| India gets hi-tech US counter-battery radar |
| 2003-07-11 |
| The United States has delivered a highly sophisticated radar to India under a military sales agreement worth $190m. The mobile Firefinder radar uses a combination of radar techniques and computer technology to detect the location of artillery weapons, almost as soon as they open fire. In all, 12 Firefinder radars will be delivered to India over the next three years. This will put a crimp in Pakistan’s cross border artillery shoots. The turbans will have a cow over this. |

| #1 US counterbattery equipment is the best in the world. The Soviet figured about three minutes for displacement after firing a mission before counterbattery return fire. I can't imagine how, understanding how poorly trained and educated Islamic countries' militaries (and general populations, for that matter) generally are, they are going to be able to beat such counterbattery fire. I guess the upside is that it will be that many fewer Islamic radicals the US military has to kill later on. |
