The Indian Army is believed to be using newly acquired Finnish Lapua Magnum and the US-made Barrett M95 to target Pakistani positions along the Line-of-Control (LoC), in response to ceasefire violations from the other side, reports India Today.
These new sniper rifles have been recently purchased directly by the Northern Command of the Indian Army; certain financial powers are granted to the commander-in-chief of the Northern Command, who is currently Lieutenant General Ranbir Singh.
It is not yet clear how effective these state-of-the-art sniper rifles have been against the Pakistani positions.
The increased intensity of cross-border firing and ceasefire violations comes on the heels of the India-Pakistan standoff which was triggered by the Indian Air Force’s (IAF) strikes against terrorist infrastructure in Balakot.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
