Still believe that IAF must re-look at its Rules of Engagement as we faced similar issues in a post Balakot scenario. In that scenario too, the approaching Paki jets (with intent) and armed should have been deterred with long range shots, which would have created panic and reduced the risk faced by ...

Brilliantly executed op by the Ukrainian armed forces. It needed a lot of ground support and the coordination of intelligence would provide a lot of military lessons. On the other hand, it's a huge loss for Russia considering the limited number of bombers available in their fleet. Hard to imagine th...

What is wrong with our CDS. This kind of information needs to come from official channels (if at all) and not blurted out at a random forum

An operational aspect that I'm hoping some experts will help clarify regarding Operation Sindhoor and even the fall out from Operation Bandar is regarding the rules of engagement followed by IAF, which on the surface seem to greatly increasese the risk to assets and pilots, and all that for what - s...

Brilliant news. We have cut off the head of the snake and its only downward for this movement now. Hopefully the good news of hidma's head follows soon.

Think it's quite obvious to any English speaker that 'it's a shame' means it's unfortunate that it has to come to this, but read the overall context and understand that it was not meant as a slight or it should never have been done.

Our greatest strength lies in either standoff weapons strike or leveraging our naval prowess to strangulate Pakistan. Both of which we have not used in decades and instead opted to use special forces (uri) or IAF (Balakot). The Pakistan Navy is a bit of a nothing force with 3 modern subs and few lig...

Modi 3.0 is on the path to becoming another upa 3.0. There is inaction in all fronts, be it LOC, civil services reform, law and order enforcement, appeasement. Soon there will be a slowdown in infrastructure works, followed by an overall policy paralysis, if the government does not wake up. It is be...

Hope modi 3.0 sarkar gets itself together soon. Far too many incidents seem to be gaining traction lately with potentially negative outcomes. NEET leaks, unresponded pak provocation (continued ceasefire is a huge mistake), the recent hit and run with sena leaders kid. It's their third term and some ...

It was bound to and this can have untold consequences. Don't see how Moscow can even further escalate on Kyiv without making their own capital a perfectly legitimate target for NATO weapons

USA will fight Russia till the last Ukranian It's all win win for uncle Sam. The mil-ind complex is booming, a stuttering Nato has now expanded and united than it was previously and it may have ensured a permanently hostile Ukraine right at Russian border.

The fact that the Chinese are not budging despite months of negotiations and they are stonewalling, while we are the ones calling for normalcy gives some credence to the story even if its from the wire. If the buffer zones were on Chinese controlled territory then we would be the ones sitting smug....

I happened to hear parts of Putin's speech on New Year's day. Essentially declared Russia is going it alone and that Russia is ready for the clean cut from the West. And, that the collective West is the enemy. Easier said than done. Nine out of ten Russians see themselves as European and want to st...

450 km is a excellent range when combined with the combat radius of SU30 MKI. The chances of survivability of an Chinese surface vessel in the bay of Bengal when facing multiple such barrages is minimal. Elimination of surface vessels is the first objective we will need to achieve to ensure that our...

With the new commander in charge of operations and attacks on civilian infrastructure (including drone strikes in the capital this morning) the strategy seems to be to badger ...

Thank god for pilot safety

Given the way Russia was losing ground in South and east regions, this kind of response was anticipated as a way for Russia to distract Ukraine and force them to redeploy precious resources. If Ukraine continues to retake territory in annexed regions, then one would expect these attacks to further i...

It certainly is impressive, too cobble together a mercenary force this quickly and enforce a numerical advantage over Russia during the counter offensive. I find it a little unreal on how Ukraine forces can advance this quickly and overrun Russian defences, which continue to remain unorganized

The dems have always shown a proclivity towards indo pak equal equal and its deeply entrenched in their mindset. Biden has learnt his ropes from Obama and much of the same seems under implementation. It's a political mindset and I hope we keep displaying the kind of spine we have off late. It's the ...

The point here being that they want us to transition to US weapon systems which is equally bad.

We need atmanirbharta and that's just it

Russian troops appear to be encircled around Lyman and it might be a matter of days before they either surrender, flee or are killed. This might open the way for further advances by Ukraine in the Donstek region before winter comes around. The chances of Russia surprising Ukraine troops is also low ...

Surely we cannot endorse this referendum held by Russia or recognize said territories given our own geopolitical compulsions. If anything, for India Ukraine remains the territory as it was before the way. Wonder what our official view of this annexation will be after the war has ended. Not to mentio...

If EU does manage to find an alternative to Russian energy, where does that leave Russia in the long run. With China slowing to a new normal and India hardly a consumer of that level, things might start looking a little dodgy for Russia. I always wondered and hoped for the demise of middle east infl...

The movie does not work mainly because it is a crap movie. It does not resonate with anyone and is just a scene by scene copy of a movie that Indians have no connection to. Good movies work, irrespective of content or star. Also, look at the fate of raksha bandhan movie. Crashed without a whimper, d...

Even I'm uncertain on how this works. Modi ji did step in to finalize 36 rafale. Surely he can step in again to cut down on MRFA, order additional rafale and compel the IAF to order LCA in greater numbers.

Why is the government subservient to the IAF and not the other way round

Nihat

IAF will never learn, unless they are forced to.

Two pilots sacrificed their lives today in a MiG-21 crash in Rajasthan. It literally makes me weep that here we have HAL willing to increase the production capacity of Mk1A, but the IAF is refusing to make a commitment to our own product and instead flying Russian junk. Is it really not possible for...

Ultimately, if Russia becomes a PRC vassal. The net loser is the US. I think that Russians at this point in time will be happy to pay the price. If the US can be brought down a peg or 2.

Adrija ji. Tend to agree with you regarding the larger picture. Sometimes, we need to retreat from a battle to win the war.

The Arab nations are stooges of the west and have no independent foreign policy. Like many learned members have pointed out, it's just a result of the pressure poured on by the western nations and India refusing to toe the line.

Don't think this has much to do with the ceasefire. We have a multi layered grid to protect pakis coming in. This is the handiwork of the local population who give away details of KPs and other non locals. There was a good article on swarajya stating how locals, without even meeting handlers are exe...

It will probably take the prime minister to stake all his goodwill into another G2G deal to get this over the line. Only worry is that they may choose to wait till after May 2024 to sign any deals in order to avoid controversy

Yup, this seems like common sense now. 5 squadrons of rafale and that's a solid enough force. Onwards and upwards towards atmanirbharta because that is simply the only way ahead.

What is the disbursement and voting criteria for IMF?.
