They have some thought on countering IBG. Will answer in detail if I get time.
The open source data indicates a max range of 53 with rocket assisted projectiles. This shall give them a substantial depth in terms of range, for Defensive Fire tasking.
It may also be to compound Indian calculations over reported ability of Pakistan to miniaturize their nuclear projectiles to be compatible to 155 mm, thereby create a 'doubt' over war planners on own side.
That said, their focus for defence will be on area denial through artillery support. At present the Brigade composition on either side of the border is roughly same with roughly similar allocation of support elements (including armour, artillery). The difference will always be in logistics and the ability to switch your forces to change the thrust of an attack. This is why, the IBGs, although purported to be 'tailor made' to operate within certain operational environment, have been given an inherent flexibility in their roles.
It seems you are trying to hire a spook here who can solve the puzzle that
@Falcon Hellfire and Baba are one and the same
Nope. But he is around now.
Chinese maal, dubious specs.
Let them get it in position. Mountains aren't the best place to deploy a 70 tonne Self Propelled Gun-Howitzer. Not to mention it is rather untested. Especially in the environment it is supposed to operate.
So you have arrived on the forum with this astute observation. Great. Would not agree fully with the dubious specs, but agree with the rest of the post here.
I doubt it will escalate to MBRL. Besides, we have K-9 but I doubt these weapons are suitable for LoC kind of warfare. M-777 is the best one which can be easily transported in LoC scenario.
No differences of view here
IBGs would be Terrain and Task Specific
They cannot be shifted
Once an IBG starts its movement it cannot
"Feign " an attack
That will give away its Size and Composition and the Sector where it will attack
Incorrect. Answered in brief earlier.
Since we are doing the IBGs, they plan to use artillery to counter it. I suppose the idea is they will counter our brigades with brigades of their own.
Of course, one can say they are also giving us targets for our new Nag, MPATGM, SANT etc.
They still have a heavy reliance on HAT and LAT battalions to counter the armored thrusts.
BAT attacks are led by SSG
Not always. But lately they have been found in increasing numbers as the other side looks to shore up poor tactical expertise & adeptness.
See , what I have understood is that
" Seeing the Enemy " has become the Most important aspect of this conflict
Since we have much larger manpower
ie eyes and boots on the ground
and Reconnaissance Assets in Air
we are able to locate them earlier and then knock them out with precision
Not always, and not 100%. But thanks to SATA (UAVs) & good sensors, usually we are able to. But there are ways to confuse these measures too. Small example, a PNVG can be 'blinded' by flares.
I am a farmer. I think simple things. Things like when seeds were sown. When and where the water was given. And when were the crops harvested. Also, not all plants grow the same. Look at the field not the plants.
If it is getting too stupid or atrocious, say it. I will say things simply. Till then let me have some fun too, Saar!
Was expected.
Another Baba Fan
Not exactly.
