Joint Doctrine for Special Forces Operations, released Wednesday, also outlines plans for the future expansion of AFSOD and the creation of Joint Service Training Institutes.
The system will enhance India's strategic defence, PM expects it to be rolled out by 2035, the CDS said at Ran Samvad in Mhow. ThePrint was the first to report what the project will entail.
India’s 1st tri-service seminar, on the lines of Shangri-La Dialogue, kicks off in Mhow, with top military officers & defence attaches from several countries in attendance.

The fact that the Narendra Modi government waited nine months to appoint Gen Anil Chauhan as the second CDS shows that it has complete faith and trust in him.
This is the game every nation is now learning to play. Some are finding new allies or seeing value among nations where they’d seen marginal interest. The starkest example is India & Europe.
India should look for such quick sale opportunities elsewhere for defence equipment and establish the footprint before getting caught up in building strategic allies.
Lets get some hard cash for building in country capabilities
Just because Armenia did not further orders, the author assumes that it may buy weapons from USA, France, Greece and even Turkey. Turkey? What an absurd assumption! There is no report that India is not maintaining good relations with Armenia and Greece. The author has written some good articles in the past. But I doubt her mindset, her geopolitical approach as in many articles she sees bad omen for India.
This is perhaps the most brilliant, incisive and super spot-on analysis I’ve read in a long time. A region which is largely neglected in the Indian narrative but one that holds immense geostrategic potential, so lucidly explained with all the prop roots covered. Full marks to Dr. Rao and to The Print.

AND THANKS FOR ALL THE GOOD WORK YOU ARE DOING IN INDIAS ACADEMIC GEO POLITICAL DISCUSSIONS .
