We have two BRF gurus (Mandeep and Sanjay) politely but firmly disagreeing on whether the armoured formation is a div or a div equivalent. And a third guru (Sunil) has resolutely deployed himself on the fence. So we seem to have an impasse of LoC proportions on our hands. <P>No problem. This thread ...

Possibly because we always attack in this sector<BR>Hmm. There's something in this that we can develop. I was looking slightly towards the nortt, where THEY always attacked. We have always attacked towards the Sakargarh bulge. Hope the damn thing works this time - <P>\Jammu<BR>*\<BR> / Pathankot<BR>...

So we seem to have:<P>(1) 2-3 recently formed armd bdes, most likely indep groups<BR>(2) northern pak Punjab is the most likely operational area for these bdes.<P>So what does that tell us about Pak strategy?<P>I am developing this as I go along, so please tell me if I am totally off course.<P>First...

I can understand a corps having one indep armd bde, but why three? Is it something to do with geography? India has three indep armd bdes in XVI corps, and now it seems Pak is mirroring that directly across the border...<P>I would figure that three full TOE indep armd bdes are <I>more</I> expensive t...

Thanks, Sunil and Sanjay. Very interesting bit of news. Looks like this is their counter for our third strike corps. If stationed in the upper Punjab area, then looks like it can either counter an expected Indian thrust from Pathankot/Gurdaspur, or launch a strike towards the chicken's neck. <P>To m...

I read this intriguing claim in Dr. Sanjay Badri-Maharaj's article in the second-last issue of BRM (http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/MONITOR/ISSUE3-6/sbm.html). Hope this catches SBM's eye, since I just saw his post in another thread. So Sanjay, if you read this, please enlighten. <P>Anyone else have a...

Let's count...<P>LCA, Agni-II second test, GSLV, BrahMos launches, plus maybe Su30MKI, MiG 21-93, TES+PSLV shortly. <P>The overused cliche "watershed year" comes to mind

This is a major milestone for the Indian defense establishment. The third leg of the triad just became a credible possibility.<P>I am delighted that it can be used for conventional as well as nuclear payloads. Kudos to the scientists. Is this an exclusive navy oriented program? Hope not. Would it be...

Great job, Abhijit!

Thank you all for your feedback. This article was conceived a few months ago in a conversation with Rupak, and it is intended as an article in BRM. I realise it is still very rough, and needs some more work. But I thought that I should go ahead and post it anyway, to see what you guys think. <P>Suni...

My attempt. Lost all the URL references. Sorry 'bout that <img src="http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/ubb/frown.gif" alt="" /> Hope this post sheds some light on a highly underrated force. This is a profile of the Jammu and Kashmir Police force. It is very difficult to separate the t...
