Ya'll Nibbiars no Everyone is a Gangster Until the real ones arrives. If We should have a Yudh Mantri we should have someone like him.

Vk Singh is also a good choice.

hmmmmmmmmmmmm, 1st signs of admission

OT but funny

 

[tarunraju]

Kadi ninda should be sacked instead some more powerful leader should be made defence minister.

Or VK Singh. He's been in the cabinet for 6 years now, and was a 4-star Gen.

If MOD babus stop "coup" fear mongering, VKS will make a decent wartime RM. Naravane will have two 4-star officers 'above' him (4-star RM, and a 4-star CDS advising the RM). Kinda makes CDS redundant, but imagine the sheer amount of military brains in South Block. MOD IAS babus will have to start wearing adult diapers to work.

Dude the indigenous AESA radar mounted on Airbus will also get clearance as per article that's a good news. Though i really wished we take over Embraer and instead of C295 and Airbus use their jets for military and civilian use. Looks like the opportunity is lost as their is no interest from Indian side apart from some HAL employees.

Anyway 5 Phalcon plus 3 Netras on Embraer and 6 Airbus mounted Radar that's 14 a good number but we should opt for couple more phalcons as Indian ones will take a lot of sweet time.

Our own AWACS dish is almost done. Go read some PSU news on the PSU thread.

With due respect I'll prefer Gen VK singh anyday over him. You need a RM to be smart and cool headed but who knows when to give it back.

After Late Sushma Swaraj ji many wondered who will replace her legacy but this guy is on another level. He is smart and knows what to say when to say and how to say it.

ministers, diplomats & Generals have specific roles to fill.
All of them have been trained all their lives to fill that role....

As tempting as it would be, I would be careful in making an EX General as RM.
The role, temperament required and language that needs to be used is vastly different.

Short of a nuke attack , or an alien invasion , a coup in India will be impossible .

Dragon Breathing Down India’s ‘Chicken’s Neck’: Why This Chinese Project In North Bangladesh Is A Grave Security Threat

China is investing in a massive project in northern Bangladesh, very close to India’s vulnerable Siliguri Corridor.China’s presence here can develop into a major security threat for India in the long run.

swarajyamag.com

China is investing in a massive project in northern Bangladesh, very close to India’s vulnerable Siliguri Corridor.

And it has now succeeded under the garb of financing the $983 million ‘Teesta River Comprehensive Management and Restoration Project’ in Northern Bangladesh.

The mega project involves dredging the Teesta river (which originates in Sikkim and flows through North Bengal into Bangladesh) to increase its depth, building embankments to restrict the width of the river to one kilometer and reclaiming land from its floodplains.

The Teesta, after entering Bangladesh, flows almost parallel to the Indo-Bangla border and, as such, all these facilities will be within a distance of 10 kilometers to 30 kilometers from the international border.

These townships are often security posts with sophisticated surveillance equipment protected by well-armed Chinese soldiers in the garb of private security guards.

The townships, factories and other facilities that China is planning to build and run on the northern banks of the Teesta will double up as quasi-military posts and surveillance stations to keep watch on the Siliguri corridor.

The Siliguri corridor and adjoining areas house a number of Indian army and air force stations — the headquarters of the Indian Army’s 33 Corps at Sukhna near Siliguri and the various formations under it all over North Bengal, as well as IAF bases at Bagdogra and Hasimara

The realization that talks won't be working with china is finally seeping in it seems.

Now the real question is will we back it up by actions or just keep giving statements.

 

[vampyrbladez]

Buy time till we get ready is the GoI's strategy for now.

With US deployment in Pacific and Indian Ocean including B2 bombers at Diego Garcia, everyone knows China will get fucked badly.

Problem is what is the threshold and what is the resultant cost.
