1. #Afghanistan #IndianArmyInAfghanistan will prove to be the biggest ambush site for India Army. Taliban, Pakistan ISI, home Pakistani terrorists & locals WILL ALL LOOK ALIKE. While Indian Army will be in camps, the entire country will give free run to killers.
2. #Afghanistan #IndianArmyInAfghanistan It will be the most hostile land for Army. No one can be trusted. Launching operations on ‘information’ will lead most troops to killing areas of terrorists. God sent opportunity for Pakistan. They don’t have to take risk in Kashmir.
3. #Afghanistan #IndianArmyInAfghanistan Securing lines of communication, providing protection to convoys, protecting camps & having equipment permitting night operations is biggest challenge. We are a THIRD WORLD ARMY. Only strength we have is manpower.They will die in hundreds.
4. #Afghanistan #IndianArmyInAfghanistan Today we have the weakest military leaders with even worse courage and character. This is dangerous for men. They are products of counter insurgency. Most had put in 10-12 years service when Kashmir erupted. Experience? Chair bound.
5. #Afghanistan #IndianArmyInAfghanistan Indian Army has been dragged into counter insurgency. It is a conventional army for a specific role. Today, counter insurgency seems as ONLY role of army. Afghanistan is nothing else but CI, albeit in an alien land, pushed by bureaucracy.
6. #Afghanistan #IndianArmyInAfghanistan A THIRD WORLD ARMY has a third world mindset. From perimeter fence to air support, UAV to 100% night operations, we are neither equipped not trained. We will look as global fools with no military minds. We have no concept of jointness.
7. #Afghanistan #IndianArmyInAfghanistan The closest we have got to jointness is maroon epaulettes a month back. We have CAG flogging MoD for not providing gloves, goggles & socks to troops in Siachen. Did you hear even one word about it from Chief, Army Corps or Div Commander?
8. LAST #Afghanistan #IndianArmyInAfghanistan STOP ASKING "HOW IS THE JOSH?"!! Better ask "HOW IS THE BUREAUCRACY??" "HOW IS THE DEFENCE MINISTER??" and BTW where is #OP5P ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
9. Logistics and Support #Afghanistan #IndianArmyInAfghanistan Russia rolled into Afghanistan via land frontiers. US had Iraq, UAE and puppet state Pakistan sharing land frontiers. Both superpowers had firm footing on land. India? Hostile Pakistan to Afghanistans east....
10. Logistics and Support #Afghanistan #IndianArmyInAfghanistan Hostile border to west, hostile seas to south and a no-go frontier to North. So we use Air and Navy. Base? Some town on west coast. Hostility begins soon as we leave our maritime boundary & continues till we re-enter
11. Logistics and Support #Afghanistan #IndianArmyInAfghanistan The cost of supporting troops in Siaichen will look to be pocket money when compared to Afghanistan. Army will be ever ready due to ACRs, Blue Cap, Money and rib bands. Not one Commander will speak.
12. Logistics and Support #Afghanistan #IndianArmyInAfghanistan Be rest assured that the entire force will be supported by air and the returning aircraft’s will bring back endless coffins. #BiRa will be made scapegoat. Rightly so if he doesn’t speak NOW.
