Defence minister with vision needed The recent bizarre defence of the MoD against denial of Non-Functional Upgradation to the armed forces on the pretext of palatial houses, army schools and other facilities including Military Service Pay has enhanced the divide between the MoD and the armed forces expected to operate under them. Harsha Kakar | New Delhi | March 26, 2019 12:10 am      Ministry of Defence, Government of India. (Image: Facebook/@DefenceMinIndia) In his eulogy to Manohar Parrikar, Nitin Gokhale writes of a conversation with him soon after he took over as the defence minister. Parrikar stated, “In these two-three months that I have been here (MoD), the most striking aspect I noticed is the all-pervasive atmosphere of suspicion. Everyone is looking over his or her own shoulder. There is very little coordination; the overwhelming tendency is to first say ‘no’ to everything.” It was this that he had tried to overcome. These words are the ...

I qbal Chand Malhotra Iqbal Chand Malhotra is an award-winning TV producer There is more to Balakot than the numbers THE BJP PRESIDENT Amit Shah may not have been far-off the mark when he claimed that 250 terrorists were killed during the Indian Air Force’s air strike on Balakot at around 3:30 am local time on February 26th, 2019. However, Shah would never be able to provide the evidence to back his claim. Revealing the evidence would violate the charter of ‘The MOU on Geosynchronous Earth Orbit and Low Earth Orbit Optical Link’ signed between Prime Ministers Modi and Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel on July 5th, 2017 in New Delhi. This MoU permits Indian and Israeli satellites to ‘talk to each other’. Let me explain further. EL/M-2070 Tec SAR, also known as Tech SAR, Polaris and Ofek-8, is an Israeli Reconnaissance Satellite equipped with synthetic aperture radar developed by Elta Systems. It was successfully launched on January 21st, 2008, by PSLV C-10, Launch Vehicle, from S...

THE TALE OF TSD or Technical Services Division - the tragic tale of Col Hunny Bakshi and the betrayal of capable officers as also the Nation, by those within (from a posting in Quora) What could have stopped a Pulwama like attack? India did have the capability, but that capability was dismantled.  This is purportedly the story of the top-secret military intelligence unit of Indian army, TSD (Technical Support Division) and how it was sabotaged by UPA-II govt, hand in gloves with indian media, much to the relief of Pakistani establishment and ISI. And how they ruined the life of some of the finest men in uniform in the process.  A movie named Aiyaari was based on this unit but it was fictional account, much adulterated, loosing the real account. Truth is indeed stranger than fiction. THE FORMATION OF TSD After 26/11 attacks, Indian military realized the failure and inefficiency of existing Indian intelligence units i.e. RAW and IB to be an effective count...

*INSIDE STORY OF INDIA'S STRIKE INSIDE PAKISTAN* It was a coincidence, but a propitious one. Two days after a suicide bomber had driven his explosive-laden Maruti Eeco into a trooper convoy at Pulwama, killing 40 CRPF constables and escorts, the Indian Air Force had its scheduled annual firepower demonstration, Vayu Shakti, on February 16. There, in the Pokhran range where the exercise takes place every spring, several Mirages, MiG-27s and Jaguars emptied their precision bombs and ground-strike munitions in front of hundreds of news cameras, secret recoding devices and even satellite eyes of the big powers. Not more than five men on the grandstand of the VIPs knew that a few of the aircraft were actually rehearsing the strikes that they would deliver in real enemy territory exactly a week later. A day before the exercise, Air Chief Marshal B.S. Dhanoa had driven up the Raisina Hill from his Vayu Bhawan office and given a presentation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Nati...
