I read somewhere of an operation where our boys were stranded in some remote corner of Gilgit for some 6 months holding out despite low ammo or no ammo where repeated attempts to supply them by the IA were thwarted by the Gilgit Scouts and the PA during the 1948 war due to the inhospitable terrain . The precise details escape me but the officer / soldier in question was of Gorkha origin and was probably the sole survivor taken PoW by the PA after his surrender and stay in Pakistan having a gallantry medal conferred on him ( VC / MVC?) By the GoI.

The point behind raking this up is while the IA is certainly not what it used to be in 1948 but the same could get said of the PA. Plus we have to factor in a heavily armed hostile civilian population with the possibility of guerrilla warfare. In the light of all this, will you still maintain that we'd be on the gates of Wakhan within 2-3 weeks whether it means crossing hills or plains or both and fording rivers too.

Brigadier Sher Jung Thapa. He held Skardu for months under siege till he ran out of ammo and food. Upon surrender all his troops were killed, a British officer on deputation to Pak Army managed to stop his killing.

Then Lt Col and later Brig SJ Thapa, MVC

Wiping off insurgency can be a few days task, establishing a military corridor a matter of couple of days. Remember, if weapons are borne by civilians, they are fair game, and that shall be the case in guerrilla warfare.

I am interested in knowing given that our military has not executed any such operation recently (last 2 decades) on what basis are these estimations based on ? During kargil , military said they will evict intruders in a week or two then the operation stretched to 3 months.

Even though we conduct wargames/military exercises, simulations...etc we might not have full picture of our own capability & strength vis-a-vis to the enemy.

Out of curiosity I want to turn around the question a bit and ask , as a military person what would be your reaction if a civilian says they can deliver a fighter jet/sub..etc in next year. Would military go to war on the assumption that they will get the promised hardware or would they say we don't believe in bakwas .......:giggle:

Good move by GOI, there some ppl on twitter as well who call themselves as journalists are spreading the FUD. There needs to accountability on journalists side as well they cannot be allowed to spread fake news for their few mins of fame.

These ppl need to be asked to show the proof , if they dont their accreditation for reporting news from India should be revoked.

Great news PAF deployed JF-17 on forward post.

I request to my Pak brothers before beating any pilot to death just confirm his identity first. If he speaks fluent eng he must be Banya if his eng is limited to "Inshallah Boys played well" then he is one of us.

Pakistan Zindabad! (

It sounds more like a confession 😂
 
See riots in action

End result, on Eid the two families which lived off denying Kashmir prosperity for decades, fought verbally to the extend, till they had to be separated in separate guest house.... I hope they said Eid Mubarak to each other
I can understand loss of business(at Kashmiri expense) can be painful
