The ministry will have little defence for the fiasco that the show is heading towards, with exaggerated numbers and important tenders set in the midst of it.
ऑफसेट इंडिया सॉल्यूशंस को मई में कारण बताओ नोटिस जारी करने के बाद अब 6 महीने का बैन झेलना होगा. कंपनी की जांच सीबीआई पिलैटस एयरक्राफ्ट समझौते में कर रही है.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
The Chinese are said to have hired ex-fighter pilots & air force operators from NATO countries over the past several years to help them fine-tune their operational & flying capabilities.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
Its a circus. We have had 3 different defense ministers in the past 4 years, and DefExpo has been held wherever the incumbent fancies it be held (i e in his / her home state – it would seem that these worthies cannot rise above their narrow parochial affiliations). The state of the DefExpo mirrors the state of the Ministry of Defense and that of our national defense itself i.e. a rudderless tamasha (spectacle). On the one hand we have been pursuing a high profile, increasingly strident foreign policy, even as geopolitical alliances shift – such as the emerging compact between Russia, China and Pakistan; even as the security situation in our neighborhood becomes more fluid, what with Doklam, Maldives and the continuing unrest in Kashmir; but on the other hand we show criminal neglect of our defense preparedness. Force levels continue to deplete (E.g. the IAF squadron strength). Procurement is worse than a bad joke (witness the 3 successive initiatives that were launched and have failed in the realm of combat aircraft alone i.e. the FGFA, MMRCA, single-engine fighter procurement).
We are good at organising Tamashas!Wonder what will happen if some future RM hails from Arunachal!!
