India set to hold wargames near Pakistani border

NEW DELHI: India is mobilising 20,000 troops for May wargames on its northern borders in the largest movement of forces since 2002 when war almost broke out with Pakistan, defence sources said on Wednesday.

The exercise would be held in the arid plains of Jallandhar in Punjab state, which borders Pakistan, defence ministry sources said. Artillery and heavy armour would also be involved in the manoeuvres to hone the battle-readiness of India’s million-plus armed forces, they said. However the sources would not reveal the exact date of the wargames, although they said mobilisation has already begun…

“As a first follow-up to this defence cooperation agreement, a high-level Chinese military delegation will watch an Operation Bras stacks-like display of the Indian armoured might this summer in the searing heat of Rajasthan desert,” Tehelka said.

Re: India set to hold wargames near Pakistani border

I heard Pakistan was about to drop a nuke on Hindustan in 1989 when the Hindustani forces got too close to the Pakistani border. But the scared Hindustani people were only saved by the Americans after Washington asked Pakistan to forgive Hindustan just this one time.

Re: India set to hold wargames near Pakistani border

And pappu until late 90's america was saving pak not india.

Allah Almighty saved the Masjids in Tsunami, He saved the Kab'ah against the 'Army of Elephant' and I will always have my full faith in Allah Almighty in the future insha'allah.

India begins war games

NEW DELHI: India on Monday began war games involving 20,000 combat troops on its northern borders in the largest exercise since 2002 when war almost broke out with Pakistan, officials here said.

… The official said advance notice of the exercise had been given to Pakistan to avoid any misunderstanding. The Jalandhar area saw major tank battles between India and Pakistan during their second and third wars in 1965 and 1971.

Are Pakistanis worried, intimidated?

Re: India begins war games

it's an exercise, simple as that. why do you persist with the fear mongering?

Re: India set to hold wargames near Pakistani border

don't worry rvikz, it's just green&white here that's all nuke crazy. we're not all like that. :)

Re: India set to hold wargames near Pakistani border

Apparently God also saved the churches and temples as well. I think you need to take off your blinders…temples and churches and masjids are nothing without people who pray within them.
