    Just How Effective Is VBIEDs Against Armor

    From the force of the blast, It seems like the men in Humvees will surely be dead. MRAPs and Tanks may hold better but the force of the blast would probably kill some if not all the crew. There's no hard and fast formula here. The effectiveness of an IED is notoriously sketchy, it could be...

    Same, I'm happy with POF offerings. Have had some misfires with older personal ammo but hardly ever with fresh service ammo.

    Actually we've gone through that phase, then survived the proxies battle for control phase and are now entering redress stage. And then, the world decided that Syria needed more democracy.

    Indian border forces kill 60-year-old 'Pakistani' woman for 'trespassing'

    If it was the LOC, I would be prepared to give the Indians the benefit of doubt since border infiltration is a concern that India maintains in that region. However, there is no such issue along the working boundary, there has been no crossing attempt in the past and its generally sealed shut...

    Indian border forces kill 60-year-old 'Pakistani' woman for 'trespassing'

    Maybe the patriotic bullet in the BSF soldier's rifle smelled a Pakistani nearby and fired on its own. Who knows, since we're pulling stuff out of our ***, might as well go all in.

    Protestors led by PTI's Ayesha Gulalai storm PESCO office

    These guys still haven't fully come to terms with the fact that they are the government in KPK! Which government stages sit-ins and demonstrations in their own mandate?

    Indian border forces kill 60-year-old 'Pakistani' woman for 'trespassing'

    Border surveillance is not all pervasive. Rangers know that no one is going to go through three fences and multiple rolls of razor wire. Funny how all the Indians so far have referred to the the one incident that I already referred to in my first post. In contrast, I could overload the server...

    Indian border forces kill 60-year-old 'Pakistani' woman for 'trespassing'

    I didn't say they would leave him alive, I said they would use the element of surprise on the main body first. They wouldn't give away their position to the main body bu shooting the single soldier and being decimated in return.

    Indian border forces kill 60-year-old 'Pakistani' woman for 'trespassing'

    Shooting at the legs would have been a more preferred approach but even then, I must stress that unless there was a risk that the fence was being breached, they could have notified the Rangers to check out the activity on their side. These are risks that need to be taken. In any case, if I...

    Vocal Calls, Thermal Signatures, Even send a single guy to inquire. Yes I am aware that terrorists can use decoys. They have lost their humanity though, we haven't. That is the same incident that I was referring to.

    Indian border forces kill 60-year-old 'Pakistani' woman for 'trespassing'

    Unless it was this, I think they could have trusted that the fence will hold them back. There's that and also the fact that the BSF has never been put on the spot for these killings. They have a terrible record on the Bangladesh Border as well, no terrorists coming from there though.

    ICJ hearing on Kulbhushan Jadhav case : News, Updates & Discussions

    The simple logistical and security challenges involved, especially when ventured against the minimal returns that any such attempt would present. If he was a Pakistani military officer who was in the country on a fake passport and without a valid visa. I'm sure he was asking for it.
