Pascom was such a blessing for out-station calls. Before pascom we would have to request operator for 3 min or 6 minute call only.

To add to that, there was trend of using cordless phones in 90's and early 2000's also. So as you walk away from the telephone set (say from lounge to garage), you would take out antenna of cordless for good reception, even if call isn't intercepted, the extended antenna would act as a magnet for Sigs Corps Operators sniffing for unwanted wireless transmissions in cantt area and beyond.

I was travelling up kharian cantt from Lahore on an invitation from CO of Punjab regt of 37 Div. I came across a MP Pickup of 17 Div from gujrat onwards who was rushing in right lane with red lights on but not hooter. It was raining and I knew he was going to kharian cantt. He was doing 120 kmph on 100 kmph limit so I understood that driver has been pumped up by an officer sitting next to him on front seat. Rear of pick up was empty and it was lone veh meaning no convoy although I had passed an Armored convoy earlier of some other div.

I thought he can be my pilot and keep clearing way for me till kharian cantt. I don’t need to honk and make way for myself anymore. I was driving civic rebirth so I brought car near his rear and matched his speed. He sped up immediately 😆

I sped up too, keeping a few meters distance. My car was isb registered under a bureaucratic’s name so I knew he wouldn’t feel threatened if I drive close to his rear as if I’m asking way.

Anyways, he kept making way for me till lalam-USA, till I made a gamble of honking at him. As expected, he didn’t budge😁 so I honked again as if I’m asking for way and brought car even closer with high beams and started flickering beams 😆 I knew he wouldn’t give me way still as I was guessing with his speed he wouldn’t change lanes and the officer sitting with him wouldn’t let him give way to me either.

So I made it a shughal though I knew it’s getting risky as it’s raining also and we are speeding at around 120 km/hr 😂 Kher I brought car a little to his right almost on road shoulder on right side and finally he succumbed to the pressure I created and moved one feet to the left so I had to drive near the divider to over take him.

This got risky for me so I decided - no I need more SPace so I honked more with constant flickering of lights 😄 he moved a bit more to the left 😂 I thought I had enough fun, either I over take from his left or I bring my bonnet up ahead like I’m over taking and then ask for more space.

I did the latter 😁 I came forward on his right and put my hand on the horn n pressed it continuously while inching ahead from 120 to 125 km/hr or so 😄

He moved left immediately but didn’t cross into left lane, that was all I needed, I pressed the accelerator and sped past him above 135 km/hr 😄

My heart was racing fast at that time but I enjoyed the thrill of it all hoping I wouldn’t come across him when I enter the cantt from convoy route 😂
 
Did you know that in 1999, Pakistan army crossed the LoC in Kargil & captured 7 heights from India.

Point 5353
Point Aftab-I
Bunker Ridge
Saddle Ridge
Shangruti
Dhalunag
Tiger Hill

Today, Pakistan still hold 6 of these tops. India could only take back one - Tiger hill.

@panzerkeil @Signalian can you verify this
 

Dong Feng armoured vehicle for Pakistan 🇵🇰 army?
Yes, very good purchase. Looks more agile than an MRAP though lesser protection (at least it will be able to traverse more rough terrain). Hope it slowly becomes standard at least in more active zones. Would reduce fatality rate by a lot

All those belonged to us prior to 1971 including what is now called Tiger Hill. In 1971, the Indians did a land grab by taking over those heights (they were either very lightly manned or not manned at all by us).
