Indian Army to move air defence units closer to Pakistan border

[SIPRA]

The talk here in this side of the border is... india is buying it more primarily for conducting tests with its air assets to learn as much as it can about this deadly air defence system...as china already has S400 it leaves india with little choice but to buy it and test it....its secondary usage is of course for its arch enemy pakistan.

I have not an iota of doubt that China is a farce, created by India, to gain favors from US and West. India knows very well that it can never fight China. It's real and primary, not secondary, target is Pakistan and only Pakistan.

Well , I've also doubt about Russian weapons .Russian always talk big but their weapons proved inferior than western countries. Israel don't care about Russian defense system in Syria . They are bombing syria without fear of Russian defense system.

i AM TAKING ABOUT THAT INDIAN CLAIMED THAT BRAHMUOSE IS WORLD FASTEST MISSILES, LOT OF RUSSIAN/CHINESE SUPERSONIC ANTI SHIP MISSILES HAS SIMILAR SPEED OF BRAHMUOSE, AND S-400 IS SERIOUS THREAT FOR PAF WE SHOULD DEVELOPED A TACTICS TO HOW TO COUNTER IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, BUT WE HAVE AN ADVANTAGE THAT CHINA HAVE ALSO S-400 SO WE CAN LEARN ITS WEAKNESS/DRAWBACKS FROM CHINA AND DEVELOPED COUNTERMEASURES/TACTICS AGAINST INDIAN S-400 @Peaceful Civilian

Also turkey is getting S400. We should try to get hands on S400 in both china & turkey to prepare counter tactics.

Indian Army to move air defence units closer to Pakistan border
By ANI | General News | Last Updated at May 14 2019 14:30 IST

After a deep internal review of the recent conflict with Pakistan, the Indian Army is planning to deploy a number of its air defence units close to the border to thwart aerial threats emanating from Pakistan.

"Some of the fighting formations including air defence and other defensive formations are now planned to be moved closer to the borders," top Army sources told ANI.

"With these air defence units deployed closer to the border, we would be able to tackle any possible aerial strike from enemy side and thwart it close to the border itself," they said.

The sources said the location of the air defence units deployed in Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Gujarat and Rajasthan were reviewed by the force and it was felt that a number of them can be moved to forward locations to thwart enemy aerial strikes close to the borders itself.

The air defence assets of the Indian Army include the indigenous Akash air defence missile systems along with the Russian Kvadrat and other old legacy systems. The force is also set to soon receive the latest MR-SAM air defence system which has been produced by the DRDO-Israel joint venture.

After India hit the Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist training camp in Balakot town of Khyber Pakhtunwa province of Pakistan, the neighbouring country launched a big aerial attack in Jammu sector along the Line of Control.

Even though the attack was thwarted by the Air Force air defence fighters including the MiG-21s and the Su-30MKIs and one Pakistani F-16 was also shot down, it was felt that presence of air defence units in the area could have caused more damage to the Pakistanis.

Due to the aggressive response of the Air Force, the Pakistanis could come only a couple of kilometres inside the Indian territory.

The Pakistani air attack on February 27 was in response to the Balakot hits by the Indian Air Force a day earlier.

Near Ladakh for Aksai chin which war happened in past with China .

 

[RIP Pak LAW]

So it's an acceptance that their airforce was incapable of defense against superior Pakistani airforce.

India is planning for another attack.their primary Target is Karachi and bahawalpur.

 

[Meliodas]

Bahawalpur and Karachi is too obvious if they are (which I don't think so) really going to attack

 

[Pubg1]

I like how our army puts every step in the public domain ? Maybe give the GPS locations of all the new positions?

 

[Trango Towers]

Then they might handover these assets to Pakistan, for safe custody.

May come for tea

 

[rambro]

lets hope they dont shoot down their own

And how do you know, Bahawalpur and Karachi has least chance to be an attack, @Arsalan 345

 

[Fawadqasim1]

I was saying because brahmos is fastest missile in the world. Yes that version is in development state. S400 they are going to induct at the end of this year. S400 is headache, due to 72 missiles, 2 each against one target makes almost impossible to escape target. And 400 km area is not small. Will we be able to fly in presence of S400 in 200,300 km border area, this is big headache.

Don't phikar just zikar

I could not understand the language its bangali but look at the depressed trajectory firing of
A300.

They regularly fly caps near Rajasthan and they also activated another air strip near sindh.bahawalpur has more chances of attack because of their obsession with jaish.they will do it again and we must not allow them to enter in our territory.i think they are waiting for elections.another term for modi means disaster for pakistan.look at current situation.i believe if we really killed their su-30 than they will do something to take revenge.even on 28 Feb,they wanted to attack Karachi so it's clear that they selected targets in Karachi.i don't know if it's a military target or religious building.
