TBH proly have to check some reference related to cost of operating UCAV, we can't use it everywhere, many times terrorists are hiding in houses, calling drone strike even if we had the ability on our soil doesn't sound good, using them against terrorists crossing border maybe economically not that good idea.UCAV or UAV? The army does use UAV to monitor the areas but UCAV I don't know if we have any operational UCAVs let alone using it.
But there are plans for upgrading our current fleet of Heron drones as UCAV plus another deal of procurements of additional armed version of Heron.
LOOOL what a seething mutt, what a petty little person....their mutt army despite having access to world's probably best MIC got BTFOd by farmers in Vietnam, foot soldiers in ME, Afghanistan....whiny losers.Intolerable hatred
On December 14, General A.A.K. Niazi, Pakistan's military commander in East Pakistan, told the American consul-general in Dhaka that he was willing to surrender. The message was relayed to Washington, but it took the US 19 hours to relay it to New Delhi. Files suggest senior Indian diplomats suspected the delay was because Washington was possibly contemplating military action against India.
Kissinger went so far as to call the crisis “our Rhineland” a reference to Hitler’s militarisation of German Rhineland at the outset of World War II. This kind of powerful imagery indicates how strongly Kissinger and Nixon came to see Indians as a threat.
An Indiana University study of the conflict says: “The violation of human rights on a massive scale—described in a March 30 US cable as “selective genocide”—and the complete disregard for democracy were irrelevant to Nixon and Kissinger. In fact, the non-democratic aspects of Pakistani dictator Yahya Khan’s behaviour seemed to be what impressed them the most. As evidence mounted of military atrocities in East Pakistan, Nixon and Kissinger remained unmoved. In a Senior Review Group meeting, Kissinger commented at news of significant casualties at a university that, ‘The British didn’t dominate 400 million Indians all those years by being gentle’.”
Nixon and Kissinger phoned Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev and asked for guarantees that India would not attack West Pakistan. “Nixon was ready to link the future summit in Moscow to Soviet behaviour on this issue," writes professor Vladislav M. Zubok in A Failed Empire. "The Soviets could not see why the White House supported Pakistan, who they believed had started the war against India. Brezhnev, puzzled at first, was soon enraged. In his narrow circle, he even suggested giving India the secret of the atomic bomb. His advisers did their best to kill this idea. Several years later, Brezhnev still reacted angrily and spoke spitefully about American behaviour."
Cold Warriors
Another telephone conversationbetween the scheming duo reveals a lot about the mindset of those at the highest echelons of American decision making:
Kissinger: And the point you made yesterday, we have to continue to squeeze the Indians even when this thing is settled.
Nixon: We've got to for rehabilitation. I mean, Jesus Christ, they've bombed—I want all the war damage; I want to help Pakistan on the war damage in Karachi and other areas, see?
Kissinger: Yeah
Nixon: I don't want the Indians to be happy. I want a public relations programme developed to piss on the Indians.
Kissinger: Yeah.
Nixon: I want to piss on them for their responsibility. Get a white paper out. Put down, White paper. White paper. Understand that?
Kissinger: Oh, yeah.
Nixon: I don't mean for just your reading. But a white paper on this.
Kissinger: No, no. I know.
Nixon: I want the Indians blamed for this, you know what I mean? We can't let these goddamn, sanctimonious Indians get away with this. They've pissed on us on Vietnam for 5 years, Henry.
Kissinger: Yeah.
Nixon: Aren't the Indians killing a lot of these people?
Kissinger: Well, we don't know the facts yet. But I'm sure they're not as stupid as the West Pakistanis—they don't let the press in. The idiot Paks have the press all over their place.

Good good, USA is yet to pay for all of their sins.Daily reminder (((Nixon & Kissinger))) were also the ones who started American prostitution to the PRC, and making the modern outsource-manufacturing-to-China-paradigm standard.
The 1%ers and globalist politicians like Nixon-Kissinger will not pay for all this.Good good, USA is yet to pay for all of their sins.
Them US is trying to see what India will compromise under the new administration.Kissinger tells Biden to go easy on China
Henry Kissinger may again play a pivotal role in US-China relations, advising Joe Biden and Xi Jinping.thehill.com

49 years on, Bangladesh PM recalls how an Indian Army officer rescued her from Pakistani soldiers
“My mother, my sisters and my brothers were all incarcerated. Col Ashok Tara, who was then a major in the Indian Army, rescued us from the Pakistan Army’s custody in the morning of December 17, 1971,” Hasina said during a virtual summit with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “Today, the December 17, is a very special day for us. The rest of Bangladesh were freed (from Pakistan Army) on December 16, 1971, but our family was rescued a day later,” she said, paying tribute to the Indian Army soldiers, who had laid down lives in the 1971 war. “India is our true friend. I pay my gratitude to the government and people of India for extending wholehearted support to our struggle for liberation of Bangladesh”.

There must be..I hope India has a after-Hasina contingent plan.
Bring your kids to India sometimes yoI would agree with you the big difference is in where the 2nd generation kids were raised . I was from
a small town in the Northeast near the canadian border and families tend to be closer in smaller towns??
Just my opinion but kids in bigger cities have lot more outside influences. Where I was from we only had 5 Indian families within a 300 mile radius and many of my Father's friends were in Canada and all our Indian
grocery shopping was in Canada this was in late 60's early 70's. I work to keep a connection to my roots
and my military background and interest in warfare has me devoting so much time to the site. My grown kids raised in cities and their friends connections are not so strong. IMO opinion Indian government
needs to reach out to the diaspora in another generation the diaspora will have no interest in their
ancestral ties.
