Designated the ‘Robotic Surveillance Platform’, the Indian Army has called for a procurement under the Indian Defence Procurement Procedure’s ‘Make’ category, which mandates indigenous design, development and manufacture. To be deployed with the Rashtriya Rifles counter-insurgency force deployed in Jammu & Kashmir, the Army defines the capability as follows:
https://indianarmy.nic.in/writereaddata ... 311019.pdfPaperwork on the Army’s new requirement for 500 counter-insurgency ROVs provides details that indicate modifications of existing systems in development. The Army wants ROVs deployable at night, and operable from a range of up to 200 meters. The requirement also mandates grenade launch, though the Army will almost definitely want a machinegun/assault rifle mount. A stair-climbing and obstacle crossing capability will be required, especially since encounters have frequently involved terrorists hiding in attics of houses. Interestingly, it also wants a system that is man-portable, presumably in knocked down assembly kits at the infantry company level.
Days before the first anniversary of the most deadly Pulwama attack in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), where Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) claimed the lives of 40 CRPF personnel, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) is scrambling to find a Pakistan link to the attack.
Last week, the self-styled Kashmir chief of Jaish-e-Mohammad Qari Yasir was killed in a fierce encounter in the PariTral area of Awantipora in South Kashmir. Qari, a Pakistan national, was involved in the last year’s February (IED) blast and also Lethpora IED blast. He was an IED expert and was involved in recruitment as well as the relocation of terror operatives coming in from Pakistan.
Sources said that the agency has no plans to file the chargesheet even after 11 months since no terrorist has been caught alive. "We need a "live" link to connect the terrorist to JEM, Pakistan," said a top official. "All the accused in the case are dead."
Sounds like there is some peculiarity/laxity in the Pulwama region, that allows it's inhabitants to easily access kilos & kilos of explosives and prepare VBIEDs. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?!Security forces including intelligence, army, police averted a major Pulwama-like terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Ayengund area of Rajpora, Pulwama after forces neutralised an IED (Improvised Explosive Device) recovered from a car.
Five unidentified terrorists were on Sunday killed in an encounter with security forces in Shopian district of Jammu and Kashmir, police said.
Security forces launched a cordon and search operation in Reban area of Shopian, in South Kashmir, this morning after receiving specific information about the presence of terrorists in the area, a police official said.
As per credible sources, the killed terrorists belonged to the proscribed Hizbul Mujahideen terror outfit and one among them is believed to be a top commander, police said.
The spokesperson said in case any family claims the killed terrorists to be their kith or kin, they can come forward for their identification
The highlighted is the best part of the story. If you don't identify them, then there is no body to hand over, and hence no funeral tamasha. And any family coming forward would essentially need to admit knowledge of their activities ...Manish_P wrote:Good Op

Four terrorists were killed in an encounter with security forces in Jammu and Kashmir's Shopian district on Monday, police said. The security forces launched a cordon and search operation in the Pinjora area of the district in South Kashmir this morning after receiving information about the presence of terrorists there, a police official said.
He said the operation turned into an encounter after the terrorists opened fired on personnel of a search party, who retaliated. In the exchange of fire, four militants were killed.
Police have not revealed the identity of the slain militants or their group affiliation as part of a new policy to prevent youngsters from joining militant ranks.
This is the second encounter in Shopian district in the past 24 hours.

It may be true, but one thing that the informers love is $$$. Was speaking to an ex-IA officer who had a few stints in Kashmir (was an NSG team lead, who participated in 26/11). He said young Kashmiri girls are great informers, as long as they get their cutmody wrote: But, what this shows is that some of the locals in hot beds like Shopian and Pulwama are getting tired of the violence and giving information about the terrorists.
Misinformation campaign in valley is really high, and most of the residents have access to TV/Radio channels from across the border.Larry Walker wrote:Someone has made a smart move here. Once u stop announcing names, u can thoko the OGW's along with the terrorists and no one is any wiser. At most a missing police complaint but then it will attract the long arm of the law on all the relatives, so they will rather shutup.
Absolutely agree Sir. More J&K Police get involved, better will be the feed from local informers.mody wrote:Deejay sir, Intelligence and local informers as well. There is no way the forces could have eliminated so many terrorists in south Kashmir, without local intel and informers. In fact after the second encounter in which 4 terrorists were killed, there was a report of 1 local civilian being tortured and killed by the pigs. Body was found in a field. Apparently the 4 terrorists eliminated in that encounter had taken refuge in his house and the entire house. Unfortunate.
But, what this shows is that some of the locals in hot beds like Shopian and Pulwama are getting tired of the violence and giving information about the terrorists.

Reason the policy makers think it is luxury to buy optical sights and night scopes because; none of their son's or son-in-laws are in in the army. Most probably in Australia, Canada, UK, or USA. In their minds they are saving money.sajaym wrote:These days in news reports of encounters, I'm seeing lots of visuals of troops running towards the encounter site with bullet-proof shields. This is welcome development, these shields can avoid needless casualties. My pet peeve is that lots of troops still don't have optical sights on their guns and this seems to be treated like a luxury item reserved only for the special forces. I would imagine that 90% of the attacks on troops in JK are in the form of ambushes/sniping from concealed location. In such a scenario, expecting a soldier who is under fire and under shock, to use his eyeballs to scan for the shooter and land bullets on target is nothing short of negligence and cruelty on part of the superiors. It is a shame that a country which spends billions on fighter jets, cant afford to equip all it's troops with optical sights. I bet even the newest SIG 716s will be deployed without optical sights -- pure bhikaaripanthi of the highest order!
No. The fault is the top brass.VinodTK wrote:Reason the policy makers think it is luxury to buy optical sights and night scopes because; none of their son's or son-in-laws are in in the army.

As for the small arms being procured AK 203 and Sig Sauer are not coming with some of the available enhancements for the weapons.
I disagree entirely. Optical sights? Can someone elaborate what exactly do you mean by that? Any sight, other than human is by definition optical. If you’re talking standard issue MARS sights, they come in handy engaging through moderate terrain and at a distance. Have always found them to take away from SA in CQC. As for NVGs, again, limited utility and not everyone needs to have them. I would much rather spend more in more training, higher quality fire arms, cornershots and body armor.ks_sachin wrote:No. The fault is the top brass.VinodTK wrote:

We tend to look for the big ticket items while taking the grunt for granted.
Even now we see the SF and RR getting goodies but regular inf is now in the line of fire in Ladakh.
I agree. Mine was a more general rant. I feel the reg inf has been neglected though. And it is not the babudom but Inf Directorate...Rs_singh wrote:I disagree entirely. Optical sights?
