There was a TV progrram on Pakistan Chanels called Mahaz where The URI sector was shown
The Colonel explains the security arrangements on PAKISTANI side of the LOC
He clearly tells about Mines which have been planted
Now for any group to come in India they must be told of the Waypoints in order to
prevent hem from stepping on those Mines
This explains the official HELP to these infiltrators
Stephen, you quoted me in morning I avoided replying. Because you have no idea and right now ignorance of many like you has allowed even Indians here looking more silly than they usually do. There is a very strong competition between members of both sides who are silly and getting sillier, and for me, it is very toxic.
In a mountain, no mine stays static. Rains, snows, landslides, slides, avalanche, rockfall, rains ... anything can cause their position to shift.
You get only a map marked wherein mine fields have been laid. Thence, it is a question of making your way through. The militants come with a HHMD. It is the responsibility of the launch commander to arrange it. The frequencies of ours side are monitored and ingress kept under observation with Thermal Imager. There is a pattern of UAV overflight prior to ingress. They observe and send a recce party two three times before an actual crossing of LC is undertaken. The launch pad is SEPARATE from a Pakistani Post except in difficult geographical locations.
At places, one can literally walk through the minefield and see the mines lying over ground, you don't need a guide at majority of the places.
Coming back. Please, just answer, how did the militants get into the camp? If I can give you exactly how the ingress is done, what stops us from being able to stop it? Can you answer that?
Forget about costs. I said on day one, launch pads will be hit, cost will be exacted. But you guys have gone hysteric ... it is funny to see retired generals screaming war .. ask them why they did not go to war when Pakistan didn't have nukes?
Modi started on a peace plan. Unfortunately, we have lost one of the biggest opportunities at peace. Whosoever on the other side has played his/her cards, has damaged the relationship forever. The idiot brigade rules supreme today on both sides. WAR WAR is the mantra .
And you know what is going to happen?
China will lean on Pakistan (CPEC is way too important), Modi will look a fool politically and loose credibility, NS is expendable, he will get shunted out and PA will claim another betrayal and maybe put his hide in display in a PN ship's wardroom this time and PA comes out top, and we are back to square one.
Great going
