In episode 618 of #CutTheClutter, ThePrint's Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta highlights military lessons from Armenia-Azerbaijan war, and their significance for India.
The use of firecrackers during Diwali did not likely start before the 18th century, when Maratha rulers would organise firework displays for the general public.
Consumers & companies have been saving cash, and even Modi govt has cut spending. Inflation has surged to 7.6%, so how long can RBI keep interest rates lower?
Petrol & diesel prices have barely changed since June 2022, even though oil prices have fallen 28% since then. This has boosted profitability of OMCs and dividend payouts to govt.
ThePrint had reported earlier this month that while theaterisation is the ultimate goal, set to be rolled out one year from now, the focus is on structured jointness initiatives by 2024-end.
Discussion about outcome of Lok Sabha polls continues to boil in cauldron of expectations only from BJP. Now reverse this equation, what if we asked about the performance of the 'loser'?
This means that nations and entities like Hezbollah that do not have the money for big defense budgets can fight with super powers. Combine these drones with relatively cheap ballistic missiles and you have a formidable military capability.
A prime example is the US vs Iran. Comparatively speaking Iran has no Air Force, navy or armor. But it’s ballistic missiles are superb. Their air defense may be formidable if they reverse engineered the S-300 and I am sure they are looking closely at the drones. 30 percent of their population is Azeri.
Meanwhile the US relies on aircraft and Patriot missiles to take out drones. Totally ineffective and very expensive. They had the Line Backer system which consisted of radar aimed guns. But it was moth balled.
I think the day of the under dog is here. The days of the bullies may be over.
Azerbaijan did not win. Russia came and stopped the fight. The PM of Armenia agreed to stop the fight since they were losing too many lives with the drones Azer was using. Anyway, Karabakh is back in Russia’s hands. 😉
If Pakistan can get nukes without money …then acquiring Turkish drones would not be difficult for Pakistan…………..Modi has stuck Indian military in unwinnable two front war !!1
Lol, another paki is having day dream…what makes you think if a bankrupt country like Pakistan can get drones but 5th largest economy in the world aka India can’t??
You, my friend, are a moron! Always learn from your enemy’s strengths and weaknesses. These less expensive suicide drones could be used by Pakistan to effectively deter our tactical advantage (especially with the s400’s coming in). There is currently no Air defence system/Jammers that could take this drone out!
You are right,
Unfortunately other nations did not come to the rescue of Armenia, eg, if India had supplied it’s medium range missiles to Armenia, the outcome of the war would have been different
I don’t know what a report is this ??? Nuclear triad country like India need to learn lesson from Azerb ..NDTV sponsored half knowledge reporter like him are really mess to India its my opinion and am ready to have conversation if this Skephar accepted
India should not only rely on drones as this is just catching up. We should give stress to innovation in military affairs. The army needs different kinds of machines and technology as well as drones. Future wars will be mostly fought by robots.
Editor’s opinion not fitted with India and other countries. Every countries and continental have specific and unique characteristics. So, whatever happened in given scenario never applied to others. Editor’s opinion is narrow in this context. So, it’s rejected.

Shekhar Gupta is anti hindu.
Azerbaijan won not because of drones, because they Took help from Israel and turkey . Also they used jihadies, afghan and Pakistan’s soldiers.

India should try to build indigenous drones or acquire from US. They are the future of warfare.
India should approach to matters without taking side. Azerbaijan deserved to win as international integrity must be respected sa per United Nations.
Happy day for The Print as Azerbezan Won
Azerbaijan won and they earned it big time.
