In episode 564 of #CutTheClutter, Shekhar Gupta talks about importance of Rafale in IAF, recalls 2019 Balakot strike & explains why what happened with Oxford vaccine trial is not unusual.
Rafale jets were inducted into IAF at a ceremony in Ambala amid LAC tensions. Since arrival in July, the fighters have flown in Leh and completed bombing practice.
China knows PLAAF doesn’t match IAF, and is strengthening its air defence along LAC. The government’s stance must stay focussed on punishment, not denial.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.

Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
Why this guy so oblivious about border guarding forces like BSF , ITBP , SSB and Coast Guard.
This is the problem with many Armed forces ex officer who claim to gentleman but fail to give due credit to sister organization. Sad but true .
First of all he is not a guy. He is a distinguished Air Vice Marshal (retd) in the Air Force. And nobody is demeaning the CAPF and their role in maintaining a peaceful and tranquil country. I would reiterate CAPF here as the sister forces for the air force are the army and the navy and not BSF, CISF. Sorry but its a fact. Has he anywhere mentioned that the CAPF are inferior or not doing their job or anything like that? If not then i should request you to take it as an article which simply speaks about the army and primarily the air force (as he is an air force officer). How many articles from top CAPF generals actually glorify or speak about the armed forces?? I guess none. So this is not a big deal, people from respective forces do tend to speak about their own forces which is but natural
“peacetime” is the catch phrase. When there’s no danger to die, the acrobatics can take the impressive expanse of a vast skating ring in its stride.
I am not being cynical or anti-national, I’m only being realistic. I have seen a verbal response of our IAF chief to a question about China.
And who exactly has said that there is ‘no danger to die’ during peacetime?
