India may use BrahMos for cross-LoC strikes

[deep_blue]

The loc fence is build 200-300m away inside the Indian territory in order to check the fence the soldiers have to go to the other side of the fence even though they are still in Indian territory they are prone to attack as they are ahead of the fence.
I hope you get me.

Kashimir is a disputed territory not "Indian"territory.thats the real case.

India Test-Fires BrahMos Supersonic Cruise Land Attack Missile
NEW DELHI (Sputnik) — The Indian army successfully carried out two tests of an upgraded version of the BrahMos missile over the past two days, the press service of the Indian Defense Ministry said in a statement Wednesday.


"South Western Command’s Corps ‘Strike One’ successfully carried out the firing of the advanced BRAHMOS Block III land attack cruise missile system in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands on the 3rd of May 2017 for the second consecutive day. The successive launches reinforce the formidable weapon’s precision strike capability," the statement reads.

The Indian Defense Ministry added that this launch was the fifth successful test of the Block III version of BrahMos in a row, which is "an incredible feat not achieved by any other weapon system of its genre."

Russia, India in Talks on Creating New Models of BrahMos Missiles – Putin’s Aide
BrahMos, a word combining Brahmaputra and Moscow, is a short-range supersonic missile, which has been used by the Indian Navy since 2005. The missile can carry a conventional warhead of up to 660 pounds. BrahMos missiles can also be launched from submarines, as well as aircraft and land-based launchers.


BrahMos Aerospace, the developer of the missile, was formed by India’s Defense Research and Development Organization and Russia’s NPO Mashinostroyenia in 1998. It produces weapons systems using Russian and Indian technologies.

Sir, a fanatical, deranged mentality doesn't look at the rational logic of cost/benefit analysis. They might do it, just to show off to their countrymen. I wouldn't put anything past them really.

Agreed.

Max they will do is sneak 20 meters inside loc .. fire 2 3 shits (typo: i meant shots)and run away. (The one who may b able to) like last time...

Pak shud immediately open up with heavy artillary this time and keep airstrikes and missiles in reserve ... if they reply with artillary again escalate mbrls or even airstrikes ... if they make an airstrike hit the air base... lets take it to modis home

The last time someone's Tomahawks landed in our backyard, we reverse engineered them. BrahMos units landing in our territory would be nothing short of a godsend seeing as we have nothing close to a scramjet powered, supersonic cruise missile.
That being said, it isn't happening. This chest beating and hysteria is for public consumption only.

Why India will use a expensive as hell weapon for the purpose which should be done by much cheaper weapons like MBRL or Artilery shells? Brahmos, as a number of PDF veterans have correctly pointed out, is primarily an anti-ship missile, it makes sense to use a 1.5 to 2 million missile to sink a 5-10 million worth boat. Why to destroy a bunker will you use a 2 million dollar worth weapon?

Get ready for another surgical strike pakistan

Niamat Allah Shah Wali had said, "Bakal (baniya) will start a war on the basis of false accusation".

I wouldn't be surprised if mindless clowns in India make imaginary mutilation of soldiers as an excuse to start first limited war.

Limited war leading to second full-scale war would be GhazwatulHind.

I read that book too but i dont specualte that sort of things happening now . Maybe after a decade or even before .

 

[Safriz]

Brahmos corporation being a private business who exists to make profit , might as well pay Indian generals to fire Brahmos across LOC...or at least pay day dreamers like Ajay Shukla to write such absurd articles.
But hey...we have our " Ghulails" and pebbles ready in response.... We do not have Raad , Babur ...or do we?

 

[jermankill]

just do it i m all for it this story should have end at once for all..... every other day just blah blah blah nothing practical
yeh gedar bobki kesi aur ko ja k do bc we 'll no't buy it
Zaat d koor keerli tey chateera no japhay

If Pakistan not betray

it was not Pakistan but benzir bhotto ho betrayed
anyways it is past now so forget it

 

[Mrc]

timing is interesting.. the purpose may be

1- to confound and take attention away from confessions of ehsan ullah ehsan about Indian involvement in terrorism
2- release pressure from western front where Indian proxies seems to be surrendering in droves
3- may b take advantage of political uncertainty in Pakistan


I still believe any provocation should be responded not in like but in escalated manner... make it short and sweet....so attention does not go away from western front....

