.@SecBlinken refuses #Polish proposal that the #US should transfer 🇵🇱 #Mig29s to #Ukraine.
In light of the #Fulcrum limbo of the past days I would like to reiterate that it is possible to reinforce Ukrainian #airdefence in another ways. @gmfus

As I argued a couple of days ago, the transfer of Soviet-era air superiority fighters from #NATO stocks could be an important symbolic move, but they are not the ideal #airdefence assets under the given circumstances. Arguments below 👇

#Ukrainian ground based #airdefence systems have been really successful over the past 13 days. Even if the transfer of fighter planes is a no go, SAM systems with #Russian origin still in service in NATO countries could be potentially delivered to #Ukraine.

Surely every serious national security strategist understands the distinction btwn Govts Geopolitical decisions and th military's detailed scenario planning & action program. A govt can decided on basis of expected value of outcome or worst case scenarios-the latter is paralyzing
2/ns The critical issue in China-India conflict is that,as of now (2020), #China controls the #escalatory ladder. So India's #National #Security Apparatus has to make assumptions about when and how #CCPpla will escalate, if it loses the first few steps on its escalatory ladder!
3/ns The worst case scenario for us is therefore the one in which after loosing previous escalations, #CCP China escalates to a full fledged war/attack on India, by shifting US-facing troops and highest quality equipment towards India. This has proved paralyzing for past Govts!🤔

Where's the expert analysis about choice of S-400 by India?
I never knew @RANDCorporation came out with such absolutely nothing blogs!
Lets see where India stands on points raised by him -
(1) Combined Air Picture: IAF operates a robust Integrated Air Command and Control System (IACCS) which merges inputs from all available radar sources to build the big radar picture of air-space. #radars

A S-400 regiment will know about the air-threats (air-craft or missiles or cruise missile) irrespective of what its own radar picks-up.
(2) Radar Horizon: IAF operates multiple types of radars. These are -
(a) High Power Radar [THD-1955 ]

My friend and erstwhile colleague @GovindSankar reminded me of this.
In 1994, I was elated at being accepted by the super-prestigious Tata Administrative Service, #TAS right after my #MBA . I was even more thrilled when I was chosen to be a part of the Tata Singapore Airlines JV
...to start a world class airline in India - perhaps the most exciting thing happening in Indian aviation, if not Indian industry, at that time. Very few people know that the original inspiration for Singapore Airlines was JRD Tata’s @airindiain -
– then amongst the best airlines in the world. The bureaucrats from #Singapore came to learn from him and his company on how to build a world-class airline out of Singapore.

Petit Thread sur l’effet d’optique, le biais et surtout la communication de l’Etat sur la #vitesse, les #radars et les #morts sur #route.
Prenons donc ce graphique qui est véhiculé, depuis quelques années, par l’Etat, précisément ONSR.
Nous ferons abstraction ici d’un élément qui ferait croire qu’il n’y a que 2 solutions (radars/alcool) en oubliant progrès techno, ABS,,...
