Can India follow US & carry out commando strike in POK??

Kartikeya Semwal
5 May 2011: US that had been raging war against terrorism for the past few decades finally avenged the 26/11 terror stirks on World Trade Centre and Pentagon by eleminating the world's most wanted terrorist Osama Bin Laden. Special US troopes (US Marine Commandoes) carried out a secret strike on 2 May 2011 in Abatabad, Pakistan and eliminated Bin Laden in his own house that was jsut 22 kms from Pakistan's Army training centre. US Marine commandoes carried out a deadly strike with the help of stealth army choppers and killed the world's most wanted terrorist. Pakistani authorities couldn't even get a hint of the secret US strike till late. But can India too do the same by carrying out a similar strike in POK and destroy 60 terrorist traning camps that are being run from POK???
The answer to the question is that India should have done this within 48 hrs of the US strike that killed Bin Laden. But due to intgernational politics and internal polictics, it didn't do so. India does have the calibre to carry out a commando strike to destroy all terrorist training camps in POK but its political leadership does not have enough guts to do so. Indian Navy's marine commando force 'MARCOS' is well equipped to carry out such strike provided, its gets air cover and backup from Indian Airforce (IAF). Ex Indian army chief general VP Malik said that even army's paracommandoes could carry out a deadly strike and destroy terror camps being run from POK but they can't do it on their own unless politcial leadership doesn't wants it to do so.
The question now is to the Indian public and international society whether India too should follow suit and destroy terror camps in POK or should it stay calm and offer olive branch to Pakistan as it has done on past many occasions. Opinion of the international comunity is of great importance on this issue as not only India but the whole world is suffering from terrorism. The Indian leadership should strengthen its stance and decide to carry out a similar strike someday in near future and help provide peace to the world that is suffering from terrorism. Indian leadership should learn from US who had been tracking Osama Bin Laden for the past 10 years and got him killed in the end. Its hightime that India too avenged the terror strike that was carried out on Mumbai on September 9/11 that killed many innocent people and policemen.

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
