This specialized equipment, used by the Pakistani army, has been provided by China, which is actively enhancing Pakistan’s defense capabilities along the LoC.

Around 60 to 70 terrorists are ready to infiltrate into India from across the Line of Control (LoC), according to Jammu and Kashmir DGP Rashmi Ranjan Swain. The terrorists are in groups of five or six at different locations and are waiting to be pushed into Indian territory at any time. Swain added that drone droppings activities pose a significant challenge as they enable the smuggling of arms, ammunition, explosives, cash and narcotics. Despite successes in countering enemy attempts, Swain emphasized that the threat remains and sustained efforts are required to reduce the enemy’s ability to destabilize the area. The Army, paramilitary forces and the Jammu and Kashmir Police are determined to make it difficult for the terrorists to succeed.
