The new barrier consists of two fences with an eight-foot gap in the middle filled with coils of razor-sharp concertina wire. The fence snakes across the divided territory, hugging the Line of Control – a 1972 cease-fire line that divides the territory – and zigzagging through barren mountains as high as 12,000 feet. At construction workers complete a section on plains near Bakarpur, about 25 miles northwest of Kashmir’s winter capital, Jammu, Indian soldiers are digging up land mines laid when India and Pakistan almost went to war for a fourth time in 2002. Local farmers are taking advantage of the peace along the border to open up feeding grounds for their livestock, such as water buffaloes that graze next to the barbed-wire barrier along the border.
It is an expensive engineering feat, but Indian officials won’t say what it costs, or exactly what high-tech equipment is used for the barrier. The plan is to electrify the fence. If successful this would be a major accomplishment because many Kashmiris live with only intermittent power or none. Sinha didn’t want to discuss details such as planned voltage. “It will be a shock, but whether it will be fatal or not I cannot say. It is still being worked out,” Sinha said.
India has also tested a combination of Israeli and U.S. electronic equipment, such as motion detectors, thermal imaging cameras and unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, to make it much more difficult to slip through the fence . An Indian intelligence official reported that at least some of the remote sensors haven’t performed very well under heavy snow conditions and freezing temperatures prevalent in Kashmir’s soaring Himalayas.
Replace the tourists with machine gun nests.
Does anyone know how easy or hard it is to steal electricity from an electric fence?
The ZAP Fence is a non-lethal electric fence (NLEF) system that combines a barrier, intrusion sensor and shock deterrent to prevent security breaches. It is ideal for correctional or high security installations, as it effectively deters, detects and delays intruders/escapees from getting through the barrier.
The electricity is not in sine-waveform. Not easy to tap it.
Today you march, tomorrow you vote?
While you demand I learn Spanish
Or you’ll yell racist and lunge for my throat
You demand rights and citizenship from me
While waving the large flag
Of the country your risked your life to flee
You say want what is your right
While I pay for your children’s schooling and births
And we watch as MS-13 and our police fight
You shout that you came and that you should stay
While my money pays for your food stamps
And you and your friends take my friends’ jobs away
My taxes rise to pay for your children born here
Their schooling, their births, every trip to the emergency room
And left to run wild gangs add to our fear
I say I can’t pay for everything you demand and you say I had “the race”
While the poor kid from Oklahoma can’t afford college
When the kid from Mexico gets into college and funding in his place
Break our laws with your hand out for more
For welfare, for anchor babies, and demanding of jobs
When ever more jobs leave our own shore
How can we be equal when we import poverty and destroy law and order?
How can we afford the burden that they and their children bring?
And ask those who are raped and murdered because we have an open border.
For the black guy who loses his job and the Canadian who waited his turn
And the Chinese told to learn Spanish and the Indians who earned their visas
If we give Mexican illegals amnesty, what is the lesson THEY learn?
we do need a new canal.
Oh, and be careful to those motion sensors.
I think of this wall whenever I hear the "it can't be done" line.
Yes, with a few hundred PT boats cruising the canal with .50 cals at the ready.
I think this will do just fine. A potential terrorist might have to break those sticks and would therefore run the risk of getting a sliver.
#35 is more what I had in mind.............
that's like a screen door on a submarine.........
A good example of how technology is not always better than human beings.
You're good!
