Guys additions?
He also declared a few years back that when it comes to China, Russia will not choose us as per his intel.As much as a wish for it to happen, I would take his predictions with a pinch of salt. Forget international affairs, his prediction for New Delhi polls was that BJP would sweep with a 41+ seat win. We all know how that ended : /
In order to increase the squadrons we need to increase the order of Mark 1 A to more than 83 if we go according to HAL claim oc producing 24 LCA per year and delivering first aircraft according to HAL within two years instead of three then we could have 120 LCA Marl 1 A by 2026 the current LCA order cost total 35,000 crores with each aircraft costing 300 crores plus other costs so we could get a 120 Mark 1 A for maybe around 50,000 crores we should buy more mig 29 I have readied somewhere that actually more than 45 unused airframes are lying even in the numbers of aircraft's 100 in warehouses which were never flown we should try to get our hands on those to increase our strength plus purchase 2000s from UAE and QAF that could increase our number of 12 QAEs and some odd unknown numbers of UAE 2000s so imagine 110 mig 29s and 160 LCA tejas with 52 plus some 2000s plus 140 jaguars 300 plus MKIs 36 raffles would give you a strength of around 800 aircrafts we if literally there are more than 100 unused or seldomoly inused airframes of mig 29s that would give us a strength of around 165 or moreSome experts have said that the IAF needs 60 sqns to fight a two front war. That is double of what we have today. No way can we attain/afford that unless and until we go the whole hog on indigenous weapon systems. We need to bet big on the LCA MK2, ORCA, AMCA while buying 2-4 sqns of cutting edge aircraft from abroad. IMHO the MMRCA 2.0 is not of much use. The way our procurement works, the aircraft will only start arriving close to 2030 and will already be outdated. Buy more LCA MK 1a's and ask the US for about 2-3 sqns of F-35s off the shelf. Lets see if the US is willing to walk the talk.
Especially the army always give step motherly treatment to indigenous systems ie kalyani Marg,atags,dhanush,tar,nag atgm and many moreThe fact that we have to rush to other countries to get emergency fighters, missiles etc leaves a bad taste.
It shows how complacent everyone has been in terms to defense desalinization.
Last few years have been OK/good, nothing spectacular though.
We need policy as well as attitude change to defense manufacturing in India,
High time we give free reign to private companies and let defense PSU's compete for contracts..
After the URI attack by pakistani terrorists Bhadrakumar wrote an article where he essentially said. India has no choice but to sit on the table with pakistan and have talks. presumably brokered by USA.
We all know how he was surgically made silent on 29th September 2016.
This man used to be an ambassador and also had been in Afghanistan.He had also met Masood who was pro-India from the Northern alliance. Imagine the level of the Rot.
When Shekhar Gupta says, "Stop being scared of 1962". he thinks Whole of India is scared of china. That is not true. Only Lutyens Delhi is scared of china.
Rest of India is like that Soldier "Golgappe khaayega" ?
China has misunderstood India completely. They purchased assets like media and Delhi crowd. But, Modi changed everything. After, Jaitly not being around, The delhi power is nearly gone.
Indians gets united if you attack their pride. Very visible right now. Congress has dug a grave for itself. It is like Communist party now. Pro-china. Pro-Tukde Tukde. The only asset china has is Subbu swamy inside the BJP and he is at the peripheries of Peripheries. He cant even attack jaitly now. That man has left us. Swamy is useless..
I think swamy made that comment on 1962, since, Russians fingered him not so politely as a Chinese spokesperson. After all, Swamy is best friends with NRam, editor of Hindu.
Need I say more..
The 1962 war is not the military disaster as it has been portrayed. No doubt we lost but a lot of people look at the map and say oh we lost so much land in that war. The Chinese had already occupied a vast majority of the Aksai Chin territory before 1962. Nehru wanted to enforce Indian claim over that territory and went in totally unprepared. I am not saying we should give up claim to Aksai Chin because I am not and am only mentioning it in the context of 1962. Even the British wanted to hand over a large part of Aksai Chin to the Chinese so that they could have borders that could be marked and defended but they changed their mind later. In 1962 the Chinese grabbed some additional land but also withdrew as they knew they could not maintain their logistic lines in case of an Indian counter attack. India made the mistake of agreeing to a ceasefire when infact the Indian army should have been given the chance to counter attack . They just overwhelmed the Indian army with sheer numbers. Remember our men fought to the last bullet and sometimes to the last man.I am saying this so many here may not like me.
But the thing is I have high doubts regarding the 62 war. I am very much doubtful about whether our IA actually did loose it or not, and also it can be the case that our own leaders fabricated the defeat or make sure that our IA did loose the war.
A secret treaty between Mao and Congress may had happened.
Because back then media was not like today. And people believed only on black and white, there was no area for grey.
So much for deescalation. Looks like the news about Depsang the other day was true. India needs a division and an armoured brigade there.
Something happened at Depsang too
It's strange why we are stopping at Galwan. We should stress on the Chinese to get the hell out of Aksai Chin and the Shaksgam Valley too which we are not doing.Yeah that's why I think he should come again on TV & say Galwan valley was, is & always will be ours including Aksai Chin. Only that will stop CCP's propaganda & this clown Pappy's circus.

This is what China wants , that we keep running around and keep following theirSo much for deescalation. Looks like the news about Depsang the other day was true. India needs a division and an armoured brigade there.
ajay sukha shoots in dark and hopes something sticks. i wont pay much attention to what he saysSo much for deescalation. Looks like the news about Depsang the other day was true. India needs a division and an armoured brigade there.
I am sure we will be pushing rooky pilots even on Su30s if we get a war.And how will we give enough of our pilots adequate training in this timeframe?
Are you serious? Do you really believe this ass called Ajai Shukla? He's the biggest clown and faker this side of the Suez. Please don't quote him and his other faker friend Pannag. One is a Congi Chamcha the other is AAP. So now you know where they come from, spreading false info.So much for deescalation. Looks like the news about Depsang the other day was true. India needs a division and an armoured brigade there.
I predicted both general election and delhi election correctly on my twitter account.As much as a wish for it to happen, I would take his predictions with a pinch of salt. Forget international affairs, his prediction for recent New Delhi election was that BJP would sweep with a 41+ seat win. We all know how that ended : /
Whatever one may think about shukla is irrelevant. He has generally been right about the intrusions so far. Leaving aside his sensational 10000 chinese in Indian territory claim, though technically he is right as entire Aksai Chin is Indian territory. But thats splitting hairs. But the situation does seem very serious. As far as strategic and tactical concerns go the Depsang area is of more concern than the fingers area in Pangong Tso. The Chinese cant really roll down a couple of divisions in the finger area. In Depsang they can cut off access to the Karakoram pass and Siachen would be threatened. I think thats been their plan all along to link up with the Paki's in the north and protect their CPEC. Dont lets just dismiss the report out of hand. Something is definately happening up north.ajay sukha shoots in dark and hopes something sticks. i wont pay much attention to what he says
