If they (women, children, old folks et al) are declared as enemy combatants, then yes perhaps. Call me pessimistic, but somehow i doubt that happening...

Serious question - is INSAS a bad rifle? Serious answer - depends on who you ask Generally speaking it's best to ask the end users directly There are good rifles and there are bad rifles. Some bad rifles can still be salvaged and turned into good ones As hinted by ks_sachin, it requires the manufac...

I dont think a army division engaged in combat will want to recon and strike targets 100km behind a active battlefront. they will leave it to airpower and SRBMs each of whom can deliver 300-1000kg of warhead in one shot. Yes, an army division on an active battlefront, in a hot war, certainly would ...

It would have to be waaaay off the mark to have deviated from the target and land all the way in residential area.
