Meet Garud Commando Sailesh Gaur, Took 6 Bullets Kept On Fighting For An Hour During Pathankot Attack

Garud Commando Sailesh Gaur

The calendar had just turned – it was the early hours of January 2. A helicopter with thermal imagers was getting ready to take-off and scan the Pathankot Air Base based on an alert that the high-value military asset was to be targeted by terrorists.

Within a few minutes of being air borne, the thermal imagers beamed down images of four suspects. They were first spotted in the dense jungle at the rear of the Mechanical Transport Area in the 2000-acre compound. Roughly 45 minutes later, the Mi-35 attack helicopter that was flying over the base with thermal sensors would beam back pictures to ground which showed the terrorist had moved just a few meters from their earlier location – to store huts of the Mechanical Transport base.Garud Commando Sailesh Gaur

Gursevak took cover behind a heavy earth-mover along with his buddy even as they made first contact. Gursevak took three bullets, but kept fighting.

Seeing Gursevak down, Sailesh and Katal – the second team – moved in quickly using Israel-made rifles and machine guns to return the terrorists’ fire. Then, Sailesh was hit – more than half a dozen bullets in his lower abdomen. Bleeding profusely, he didn’t abandon his post and, with buddy Katal, kept the operation going for nearly an hour, while they waited for  back- up and replenishment.garud commando 1933923_1087339487983816_2845053095281501898_n 1937092_1087339481317150_3594591470780456129_n

The terrorists then managed to sneak out of the Mechanical Transport area, but were stopped from reaching the technical area  – where they could have damaged the fighter jets and attack helicopters that are crucial for the Air Force.

The operation to eliminate them lasted nearly 80 hours and martyred seven military personnel and injured 20 – including Sailesh.

He was evacuated three hours after being pummelled with bullets to the hospital just outside the base. The 24 year-old from Ambala is now fighting for his life.

“They were moving slowly, to avoid any detection,” a senior IAF official told NDTV.

At about 3 am, 12 Garud Commandos were deployed. Three teams of “buddy” pairs were deployed outside the Mechanical Transport Wing to prevent the suspects from moving. Another three pairs of commandos were asked to launch the attack on the Pakistanis.

As a tribute to Pathankot terror attack martyr, National Security Guard (NSG) officer Lieutenant Colonel Niranjan Kumar, a group of Indian hackers have attacked a host of Pakistani websites on Wednesday, 6 January.

The Indian Black Hats hacker group has attacked more than six websites, and it is being dedicated to the officer’s two-year-old daughter Vismaya. “We hacked some Pakistan websites and domains as a tribute to the bravehearts who were killed in the Pathankot attack on Sunday, and we have dedicated it to Lt Col Niranjan Kumar’s little daughter Vismaya,” a hacker named Ind_C0d3r told IBTimes India.indian-hackers-hack-pak-websites

However, the hackers haven’t deleted the contents of the websites as it is not a cyber war, and they call it a tribute to the martyrs of the attack. “We haven’t deleted the contents of the websites, but have just uploaded our message on their domains, as the intention is to give Pakistan a warning,” Ind_Cod3r added.

Indian Black Hats (IBH) is a team of hackers with members from all over India. It started in 2011 with the name Indian Cyber Devils. It was in 2014 that they changed their name to IBH. In November 2014, IBH was in news after attacking 10 Pakistani websites and other domains as a tribute to the martyrs of the Mumbai terror attacks, which took place on 26 November, 2008.

8 Things Common To Every Defence Aspirant

Hello, Warriors! Ask any defence brat, being in the armed forces is the most realistic and proud thing that one can be in- the respect you get from the society, the pride when your dad/you go out in uniform and the celebrity like feeling when everyone stares at you in that uniform.

The feelings can truly not be described. Especially, when you, yourself want to become one of it- one in the armed forces. There is so much common in every defence aspirant in every corner of the country, like:

