Lets not have rose tinted glasses here. Anyhow if there is a strategy is in place the procurement process does not perhaps find mention in that!! And VinodTK just because the Air Chief set a bad precedent by being public about Theaterisation does not mean other chief’s have to follow suit. These thi...

NSS etc are politico military strategy documents. I dont think India is yet at the stage such things can be published. Am sure General is aware of its contours if not the fine print. Still just a revealing data point. I still would like the full transcript and not press report as we don't know the ...

Fanne, The NSS will dictate the kind of war we will fight so yes designing a operational force that meets the NSSs needs is a must. After alll why are we theaterising and creating IBGs? Theaterisation because of the reforms suggested and IBGs because of the kind of war the IA thinks will be palatabl...

So you are saying that as Army Chief he was not privy to what the NSS is?

Or that as Chief he did not bother to ascertain whether there was one - which goes againt the accepted wisdom of his competence.

Again he in Delhi is saying that we should have one. Not that we should publicise it.

ks_sachin

VinodTK the former chief may have stated it while in office. He did not go to the media. Ramana garu if the former chief says that the NSS is not defined then perhaps there is a possibility that it is so. He was quite a respected and erudite CoAS. He is not asking for the NSS to be made public is he...

Deans,

I have a feeling that there is not likely to be any large scale offensive. While there may be more troops I dont think the Russians are in a position to commit across a broad front.

^^^ Horrific. What sort of follow ups, investigations, are done for this sort of tragedy in India. Is there any movement to try as far as possible, to prevent the same thing happening again? Or is it left to the whims of individual drivers. There will be a court of inquiry. The best way to prevent ...

Niran I have been up to the plateau in Tibet. There is no way the Chinese can surprise us there. We already had armr there in the late 1990s. How effective it was is a question to be asked. But dad commanded the brigade there and also his paltan was deployed in the Demchok area before Bde Command. A...

BTW, late last night Garland Nixon mentioned that India has no choice but to join Russia and China. And, that Russia was trying to broker between waring India and China. India cannot straddle this divide. NRao Why do we not have a choice? Is there something preventing us from joining the US camp?

Garuds and Marcos are involved in regular CI Ops as well as part of their deployment in the valley.

They are detachments embedded with IA SF bns and take part in regular ops. Much like SF bns who are based elsewhere send detachments to J&K. For example 2 Para SF which is down south has 2 Coy worth of troops up North. Nothing like live action to hone combat skills. SAR is just one of the jobs o...

Even if there was no newly inducted unit in the area, a battalion deployed in a forward position would have a rifle company in reserve (and its heavy weapons company).

Admiral,

I thought that after simulator training part of the marine pilot curriculum was to actually do carrier landings. OR are you saying that completing simulator training allows you to be completely carrier ops qualified?
