It’s very nonsensical IMO for the IA to operate the way it does now, and shows a clear decline in the cognitive ability and generalship of the indian army.
In the early stages of the insurgency, all the way till the second phase was destroyed, the Indian military used HUMINT and established a reliable intel networks amongst locals which led to killings of large amount of insurgents and groups being wiped out from the maps.
What the army did not have an advantage in equipment it made up for in tactical acumen and planning.
The army in 2024 has neither the tech advantage nor the intel.
The issue is probably lack of experience (IA fought many conflicts in 80s that seasoned it as compared to 2000s)
