I am quite convinced from this article Sawhney doesn't know what he is talking about and also doesn't have a sense of proportion. He is talking of disrupting communications of the PMO. It will be a HUGE escalation in itself and can only be done in very few ways without actually hitting PMO/C&C centres in Delhi with missiles 1. ASAT missiles, a capability which we also possess and would create a huge international backlash as it will take down 100s of other satellites 2. Direct Energy Weapons something, the development of which is in a very nascent stage even in the US. I remember he once claimed India doesn't need holding corps in a war with China. Defies basic military logic.
Just namedropping buzzwords like Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning mean shit. In my previous roles in my job used to work directly on AI, ML with a FAANG company. I really want to know what all China is going to use AI for? And if they have developed weapons exploiting AI, ML where did they get the training data from? AI and ML don't come out of thin air. Also in case you folks didn't know most of the Chinese research papers on AI and ML are heavily plagiarised, speaking from personal experience and also of my peers! Indian research work in AI and ML is far superior. We need to utilise them for our defence and unlike Chicoms, we have better access to training data too!
P.S.- Why do you even buy this shit magazine and make him rich?
