Militants may use surface-to-air missiles in Kashmir
NEW DELHI: Pakistani mercernary groups have acquired shoulder fired surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) and plan to induct them into Jammu and Kashmir soon, according to Shaikh Jamilur Rehman, secretary general of the so-called Muttahida Jihad Council (MJC).

“We have designed and produced an indigenous anti-aircraft missile to counter the Indian Air Force”, Rehman, who is also the amir of mercernary group Tehrikul Mujahdeen, was quoted as saying by leading Pakistani weekly Friday Times.
LOL
“The missile will be tested very soon,” Rehman claimed while talking to newsmen in Lahore to announce that dominant Kashmiri militant group Hizbul Mujahideen had been taken back into the fold of MJC, an umbrella organisation of Pakistan-based militants.
The Pakistani paper claimed that the militant groups may be raising the ante in Kashmir by induction of SAMs which could target Indian helicopters.
“The introduction of shoulder-fired missiles could add another dimension to the conflict, specially if they end up downing a few Indian helicopters or aircraft”, the paper quoted Paksitani defence experts as commenting.
Citing the example of induction of stingers into Afghanistan, Paksitani defence experts were quoted by the paper as saying: “While introduction of stingers in Afghanistan made a huge difference to the conflict, we must not forget the war effort was sponsored by Americans, who held the balance” hinting that Pakistani sponsors of terrorism were testing waters before giving the green signal for handing over SAMs to militants.

Man,can’t they stop with their ##### claims already?Next,they’ll be saying they can design their own ICBMs.I know its another one of those topics but this is something new ,ridiculous and funny.
