So everyone's gonna ignore the fact that IA has deployed almost battalion level special forces strength in jammu region? wtf

Is this number in addition to the previously operating units or is this the total strength of SF operating in Jammu division right now ?

In addition to most probably because this SF deployment is part of (but individual) brigade deployment (3000 troops) in jammu region. There has been seen a lot of movement in last 2-3 days so ig It was coming

Only 2 scenarios...
1. Either something big like our version of zarb e asab (which looks 100% unlikely)
2. To send more para guys into each encounter to fast finish ops... and make them proper infantry (which they kinda already are)

Ig it's more apt to compare it with operation sarp vinash no ? zarb-e-asab was a fucking huge deployment while sarp vinash had around a division strength involving seven battalions and two brigade hq spearheaded by 9 para providing the SF element.

True pakis had used tanks, APCs, IFVs, fighter jets, attack helicopters, artillery during zarb e asab... credit where due it was an awesome operation which shows how much they learned from GWOT and murica.. I remember reading an ex-SSG col article where he described their role in that op.. he said that rebels were concentrated in mountains just like our scenario. (Just 100-200x more in number). They had high level humint intelligence (more than army) so any insertion straight into mountains will inflict heavy casualties to them.. to counter this, they first aerial bombed the possibile hideouts (uncle Sam most probably provided Satellite imagery) then huge artillery bombardment.. after that special forces teams where inserted on top of mountains with help of Mi17 helos where they will operate in small teams and try to push the rebels downwards where infantry was already deployed and will kill them.. imo that's how you use your spearhead force strategically.

We can't drop high yield bombs like that on Doda Ramban kalakote etc but we surely can use Gunships to rain down hell. Imo gunships + proper cleanup using ISR closely followed by SF raids is the best we can do. Or if we wanna go the longer method. ISR by drones, Low visibility insertion of large amount of SF along with VDGs or maybe small sections of CI inf bns for higher areas where SOG can't reach easily and SOG in other areas.

p.s to the agencies walas here - I am just giving my 2 kaudi opinion on this topic. I am not trying to divulge any operational info

How can 3500 troops be called a noticeable movement?

The place I live I am 1st hand witness to an entire infantry division + Artillery brigade + AD Brigade mobilizing twice in past 15 yrs approx... that created anxiety in people.

People were already filled with dread after so many terror attacks in jammu and especially that attack on pilgrimage.. arrival of army brigade provides them hope and a feeling of security if anything..

I get that we can't use fighters.. I dont opt for either but I never understood why our doctrine never included gunships.. even during the peak of insurgency we only fought them on foot. Personally I like your drone ISR idea more but it won't work cuz it's too ambitious for us therefore gunships + SF tactics are to see