  1. The will to join the armed forces: Yes, just think about it. What reply would you give to someone when they ask you what you are going to do in later life? You can proudly say with a broad chest that you will join the armed forces. Nothing can beat that subconscious and proud happiness within you.
  1. The respect for the nation and national flag: It’s not that everyone doesn’t respect the national flag, but there is something within the defence aspirants that makes us respect it naturally. Like, standing up when the national anthem is played during a cricket match between India other nation or like watching the Republic Day parade religiously every year.
  1. Willpower: There is always a force within us that keeps on saying, “buddy, don’t stop till you make it. It’s not the time. A little hard work now and it will be a bright future ahead!” And you get back on track preparing to join the forces.
  1. Enthusiasm: This, my friends, is the identity of the defence aspirants. Where ever you go, whatever you do, your enthusiasm never goes down. You always find a way to extract happiness from the tiniest moments around.8 Things Common To Every Defence Aspirant
  1. The closeness you feel when you come through someone belonging to the defence background too: You feel like you know them and have already met them a long ago. There’s no formality between you too, not even a formal introduction. Because you know that it’s going to last forever.
  1. The goose bumps when you see a war movie or the big battle guns: That is not new to you. You have always seen them spread in and around the cantonment where you live in and your dads probably have seen war(s). But, still, it gives you goose bumps when you see it working live because you’ve always wanted to see it that way.
  1. The pride you feel when you say someone that you are from defence background and get “That’s fking cool” as a reply: And, and, if you are one from an Army Public School, I bet you have been asked at least once that whether you get training in there or not. Yes people, we understand. But be educated that it’s just a school run by the Army and is not a military training academy! 

And finally,

  1. Visiting SSBCrack regularly: I do hope that I’ve hit the pointer right this time. Where else can the 10 lac (and increasing, mind you) aspirants get such motivation and inspiration from?

Do you have something that you feel is common between all the defence aspirants apart from these? Do share with us and let us know.

4 Indian Army Commanding Officers Who Led From The Front And Became Heroes

Indian Army is known for its brave soldiers who never back down from the situation and do their job, even when they have to sacrifice their lives to protect the nation. Since long you must be watching the stories of brave soldiers who martyred while protecting us. Here, we are showing you 5 commanding officers of Indian army who led from the front and became inspirations for future soldiers.

Colonel Rai

Colonel Rai was the Commanding Officer of 42 Rashtriya Rifles (42 RR) and was known to lead from the front.  When he was killed, his status on popular messaging service WhatsApp read, “Play your role in life with such passion, that even after the curtains come down, the applause doesn’t stop.”  That message was posted two months ago.

Colonel Santosh Mahadik

The officer, who originally belonged to the elite 21 Para unit of the Special Forces, was awarded Sena Medal (Gallantry) for his exceptional service and leadership as a young officer while fighting the terrorists in Lolab Valley in Kupwara in 2003.  He took a bullet in his chest while commanding the 41 Rashtriya Rifles, during an encounter with terrorists in Manigah forest area of Kupwara.4 Indian Army Commanding Officers Who Led From The Front And Became Heroes

Lieutenant Colonel Sankalp Kumar

Lieutenant Colonel Sankalp Kumar of 24 Punjab Regiment who was killed in the fidayeen attack in Uri had survived a similar battle in 2004, when he sustained three bullet injuries in the stomach in an attack by Pakistani militants in Srinagar. The only son of his Ranchi-based parents, 35-year-old Kumar is survived by two daughters (aged two and nine) and wife who live in Patna. Retired Colonel N C Deogharia, a neighbour of Kumar at Ranchi’s Sainik Colony, said: “Kumar always led from the front. The bullets he faced in 2004 emboldened his spirits to fight the militants. We will always be proud of him.”

Lt Col Niranjan

Lt Col Niranjan, a member of the NSG’s Bomb Disposal Squad, was killed while he was defusing the grenade at the scene of the terror attack as part of the combing operations that continued through the night. Four other security men were also injured in the blast. Lt Col Niranjan was a brave officer who led from the front when the situation demanded.

Barak-8 Missile

Hello, Warriors! In a boost to India’s maritime prowess, the Navy on December 30th, successfully test-fired the nearly 70 KM range Surface to Air Missile Barak 8 from INS Kolkata, paving the way for installation of the system, developed jointly by India and Israel, on board country’s frontline warships.

The interceptors were fired from the heart of the Indian Ocean from an Indian Navy ship, striking their targets successfully.

Here are the 10 things you need to keep yourself updated about this advancement:

  1. The missile system is designed to protect naval ships and offshore gas rigs from hostile aircraft, missiles and rockets. The system’s advanced digital phased-array radar, dubbed Barak Adir by the navy, is produced by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), the primary contractor.
  2. IAI also makes the system’s fire control station, while the interceptor missile is produced by Rafael.
  3. The Barak 8 radar can detect threats at over 100 km, that it could become fully operational in a matter of months.
  4. Once airborne, the missile continues to receive data from the radar system, which predicts the threat’s trajectory, and enables the missile to adjust its own path before destroying the target.
  5. The missile deploys its own electromagnetic sensor as it approaches the target, guiding it on its last phase.
  6. The Barak 8 radar can track multiple targets simultaneously, dividing its energy to cover half a sphere around a naval ship.Barak-8 Missile
  7. The system is already installed on at least one Israel Navy ship, and on an Indian Navy ship.
  8. Apart from the missile, the system includes a Multi-Functional Surveillance and Threat Alert Radar (MF STAR) for detection, tracking and guidance of the missile.
  9. Israel made MF-STAR radar system is capable of simultaneously tracking hundreds of airborne targets to a range of more than 250 KM. DRDL, Hyderabad, a DRDO Lab, has jointly developed this missile in collaboration with Israel Aerospace Industries.
  10. These Surface-to-Air Missiles are fitted onboard the Kolkata Class Destroyers and would also be fitted on all future major warships of the Navy.

