Looks like a major attack was thwarted by brave and timely action of Indian Army. So what all items and why were these four guys carrying so much stuff. Let’s see :

1. Assault Rifles : Looks like normal AK47 (Russian), AK56 (Chinese) and few Type 81 (Chinese). For them to ..
carry all this means -
i) were to meet some more terrorists and carry out coordinated attacks. These guys were brining in arms and ammo for them too.
ii) they were planning to hide out for long in the area. Place lot of weapons at different places. Get them from time to time,
attack, dispose off weapon and vanish in crowd.
Security forces and Int agencies on ground would know better.

2. Plastic wrapped means they i)crossed a water body with weapons on them
ii) or They were planning to
iii) the weapons were under land and snow for some time
3. Single UBGL ( Under barrel grenade launcher ) with grenades and HE grenades ( look Chinese ) show they were ready for a pitched fight. Also, grenade throwing in ok loc places or security forces camps could be one of their plans.

4. Pistols , all covered in plastic kind of ..
prove the crossing water body theory. Though they are covered but seem to be Chinese .32 / Type 54. But can’t really say. Guessing here.

5. Top left - seems like Chocolate Mars bars and top right looks like bag of Dates and some canned food. High every food, good for short time
but can’t endlessly sustain on that. So this could very well have been a suicide attack since they were heavy on explosives and almost nothing on basic food supplies.

6. Some watches ( personal ) , a radio set battery charger ( right on top of AKs) basic medical supplies and
what looks like some makeshift detonators (white ones). Though not clear enough to judge precisely.

7. Fired cases and ammo at bottom left of screen.

IMO, this could’ve been a very heavy attack given the number of terrorists and equipment they were carrying. If they would’ve
been able to gain entry and hole themselves in, could’ve led to serious casualties.

Once again, salute to the brave hearts who caught them, fought them and annihilated them. Jai Hind !

BREAKING #NagrotaAttack #OSINT

A dear friend sent this image with a smiley and said - connect the dots. So I got onto it !

Its a brilliant breakthrough to prove yet again, Pak sponsored terrorism.

The phone belongs to company called MEI, in Pakistan. Mei.com.pk Image
Here are some insights :
1. The company specialises in making communication equipment. In my yesterday’s analysis, I pointed out that there was a charger present which now looks a lot like Multi slot version of the one one shown in their brochure.
2. The bands given are.. Image
banned in India, this making tracing the communication within India nearly impossible.

3. One of their offices is INSIDE Lahore Cantt. If they were equipped there, the distance from Lahore to launching point near Nagrota is much of a stretch. This also can link how the company Image

As these fine gentlemen of 139th course walk through the Quarter Deck in Parade Ground of National Defence Academy, it’s a good moment to share something I wrote about #NDA long time back.

1. Being hungry is state of mind. If you missed your meal and

end up mentioning it, you’ll be made to do more exercise to forget about it.

2. Everything is mental. Only academics , academics are physical. If you don’t remember what is the answer to a question in exam, just shout your squadron name, it’ll come galloping to your
mind. Like shouting “Limaaaaa” in my case ensured I passed all my exams. Such battles cries in otherwise Peaceful and quaint exam halls are not considered weird.

3. Sports like hockey, football, basketball etc have a component called ‘ball’ in them just to distract you

#FactCheck
Firstly : Honorary General, not Chief. How can Chief be honorary ? A rank can be honorary in Army, Not appointment.
Secondly : this has been a tradition since 1950, when Gen KM Cariappa was conferred with this honor. It’s nothing new or ‘big step’.
Thirdly : Even
Nepalese Army Chief is conferred with Honorary General’s rank in Indian Army. Last ceremony to this effect was in Jan 2019, when Nepalese COAS Purna Chandra Thapa was honoured with Honorary General’s rank by Indian President in Delhi, India.
#Traditions

And it’s not Royal Nepal Army anymore. It’s Nepalese Army which stand around one lakh strong. It stopped being Royal after monarchy was abolished in Nepal after nearly 250 years. Before RNA it used to be called Gurkha Army, when it was established in 1768. HQ in Kathmandu.

Let me try and take a dig at the interesting state of Geopolitics today.
Pakistan is jumping around threatening others on behest of Turkey, seeing its arch rival India busy with China ( who has extended full support to Pakistan). Turkey has locked horns with France, Greece,
Armenia and one faction in Libya where it’s against UAE backed forces. Turkey is backing Azerbaijan against Armenia, but Azeris also get tons of weapons from Israel who are best buddies with india, who are also best buddies with Russia who is also friends with China. China,
is fingering almost everyone around the region right from India to Vietnam and can only be contained properly by US, where the outcome of elections will decide the China policy. China is also eager to know the results. US now has started backing India and gone ahead with BECA

Ability and plan to rotate troops is direct indicator that :
1. The deployment is there to stay.
2. All supporting (combat and non) elements of military will come into play, hence more infrastructure build up is sure and imminent.
3. Logistics are backbone of any military..
operation and deployment. Hence, by shortening supply lines, building more infra and having reserve troops at base in rear, China has indeed fortified itself better.
4. The longer Chinese stay in this area, they do gain in training, acclimatisation and familiarity with terrain..
in general, something Indian forces had a definite advantage in.
5. The build up region will now make China focus hard on this area, especially in terms of surveillance and Intelligence gathering.

Not that it comes as a surprise to Indian side, because these are basic..
