Gurkhas damn kilat is a MYTH!

[BuiKia]

Besotted is telling the truth but he forgot to disclose the age of his opponent.

This is an interesting article I found about Gurkhas

The Gurkhas were never supposed to fire a shot in anger in Helmand. Their main duty was to protect the main British Army base at Camp Bastion.

But as British forces found themselves fighting a full-scale war, the Gurkhas were thrust into the front line and became involved in some of the fiercest fire fights of the summer-long campaign.

One of the most dramatic engagements took place in the town of Nawzad, a key strategic post in southern Helmand.

The Gurkha commanders realised that trouble was brewing when the town centre emptied of civilians.

As night fell they heard the sounds of holes being chipped through the walls of the buildings close to their fortified ''platoon house", the town's police station. Then the sound of civilian electricity generators in the town abruptly ceased, so that in the silence approaching British helicopters could be heard sooner.

"We knew it was the calm before the storm. We sensed what was coming," said Major Dan Rex, 35, the Gurkhas' tall, softly spoken commander.

During the next 10 days, the 40 Gurkhas sent to Nawzad to hold the police station fought tenaciously to defend themselves as they were subjected to 28 attacks lasting one to six hours each, including five full scale efforts by hundreds of Taliban fighters to over-run their compound.

Senior British officers say it was one of a series of gruelling attritional sieges that have characterised the bloody first six months of the British deployment to Helmand.

They paid tribute to the courage displayed by the 110- man mixed force from the 1st and 2nd Gurkha Rifles, particularly those who fought so valiantly to defend the Nawzad police station.

"I held a Shura (meeting) with the town elders to discuss the deteriorating situation just before the attacks began," Major Rex said in an exclusive interview with The Daily Telegraph.

"Several of those present eyeballed me throughout, and I subsequently discovered they were the Taliban commanders coming to size me up."

The first major attack began at 1.50am when a Gurkha corporal spotted armed men "leopard crawling" towards the compound 60 yards away. He opened fire killing four.

Ten minutes later a coordinated assault began from three directions. Every one of the six sand-bagged positions around the compound and on its roof were hit by rocket-propelled grenades. The command post on the roof received four separate hits.

For many of the Gurkhas, seven of whom had just finished training, it was their first experience of combat. "For the first five minutes under fire I was just so frightened," said Tkam Paha Dur, a 19-year-old Gurkha rifleman, to the amusement of his comrades."After that it became just like a live firing exercise."

With the Taliban closer than 50 yards, Rifleman Nabin Rai, 20, manning a heavy machinegun on the roof, had several rounds ricochet off his weapon before a bullet went through the gunsight and hit him in the face.

"His commander called for him to be medi-vacced out, but he refused to come down from the roof," said Major Rex. "Later he was again hit, this time in the helmet. He sat down and had a cigarette, then went back to his position."

With a full moon negating the advantage of British night vision equipment, the Taliban launched another full-scale assault the next night, using dried up underground watercourses to move men and ammunition around the British position.

"We took two or three RPG hits on one position and significant machinegun fire from a range of about 20 yards," said Lt Angus Mathers, 26.

"They had used tunnels and knocked holes in the compound walls to get close."

The Gurkhas threw 21 grenades at the Taliban position before an Apache helicopter arrived overhead.

The pilot later described the situation as "like the Wild West", with tracer converging on him from numerous positions. He hovered 20 yards above the compound firing back with the helicopter's cannon while the empty shell cases cascaded on to the heads of the Gurkhas below.

The Gurkhas faced constant danger from several snipers and Taliban mortar teams.

"The snipers had positions in buildings two rooms back with holes cut through the walls to give them a field of fire," said Major Rex.

British troops could not show themselves during the day and a signaller was shot in the back, but survived his injuries. In response the Gurkhas flew in a specialist sniper. "It was cat and mouse for a couple of days," said Major Rex. "Then our sniper, Corporal Imbahadar Gurung, got four confirmed kills."

