Sharing what a senior serving bureaucrat told me today re #Bengalburning

1. Violence will calm down in 24/48 hrs. Ms have been given enough time to take out the anger against Hindus for saying Jai Shri Ram. Message has been sent- we can murder, rape you

@Sanjay_Dixit

1/n
at will and you are not allowed to fight back. Hindu resistance has been broken. DM/DC across country do the same thing- let Muslims attack but stop Hindu self defence. PM has being doing the same for a long time.

Maybe BJP assesses that it will not hurt them electorally

2/n
But it has set a very bad precedent and reinforced the resolve of M's to assert their strength. As there will be no consequences either from the state or from Hindus.This will increase attacks on Hindus across the board as we have been seeing for some time

It will also

3/n
fuel breakaway tendencies of states under the garb of ''federalism''

Nation will pay a heavy price for obsession with leadership's image with international and domestic media which will always remain that of a 'fascist' anyway. What more will we sacrifice to this obsession?

In the below tweet thread I had shown how India had the edge over China on land and air. But I had not covered the naval dimension.

Many have asked me to do so. Here goes

1. PLAN has a massive numbers advantage over IN especially in submarines

1/n
in.finance.yahoo.com/news/does-indi…
PLAN has 60 odd subs of which 35 are modern and capable of blue water ops. We have 13 odd which are available for Ops

2. 🇨🇳 subs can come into our waters via the Mallaca Straits. Its a 2700 nautical mile one way journey and the channel very narrow and just 25 mt deep

2/n
So PLAN subs will to surface while transiting the channel. They will be picked up by ISR assets very easily and tracked till they dive. Yes we are very short of ASW heptrs and can barely manage 08 but we do have 9 P8I a/c and can certainly hunt them at Mallaca straits.

Understand and respect your citizen concern but this is Chinese psychological ops. Let me to set your mind at ease

1. No one has caught us by our jugular vein. If they could, they would have launched sustained shutdowns during Corps Cdr negotiations. You threaten before or

1/n
during negotiations, not after you have conceded

2. Why did Chinese demolish all their structures and literally run back? Because they did not want to fight as they knew they would loose badly. If they could shut electric grids down they would have done it then

2/n
3. Yes, they are certainly going to try to launch cyber attacks. Its part of their openly states 3 warfares doctrine. But its not very effective till now because most of our grids are offline

4. The threat will grow and we must focus on countering it. But by no stretch is

I have not come across anyone who knows so little about military matters as @PravinSawhney. He regularly makes very basic mistakes in his military assessments. Let me show his big errors wrt #Disengagement

1. North Bank - China had a big advantage on North Bank because of

1/n
the road from Srijap fort to F4 (chinese claim line). After F4, further access to East ie F3, F2 and so on is via a narrow foot track. Vehicles could not go there. So when we wanted to patrol from F4 to F8 (our claim line) we would have to come from F3 on foot and walk to F8

2/n
Chinese could react very quickly and come in vehicles and block our patrols

Chinese have also built strong defences, habitat along the north bank since last June when #indiachinastandoff started. In fact they even took positions on the heights of the fingers

Now they are

Main factor was that Chinese did not have the military advantage that they thought they did. They did not understand the terrain and operational art. Battles are determined by what forces you bring to bear in theatre and how you use them. Chinese could bring to bear

1/n
barely 200 odd 4/4.5 gen a/c due to paucity of air fields close to theatre. Heights of their airfileds and lack of logistics on those airfields hampered their optimal use

They brought 2 Divs (4th and 6th) and we countered with atleast 2 (3 and 39). Given the terrain even

2/n
if they brought 10 Divs, which they don't have, they can still only deploy them sequentially because of terrain. And if we dominate the passes like Spangur then we can pick off their armour easily

Most importantly they have no stomach for a fight. They were trying to win

What is the Indian Army Honour Code ? What is the Chetwode Code ?

I have never tweeted about these but today my conscience does not allow me to stay silent. We are told about the Honour Code by senior officers, including a Gen officer. We are told we must stand shoulder

1/n
to shoulder with brother veterans at ALL COSTS

An airforce veteran pilot with @goairlinesindia can call for dismemberment of India, he can condone death of CAPF staff, he can be openly tweet hate about Hindus but we must support him

Sorry sirs, this is NOT the Honour Code

2/n
Honour code / Chetwode Code is - Country First Always and every time. Its not a mafia like Omerta code of silence in face of anything including dismemberment of the nation

How can we forget what Maj Gen Shabegh Singh did ? He was a decorated with PVSM and AVSM but yet he

Interesting re-orientation of Indian Army strike formations. Lets analyse this and assess if full move is necessary :

1. Strike 1 will shed its strike arm 33 Armoured Div to AHQ reserve and reorient itself to Northern Theatre as its Strike arm

1/n
theprint.in/defence/army-p…
Is its role to provide reserves for an offensive in Ladakh/GB or is it to reinforce our defensive posture. What will 17 Mountain Strike Corps role be ?

2. To answer these questions lets first look at threat and deployment in Ladakh. 3 Div which is responsible for

2/n
Eastern Ladakh has been reinforced by another Div. These formations are supported by adequate armour and mech forces plus a big IAF build up. My assessment is that this is adequate for our defensive posture given the threat of Chinese 4th and 6th Divisions in E Ladakh