The land of fairy tales aka ( Bollywood) speaks again lolz lamo try it and see what happens !!

A range of retaliatory measures are being weighed by India’s generals, including attacks by ground forces on Pakistani posts, or strikes by aircraft, missiles or massed artillery guns, reports Ajai Shukla.


The Army has begun weighing its options to retaliate against Pakistani forces on the Line of Control, after their troops, employing jihadi extremists, killed and beheaded two Indian soldiers near Poonch on Monday, top generals said.

It is learnt that the incident took place when an Indian patrol of 8-10 soldiers was checking the border fence, a perilous task involving physically moving along the fence, very close to the LoC, to check that it has not been cut or its electronic sensors damaged.

According to the modus operandi of Pakistani troops on forward LoC posts, the exposed patrol first came under intense fire from automatic weapons, which Pakistani soldiers had stealthily deployed in temporary positions, just across the LoC.

With two Indian jawans injured in the firing, a ‘border action team’, comprising jihadi fighters, darted across the LoC to the border fence. Covered by the Pakistan army’s firing, the jihadis killed the two jawans, beheaded them, and returned to their side of the LoC, bearing the heads as trophies.

The employment of a BAT is a well-rehearsed Pakistani tactic that creates deniability by using jihadis to cross into the Indian side.

The employment of a BAT is a well-rehearsed Pakistani tactic that creates deniability by using jihadis to cross into the Indian side. If any jihadis are killed or captured, the Pakistan army disowns it as an infiltration attempt.

Regular soldiers remain on their side of the LoC, firing on Indian posts and patrols to cover the BAT’s move.

A range of retaliatory measures are being weighed by India’s generals, including attacks by ground forces on Pakistani posts, or strikes by aircraft, missiles or massed artillery guns.

Earlier, an Army officer had said that there was a ceasefire violation in the area and that details are being sought.

“There was no ceasefire violation along the LoC in Poonch. It was speculative fire,” an army officer of northern command said.

Speculative fire is normally used to check movement of suspicious persons along the border.

Army Vice-Chief Lieutenant General Sarath Chand, on Tuesday, said, "Humko kya karna hai woh hum yahaan bataana nahin chahte hain. Apni karyavahi hum apne aap karenge, at a time and place of our choice (I don’t want to give out here what we intend to do. We will take action at a time and place of our choice)."


On Monday, the Army's Director General of Military Operations, Lieutenant General A K Bhatt, warned of retaliation during a phone call to his Pakistani counterpart. A defence ministry release stated: ‘The DGMO of the Indian Army conveyed that such a dastardly and inhuman act is beyond any norms of civility and merits unequivocal condemnation and response.'

Defence Minister Arun Jaitley also sounded a warning on Monday, "The country has full confidence and faith in our armed forces, which will react appropriately to this inhuman act. The sacrifice of these soldiers will not go in vain."

However, army sources emphatically rejected Indian media claims -- by India Today TV and Dainik Jagran newspaper -- that the Indian Army had already visited retribution, killing 10 Pakistani soldiers in an attack.

Last September, the Indian Army had retaliated to a jihadi strike on an army post near Uri with multiple cross-LoC ‘surgical strikes’ that are believed to have killed several jihadi fighters and a handful of Pakistani soldiers.

After another attack in November, the Indian Army secretly moved 155 millimetre Bofors guns into forward firing positions, destroying two Pakistani posts in a massed fire assault.

Even so, senior generals admit there are limitations on how much, and how often, Pakistani posts on the LoC can be punished, even in retaliating to an inhuman violation that involved mutilating Indian soldiers.

Inadequate punishment fails to deter Pakistani violations, while an excess could set off a cycle of escalation that could spiral out of control.

Moreover, the Indian military does not have a tri-service plan for immediate retaliation to such incidents.

This would involve pre-selecting Pakistan army or jihadi targets, earmarking the aircraft, missiles, guns or Special Forces to hit them and devising defensive measures for the inevitable Pakistani retaliation.

In what might be an unlinked development, the Army on Tuesday test-fired a BrahMos land-to-land missile, demonstrating what an official release described as ‘the weapon’s unmatched lethality of hitting the centre of a designated target with ‘bull’s eye’ precision’.

The BrahMos would be an important component of any concerted Indian cross-LoC strike capability.
