India: Army 'mistook planets for spy drones'

[Areesh]

India's army reportedly spent six months watching "Chinese spy drones" violating its air space, only to find out they were actually Jupiter and Venus.

Tensions have been high in the disputed Himalayan border area between the two nations in recent years, with India frequently accusing its neighbour of making incursions onto its territory. Things came to a head during a stand-off in April when Chinese troops were accused of erecting a camp on the Indian side of the de facto boundary known as the Line of Actual Control (LAC). By that stage, Indian troops had already documented 329 sightings of unidentified objects over a lake in the border region, between last August and February, according to the Calcutta-based Telegraph.

It quotes military sources as saying the objects violated the LAC 155 times. So, the army called the Indian Institute of Astrophysics to identify the objects. "Our task was to determine whether these unidentified objects were celestial or terrestrial," astronomer Tushar Prabhu told the paper. Only once the objects' movements were noted in relation to the stars were they identified as planets. The Telegraph suggests the sentry ought to be forgiven, with planets appearing brighter as a result of the different atmosphere at altitude and the increased use of surveillance drones.

ISI may not have drone tech yet. But Chinese may have. Naturally these sentries mistook the planets for a drone.

So true (sarcasm)... although Pakistan develops n produces much more advanced UAVs unlike india..

P.S = Planets arent DRONES!

Haha... kid.. reality hurts..

Also u can buy a (star) sun fit it with israeli supplied stuff... call n indigenous and use it for spying....

 

[AUSTERLITZ]

Lol,IA really cracked it up this time.
But looking seriously,yeah soldiers are simple hard men..they are not physics geniuses.

India soup powa should soon have technology to go bomb Venus and Jupiter and steal all their lead and hydrogen

You should open a different thread on "Pakistani produced & developed drones". Lets have a discussion there. It will be fun

lmao thank you god for this article, i think pakistan is going to be just fine since this is our enemy.

ISI may not have drone tech yet. But Chinese may have. Naturally these sentries mistook the planets for a drone.

lmao, isi has better drone tech then india, i can tell you that.

Lol,IA really cracked it up this time.

for 6 months tho lmao, these should be discharged immediately lol.

Nope as i said,soldiers are not astrologers.They fight...not investigate celestial bodies.
