Meta guy was giving a way out to @thewire_in by bringing in 'Wire might've been subjected to a hoax' angle rather than directly accusing them of forgery. Rather then take the lifeline, our commie journalist gang is doubling down on digging a deeper hole for themselves.
By trying to brazen it out on a technology related issue on Twitter, Wire has exposed itself to Indian RW crowd - many of whom could wipe the floor with Wire's tech team with their pinky finger! Don't cry when you'll be shredded to pieces. #Wire
All that Meta did was put out two statements with a consistent message - report by Wire is based on fabricated documents. Wire desperately tried to prove itself correct but ended-up digging an even bigger hole for itself. And today, Wire has thrown in the towel. And how!
Wire thought this Meta expose will be its David vs Goliath moment where it rises like a Phoenix on global stage! A small news outlet takes on world's biggest tech enterprise. What glory! What applause! I'm sure a Pulitzer Prize was also thought of. But all Tain, Tain, Phiss!

- BTW, when people crib about order qty for systems like LCH, please understand that production rate has to match the absorption rate with a Service.
- It takes time to create infra and more critically, trained manpower to operate & maintain a new system.
- Larger the existing+
+ pool, easier and faster to absorb a new system.
- Take the case of artillery - it has a huge manpower and infra pool to quickly absorb new guns.
- Plus, new guns while being more modern, are not radically different from earlier guns.
- Army Aviation Corps is in an +
+ expansion phase.
- Cheetah, Chetak, Dhruvs, Rudra and now LCH.
- There is only that much manpower available to milk and divert for new inductions and raising(s).
- I expect pilots from IA's Rudra squadrons to form nucleus of LCH induction.
- But manpower is limited and +
- Here are some interesting points on the disengagement site discussed by @VishnuNDTV
- First, these Chinese posts are opposite PP15 in the side valley going north from Kugrang River.
- Its NOT in Gogra or Hot Springs region which have PP17A, PP17 and PP18
- Map in next tweet +
- Overview of the Chang-Chenmo Sector.
- You can see PP15&16, Chinese claim line (red) and location of the Chinese site under discussion.
- The LAC here is not in dispute here and this is the first time Chinese have created claim extending across their 1959 claim line and LAC +
+ Why were the Chinese acting antsy here?
- Because PP15 leads directly to upper reaches of Galwan river (blue line) which has large Chines presence.
- Chinese fear Indian attack along this axis.
- Forget direct assault; even Indian artillery placed in Kugrang Valley can +
Future IT Hub?
- Given another episode of infra woes in Bangalore, questions are being asked, again, as to why no other city can emerge as the IT hub?
- Let me share with you a real world experience from my professional life, which I hope will answer this + #bangalorerains
+ question to some extent.
- Many moons ago, I was consulting for a big developer, who for some reason had huge land bank in Mysore.
- A part of their leadership believed that given the proximity of Mysore to Bangalore, IT/ITES office demand will spill into Mysore as well.
+
+ Some others were skeptical and this is where my company came into picture.
- How do you address this question?
- Well, we devised a plan where we basically went and met a wide variety of IT/ITES companies in Bangalore and Mysore to take their opinion on Mysore as possible +
@elmihiro@arzandc This is the ground reality, one can slice & dice it anyway one wants: 1. In the 90s and before 2014, the Chinese managed to claim & occupy 100s of sq.km of Indian territory with only a couple of Border Defense Regiments (BDR). 2. The Chinese literally fingered +
@elmihiro@arzandc + India so much that the Indian Army started a process of bringing existing formations back to their original strength (diluted earlier as troops were moved into Kashmir for CI Ops) and adding new formations. 3. This happened in Eastern Ladakh, Himachal-Tibet border, and +
@elmihiro@arzandc + Uttarakhand-Tibet border. Plus, Sikkim-Tibet sector. 4. Has anyone tried to understand why the Chinese went to such a great length to induct troops from outside Tibet this time as they tried to grab more territory? 5. Answer lies in what happened in September 2014 in Chumur +
Honestly, haven't read a more pedestrian article on India's defense R&D. There is a lack of understanding about Indian defense set-up at a fundamental level amongst out IR community. One could write a small book pointing out the errors in this piece. Quite pathetic.
Let me take one example from this - NAG ATGM.
- If the authors had done their research, they would not have lamented on its timeline.
- Why?
- Because if you compare the timeline for induction of other 3rd Generation, Fire & Forget ATGMs, NAG is more or less on time +
+
- Not only that, it had to meet extreme user (Indian Army) expectations, which no other 3rd Gen, F&F ATGM has been able to meet.
- And except for Israel's Spike LR, there is no other 3rd Gen, F&F missile in same range class as NAG ATGM.
- Plus, look at the benefits +
- This fauji langar gup peddler masquerading as a defense reporter has issue with the army calling its exercise in Ladakh as Blitzkrieg.
- Why? Because the Chinese might get spooked and get wrong ideas! 🤪 indianexpress.com/article/cities…
Indian Army just scaled the highest peak on the entire Aksai Chin plateau. Which gives an unobstructed view for 100s of km, deep inside Chinese controlled Aksai Chin plateau. Just saying!
PS: yellow dot is approx. location of DBO
This screenshot from the video of the climb shared by the army is most probably from the summit. Look at the depth of the view and horizon in the background.
