The deadly combination of AI (Artificial Intelligence) and IA (Indian Army) has dealt a heavy blow to terrorists in the northern Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir.

The Indian Army revealed Tuesday (Oct 29) how AI is helping the armed forces in counter-terror operations, citing the recent success in the Akhnoor region.

Major General Sameer Shrivastava, GoC 10 Infantry Division, said in a briefing, “We have used unmanned vehicle, artificial intelligence that gave us a quick and successful result We lost one Army Dog he was ahead when we were doing search operations, and militants fired upon the Dog.

It's due to his sacrifice, many of the lives could be saved.”

Indian Army’s four year old sniffer canine breathed its last during deployment at the recent counter-terror operation, as it suffered fatal bullet wounds while charging at terrorists, thereby alerting and protecting the troops behind.

“After this operation, such information was spreading that the Army had used BMP we had used that kind of vehicle because the area was tough with a gradient of 30 degrees and dense forest  we used those vehicles after locating militants to reach there,” the senior Army official added.

Three terrorists eliminated
Indian forces eliminated three terrorists after they fired at an ambulance in the army’s convoy in the Akhnoor area on Monday.

"When these people (terrorists) were detected, we received information from the village and hence our reaction was quick.

The purpose for which they had come wasn't fulfilled and hence they opened fire at our convoy, Major General Shrivastava was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.

“The way terrorists were armed, we believe that they were here for a big purpose.

Terrorist organisations had also posted that they were planning to do something big.

Hence, we were prepared, and all the organisations, including intelligence agencies were working in coordination,” he added.
