SEBI probe concluded that purported loans and fund transfers were paid back in full and did not amount to deceptive market practices or unreported related party transactions.
The 2018 contract with Russia for 5 S-400 systems had a follow-on clause for 5 more. S-400 was described as a 'game-changer' for shooting down 5 Pakistan fighter jets during Op Sindoor.
What Munir has achieved with Trump is a return to normal, ironing out the post-Abbottabad crease. The White House picture gives us insight into how Pakistan survives, occasionally thrives and thinks.
Balakot shows that India should change its policies, which are based on immaturity. Both India and Pakistan are nuclear states so war is not an option between both the states. Any technological advancement requires big amount of money and such amount can be used for the betterment of Indian population rather than wasting it on defense equipment. Because, India’s dream to win war against Pakistan cannot be fulfilled in recent skirmishes between India and Pakistan it has been clearly shown that Pakistan is more skillful than India.
It won’t be easy for India to bring such a disparity in military equilibrium. First Pakistan is well aware of India’s military advancements. Second, Pakistan’s military developments are only India centric therefore, Pakistan is in position to maintain strategic balance. India has long been trying to create room for conventional . For that India has introduced various doctrinal steps to facilitate such a scenario but every time India met with cold feet as Pakistan has reduced every aspect for such an adventure.
This all the Balakot episode and the pulwama attack was just used to garner support and vote for the current elections that are being held in India. Modi government is interested in ratcheting up tension with Pakistan to solidify Hindu votes in the upcoming national election. Thus, the situation is alarming and demands a rational response from India and Pakistan’s ruling elites for avoiding a devastating war.
Military personals are poor in thinking anything else other than pure mil strategy. Gen is no exception. Don’t ever think economics as weakness of Pakistan when it comes to any form of “sovereignty”. No matter how high-tech / long range weapons you buy, India will remain neighbour, ie within shortest possible range weapon. Watchout please??
Interesting obsevation. The only thing being the current govt saw such an eventuality and that is the reason why it ordered Rafales and S400 before Pulwama and Balakot happened. It is just that such high tech stuff cant be bought of the shelf overnight. They take time to come and get integrated into the defence apparatus.
If today Pakistan gives an impression of parity with India, then it is we who are to be blamed, for having voted out Vajpayee in 2004.
Sir
No country has ever risen to be great power on strength of imported arms that have built in expiry date.
India is far behind some third world countries in technology development. It doesn’t have capacity to manufacture world class infantry rifle on its own.
In rapidly changing world of manufacture,only those countries that have education base will forge ahead. India is abysmal in this regard
Most western countries collaborate with one another on defence equipment. Look at state of the art F 35s. User countries including the US are equipping them with European weapon systems such as Meteor Missiles.
The problem with us is we want to either make a system entirely ourselves or on not being able to do so, end up importing the same. That is why we routinely criticise Tejas for not being entirely indigenous, but fail to recognise that even if half of it is indigenous, it is a good beginning none the less. Even the Swedish Gripen, its closest competitor isnt really an entirely Swedish product after all.
Would you have courage to criticise the drama done by Rahul Gandhi over Rafale deal which provides India a technical superiority over Pakistan? At least you should laud Modi’s effort in this direction for speeding up the effort to acquire Rafale and S-400 missiles. This is the reason that even Pakistanis are wishing the Rahul Gandhi to become PM because they know that Congress and its alliances would never let Indian forces acquire technical superiority over Pakistan.
the general has very simplistic assumption about pakistan.
” the international media reported that multiple terrorist targets had been hit by armed drones in Pakistan which claimed”
why would the international media report multiple terrorist targets being hit. It didn’t happen this time around.
“Once India’s superiority is evident, simple economics will compel Pakistan to adopt the easier option: stop its interference in the internal affairs of India.”
Again, a very primitive understanding of how Pakistanis think and sadly, of economics.
No need to wake our indian brothers from slumber. They have been dreaming these kind of fanciful outcomes for the last 50 years, let them enjoy!
Mr. Moazzam, your Finance Minister has just resigned. He had gone to IMF with a begging bowl and was not successful and yet Pakistan wants to compete with India. Pakistan is still on the gray list of FATF and will continue to languish there, unless it stops sponsoring terrorism. It is not India, but Pakistan that is in slumber. India can exist without having any thoughts about Pakistan, but can Pakistan exist without India? The very identity of Pakistan depends on India and hence the persistent enmity, terrorism and the hidden envy and awe. and need for persons like you to contribute unwarranted comments on Indian websites. Who bothers in India about what your think? So far as this article is concerned, it is very thought provoking. It means that we should have a technology that is not borrowed or imported and which no other country in the world has. This can only be done by focusing on indigenous R&D in the defence sector. India has to move to the next orbit, so far as defence production is concerned.

Modi’s misadventure backfired. Now Indian military has low moral and embarrassed by tiny nation.
