- This is superb ! Para drop over Ladakh by special forces today from a C 130 J. Part of Op Demo for the defence minister.
00:00 - This is what a serving officer told me today. Words that ring true - 'Don't be disheartened (pilot capture). These are things that happen and the risks are factored in. This is what we are trained for'
- The one person who got the S 400 purchase through for India is @manoharparrikar In this March 2016 story, we detailed his unprecedented, personally led rejig of India's air defence plans that saved India Rs 49300 crore. Yes, you read that number right.
- More details: No firing took place, so this means that our soldiers were beaten to death by the Chinese on Indian territory.Terrible news coming in from Galwan: Commanding Officer and two soldiers killed in a faceoff at Galwan valley last night with Chinese troops. Huge blow to all talks and spins of de escalation.
- This can now be said without doubt - The Pakistani military now has Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman under custody. He is a MiG 21 pilot. Hoping he remains safe.
- PM @narendramodi 's point on breaking the back of traditional Delhi's power brokers who bragged about tailoring policy for a price is perhaps the most difficult task the Govt managed to achieve. One by one, most have disappeared.
- Terrible news coming in from Eastern Ladakh. Official statement soon.
- India's first home built aircraft carrier completes its 4th phase of trials. Beautiful photos of MiG 29K on deck, ALH ops and CIWS in action. Vikrant is to be commissioned in August.
- My take: * Bold move, required political will * Technology to develop ASAT missile was available since 2012 but no sanction was given * Last test was by China, invited worldwide condemnationLow Orbit satellite shot down at a range of 300 km. Anti Satellite missile termed as 'Mission Shakti' by PM Modi.
- Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL) has handed over first lot of Infantry Protected Mobility Vehicles (IPMVs) to the Army Chief today. First private sector company to produce and deliver wheeled armoured combat vehicles. Co developed with DRDO.
