , i has a better memory ....

all this tv coverage of casualities coming to their respected towns ,
and then prominent bjp leaders visiting their homes ,
giving insulting remarks to UPA govt , promising that once they will come into power will give fitting reply back.....

casualities were never made public the way it did during 2013-2014......

surely it was a bad move , whoever behind it ......very bad move !!

Yeah, drones, motion sensors, electric fencing, gunfire locators. Infiltration into India is going to get more and more impossible in the future. Pakistan is fighting a losing battle here. Internal cleanup is already going strong and the jihadi movement will die at some point.

Bhakts r A grade morons. did Manmohan done ever this.

PM Narendra Modi touches Nawaz Sharif's mother's feet, makes surprise visit to Pakistan
http://zeenews.india.com/news/india...makes-surprise-visit-to-pakistan_1838494.html
That was a final attempt to make peace

And when the reply was Pathankot ; the Answer
was very clear from Pak Army

Also remember that in 2014 there was a lot of LOC fighting

Then USA was asked by the Pakis to intervene to bring peace

Obama was pushing Modi for peace

So Modi made a final attempt with Lahore trip

Now no country says that India should talk to Pakistan

And After URI the gloves are finally off

Modi has shown that He can do both

Make an Attempt for peace and also Surgical strikes

But of course
Pakistan will need much more hammering to cure them

Who cares if Modi touches the mother's feet or sings her a song? It's all optics, for the right people, to convey the right message.

Manmohan destroyed India's interests in substantive ways.

You need to separate words and statements and optics from policy and money and weapons. The latter matters, the former is inconsequential.

In India you cannot hide casualties

After 2013 Beheading of FIVE soldiers
There was an outrage in the country

And it was not possible to hide anything

The beheading was the Final nail in MMS' Pakistan policy

Yet that Traitor did nt do anything

If bhakts r really nationalist like they claim, they should spit on modi for doing this
Would you Congis will ever say anything to MMS for appeasing Pakistan

MMS made Pakistan stronger with his policy of No firing on the LOC

Pakis got the time ; manpower and resources because of his policy

At That time they were in bad shape in FATA and Waziristan
we could have used it very well by opening another front

lol no media is asking modi to slow down LoC fight. Infact its opposite, media houses r adding fuel to fire. It's upto modi to decide on next level of action on loc. But he is too busy on pleasing uncle sam

All these equipment wont work on LOC terrain
That terrain is mountainous ; forests ; rivers ; valleys

There the best way to weed out Hidden snipers is
spraying them at all possible locations

We can make a list of such places both known and possible
and hit them in a pre emptive manner
