Amid Border Tensions With Pakistan, India Begins Using American Satellite Guided Artillery Shells

New Delhi (Sputnik): The 155mm satellite guided artillery rounds were ordered following the February 2019 military standoff and subsequent border skirmishes between the two nuclear-armed nations.

The Indian army has started to use long-range precision guided artillery ammunition, purchased under an emergency clause in India’s Defence Policy.

News about the deployment of the new M982 Excalibur artillery rounds - developed by Raytheon Missile Systems- was shared with army commanders at a high-level conference in New Delhi, local media reported.

Excalibur artillery rounds 155mm trajectory correctable munitions, also referred to as Course Correctable Fuze, that use GPS technology to accurately guide a shell to its target, facilitating co-ordination in using mid-course flight path correction.


The guided shells have been inducted in the army units guarding the Line of Control, a 435-mile line which marks where the Indian and Pakistani parts of Kashmir begin.


Traditionally tense Pakistani-Indian relations dipped to a new low in February after New Delhi blamed Islamabad for sponsoring terror attacks in Kashmir claimed by terror group Jaish-e-Mohammad. India carried out a retaliatory strike to destroy the group’s infrastructure.

The Kashmir issue dates back to 1947 when both countries became independent from Britain and both claimed the region as belonging to them.

If they have to target civilian populations, what does it matter if these are GPS guided or not!

The chest thumping is being done on targeting civilian populations. Places like authmuqam and Karen which are know tourist sites came under heavy shelling yesterday. The places are that close to Indian watch posts that they can see people walking. I stayed is one such area and Indian personnel in their posts were visible.

Even these shells won't lessen Insecurity built into the DNA of Hindus in India ... always feel to be insecure is their destiny regardless of what type of weapon they bought or build.

 

[RIP Pak LAW]

More damage expected on our side. 30 houses were flattened by Indians army in a single day easily. We need to target their bunkers more in response. Killing 9 of their soldiers was adequate response for now but in future cross firing will be more deadly. Last 2 days events were just testing of these new systems by them.

Yes. That is an incurable disease.

Once I stayed at a hotel in Kiren and next day but one a shell hit the same wing and destroyed part of it. These are clear civilian structures.

 

[undercover JIX]

and they say Pakistan can not use F16 against India as offensive......when we will wake up.

 

[Yaseen1]

i think we should protest with u.s on this as they not allow us to use f16 for offensive against india so it is clear injustice

I don't know why the eff are we silent? Too busy in ahd e wafa shooting?

 

[Cool_Soldier]

American weapons are being used against innocent Kashmiris.
Matter of concern for arm supplier.Where their rules and regulations are gone. US Parliament must take action to stop India against such violation

 

[Areesh]

And what is stopping Pakistan from using similar weapons against India?

As I said. We need to hit back aggressively without showing any mercy or else we woulld taken as weak by this coward enemy

Enough with diplomacy and united nations. Now make your guns do the talking

 

[Pakistan Space Agency]

Pakistan / Mujahideen imported similar artillery shells from Israel in the 1980s and successfully used these against the Soviet Union.
