Re: Tactics & military craft

Unconventional enemy enemy territory. Firstly I would question why should there be a difference between unconventional enemy and conventional enemy if we are in enemy territory. If possible treat them all as one. But lines can blur and this gives the defender an advantage. The political context wil...

Re: Artillery Discussion Thread

Answer : they wanted to test it. DG Arty told Commandant Arty School to provide the range. MOD came down heavily on DG Arty saying they were not allowed to do this. So army wanted to provide the range but MOD gave them a slap on the wrist. I have mentioned this quite a few times. But see the bias in...

But the fence will be targeted by them. That will be a problem for us. Better to completely take out their arty if they make any arty action whatsoever. We should protect the fence with extreme prejudice as they say in American TV.

Re: Artillery Discussion Thread

Agreed but I think we are in an early stage here. At next stage we really need to increase orders big time. Baba Kalyani is on record saying he can give 100 guns a year. On that note a quiz :

What did Bharat Forge request from the army some years ago in context of B52. And what happened.
