Peak. Vapalla Balachandran made a recommendation in 2004. Sushil kumar shinde was a past friend of Vappala and was chief minister of Maharashtra in 2004. He ignored Balachandran's recommendation and didn't even read it properly, evidently from how he interpreted the crux Image
Image 2) The former NSA in 2006 warned that sea based attacks on BARC could happen. Maharashtra government at the time had got prior intelligence that LeT was preparing for a sea borne attack. It keeps getting worse. Image

i have an idea. Dedicated fixed wing aircraft. for the army. for CAS and COIN with STOL. No need to exhaust the airforce. COIN rotatory wing makes sense but for CAS fixed wing is better. Anyway rotatory wing these days cost the same as fixed wing aircraft. Helicopters dominate counter-insurgency because they can:
Hover
Insert/extract troops
Fire precisely in tight terrain
Operate in valleys, jungles, cities
But helicopters have two big limitations:
Short range
Low speed(susceptibility to MANPADs, AA guns)

But the Indian army went from expedetionary force to one defensively oriented being reactive than proactive. What changed? political change alone?? we have to adapt to a proactive posture and give up being the better one in negotiations. Not only reactive but also offensive posturing if needed. The world is made of bullies. You can't pretend to be the nice one.

Well let's begin with Yasser Arafat. Head of the PLO, Began leading it in 64'. Was trained by the KGB in the USSR. He went on to establish Fatah as a splinter group from the PLO. Fatah was extremist and called for the extermination of the state of israel "And in April 1969, for example, the Russian daily Sovetskaya Rosiya took Fatah to task for its goal of liquidating the state of Israel". An article in April 1969 the movement was criticized for not recognizing the possibility of other than armed action.

This thread 🧵 explores the nightmare of the Indian airforce with regards to force multipliers namely transport aircraft, AWACS and tankers and why an IDDM manufactured MMRA is the need of the hour. (1) First we get into our current squadrons. We have fourteen transport squadrons spread across light and heavy lift aircraft like C17s, C130s, An32s, Il76s,C295s, HS748s.
