Jammu & Kashmir live updates: GOI remove all provisions of Article 370

Okay some unconfirmed news updates discussed partially with @nair

We have made the opposing side vacate more points along Uri-Tangdhar and now operations are ongoing along Poonch-Mendhar to 'modify' the 'tactical' situation so that we can better dominate the area. Reports of few local unit level incursions into POJ&K to 'incentivize' vacation of forward posts by Pakistan Army, are being received. Details not clear, sorry.

Casualties on Pakistani side are reported to have been heavy, a spike in official reporting will be seen in next week, seeing the trend. Own casualties are reportedly 1 KIA plus couple lightly wounded with at least one seriously injured. Not sure about the exact figures, but relatively light keeping in mind the magnitude and scope of operations. Ingress were well executed and exfil was always to be a hot issue.
As usual I loved the succinct and delicate phrases of official language.

I aim to please Sir.

As for the OSINT handle .... that post was factually in correct. No breakthrough has been achieved as it was not aimed for. We merely have tactically improved our position without disturbing the LoC. The GoI has, as till date, not declared LoC as null and void. Sans political directive, we will remain on our side of LC while undertaking necessary operations as we deem fit, in our territory on the other side :D

Tactically, I think the IA has improved a lot since the past few years. Back in, say 2014 or 2015, we would have had dozens of casualties if we conducted operations of this magnetude.
I thinnk that the training philosophies of the army have improved a lot.
Any opinions @vstol Jockey @Falcon

I disagree. We would always do such operations well. Only difference, now you are coming to know of them :)

From the axis which you posted, it becomes very clear that they want to push the LOC further west while the Hajipir bulge stays. Once we make it deeper, we can cut it off completely. Most likely moving forward on Uri-Tangdhar and Poonch-Mendhar axis will force Pakistan to vacate that area on their own.


Sir.

Absolutely no idea of what you speak .... :unsure:
 
kay thanks. But back then, we did not use howitzers and other artillery as we do now.
But, I'm just a 16 year old civvie. All this is my opinion

Back then we had a Ceasefire agreed since 2003. And we did use Krasnopol when we did. :)
 
What is happening in LOc has to be viewed in larger perspective.... Not the old tit for that CFV..... This game is now large, from both sides...

Pakistan wont bother loosing men ( I always felt they treat them like an acceptable cost to be paid for their game of being the most powerful institution. In their country) for them they need larger audience and want world to see this as an issue.... Even though they twisted every thing yesterday they know nothing much is expected from a close door meeting....


Niazi and gang should realise if they are ok in loosing men we not either ( in inflicting the cost)...Our diplomacy has matured multiple folds and they still remain in their old tactics of being in bed wit a P5 member and getting help.... This is new India

Are we occupying these areas?
 
Radio Intercepts reveals one of the reasons for the apparent desperation by PA to infiltrate into Indian side of LOC.

There is a desperate shortage of weapons and ammunition, especially explosives, among local already infiltrated militants. The existing ammunition dumps are too risky to access and several OGWs have been ambushed trying to secure older dumps. Hence the desperation to push in new caches, through high risk innovative approaches if needed. A number of SSG and BAT attempts have been aimed at gun running and not counter assaults like before. As long as a sizeable cache of equipment doesn't enter JK the militants stand unable to execute existing directives of causing adequate mayhem in the valley.

Just for perspective, it is estimated that it took roughly a week to 10 days for the explosives (80kg TnT equivalent) to be moved and prepared for the Pulwama attack, and involved an entire unit of OGWs.

ISI is trying to establish contact with existing gun running networks of militants and smugglers to get at least some weapons into JK. All roads leading to JK are on high alert for any weapon Intercepts.

If true then its another hint that open warfare is not on the cards .. For now
 
No clue sir.
Please see the map below. The arrows show the thrust axis as stated by you. The arrows around HAJIPIR show what happens to that area if we advance along Uri-Tangdhar and Poonch-Mendhar. It cuts out all the bulges which are along the LOC and after that the hills are at lower elevation. This will help us dominate the entire front right upto the actual old border of J&K state which used to overlook Rawalpindi and Islamabad.
