The Pakistani Army is deploying several battalions of the Mujahid Force Regiment, which is part of its dreaded Border Action Team (BAT), along the Line of Control (LoC) and the International Border to infiltrate terrorists and target Indian security forces.

According to intelligence sources, battalions 641, 647, 654 and 655 are being deployed.


These battalions have targeted Indian security forces earlier as well. Intelligence sources said that security forces deployed on the border have informed the Centre of Pakistan's latest move.

Formed on the lines of Territorial Army in 1963, the Regiment participated in the Indo-Pakistani wars of 1965 and 1971. Now, battalions 641, 647, 654 and 655 have been made permanent.

Defence expert Major General (retired) SP Sinha told India Today that the Army is alert and strong enough to foil any plans of the Mujahid Force Regiment.

"India should give a befitting reply if Mujahid battalions attack our security forces. Heavy artillery should be used to destroy the Regiment's launch pads even before the battalions could act," he said.

Former Director General of Military Operations Lieutenant General (retired) Vinod Bhatia said, "Pakistan has been using the Regiment against India for years because they comprise locals of Azad Kashmir, who are well aware of Kashmir's mountainous terrain. The Indian Army should be alert and decimate the battalions if they try to attack out forces."

Soldiers from the Regiment, SSG and terrorists are usually part of the BAT, which has been involved in several raids across the LoC and mutilation of Indian soldiers. The Regiment was raised to support and supplement the regular Army during national emergencies and wars.

It is tasked with forming part of base of fire in an offensive and assists in providing protection to attack formations, participate in anti-helicopter/anti-parachute dropping operations, protect logistic installations in combat zones and participate in nation building and relief operations.

@BHarwana @Areesh Check this :-), i mean Indians are frightened.. in ko khawabon may bhi Pak Army nazar aa rahi ha...:-):-)
 
Militarily, Pakistan is playing much more freely than it was 2,3 years ago. It just attacked TTP terrorist camps in Afghanistan and captured two mountains back on the Pak-Afghan border. Indians should have clarity who they are provoking and what will result out of it.

Beneficiary of any short-term Pakistan/India fight will be Pakistan as Kashmir movement will heat up and get manpower from this side of the border.

According to them, they can punish Pakistan anytime anywhere with their unlimited resources and firepower! Pakistan is piece of cake for India.
Yes after Sunny Deol now they can pass the script to that Arnab Goswami who can bark louder than any rabid dog out there thus providing security to every Indian watching his show.

Dont know why these idiot indian army generals love to use artillery, they idiots dont know we have most modern guns then them.
 
So is BAT going to do surgical strikes on India as they used to in the past?

Since India has been sponsoring cross-border terrorism in the neighboring countries for more than half a century, I would not be surprised if surgical strikes on Indian terrorist structures continue by BAT...
 
This is how Indian Media defines it--- its the Baba Yayga...... ataang macha deni wali team ----
Magar is video mein ye reporter keh raha hai ke BAT soldiers border cross kar ke Indian soldies ke sar kalam karte hain, kya yahi 'surgical strike' nahi kehlati?
