lifted in pieces

It's a good idea to add more firepower . But what we desperately need is UCAV and attack helicopters .

A drone provide the position and trajectory and gunner set the target...very simple , cheap and all weather move.

 

[RIP Pak LAW]

this mountain peak is just opposite to Afghanistan's lawless region Nanghaar so very important strategic location.

Not the highest. Indian Army has 3 full regiments of tanks deployed in Eastern Ladakh at heights of 4000m and above

A noob question,
How they start up the engine at such freezing temperature? If the tank is deployed in fix position, it still need to have its hydraulics and electronics working to engage the target, what is the power source, if engine is powered off?

Thank you in advance

Not a good idea

A tank is a mobile artillery piece and should not be deployed in a circumstance where’s it unqiue advantage is nullified

If you are going to use a tank as a fixed artillery piece something is wrong

However it’s only one tank not a entire division and it’s old version

as such it provides a good learning and training experience most likely firing in a downward elevation something tanks rarely do and this is why it was probably deployed there in the first place

These are used for power projection, not to keep the soldiers warm. A group of terrorists would think twice before attacking a position with tanks deployed.

RAWALPINDI - Pakistan Army has made historic World Record by deploying the Battle Tank at 12,000 feet height, which is unprecedented in the military history.

Pakistan Army has again proved that it is among the best armed forces in the world.

It has made a world record by deploying tanks on the highest elevation level of 12,000 feet above sea level. This is the feat that has remained unaccomplished otherwise.

The deployment has come as part of the Pak Army’s strategy in the war against the terrorists. The step has been undertaken by the armored regiment of Pakistan Armored Corps.

The tanks made their way to Brekh Muhammad Kandao Pass, a part of the Koh-e-Safed, which is 3,176 meters above the sea level and is opposite to Torra Bora mountains of Afghanistan’s Nangarhar province.

It looks like it's being used as an immovable firing post - a howitzer would have been more sensible, right?

I think I'd be more impressed with a story about the challenge for the tank to deploy at that altitude - and the story of the soldiers who pulled it off.

Also not so thrilled with the "capture" of the peak last year - it puts the lie to Pakistan's claims of non-aggression.

they dont want to admit it but Pakistan has done more then ever of its fair share of fighting terrorists and defeating them. SO much so so american soldiers are getting counter insurgency trainning by PA.

but its just easier to blame Pakistan for all US failures in Afghanistan. They needed a bogeyman in the reigion and that was Pakistan.

India has done nothing for AFg in the last 17 years except spread, financie and arm systematic terrorism into Pakistan. Yet they are the victimes not us.

It is good but it is better to deploy snipers and ordinary portable artillery at such places as they are much easy to move than tanks
