What air chief thought in 2010 abt use of airforce against naxal . It was after dantewada attack where 76 crpf died . Today there is same logic .


His logic

1 . Maoist are indian citizen
2 . We cnt determine whether target is hostile frm 1500 to 1800 mts
3 . Our weapons are lethal . Its for enemy outside .

This is the same logic if someone wonder why we r not attacking their camps , lines , weapon factory frm air and instead pattroling troops on ground .

On a sider note, if anyone has assumed that I peddled propaganda or what not, I'd like to make it clear, I've no such intentions of peddling propaganda or doing anything which might appear anti-national in nature, I've been loyal to my country and law, and I shall remain so. If anything appeared to be otherwise, I apologise. To minimise the further "misunderstandings" I'll try remain inactive. Peace.

We don't need fighter or ground attack planes dropping heavy ordinance on them, we need a couple of helicopters with a couple of gunners with 30 or 50 cal machine guns.

That won't be enough , thermobaric bombs are meant to burn.
Must use them.
That would raise too many eyebrows, firstly most people don't know the difference between thermobaric and HE ordinance and for them it will be that the Indian government bombed it's own poor people, tribal people and secondly, in the process burned half of the forest down for their businessmen friends so that they can do mining, etc...

It would be best to do something like this:

Upon browsing little bit i came to conclusion Even for helicopter gunship nation is discussing it for last 10 yrs after dantewada ... Argument is it is unnecessasy escalation ! Air force does nt want to get involved If they down one helicopter then fighter jets ll be demanded and so on .. If adivasi dies it ll be a good optics fir maoists . Etc
Was surprised to find a 2010 article stating govt desire to to use UAV against naxals ....

So whtev we r discussing here is nothing new 😂😂 ....

* Govt strategy is slow poisoning of the naxalite ecosystem by poverty elemination programmes , infra and light offence to keep their power in check ... It does nt want a all out war . And i think there is different standards for NE rebels , kasmir and Central india .. probably because its not border region and there are some sympathy in the system ..

I am pretty sure this gen when serving in the army might have leaked soo much of information about our armed forces to our enemy countries..
Military Ethics and Ideological leanings are two different things
