| Pak installs radars on LoC to aid infiltration |
| 2009-03-26 |
| According to highly placed intelligence sources, the Pakistan Army has recently installed eight low-level radars along the LoC in North Kashmir—the area through which the recent infiltrations took place near Kupwara. The principal radar, of a Chinese make, has been positioned at Tangdhar, very near to the Indian Army’s Eagle Post. The other seven radars are scattered along other nearby sectors of North Kashmir. Sources have told Headlines Today that the radars are technically calibrated to detect major movements of troops or machinery and weapons. They can even terrain hugging helicopters. Experts believe the radars would give the Pakistan Army, and through them, Lashkar militants, a clear picture of where and when to intrude. The radars can also track which patrolling gaps can be exploited and how much warlike stores would be feasible to carry. While infiltration is nothing new, what is different is the Pakistan Army facilitating the logistics of the ongoing militant activity in Kupwara. The rapid deployment of these radars is a proof against the sinister designs of the Pakistani army. The agenda is simple, to get as many militants in with as less fuss as possible. These men can then lie low for some time before strike during elections. Clearly the ISI planned – army executed – low-cost war against India shows no signs of stopping. Indeed, the establishment now appears to be investing in high technology equipment that will actually make intruding militants into India much easier. |

| #5 This won't work for three reasons. First of all, the Indians will quickly plot the radar coverage area and blind spots. Second, they will be the easiest thing to jam. And third, it will "back light" any militants approaching the Indian side, revealing their exact location. |

| #4 India got any HARMs? Might be fun to see the reaction in those radar vans when that little trilling noise comes up. Probably wouldn't smell too good though... |

| #2 It's almost as if the Paks want Kashmir to blow up, if nothing else to serve as a distraction ... |

| #1 ...what is different is the Pakistan Army facilitating the logistics of the ongoing militant activity in Kupwara. Oh, yeah. I'm sure they've never done that before. |
