Although the mainland media is filled with a sea of disparaging articles about the Indian army, objectively speaking, the Indian army has the world’s richest experience in highland mountain combat, note that here we are talking about highland mountain combat and not stationed, the Indian army needs to be in the extremely unsuitable for human Life in the mountainous areas of the Kashmir plateau all year round, confront the Pakistani army and various militants, the U.S. mountain troops and Russian Special forces are also often held in India and the Indian army joint military exercises, mutual exchanges, this is enough to explain the Indian army in the plateau mountain combat unique advantages.
In fact, at the beginning of the war in Afghanistan, the U.S. Army’s mountain troops had also taken lessons from Indian mountain troops to gain the experience needed to fight in the mountains of the Afghan plateau, including the purchase of more adaptable mountain climbing clothes and shoes for the army, and even many U.S. soldiers on the Internet The Indian army’s mountain troops are not quite the same as ordinary troops, whether it is weapons or equipment, have more autonomy to choose, and can buy the commercial products needed from the international market as needed, more adapted to mountain operations.
As there are not many highland mountain environments in the expected combat areas, and even if there are, they are mainly in the Caucasus mountains, the Russian Army and the Indian Army’s highland mountain joint military exercises, the Russian Army mainly learn from the Indian Army’s advanced combat experience, and the annual “Indra” military exercises become the best occasion for the two armies to exchange, compared to the U.S. Army because of global operations, in the In contrast, the U.S. Army, because of global operations, and the Indian Army to conduct joint military exercises in the highlands and mountains, the two sides will be able to communicate more with each other, after all, the U.S. Army has been fighting in Afghanistan, in addition, every year to hold military exercises near the Arctic Circle alone or with NATO allies, also have their own unique experience, and developed a series of adaptive equipment.
In the recent exchanges between the U.S. and Indian forces, U.S. special forces are teaching Indian special forces how to carry out highland mountain sniper tactics and mortar precision fire tactics in highland areas, after all, the temperature, air thinness and chaotic winds at high altitudes are different from the plains, the U.S. military’s extensive experience in Afghanistan at this Time will be able to pass on to Indian special forces, the fact that In fact, the national armies fighting in Afghanistan have accumulated a lot of highland mountain combat experience, such as Canadian snipers, when fighting in Afghanistan found that the U.S.-made high-precision sniper ammunition, whether accuracy or range, are better than those made in Canada, and if it is warmed up a bit before firing, the range will be even longer and more conducive to long-range sniping.
American snipers recommended to their Indian counterparts the high-performance M-110 SASS 7.62mm semi-automatic sniper rifle and XM2010 enhanced sniper rifle, which was selected by the U.S. Army based on experience to adapt to highland sniper operations, and if paired with a suitable silencer, can also be better for concealed sniping of important targets, the Indian Army was able to procure these high-precision from the international market The Indian army can procure these high-precision sniper rifles from the international market, but to gain the valuable experience of the U.S. military, it is ultimately necessary to rely on the ever-closer military relationship between the United States and India, advanced weapons to buy, combat experience, the “software”, may not be able to buy.
