This video of Maoists explains why the Indian Air Force is ready to use air strikes on its own peopl

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

Armies are not meant to be used against your own citizens, but the Indian state has a long history of doing that anyway, in Kashmir and the northeast. The Air Force tends to stay away from this sort of thing as well, but did famously break from that policy in Aizawl in 1966, attempting to bomb strongholds of the Mizo National Front.

Now, it appears the Air Force is once again planning to go down this road. As part of its anti-Maoist operation in Bastar, the IAF is now prepared to carry outair strikesagainst the extremists in Chhattisgarh. Having conducted drill exercises in the region, on Wednesday, Additional Director General of Police (anti-Naxal operations) R K Vij said the IAF would now be prepared to retaliate from the air if necessary.

Unlike Aizawl, however, this isn't going to involve bombs. Instead, the planned retaliation is primarily a response to Maoist willingness to attack IAF helicopters that are used primarily for rescue operations in the area. In the video above, Maoists can be seen carrying out mock drills with bazookas and heavy artillery to shoot down Indian choppers. “Maoists have often fired at Mi-17s (helicopters). We have lost personnel and people, but we have never retaliated,” Vij toldThe Indian Express. Until now, authorities have been reluctant to fire from the skies, but the attacks on the helicopters, including one that was brought down in 2013, has prompted a change in the policy, which is being termed as "self-defence. It has been reported that on October 13, three IAF helicopters practised strafing a specified area of Bijapur, the heart of the Maoists population in the region.

“Garud commandos of the Indian Air Force practised firing from Mi-17. We are not sitting ducks, we can also attack them. It will help us handle the situation better," Vijadded.

Whatever may be the situation, use of lethal weapons inside our territory is the complete no no. The local police commandos and Central reserve police force are doing a fine job.

We should remember that the foot soldiers of Maoists are misguided people, who took to arms because of complete failure of our own government during the 60s and 70s. The only way of eliminating maoism from our land is by bringing in development in the affected areas and eliminating their leaders.

The reporter is a complete ret@rd. Did he even read the comments that police officer made? All he said was the IAF's Garud unit are practicing DEFENSIVE firing in his area from helos in case they are required to defend the helos from attack- which is nothing new, this has been the established policy for many years now.

This does not mark any change in SOP or the beginning of an air campaign by the IAF against the Maoists.

Maoists are nothing but a bunch of anti-national criminals who are intentionally waging a bloody war against our Motherland and hence all means to eradicate these vermins are totally justifiable!!If i were the IAF ACM i would have ordered my Mi-17s to be accompanied by the Mi-35 gunships!!Killing these fcukers will bring peace to a large portion of our country!!

People of my sort are called nationalists because for us India comes first,always and anytime.I was born and rasied in this country and so were my ancestors.We owe a lot to this country more than what we owe to our own mothers for providing us with free education,reasonable living standard and most of all a safer society to live in.I for one won't tolerate any kind of dissent whether armed or non-violent against my Motherland even if the dissenter is my own blood relative!But i guess you won't understand these feeling because for you religion and Ummah plays a greater role in your life than your own country!!

Well,that doesn't matter because both Sanatan Dharma and India as a whole are synonymous to each other.This is the land where Sanatan Dharma originated and hence this land is our holy land and no Dharmic person in his/her right mind will betray India at the end of the day.For the record,i consider myself a Indian Dharmic!!

Forget about Dharmic,no true Indian worth his salt will ever betray to this land and the ones who do,have got no right to remain alive after that!!Such people do not deserve right to humanity and shitt like that!!

go and declare that in the uno general assembly... let us not constantly hear fakery like "sabh ka saath, sabh ka vikas".

and no Dharmic person in his/her right mind will betray India at the end of the day.

but the dharmic person will believe in a culture of oppression, injustice and perversity of every sort.

here's what some dharmics did ( Delhi's unknown Nirbhaya: Horrifying story of teenager who was tortured and gang-raped for days and then left for dead | Daily Mail Online ).

man, you sanghis are embarrassments to humanity.

Dharmic doesn't equals to barberous religious fanatics!!But yeah,one doesn't need to be a Dharmic person to become a good patriotic citizen.

And you think SIMI and IM are white knights who will show path to Sanghis .Just Looking at ATS ban list why only a particular community blacklisted .FYI am just talking about India forget about countries.

fair enough... dharm doesn't equal barbarity.

But yeah,one doesn't need to be a Dharmic person to become a good patriotic citizen.

true, but my point is that india doesn't need anymore blind patriotism... india needs radical change where the entire social and economic system is changed through a progressive political model.

since my membership began, have i been advocating so-called sharia law??

no, i have been advocating true democracy, socialism, progressivism.

And you think SIMI and IM are white knights who will show path to Sanghis.

you are being unfair... when have i been a advocate of simi or qaeda or isil or taliban or saudia??

didn't you see my many posts condemning the tableeghi jamaat, the deobandis and zakir naik??

Just Looking at ATS ban list why only a particular community blacklisted .FYI am just talking about India forget about countries.

ats is biased... not my delusion but reality... does its ban list have bajrang dal and sri ram sena??

look, i represent socialism/communism and it is from that prism i look at india or pakistan or usa or the war that is happening in syria.
