Useful, constructive analyses about CDS statements are now cropping up. Here's a good one:

CDS did what he was sent to do at Shangri La

Y I Patel

There may be more to it, but at a minimum this is what CDS did: he robbed Pakistan of their prime reason of declaring this as their victory. HIs message is simple: yes there were losses because of tactical errors, but we learned from them and applied our learnings with great success on May 9/10 If t...

Y I Patel

Folks you don’t know a fraction of what he does

You don’t have the faintest clue of where he and India are headed with this

You are trying to put yourselves in his shoes. Sorry, not a wise thing to do.

Hold your horses, let it play out

Y I Patel

I went and reheard the response to that question. The one idea he repeated twice in his to the point response: what is important is why they went down. He wants everyone to start asking “why did the Indian jet go down”. Rest is noise

Y I Patel

Never thought I would see the day when Reuters gets CDS messaging better than Indians:

India says changed tactics worked well in conflict with Pakistan

Y I Patel

All is not well with India-France ties. In the same Shangri La conference Macron came up with an obnoxious == reference to Op Sindoor and I don’t know why Indian media didn’t go to town on that

Y I Patel

Now we have the most credible source confirming the loss of a jet. Admitting in public to a known China mouthpiece that the loss was due to a tactical error. By all accounts, looks like it was a Rafale that was shot down. So connecting the dots the most obvious conclusion is that the tactical error ...

Y I Patel

I’m inclined to not jump to conclusions just yet. What was the tactical mistake that he had to admit on record to an international media outlet that would be expected to hype up the loss? I beg to differ on media management. The communications so far have been very disciplined. No reason to believe ...

Y I Patel

Articulated with incredible clarity, AdityaVM. Kudos and thank you

One of the terrorists involved was an ex PA commando. This changes things:

Nitin Gokhle, one of our most respected National Security analysts, is wondering about the same messaging:

Very interesting how GoI signaling about kinetic action is evolving

Y I Patel

Goi is sending unmistakable signals that no immediate military action should be expected. First was absence of CDS in CCS meeting photo, next was absence of military leaders from n APM, third is HM going to brief President. IMO GoI is now going for gray zone warfare after suspending IWT. You heard i...

Y I Patel

Deans, you are on the spot as usual in your assessment of the implications of Shimla Pact suspension. My fervent dream and one that I have expressed many times on BRF is the recapture of Kishanganga valley and the extended area up to Burzil pass. I would further point out the valley just north of Sh...

Modern data centers are 24/7 energy hogs. SMRs could address that demand

Y I Patel

For the first time in my life I voted as a Hindu. Trump condemning the pogroms in Bangladesh sealed the deal for me.

Y I Patel

Bangladesh is like a bus racing downhill with failed brakes. The unfolding horrors, including genocide of Bangladeshi Hindus, are fore-ordained. The silver lining is that the India-friendly driver was extracted at the eleventh hour, so Indian support can no longer be the excuse for what is to follow...

Y I Patel

Absolutely not. In general directed against reporters and commentators.

Y I Patel

There is a vicious undeclared battle going on right now, and we are getting less than half the story. We want to recognize our forces’ bravery and sacrifices, so the grim news we are hearing should not stop. I do find it highly objectionable when people use fragmentary information to cede victory to...

Y I Patel

This is to pressure Indian Judiciary to go easy on Kejriwal and Congress. Notice the drama by Kejriwal and Co after his arrest by ED.

Hope this is fought tooth and nail. The fighting has to be G2G, can’t be pushed into the shadows.

Y I Patel

CAA notified!

Don't know if this has been seen previously, but it's the first time I am seeing the location of Point 5353 indicated on a map instead of having to infer it. Very helpful because one can use the location of Tiger Hill in Google Maps to orient oneself to 5353: And a link to the original tweet: https:...

Taogatsalu is on the way to Kongka La and Karan Singh post. To PP 17 in other words. Seems like a new project that avoids Marsimik La. Huge development, but quite the norm nowadays for India! Bravo! Expect a glitzy video from @rvats now

Was the special parliamentary session held in anticipation of this Turdoo dump? We’ll find out- look out for joint fireworks towards the end of the session. Tit for tat with Canadian parliament

Y I Patel

NZ is the most nefarious spy of them all. Flies below the radar

Y I Patel

GoI has escalated every single day since this broke. Today’s signals via Indian media: * Canadian Intel is feeding Turdoo motivated propaganda * Canada has also been complicit in supporting acts of terror against Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Ukraine(!!!) * USA needs to straighten out its ally or risk l...

Electricity transmission cables between India and Saudi Arabia will be able to dramatically prolong Solar power generation uptimes

Y I Patel

Thanks for the article wig. Shows how much preparation went on before the actual Siachen expedition. Interesting that PAF was buzzing Indian expeditions even in 1978 when Pakistan in general was still in disarray

I believe AGPL. All are north of NJ9842

I’m hoping that the special session is to pass legislation to set up Joint Tri-Service Commands

Y I Patel

Congratulations to all concerned for this watershed moment!

Also, heartfelt thanks to all who made this the best thread to visit for any information on this topic.

Why is CY3 orbit around the Earth an ellipse with the earth near one end of it?

Y I Patel

The street level story is that the Indian ambassador to France has gone rogue on the GoI. Sent to dismantle anti-India leftists in France, the ambassador (and family) has been aiding the leftists within France!! He was just given a year’s extension … so very likely the word on the street is wrong

Y I Patel

The article mentions that what is now fashionably called hybrid warfare was practiced by Russia/USSR a century ago. What it leaves out is that this kind of hybrid warfare including instigating uprisings was widespread practice leading up to WW-1 by the British, Germans, Russians et al. So this feign...

I suspect that G’s goal in becoming Ambassador to India was to affect a political makeover from being a huge China supporter. That is something he shares with a large chunk of American establishment. Disha unfortunately this exchange with Amber is becoming blue on blue at a personal level. As anothe...

Y I Patel

The USA now has far greater desire than India will allow for it to be involved in India-China dispute.

India’s strategy is to dangle the prospect of greater American involvement with both China and America

Pretty smart approach, if you ask me

A few years ago, whenever the GE F414 deal came up it was in connection with sale of some F series aircraft. No mention of that sale anymore which is significant.

Has engine deal been delinked from a MMRCA sale?