Two mortar positions were spotted and destroyed by aircraft but the third continued to elude British spotters for several days. "Eventually my JTAC (ground-air coordinator) caught the smoke as it fired out of the corner of his eye," said Major Rex. "An American aircraft dropped a 2,000lb bomb on the spot and that ended the mortar fire." After a particularly heavy attack Major Rex used the Afghan police radio, which was known to be listened to by the Taliban, to send them a message through an interpreter.

"I said 'you have two paths here. If the attacks continue you will suffer. We are being restrained. We take no pleasure in this. We are here to help you if you want a better life. It is in your hands.' "

By the time the attacks began to peter out the British estimated that they had killed 100 Taliban fighters. Three British soldiers were injured.

Gurkhas damn kilat is a MYTH!

Once a Gurkha pushed past me near City Square, I scolded him and he turned around and pushed me

I spat and him and we exchanged blows, I easily took the fucker down despite being much older, unlike once when I was whacked by one ah beng until damn chiak lat

I am not saying ALL Gurkhas are faggots, just that this branding of Gurkhas as fearsome is full of shit

I saw this chap lying down with his pants down to his ankles clutching his limp dick, with cum all around and noticeably exhausted. I looked across and saw this old lady in the opposite block combing her hair wth her windows wide open.

Since then I only tell the first part of the story.

Bro, let me tell you something about these mountain-folks bravery, loyalty and personality in todays era of internet, e-mail and what-not...

The forefathers of these mountain-folks like Tamangs, Gurung, Thapa, Rai and Bahadurs were recruited into the British Indian Army in India prior to India's independence, alongside the Sikhs and Marathas because of the stand they took against the British.

This led the British to recognise their fighting spirit. The British had a hard time in Nepal, Punjab and Maharashtra because of these people.
The Marathas chief Shivaji is a name respected till today.
Lord Dalhousie openly supported the Sikhs because of their discipline, valour and fine horsemanship.
The last Maharaja of Punjab, Ranjit Singh, gave the British a hard time and three major Anglo-Sikh Wars were fought before Punjab came under British India rule and so ended the Kingdom of Punjab.
This good attributes led to these people being enlisted into the British Indian Army.

It was because of their valour and other attributes that the British set up the first Sikh Contingent In Singapore. These people were housed in "Sepoy-Lines" and Pearl's Hill Barracks. They were all bearded, turbanned and sport long hair tied in a bund.

However, when the Sikhs betrayed their British masters by assembling in Farrer Park and joining the Indian National Army of Subash Chandra Bose for the liberation of India, they lost the trust of the "triumphant" British. Some of these Sikhs also committed immoral acts on British women who were prisoners under the Japanese.

This cast them into the bad light and in their place came the Gurkha Contingent to Singapore. After independence it stayed back till today. Many of them perform duties at key installations like Prisons, etc and homes of VIPs. All their families are house in a huge Complex in Joo seng Road. This complex can be homes to thousands of Singaporeans if the Gurkhas are disbanded.

Lest, it be forgotten,the Nepalese (Gurkhas) were under the command of General Dyer when he ordered them to open fire on defenceless Hindus and Sikhs (old men, women and kids) gathered at a Park outside the Golden Temple Complex. This is known as the infamous Jalianwala Bagh (Garden) Massacre. There was no way to escape and those trying to escape the gun-fire from the Gurkhas rapid fire, had to jump into a well. To the Gurkhas then it meant, "An order is an order".

Today is a different scenario altogather. The Gurkhas of present day are a far cry from their forefathers of yersteryears in terms of loyalty, valour and personality.

Today, just like Bangladesh workers workers and criminals in Singapore who are "loved dearly" by Indon and Filipina maids, the Gurkhas are also in the same game.

There is a danger as one day there may be a Nepali/Bengali conflict on a large scale as both of these people are wooing these dames.

It would be good not to forget the Korean/Thai riot in Singapore in the 80's.

I remember those days when Gurkhas guarding the old Board of Commisioner of Currency building close to the old Victoria Memorial Hall were a very disciplined lot.

These Gurkhas were a frugal lot and very loyal to their British commanders. Even no amount of "drama" could move them off the places where they were deployed. In short, if a fight was taking place close to their area of deployment, these Gurkhas will never leave their designated areas for fear that the "fight" may be staged one.

