Speaking to ANI on Thursday, an Indian Army officer said that the troops are tasked with ensuring zero infiltration along the LoC. "Our task as the troops deployed on the ground is to establish, maintain and ensure zero infiltration and establish a zero infiltration grid in this area... We do that in three layers," the Army officer said
Describing the three-tier grid, he said that the first layer of defence is the surveillance equipment, including radars, thermal imaging sites, weapon and helmet-mounted sites, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
The Army official added that the second layer is the obstacle system, which includes mines. "Number two is the obstacle system, which we have incorporated into our defences. We have placed various types of mines and optical systems throughout the entire area of responsibility," he told ANI
The third layer is the army personnel on the ground involved in routine ambushes and patrolling. He said, "Number three is us, the men on the ground. We ensure that we send out routine ambushes and patrols to dominate the entire area either physically, by observation, or by fire"
Newly introduced equipment--including Quadcopters, Advanced Surveillance Tools, Bulletproof Vehicles, All-Terrain Vehicles, Modern Weapons, and Night Vision Sights, was also displayed
