Bharat Rakshak

Thanks Rahul.

dec 2001, do you mean the one a qala-i-jangi fort ? was it a human error ? never come across that. have you a source ? ramana ji is talking about a much more recent one in which wedding party(IIRC) of karzai's relatives were attacked. No,not qala i jangi fort incident.There majority of work was don...

I think Karzai's brother was killed by one of those.

Are you talking about the friendly fire incident in december 2001.That was a case of human error on behalf of one of the special operators.

Mods.I need to start a thread about cyberwarfare "Cyberwarfare and its implications on India".It is very important topic and has been ignored till now.Please advise.

Guys I had a question about language training of our special forces.Do our special forces undergo training in languages that are being used in hostile countries

hey Rahul go ahead delete it.

By the way I am not arrogant.I am sorry if I sounded so.

wikipedia entry on US navy eod

I was talking about how NSG explosives detachment could be something like this.

dear poster, please avoide "guessing" BRF forums should allow more bandwidth to people who know facts, (for example posts with concrete reference, news item, or interesting tidbit should be the ONLY thing posted), personal opinion, guesswork, and wild predictions etc should be reserved fo...

Su-30, FFGA, Mig-29K- all these aren't enough to please lord Russia?, which country is committed to purchase to so many Fighters from them?. and yet MMRCA should be also awared to Russians? I agree.While US cannot be trusted it would be a suicide to put all eggs in the Russian basket.It would make ...

Are the bomb data center personnel of the NSG also commandos or are they "brainy" experts deputed to NSG with minimal commando training since they are never needed to participate in actual commando operations? I don't know about bomb data center personnel but if they also double up as a b...

I presume Ravi was just mentioning that I have the experience and knowledge of the Army and was possibly telling you something that you possibly did not know. However, that it no way should curb you.

No problem Rayc sir.Lets move on.

darshhan ji,

Nice P.S.

Do you know how to drive a truck?

Chetak ji thanks.I think if only every non-believer had this attitude then we would have solved the problem of jihadi terror.

I didn't understand your truck question though.

Thanks Rahul I will check the Faqs

Some more information on dragunov since we are discussing it.http://world.guns.ru/sniper/sn18-e.htm

Then make it a private forum.

this is a pvt forum btw. (a minor technicality but nevertheless)

I was responding to Ravibg's earlier post.Doesn't matter now.

By the way can anyone tell me how to embed URL's in the post or where I can find such information.

Thanks Rayc sir for your information.If that is the case then it is good for Army.Snipers if used properly can be a great strategic asset. Hi Ravibg darshshan, you are hearing from an ex-army officer, so you better believe it Which means a civilian should not be participating in a discussion.Is that...

The Indian Army has snipers and uses the Dragunov SVD59 7.62mmx54mmR Sniper Rifle. Can you give me some details to back your claim(No Photographs please).By the way effective range of dragunov is about 800 metres and the max range is about 1200 mts.So whether it is a sniper rifle or designated mark...

Brihaspatiji and karna_aji,I will start writing the essay.Once I complete it you can also make your additions.Once it is done I can translate it in hindi as well(although I am quite out of touch with hindi).Maybe BR users can help to translate in other languages as well. In the meantime if you have ...

Presumably this fellow is a batman Just wearing a ghillie suit does not make a sniper.There is a difference between designated marksmen whose primary job is squad support and Snipers who can be used as standalone assets to deny freedom of movement to the enemy.Designated marksmen can make a differe...

I can understand, how, in an emotional frenzy (26/11) we might feel that vast amounts of killing are going to solve the problem, but I don't get how sane people, especially those who consider themselves "strategists" could honestly suggest this. India itself is not wiping out people. Why ...

Karna_aji and Brihaspatiji, I totally agree with you on the need to expose the deficiencies and waste that is generated by the current system and the need to educate the public. I was wondering whether we can jot down all the points that we come with in vernacular languages such as Hindi,tamil,assam...

Brihaspatiji, There is the ideological distrust and misgivings about this turning into autocracy We can deal with the above scenario by ensuring that parliament has enough power to check the directly elected PM/president and if necessary even impeach him. Also we can have term limits to ensure that ...

Dragunov is not a sniper rifle.It is more of a designated marksman rifle.I don't think Indian military doctrine employs snipers which is a disadvantage.Snipers if used properly can be true force multipliers

Brihaspatiji.Got your point.But making a constitutional change will require a majority vote in parliament(I think it will require about 75% vote).Which is very difficult in current scenario.Right now even 10% parliamentarians will not support such a measure even if masses are in favour of it. I have...

Hi Brihaspati, With greater media exposure/connections/communications the possibility for something analogous to a presidential form can emerge. But I guess the first step will have to be getting a "coalition" into power that agrees to push forward such a change, and then the idea has to b...

Hi Uri Was there any publication to the terorist investigation (the one captured alive) and if so any indication that Israeli/Jewish targets were chosen in advance? Yes it is obvious that nariman house/chabad house(jewish targets) were chosen in advance.Mumbai consists of about 20 million people and...

Can we discuss India's nuclear doctrine on this forum?

Hey guys.This is my first post on this forum.I just wrote an article.Please review it and give your comments India's incomplete Nuclear Doctrine Recently after Mumbai terrorist attacks which took a huge toll on the precious human life in india,people have been rightfully clamoring for action.However...
