Skirmishs at LOC, LAC & International Border

[delbruky]

Firstly, mortar shells do not 'suck out' oxygen, Those that do are called thermobaric bombs/warheads/weapons or FAE (Fuel Air Explosives) which we are not using.

Secondly, mortars and artillery are basically area weapons and do not fire PGMs (Precision Guided Munitions). There's a world of a difference between the two. And we aren't using PGMs on the LoC - as yet. OPs (Observation posts) both static and airborne (Air OP) are used to observe fall of shot and issue corrections. The SWATI radar in its secondary role, can also track and observe the fall of shot from friendly guns and provide fire corrections to counter-battery fire.

Thirdly, mortar and arty rounds we're plastering the Pakis with are HE with a sprinkling of smoke and illuminating rounds too.

Fourthly, SWATI radars are designed to be configured with artillery 120mm/122mm/105 IFG/105 LFG, etc and not with infantry 81mm mortars as yet which the BSF is also using.

Fifthly, what exactly do you mean by 'miniaturization' of the SWATI radar? Considering the robust design and radar array having a detection range for large caliber artillery rounds up to 30 km, increasing up to 40 km for unguided rockets, this is the best config achieved so far. Any smaller and you'll lose the range detection advantage considerably.

Thank You for the clarification on shells and explosives and pardon my limited knowledge about the smae. With the current functionality it's clear that Swati is operated by a third party and that operator has to communicate with the guards about the co-ordinates of the enemy.

By miniaturization of Swati radar I meant a radar compacted into a handheld device with same functionality although with limited scope. It also means a relatively easy to use device that could provide the guards who are being shelled upon in the middle of the night a tool for precision mortar fire, that too instantly, something of the size seen in the picture below. which is actually a traffic radar.

There's a world of a difference between the two. What you have shown is just a portable laser speed detection device called LIDAR with a range of about 400-500m. We're talking of the SWATI radar which is a far more complex system which detects the flight of arty/mortar rounds from the time they are fired, calculates the trajectory taking into account atmospheric conditions like wind velocity, direction, temperature etc and then computes the back bearing and location of the gun position from where the round was fired upto 30km away, 40km for unguided rockets.

Now all this cannot be fitted onto a hand held device!! However, I need to add that the SWATI radar is being improved and making it more compact than it is at present. But it can never be converted into a hand-held device......or probably it can in about 50 years from now!!

How did @delbruky 's quote turn to my quote?

Anyway, coming the point on discussion, computation part can be done on any hand held device. The critical part would be the RADAR. We may need to explore placing multiple small radars and try to arrive a comprehensive picture.

Ooops! That should be @delbruky's quote, not yours! How the dickens did that happen?

Nice story! Drowned whilst fishing? Really? A Paki Army officer doesn't know how to swim??? Lol! This fellow was likely killed on the LoC or in the AfPak region by the Afghan Army or the BLA. The Pakis are masters of spin!

Pity the family of such men.

What a waste of life for a thankless nation.

Sir is swimming skill mandatory to be in the army?

Dunno about that but learning downhill skiing is definitely mandatory in Napaki fauj.

What a waste of sperm and egg. Don't feel pity for the Shitistanis. Feel pity for the poor mother earth who has to bear their burden.

For Indian Army "YES".

For Porki Army "DROWNING SKILL" is a MANDATORY skill..........

 

[Mikesingh]

Yes!! There are tests one has to pass. Non-swimmers are taught how to swim at NDA and IMA.

 

[COLDHEARTED AVIATOR]

Sir is swimming skill mandatory to be in the army?

I think so.All the training centre of Indian Army have swimming pools.

Plus he is an officer.

 

[NeXoft007]

Remember this?
Four Paki Maritime Commandos drowned, two rescued.

Here is one of the several instances were Pigs were found to be swimming

Probably a defector, or dissenting officer killed by seniors. Uncle Sam and ISIS/Al Qaeda are out with their shopping cart in Pakistan recruiting young Army officers to do their dirty work.
