#5 India purchased advanced ground sensors from the US to monitor the LOC electrified fence. Combined with ground surveillance radars and long range Israeli thermal imagers, they have made a great difference to terrorist infiltration.
Additional counter insurgency units have been deployed and the life span of a jihadi has been dramatically shortened.
Lots of them now want to exfiltrate (back to Pakistan) but they fear being killed as they cross the LOC. Some sought refuge above the snow line but the winter snowfall was bad and about sixty jihadis died from the cold. Those who seek refuge in towns and cities are being killed by the Kashmiri police SOG unit.

#8 Meanwhile the Pakistani military ups the ante. They are supplying ever more sophisticated equipment to their terrorist proxies.

Sophistication of terror equipment up

NEW DELHI: The flow of terror equipment into Jammu and Kashmir along with infiltration may have dipped of late, but intelligence sources point out that the militants are increasingly bringing in more sophisticated equipment.

Lashkar-e-Toiba and Hizbul Mujahideen are the outfits nbringing in such sophisticated equipment. They now use Japanese made ICON wireless sets which are as small as mobile phones but which are capable of a variety of functions. Each has scanning facility which enables it to monitor conversation on different wavelengths.

They (militants) also possess night vision devices with which they can see 30 feet in pitch dark. They use satellite phones, and are armed with sophisticated assault rifles, grenade launchers and C-4 and RDX explosives, according to intelligence sources.

A group of militants killed by the BSF near the Line of Control on the Shamshabari ridge, over 12,000 feet in Kupwara district on Wednesday, was found having the Japanese made ICON wireless sets, BSF spokesman Kamal Kumar said here on Thursday.

Four militants were killed in the encounter and the BSF found one AK-47 rifle, three magazines, two Chinese grenades, 21 rounds and Pakistani currency. "The recovery is still on," Kumar said.

1 AK and 21 rounds for 4 guys? They're broke. No other word for it.

#11 HM chief Syed Salalluddin has started feelers to the Indian government for a ceasefire.

Thats terrorist-speak for 'get the enemy to stop hitting us until we can resupply and rearm.' Same as what is happening with the MILF in the Philippines.