Designed to defend against a variety of short-to-long -range airborne threats, including fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, drones and projectiles, Barak-8 incorporates phased array multi-mission radar, two-way data link, and a flexible command and control system, enabling users to simultaneously engage multiple targets day and night.

With the successful proving of these systems, the Indian Navy has become part of a select group of Navies that have this niche capability, which would provide a fillip to India’s maritime operations.

Project ‘Ghatak’ – A Boost To India’s UAV Needs

Project ‘Ghatak’ – A Boost To India’s UAV Needs

Hello, Budding Warriors! After the success of Mars mission Mangalyan and working on the satellite navigation system IRNSS, expected to launch next year, India is all set to make its own stealth combat drones or UCAVs (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles). It will have a new breed of combat drones which will be a boost to ‘Made-in-India’.

This will boost the country’s capability to launch air assaults beyond its borders that will have the ability to fire precision-guided munitions and head back base. The project named Ghatak is waiting for government nod. The Rs. 2650 crore project is expected to get clearance soon.

Project Ghatak was initiated by Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) in collaboration with Indian Air Force (IAF) and is expected to take 15 years.

The project comes as a result of successfully completed AURA (Autonomous Unmanned Research Aircraft) program, sanctioned in 2009 at a cost of Rs. 12.5 crores to study the feasibility and make a conceptual framework for future Indian UCAV.

The UCAVs will be powered by indigenously-developed 52-kilonewton dry variant of the Kaveri aerospace engine which was earlier used in the LCA Tejas. The thrust provided by the Kaveri engine was not enough to power Tejas throughout its flight envelope but it is now expected that the Kaveri derivative engine (“dry” engine), without after burner, will provided enough juice to power UCAVs and will also feature ‘flying-wing’ design similar to the US’ B-2 Spirit, a stealth bomber.Project ‘Ghatak’ – A Boost To India’s UAV Needs

The only UCAVs currently in India’s inventory are the Harop UCAVs purchased from Israel. Harop UCAV is different from UCAV that is in consideration with the Indian government since this is a Kamikaze type of aircraft, where the drone itself is the main munition and is designed to self-destuct as it attacks its target.

Even as the government looks to augment the strength of combat drones, it looks like it will eventually have different aircrafts in its inventory, even as DRDO is working on Rustom-2, an indigenous armed drone.

India also uses the Israeli Heron and Searcher-II UAVs for surveillance and reconnaissance for the Indian Army and Indian Air Force in forward areas. UCAVs on the other hand, are more advanced than UAVs, which are likely to revolutionize the war front in the near future itself.

However, it may be atleast a decade before the UCAV takes to the skies to defend India’s borders and engage targets.

Indian Army’s Future Soldier Program Is Straight Out Of A Hollywood Flick

future soldier Indian Army

Hello, Warriors! Who don’t like kickass action movies with the latest tech and systems exhibited in it? Be it Iron Man or Mission Impossible, we all have had a moment where our jaws just dropped with the thought – “That’s soo cool…”

What if this was in real? Nevertheless, the Indian army is planning to equip its soldiers with the latest tech and systems for combat.

The Indian Army has decided to junk the Future Infantry Soldier As a System (F-INSAS) program in favor of two separate projects. This will make our soldiers the most fiercely equipped soldiers on the planet.

Earlier, F-INSAS had been taken up to equip Indian infantry with advanced weaponry, communication network and instant access to information on the battlefield. This program was similar to the future soldier programs of other nations. F-INSAS included a fully networked all-terrain, all-weather personal-equipment platform, enhanced firepower and mobility for the digitalized battlefield of the future. The weight carried by soldiers were needed to be reduced by at least 50%.

But, the program has been scrapped and the bifurcation has been done keeping in mind the defence budget and convenience.

The new program will have two components: one arming the modern infantry soldier with the best available assault rifle, carbines and personal equipment such as the helmet and bulletproof vests and the second component is the Battlefield Management Systems (BMS).

