Between raising it Parliament and lobbying with the CM, retired Army officers and politicians across party lines are doing all they can to stop the move.
China began to show interest in aerostats in the 1990s, but it was only in 2010-11 that it received three large-sized tethered aerostat systems from a Russian company.
From Sam Pitroda talking about inheritance tax to Goan candidate saying the Indian Constitution was 'forced' on Goa, Congress has been having its own foot-in-the-mouth moments.
RBI Wednesday banned Kotak Mahindra Bank from taking on new customers through digital channels & from issuing new credit cards. Violations had to do with strength of bank’s IT infra.
Another addition to military cooperation has been the Strategic Space Dialogue, inaugurated in Paris in 2023. Last month, India participated as an observer to France’s AsterX.
I hope IAF is reviewing the whole February 20 operation including the decisions of the operations director of the IAF and the AoC in C and not just Me17 shooting. even if it’s done away from public eye, IAF didn’t prepare well for Pakistani retaliation. Performance of Wing Commander Abhinandan and other officers in that combat saved the day for IAF commanders otherwise they would be in a big trouble today.
Because the mishap happened during the SAME SHORT 10 MINUTE period when the dogfights were on involving Pakistani and Indian fighter jets, perhaps a less strict view of the offence can be taken. Our media has rightly played it down, but it was a huge attack by Pakistan, when they had simultaneously pressed in as many as TWENTY FIVE fighter jets in that short time window.
What is likely not being told us, and this is just my guess, is that someone was DELIBERATE in shooting down the helicopter. In that case a court martial would surely be warranted. Otherwise, if it was a GENUINE mistake in identifying if the helicopter was ours or enemy’s, then the ground officer who ordered the shooting could always say that he was trying to limit the damage – – a helicopter could have five ten or fifteen people on board, but if it was carrying a lethal load of heavy bombs then it could kill may be a hundred innocent people on ground if it was allowed to proceed unmarked. These are only guesses, only the IAF investigators know the true story.

How absurd to refer to killing one’s own as “friendly fire”! It should be called a huge goof up. And why was this information suppressed during the elections?
Surely Modi or whoever in power will do that during the elections. The patriotism against the enemy must shine, later after election the fuck-upness will be dealth with
After watching Cut the Clutter last night. The military has its own ethos, culture, systems of accountability. Men of honour.
