I noticed this in the BR history section, Around the same time, four Vampires flying from Jamnagar over the sea near Diu, noticed a Fast Patrol Boat traveling out of the Diu harbour. Upon closer observation, the Vampires were fired at by the Boat. Fg. Off. P.M. Ramachandran - the lead pilot - immedi...

Digvijay, this is especially for you,

Now tell me again that there were mujahideen in Kargil.
(I don't think Musharaff has seen the videos either)

General Inder Gill did not serve with the SAS but with the Royal Engineers. He parachuted into Crete to carry out sabotage and was awarded the Military Cross for his achievements,leadership and bravery. Yes, thats probably correct but I could recall some deployment in the British Special Forces. He...

For the most part, the battle-field is lonely and silent with bursts of action in between. It is still a highly tense situation. A heated situation doesn't mean you have to be firing non-stop. In any case, it is only in the lull that any negotiation of surrender can take place. A decision will have...

I have to get this off my chest
One question I have always pondered, All of us know of the general civilian public's exponential increase in awareness and respect for the armed forces after nothing less than the loss of hundreds of Indian soldiers at Kargil and the torture that Saurabh Kalia and his men had to endure. But was it r...

Again, totally irrelevant because it is based on a complete misreading of my posts. Where did I say that we should (or do) bank on the enemy trusting to our kindness and thus, surrendering? My point simply is that a bad reputation hurts Firstly, you have to ask yourself if the actual events on the ...

And what would the point of accepting a surrender be, other than saving the lives of your own men who might have otherwise died in battle and getting a chance to interrogate the PoWs to get intelligence? You go into battle with an objective in mind and will do anything to achieve it, be it killing ...

JCage, Much before Barkha Dutt wrote the sorry article - India Today Editor Harinder Baweja wrote bout the head in her book. And India today carried excerpts of the book. Before that, it was mentioned in Srinjoy Choudry's book. Consider what would have happened if the 90000 Prisoners had tried to f...

No additional casualties will occur. You go into battle expecting your enemy to fight like that in the first place and not give up and/or run away, even if the pakis have a history of that. I am inclined to take a combat veteran's statement to the contrary over yours. It is not that hard to underst...

I also wonder what the pukis thought when they saw their officer's head hanging from a tree? Don't torture but send an appropriate message. But no one can be certain if the result would actually be an increase or decrease of enemy morale. This has already been rejected on the grounds that it will me...