Also Read: Field Formation In The Indian Army

The first one being ‘Arming the modern infantry soldier’ under which, our ‘special forces’ commandos will be loaded with the world’s best under-barrel grenade launcher assault rifles, carbines and hand grenades. They will be protected with equipment such as non-flammable, waterproofed, hard ballistic protected and bulletproof helmets, visors and vests.  The new attire will enable commandos to carry extra loads and resist the impact of nuclear, radiological, chemical and biological warfare. The uniforms will also be fitted with external and internal oxygen supply, fire-proof knee and elbow pads and hand gloves and laser eye protection goggles.

In the BMS category goes all the communication and optical equipment of a modern soldier which includes palm-top communication equipment and the helmet mounted cameras.

It is something straight out of an action movie. Our commandos will be equipped with Palmtop GPS navigation devices, world’s most advanced satellite phones, Integrated Multifunction Sight Device Night Vision Equipment, Thermal Imager, Laser Range-Finder, Colour Charge-Coupled-Device (CCD) Camera,  Digital Magnetic Compass, Integrated Electro-Optical Surveillance and Fire Control Systems and advanced GPS receivers.

The list of sensors our soldiers will be carrying is just mind blowing – infrared sensors, thermal sensors, electro optical sensors, spectroscopic sensors, electromagnetic and radio frequency sensors. What’s even better is that this entire kickass technology is weatherproof and all-terrain tested.

The assault weapon field trials are going on: there are four kinds, Baretta (Italy), Colt (USA), Bren (Czech) and Tavor (Israel). The last has already been chosen for Indian Special Forces.

The army adopted the program in a way that keeps the infantry soldier less burdened by technology, and more agile to carry out his tasks. That means there is no F-INSAS program any more and it has been overthrown by the new “Future Soldier” program.

The program strongly relies on indigenous DRDO-led development of this technology with massive support from Israel.

Once equipped with tech and advanced weaponry, Indian special forces will be able to operate in virtually any and every sort of battle scenario

Holding back his tears, Havaldar Sanjeevan Rana’s father Rattan Singh, himself an ex-servicemen, said his son’s supreme sacrifice for the nation while fighting terrorists will not go to waste.

“Let Indian government muster the courage and give a befitting reply to the terrorists’ country (Pakistan). Jab tak Pakistan ko eent ka wajib pathar se nahin diya jayega, hamare jawan shaheed hote rahenge ( Till Pakistan is not given a befitting reply, Indian jawans will keep attaining martyrdom like this,” he said

Rana was cremated in his village Sehwan, near Shahpur in Kangra district.

The bodies of two Himachal Pradesh martyrs Rana, 50, and Jagdish Chand, 58, of village Basa Gola in Siyunta area of Chamba district were consigned to flames with full state honours today after the Army and Airforce brought the bodies wrapped in tricolour to their native place. Both were retired army personnel and were serving as Defence Security Core at the Pathankot airforce base station. Jagdish Chand, who was transferred to Pathankot from Leh only few days ago, had killed one terrorist by snatching his weapon before other militants gunned him down. Transport minister G S Bali and Col (Rtd) Dhani Ram Shandil were flown from Shimla in a government helicopter to attend the cremation of the Jawans. People numbering in hundreds bade a tearful adieu to the gallant jawans as Shubam, son of Sanjeevan Rana, performed the last rites.Indian Army

A pall of gloom descended on the area and slogans of ‘Bharat Mata Ki jai’ rent the air. “I have also fought three wars against Pakistan. But my son has outdid me by making a supreme sacrifice. It’s a rare act of heroism and his sacrifice will be remembered. I also feel equally proud for other martyrs who gave their blood to Bharat Mata to protect its dignity and honour. I will send my grandson to the Indian army,” Rattan Singh said. Equally gloomy scenes were witnessed at Basa Gola village where body of Jagdish Chand was consigned to flames with full state and military honour. Forest minister Thakur Singh Bharmouri, Deputy Commissioner Chamba M Sudha Devi and Local SP were among the hundreds who paid tribute to the martyr. “We are a family of soldiers. Of four brothers, three are serving/and had served the Indian army. Our father was also ex-armymen. It’s a loss to the family but I think with his (Jagdish) sacrifice, nation has gained a pride. He (Jagdish) killed a terrorist before his martyrdom, is not a small thing,” says Budhi Singh, his brother and a retired armymen. Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh expressed grief over the death of two soldiers from Himachal Pradesh and announced a financial assistance of Rs 20 lakh to the families. “Hav Sanjeevan Rana and Hav Jagdish Chand sacrificed their lives for maintaining the unity, integrity and security of the nation. Brave soldiers of Himachal Pradesh had always made supreme sacrifices for sake of the country,” the chief minister said. State Governor Acharya Devvrat has also expressed grief over the tragedy. During Kargil war, Himachal Pradesh had lost 52 soldiers, 15 of them were from Kangra. Capt Vikram Batra and Sepoy Sanjay Kumar were conferred Paramvir Chakras for their bravery and valour during the war.

pathankot-attack-terrorist

Defence minister Manohar Parrikar today confirmed that all the six terrorists who had attacked the Pathankot Air Force base have been neutralized by the security forces.