Today's Gurkhas love patronising red-light areas, can be seen seated gulping beer after beer at Aljunied Road coffesshops and even lining up for toto and 4-D in their tee-shirts with the familiar "khukris" and local police crest.

The latest overthrow of the King of Nepal also is a demonstration of their shifting of loyalties.

In a matter of time, they are not going to be serving in Britain, Brunei and may be withdrawn from the Falklands or Malaysia.

Nation like Singapore, still reliant on these folks, could best re-consider the current situation and come to a wise conclusion.

Use our own men for policing duties. Rely less on people we don't know.

The term martial race that the brits used on the various indian races obviously is all myth. You're not a fighter cos of your race. True there might be some ppl who are born fighters but their race doesn't play into the equation.

You all blow each other, you came too fast and then they all die laughing izit:(

A Fock War

The young Argentinian soldiers were conned by Pres. & Gen. Galtieri who told them not to worry, sure win. British Empire era was over and no way British forces could reach Falklands and Argentinia.

If you don't possess a strong navy, you can't keep that island. The Brits still had its aircraft carriers to support its troop and navy. Talking about Fork Land War, how we forget Conqueror ! The nuke sub HMS Conqueror.

HMS Conqueror (nickname "Conks") was a Churchill-class nuclear-powered fleet submarine that served in the Royal Navy from 1971 to 1990. She was built by Cammell Laird in Birkenhead (the only British nuclear fleet submarine not to be built at Barrow-in-Furness). She is the only nuclear-powered submarine known to have engaged an enemy ship with torpedoes, sinking the cruiser ARA General Belgrano with two Mark 8 torpedoes during the 1982 Falklands War.[note 1]
Conqueror was the third submarine of her class, following on from the earlier Churchill and Courageous. The submarines were designed to face the Soviet threat at sea by attacking other ships and submarines, and spying on Soviet nuclear-armed submarine movements.

On 2 May Conqueror became the first nuclear-powered submarine to fire in anger launching three Mark 8 torpedoes at Belgrano,[note 2] two of which struck the ship and exploded.

Night Snacks Kill

simi taichi? You kenna called out for talking cock by kukubird and you call me out?

You got moderator duty. Just like people call 999 for police.

Hahahaha ! Hilarious. Why he got weekend duty one ? Got extra night snack or not ?

Kohliantye, very well written. Impressive.

 

[scroobal]

Bro, we need to take this in the right and you are not far off the mark.

Firstly they are no saints or angels. They are no different any other person. However their stock in trade is their soldering skills and their noted valour in the course of battle. On per capita basis, they have won the most VCs.

The core Gurkha contingent is about 400 and they are highly skilled. The remaining 1,600 were brought in guard vital installations and Changi Prison watch towers because the locals found it boring.

They are here for 3 reasons (1) watch the old man and his family (2) intervene in a race riot and (3) put down an SAF mutiny.

For nearly 40 years they were no allowed to do any form of policing. In the late 90s, Bill Niven convinced the then new PM GCT that his men were getting very bored. There have been suicides while doing sedentary duties including one in Whitley. They were then allowed limited roles.

In the past, they did their brothel activities in Hatyai courtesy of Police transport and the Thai authorities complained. As i said they are no different to any man.

To tell you the truth a real gurkha doesn't look that different from this sinkie nsf.

 

[KoalaJack]

Re: Night Snacks Kill

strong, loyal, good soldiers all true but dumbass...they cant handle modern equipment as mentioned in a military report some time back. not enough intelligence perhaps. thats why they only 'jagas' for installations and VIPs. theyre just overhyped. in asia, Jack think BOTH Koreans can whack them hands-down and indonesians too.

and true, its the british SAS and Marines that won the Falklands.

 

[Kinana]

I don't believe you can beat a Gurkha unless he is a Gurkha kid born and bred in Singapore one which is just a Nepali, technically not a Gurkha.
I know these Gurkhas very well, they are super fit and they are well trained in karate.
