Just got back from Jasol. The Swarnim Vijay function at Gen Hanut Singhji's memorial was stirring and emotional event. Candy and I are grateful that we could attend the function and get to feel the phenomenon that 'The Hanut ' has become.
His persona is etched deep in the hearts of the people of the area.
Coming from an illustrious family of warriors and Saints like Rawal Mallinathji, his wife Rani Rupade and Rani Bhatiyani , it was awesome to experience the respect commanded by the General beyond the army
We should be thankful GOC 12 Corps for directing the function to be held there despite the difficult logistics. And for paying honours in person. We are indeed grateful to him for his sensitivity. The General spoke very well about Gen Hanut Singhji and in his address
He referred to the General as 'Bhishma pitamah' of the Army. A very apt description indeed.
A word was sent out to PH men that the Swarnim Vijay function was being held to commemorate Gen Saheb. And the came in numbers 60 of them. Including Hony Capt Nathu Singh Ris Prag Singh
Hony Capt Kushal Singh and Deep Singh Saheb. All'71 war veterans. Our men came from across the state travelling under own arngs in these COVID times to attend the three hour function. They came from Marwar Jaipur Jaisalmer Bikaner Shergarh, n Shekhawati.
For the Shekhawati party of Ram Niwas Sb, Ris Paip Singh and Ris Brijender Singh it was a 650 km journey one way. Kudos to their spirit.
our men brought along their children and grand children so that they could experience the phenomenon that is 'The Hanut' and draw inspiration.

So ....
1. The first wave was launched to trip over the world . It was a disruptive attack. World economies staggered as they were caught unprepared and surprised with its impact. It was centred around US, UK, Europe Brazil, India. Observe Middle East was spared the impact.
2. The second wave came with tailor made mutants. Targeted towards India UK and Brazil. For reasons Brazil has rubbed the Chinaman the wrong way that it is getting the thick end of the stick. There are reasons.
3. The second wave is to make India kneel. Coz it didn't do so in Ladakh and China had to eat crow at Galwan. It is not a usual occurrence for PLA to pull back under pressure. Loss of face in the frigid heights of Ladakh and Galwan was immense. Retaliation was coming.

China man miscalculated. What was to be a neat salami slice op along with added toppings of doing down Indian Govt, has gone horribly wrong. Now they are getting the butt end of the rifle.
Asiatic, is looking for a face save and pull back.
For some time chinaman made a Charlie out of everyone. The MEA, the politicians, the military ( those hand in hand trainings). Some mil offrs were more into (military) diplomacy then keeping a sharp eye on the adversary.
The Chinese carried out strategic deception, hiding their true intentions. However Indian response after initial surprise has been tough, and that ‘ol chinaman did not expect. Came at a cost when 20 soldiers were bludgeoned to death at Galway.

In our armament trials we place overmuch stress on issues that are of marginal imp. For MBT ARJUN ATGM firing through gun has become a make or break issue. Whereas in A-tk engagements gun tube ATGM engagements by tanks will be rare. The KE fired by the gun will be primary mode
So we’ve allowed the marginal player to affect project viability. Similarly for NAG we insist on certain parameters that are rarely required. Lack of that and we reject the system. This all or nothing approach has to change. Few ATGMs with seekers will lock on at extreme ranges
In peak summer temp. Instead of only seeker based ATGMs we should field a mix of guided and Seeker based systems. Both compliment each other.
We should be circumspect about what the TV (ATGM) salesman says. Gotta use our own brains too, else then capability gap with PLA will

PM Modi’s speech today was a mastercraft in the ‘ Strategy of Indirect Approach’. It was not about COVID but rather a strong message to the Chinese.
1. By not referring to China or Ladakh at all he conveyed that he is in full control, is clear in his mind what he wants done .
And had a clear vision of the end result.
2. He downgraded the Chinese threat to a non entity.
3. He conveyed the difference in Indian and Chinese polity, where unlike China the indian leaders directly communicates with fellow citizens.
4. He conveyed the message that the people of India are with him and in circumstances will stand solidly behind him. Xi can’t say they got himself. He and his CCP have yo keep the people suppressed to survive. That difference was demonstrated and message sent out loud and clear.

COVID 19 a Bio weapon.
Threat things are panning out is indicative that COVID is a bio wpn.
1. Initial info curved by China.
2. Then media release that it was caused by eating bats.
3. Release in Wuhan where they have a bio wpn facility.
4. Game plan was in place.
5. Multiple 1000 bed prefab hospitals set up in a very short time. Thousands of medical personnel mobilised.
6. Huge qty of Spl eqpt mobilised in very short time.
7. Intense measures used to control population.
8. By 20 March COVID Controlled in China.
Obviously there was a battle plan in place and that was activated. On the other hand rest of the world has been handed a sucker punch in the stomach.
Major economic setback has been inflicted all economic activity has been crushed, as world nations struggle to cope.

#pakairstrike a few issues that need to be flagged.
1. Why did pak choose dating to launch an air strike. Was it becoz there was no indian AWACS on station at the time.
2.pak fighters took off from multiple airfds and adopted swarm tactics as they headed towards LoC
3. As they crossed the 10 km no fly zone of LOC why were they not engaged automatically by IAF fighters with BVRs. Why did we wait till they crossed LOC before engaging them. That it seems is against SOP. Were our fighters held back from engaging.
4. Pak Aircraft fired 4 AMRAAMS all of which missed. That is not the point use of AMRAAMS is a serious escalation. Why did we not engage with our BVRs across the LOC. Only Wc Abhinandan appears to have closed to R13 ranges. In fact our long range engagement should have commenced