Addressing a press conference at Pathankot Air Force base after taking stock of the anti-terror operation, defence minister complimented the security forces for ensuring that there was no loss to any vital asset at the Air Force base.

Stating that there were no suspected terrorists inside Pathankot Air Force base, the defence minister said combing operations will continue for a day or two. NIA investigations will reveal who were behind the terror attack.

The defence minister announced that soldiers killed in Pathankot terror attack will get ‘battle casualty status’ and all its benefits.

Though officers there say all terrorists are dead, unexploded blinds (grenades or shells) which were left, defusing them caused intermittent explosion at the IAF base.

Operation was done without compromising any asset, strategic or otherwise. Mr. Parrikar said that only the Garud Commando’s death was an operational loss and that all deceased will be declared as martyrs and that state government has also announced compensation.

It has emerged that the militants hijacked a police officer’s car but that his call to a colleague, after he was dumped by the roadside, was not taken seriously. The National Investigation Agency, a central body set up to probe such cross-border attacks, is investigating the case.pathankot-attack-terrorist

The need of calling NSG was because of the threat to civilians was there.

Further, specific and actionable information regarding Pathankot attack has been provided to Pakistan. Pakistan will investigate leads and information provided by the government of India.

The United Jihad Council (UJC), an alliance of pro-Pakistan militant groups based in the Pakistani-administered part of the divided Kashmir region, has claimed responsibility for the assault.

It remains unclear exactly how the attackers infiltrated the fortified base, which has a 24-km (15-mile) perimeter surrounded by a 3-metre (10-foot) wall topped with concertina wire.

Investigations by the BSF and other central agencies have been started. Let’s just hope that no more casualties are reported and may god help the families of the victims to get over this worst incident.

Lt Col E.K. Niranjan: Life In Brief

Life In Brief Of Lt Col E.K. Niranjan

Hello, Warriors! The nation recently grieved the martyrdom of an elite soldier Lt Col E.K. Niranjan. Lt Col Niranjan, a member of the NSG’s Bomb Disposal Squad, who was killed while defusing the grenade at the scene of the terror attack as part of the combing operations that continues till today. Four other security men were also injured in the blast.

Here’s the life of the supreme soldier in brief:

NSG commando Lt Col Niranjan, who was killed in the grenade blast at Pathankot air base on Sunday, lost his mother at a young age. Born in Bengaluru, Niranjan grew up with his two brothers and a sister away from his home state Kerala. His father EK Sivaranjan, now a retired BEML employee, moved to the city 40 years ago. Kumar’s family roots can be traced to Elambassery village in Palakkad district. Lt Col Niranjan got married three years ago in Elambassery and had a daughter of this marriage who is 1½ years old.

He cleared the CDSE exam and SSB and was sent to OTA, Chennai for his basic military training. Batch mates fondly called Niranjan, Ninja.

One of the batch mates, a Malayalam actor, Major Kishore recalled that there will be punishment irrespective of whether one does or does not do things in the OTA. We would be together undergoing these punishments.

By 2006, both were promoted to Major after being commissioned in the Engineer’s Corps of the Army. And three years later, Kishore took a voluntary retirement whereas his friend, Ninja, volunteered to join the National Security Guard.

He was promoted to the rank of Lt Col in the elite NSG just a few months ago.

He used to speak Hindi with a thick South Indian accent and people used to love it. He was adventurous, brave, confident, used to speak his mind and stand by what he felt was right. Despite punishments in the OTA, he would not change his stance on a subject. He was a leader. Life In Brief Of Lt Col E.K. Niranjan

And the Lt Col continued that aspect of his personality to the very final minute. While dealing with the IEDs, you don’t know their size or shape or where they are. It is no ordinary grenade. As the Commanding Officer, he could’ve deputed his men to do the job. But he always believed in leading by example by sacrificing his life for the security of nation in the true interests of the Indian Military.

We all salute this Braveheart.
