The Indian Air Force targeted terrorist training camps at three locations inside Pakistan early Tuesday, less than a fortnight after the Pulwama attack.
Pakistan foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Monday reiterated PM Imran Khan’s offer to help probe the Pulwama attack and said the country won’t allow its soil to be used against any country.
Looking to beat its rival to the new IAF contract for 114 fighter jets, Boeing takes to Twitter to highlight 'concerns' against Lockheed Martin's F-21.
Even as political slug-fest continues over the deal, IAF is throwing its weight behind Rafale, the first of which is to be delivered in September 2019.
For decades, India’s defence industry has churned out ‘indigenous’ hardware. Much of it is mere assembly of imported kits or licensed production, masking a deep import dependence.
Clean energy is “no longer the sideshow, it is the show”, BVR Subrahmanyam told the Odisha summit, warning India to lead the global shift or risk others’ tech dominance.
Dubai airshow crash & pilot death have rekindled concerns over pilot safety, and need for smarter automated systems that can step in when G-forces, temporary loss of consciousness hit the pilot.
None of Pakistan’s PMs has lasted 5 years. That the current PM has given Asim Munir 5 years shows that of all military dictatorships history has seen, Pakistan’s is most creative.
This needed to be done. 400 plump partridges in one nest was a bonus. Whatever Pakistan’s utility – transient for some, more enduring for others – no responsible state can support it openly in a global forum. The Chinese are probably expending too much diplomatic capital on Masood Azhar. Their reaction to the strikes has been mild. 2. Late for this term, but one way to deal with Pakistan’s sponsorship of terror in Valley is to start a serious dialogue with the Kashmiri people.
In my view, the air attacks put Pakistan in a dilemma. If Pakistan responds, it can develop into a war Pakistan can not afford. The moral hazard of such a misadventure would be solely on Pakistan. Considering an extremely strained and precarious economic scenario for Pakistan , this can be a sure recipe for bankruptcy. Pakistan can become another Venezuela. However, if Pakistan doesn’t respond, this can be construed as a tacit consent to India’s right to self-defence against terrorist groups located in Pakistan. India can very well use this as a precedent for future attacks. Obviously, this may not end Pak-sponsored terrorism. However, Pakistan will have to observe restraint so that it doesn’t cross red-lines. This certainly has mitigating effect. Well done IAF and well done Modi !
