This one is kind of a primer of how bad things were back in the day from which you can sketch out a basic outline.

Here's another one verifying my claim of desperate people trying to implement nefarious designs since later stages of last decade -

I request everyone to take their time read these articles 🙏🏼 I will be covering more of this soon !
Take care everyone !

This one is for the restless bunch that keeps on asking the solutions to this problem. I'll be covering this in an exhaustive way later on - here's how it'll look like :-
Deployment of more CAPF with high altitude specialization on higher ridges for Area Dominance. Active Hunting operations by RR (Romeo, Delta and Uniform Forces) and JKP SOG in hiterland on effective intelligence and revamped ISR on the lines of what para SF is made to do.

I'll be covering their AO specific guerilla tactics in next few posts. Note that these will cover recent tactics only

RARE ALERT -
12 PARA (SF) on a Special Reconnaisance mission in the back o' beyond

"First" - 1 Para (SF)

Alright people, I am almost done writing this thing. Just a few final touches here and there -

Ok so here's the summary on the basic tactics that are being used by the current lot of terrorists in J&K -

DISCLAIMER - THIS IS MY PERSONAL OBSERVATION, GROUND REALITY MIGHT BE FAR FAR DIFFERENT

Goal - Hit & Run, minimize casualties, play it dirty

Composition of groups -

Depending upon the complexity and goal of the operation, the squad can comprise of anything from buddy-pairs to 4 man mobile teams with multiple snipers and support weapons in static position along with OGWs/Assets in place for maximum situational awareness during ops where they want to inflict heavy damage. FT (Foreign Terrorists) many of which are from PoK and served Pak Army/Establishment in various capacities are the main muscle as of now. Local Liason is provided by OGWs w/ LT (Local Terrorists)

Presence of SSG and ISI's paramillitary group/SAD (comprising of ex-SSG) is also mentioned quite often. These people are most likely involved in various capacities like - BAT Teams, Specialist weapon support, Infrastructural support by aiding in weapons training, handling the C2(Cmd and Ctrl) of multiple teams of FTs (Foreign Terrorists - pakistanis almost exclusively). In areas farther from LoC/IB, the number of SSG operators is less due to obvious reasons (not true for some places in south kashmir).

Weaponry -
Currently, the weapons in use are mostly Type-56 AK with steel core bullets and DAK made AR15 pattern rifles with 556x45mm AP rounds. The terrorists mostly utilize these m4-style rifles' p-rails to mount Thermal Imagers or sometimes powered optics (when being used as a marksman rifle).

Additionally, unconventional weaponary "might" come into use in near future for more specific hits. Various low-vis weapons are in use with certain FTs and their Operational Cmdrs. These include - Steyr AUG, Mp5 SD from SSG/Pak Army weapon surplus.


Depending upon the complexity of an operation they may carry handgrenades and even secondary firearm (mostly a pistol) too.

Communications -
The cadre doing major operations that require heavy-firepower uses Chinese Two-way UHF handheld sets with multiple repeater stations in place for intra and inter squad communications role. UHF Band is a very crowded place which makes Sigint a slightly more intensive task. The perpetrators usually have a strict radio discipline while carrying out these operations.

Multiple News Outlets and OSINT groups reports have also suggested presence of Satcom terminals (nothing new about this as they were used back in early 2000s too) and LoRa modules, these methods are used for enabling multiple pathways of sending data (audio/video + text and position) to their handlers sitting on the other side of the fence. This topic deserves a seperate thread of its own which I'll compile later on.

Allocation of the above material is highly AO specific and depends upon multiple parameters that include distance from Lc, logistics, presence of security forces in the region, amount of real-time and static int, geography etc.
