Indian Armed Forces at a glance

  If Russian action on Ukraine is wrong then wasn’t US-NATO                       action on Afghanistan, Iraq & Syria wrong?  By- Kartikeya Semwal  Russian invasion of Ukraine It has been a month since Russia started its invasion of Ukraine to ensure its own borders’ safety. Whatever Russia did was just to make sure that Ukraine doesn’t join NATO that would have brought NATO troops on Russia’s doorsteps. Many European countries think that Russian action is wrong but my question to all of them is- won’t they stop a rival country from joining a particular military group that would bring that group’s combined troops to their country’s border?      US army in Iraq The whole European Union & NATO member countries are acting like salves to their masters US & UK. One order by US and they all became ready to send high-tech anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons to aid Ukraine’s army. One order by the current US president and all of them readily banned Russian goods and canceled their

  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

By- Kartikeya Semwal Indian Army is known across the world for its preparations on the border for any kind of mischief by the enemy on either side of the border. Their hard training, readiness and determination to fight and win is the reason why countries like US, UK, France, and Germany send their troops to train with the Indian Army. Whether it is number of troops or weapons, the Indian Army always seems ready to deal with any kind of threat in any season.  Indian Army on eastern border. Ever since Galwan-clash and Pangong-Tso lake confrontations with China’s PLA troops, Indian Army has upped its deployment of man and machine across the eastern border. But ever since Taliban took over China started visiting forward posts of Pakistan & started providing heavy weapons to their army, Indian Army has been gearing up to deal with both our enemies.  Recently, China has decided to sell 236 SH-15 long-range howitzers to Pakistan so that they can be used against India. And in order to

  Is canceling Russian weapons deals right or not?                           Maybe not… By- Kartikeya Semwal  Mig-29UPG of IAF We all know that China has been a pain in the ass for the past 2 years. And in order to deal with them effectively, we need a lot of weapons, of different types and pretty soon. And like before, Russia has offered them of which deals for some of them had been signed. These weapons included medium multirole 220 Kamov choppers for army and airforce, 10 KA-31 choppers for navy, 800 Igla-S atgm system & 21 Mig-29 UPGs, The last one was worth Rs.7000 crore and was considered as pretty costly.  Ka-31 chopper All the above-mentioned deals have been cancelled in the name of reducing weapon dependence and import in favour of “Atmanirbhar Bharat” & “made in India” schemes. But I’m worried about the last one, i.e. of cancelling purchase of 21 Mig-29 UPGs. These were much needed as they would make 1 full squadron + 3 extra for training. Their price could have been
