The US way of showing power

In its biggest show of millitary power, the Obama administration has decided to deploy its special troops in 75 countries across the world. They say that the deployment is to fight against and destroy the Al Qaeda network and its operatives across all 75 countries that include Yemen, Egypt, Libiya, Sudan, Algeria, Malaysia, Phillipines, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia. Law enforcement agencies acros the world have discovered and busted some sleeping and/or semi active modules of Al Qaeda in USA, UK, Italy, France, Germany, Turkey, Spain, Mexico, Albania, Uganda, Rawanda and other African nations.

But is the US millitary special force deployment only for fighting and destroying these Al Qaeda modules and eliminating its operatives or does it mean something else? Why should people not believe that US thrugh its deployment of special forces is not trying to show its millitary might and its preparation to fight against multiple nations in case of war? We all know that US has been dictating terms to the world on the basis of its sophisticated and modern millitary. US has been the only country that has carried out war games and war preparation exercises with many countries including India across the world. And US has been the 1st country that has been openly fighting war against terrorism besides countries like India, Russia, Afghanistan, Turkey, etc.
But terrorism is not the only reason of US deploying its special forces across 75 countries. Everyone knows that North Korea, Iran and China have been giving sleepless nights to the US administration that seems unable to take any millitary action against these countries. So special force deployment to fight against Al Qaeda operatives might be a pretext of US to show its millitary might and war prepardness to those countries which it considers its rivals. My personal opinion is that its "the US way of showing power" and what better way then special forces deployment in 75 countries at one go?

Indian Navy needs a variety & quantity upgrade in submarines

Image
By: Kartikeya Semwal Conventional submarine  Indian Navy is the world’s 7 th largest navy in the world with 294 warships. While our biggest enemy China is ranked 2 nd largest with 730 warships of different types. This is a cause of concern as we aren’t even half of our enemy. In the last 1 decade, under Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji & Raksha mantri Shri Rajnath Singh ji, our navy has added many warships to its fleet, yet a lot more needs to be done. China has a large number of different types of submarines ranging from conventional to nuclear. The advantage that they have is that they are building their own submarines & that too, at a fast pace. Contrast to that India doesn’t makes its own conventional submarines. And there is a huge gap in this category. China has 48 conventional submarines which means that it can deploy as many of them to watch or surround Indian Ocean region (IOR) while India has only 16 conventional submarines. Those too are the old Russian Kilo cl

Those 21 Mig-29s were needed

  Those 21 Mig-29s were needed  By- Kartikeya Semwal  IAF had signed a deal with the Russian Mig Consortium to purchase 21 Mig-29s to strengthen its air-defense capabilities and increase its number of fighter squadrons. But now that deal has been canceled keeping India’s MWF/Tejas Mk-2 in mind. But one thing that IAF failed to notice is that the 1 st MWF won’t be inducted before 2026, which is far away for now and the 1 st flying squadron of MWF/Tejas Mk-2 won’t appear before 2028-2029 which is way too long keeping IAF’s requirement and Chinese threat in mind.  Mig-29 UPG of IAF Some of the defense experts and analysts have expressed concern with inducting more Russian jets as they can be hacked into and crashed by China’s cyber force. But India has the ability to counter it by installing their own system computers and indigenous radar and EWS (electronic warfare system) on those Mig-29s. Those were also meant to be upgraded in terms of hardware and software. According to me, IAF has
