Написал комментарий к посту "Задача трех тел" и прочие глупости
Я фильм не смотрел, я книгу читаю. Спойлеры (Вы, как помню, читали):
3. С этого книга и начинается. Остекление Сахары, ядерные взрывы антарктических льдов, совместная работа над астрофагами... - когда я прочел, то сразу понял - ненаучная фантастика, начатая в счастливые доковидные годы.

Если еще интересуют кашмирские подразделения, посмотри The Gilgit Scouts, в некотором роде пограничники (там плавающая граница была).
The Gilgit Scouts were formally established in 1913 by Major J.C. Bridges of the 5th Gurkha Rifles (Frontier Force), who reorganized the existing Punial Levies into a structured paramilitary unit to bolster frontier defense in the Gilgit Agency, a northern outpost of the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir under British oversight.[8][3]
This formation addressed the need for a reliable local force capable of patrolling rugged border regions against potential incursions from Soviet or tribal threats, drawing recruits primarily from indigenous mountain communities such as those in Hunza, Nagar, Punial, and Yasin.[9]Initially, the Scouts comprised approximately 582 to 656 personnel, organized into eight companies of roughly 80 men each, ... Command was vested in British officers, supplemented by native sub-officers, emphasizing mobility, scouting, and light infantry tactics suited to high-altitude operations rather than conventional warfare.[8]
The unit's primary mandate involved internal security, border surveillance, and rapid response to unrest in the agency, functioning as an irregular auxiliary to regular British Indian forces while remaining funded and equipped by the Maharaja's administration under British guidance.[1]By the early 1920s, the Scouts had demonstrated effectiveness in suppressing local rebellions and conducting reconnaissance, which solidified their role as a cornerstone of colonial frontier management, though their small size limited them to defensive rather than offensive capabilities.[3]
