contd... The First Chindit Operation To continue the narrative in chronological order the operation of the First Chindit Force is briefly mentioned. 77 Brigade was 3,200 strong and was divided into 8 columns. For carrying equipment, reserve ammunition, stores, wireless sets (heavy), batteries...

Chindit account of a Pakistani officer. http://www.defencejournal.com/2002/dec/chindits.htm Six weeks with the Chindits Columnist Lt Col (Retd) Mukhtar Ahmad Gilani recounts his experiences in Burma during World War 2. Introduction A few months after my commission, in July 1943 I was ordered to...

Jana I have no problems with reality. My comments were for Raptor's remark. The Partition in 1947 created a separate nation for the sub-continental muslims. Period. Those who (muslims) remained back in India for whatever reason, have to live in the secular society so created in India (inspite of...

That separate nation was created in the form of Pakistan in 1947, incase you were not aware of this fact.

He just can't debate, unlike other members here whose posts force me to research before posting.

That is the failed carbine version. The trigger in the fore guard pistol grip is to enable firing if the weapon is held by the left hand (in the case of a right handed person), during CQB situations.

What is it? Why are you speechless and trying to hide behind feigned bravado of laugher? Very similar to the nursery rhyme "John John, Yes papa, Eating sugar, No papa, Open your mouth, ha, ha, ha"

So that other growing economies do not catch upwith it and the value of the dollar remains high.

Indicate some evidence to prove your claim?

India cannot violate BD air space for transit. Civilian flights have overflight facility and all military flights have to have prior permission from Bangladesh. All military air space violations are reported/ complained by either nations with each others MEA departments.

Have you wondered why this is happening? Pakistans support to Khalistan was receprocated in Sindh and the Kashmir jihad is being receprocated in Balochistan. This is a never ending story. All this can stop when both the nations sit down and decide to work towards growth and development...

Lol...good one sir.

That is irrelavent. Sino-Indian trade stands at close to $14-15 billion while Sino-Pak trade is $3-4 billion, inspite of China and Pakistan being close strategic partners.

The article and the case highlights the growing pressure on officers especially at battalion level that comes from formation HQs. The unfortunate part is that performance is being judged on the number of kills and weapons captured. In areas where the jihads are dime a dozen i.e 'hot' areas, its...

That is a very familiar reply. However, you really cannot even pretend to do the above when the same is denied to your own people. Now assess PA's performance in NWFP and Balochistan. The jihads/ Balochis fighing there are dimwits when compared to the LTTE. The Sri Lankan army is not a ragtag...

I am not sure of any agreement. The reason Indian planes enter BD air space to land at Agartala is because of the direction of the airstrip, civilian airlines have to inevitably enter BD for the landing approach. It is out of necessity and not out of any false intent.

Why the hysterics? On one hand you call the operational Su-MKI a paper tiger and call the yet to achieve certification/ production JF-17 a threat. If the bison is a dead concept then why is the PAF upgrading Mirage-IIIs to ROSE standards? You have condradicted youeself in each sentence. What...

I think I would know that I'm a former infantry officer.

Lol...guess you are right sir. Sig, You are deviating from discussing the flaws in the Iraqi deployment to the current insurgency. However, here too your figures are flawed. Characteristics of urban guerilla warfare does not permit the deployment of 20,000 insurgents at any level. Such high...

Of course No need to get personal, this just a bloody debate. 2 mech divisons and 1 armd div will push away any force in its way. The point is that large a force was kick back by air power.
