@shiv_cybersurg @chakranewz I think the question is not whether you should have a aircraft or not, the question is what can you get today asap. Our enemies will not wait for 10 years until we aquire rafale, they will infiltrate again in few years and by then we need to have dozens of options to respond.

@chakranewz In peacetime which ground launched missile will check out an intruding or stray aircraft entering Indian airspace and get the intruder to leave or divert. In peacetime which ground launched missile will check out whether a radar alert is a drone or a flock of birds?

Fighter Jets are critical for flexibility. But what if you don’t have them? "A Dassault Rafale costs about $100M while a missile launcher ~$1M," notes Lt Gen P R Shankar in Lessons From War on Chakra Newz. "That’s 1 jet vs 100 strikes," he adds. So has Iran already changed the playbook?

@Ahlawat2012 A booster can propel a guided missile to Mach 1, you don’t need an aircraft for that. I am not clear why you need an aircraft to launch a missile in today’s age when target acquisition is done by satellites, awacs & drones

Every weapon system under the Sun has had its day, and then faded into irrelevance. Manned fighters too would become irrelevant- but that day is not here - yet. Missiles, drones and rockets are important, but not enough on their own. In Isolation, they can delay defeat, but not ensure victory. They are defenders weapon, if not backed by offensive air power. Despite fielding the best dronery, Ukr can not defeat Russia. Just hold them off to a messy draw. Despite significant Missiles tech, Iran can not beat USA or Israel, just delay capitulation. Harassment yes, victory no. However, when used in a judicious mix with manned airpower, it becomes a war winning combo. General sahab has an opinion, I respect it and reject it completely. If one equates Missiles fired from the surface at zero release velocity, from a static launcher : with a platform moving at 350 meters per second, with Missile release velocity close to 1 mach, - then we are not just disrespectful of a sister service , but of physics as well.

@CallMeNerd08 @TeamYouTube It’s stopped working for me too

Hey @TeamYouTube, videos aren’t playing on the mobile app (iOS/Android). Full internet connection, tried force stopping and clearing cache, but still getting the infinite loading screen. Is there a known outage? 📉 #YouTubeDown

@rhinohistorian @shiv_cybersurg I don’t know if you saw the whole interview, he was very practical in hood suggestion, I.e. get what you can get quickly and in bulk instead of chasing fancy foreign built toys.

Deeply flawed arguments that reveal a sense of frustration and waning influence of a particular arm of the Indian Army that seeks relevance- instead of aiming your long distance vectors at a sister service , why don’t you first regain your mojo within the service !

@Manik_M_Jolly I think he was simply saying that don’t wait for just aircraft based solutions but rather order more of what you can already get a.k.a brahmos / nirbhai etc

Why approach an resolve everything like a limited binary solution ? Aircrafts have their own value and missiles their own. Can missiles patrol the area, carry out long dog fights, provide consistent air cover ..no. A great mix of both, role and terrain dependent, will always be the ultimate solution.

@mjavinod @mjavinod can you help us understand what is the difference between ground launched brahmos & air launched brahmos? Does it improve accuracy or guidance?

I don’t blame the General for not knowing anything about TST & DT SOME OF THE Tangos and their hideouts are prime example of it That’s our job, Army doesn’t need to know, learn or understand about it Like we don’t need to, about Army specific operations NEED TO KNOW BASIS

@gho9491 @KSingh_1469 You are a paki, pretty clear from your attitude

@sohamn4cloud @KSingh_1469 I am indian I call sri lankans parasite ...now fck off

India sure does a lot to get so little in return from these parasites

@sneheshphilip No strategic impact??? Iran is holding the entire Middle East hostage with Drones and Air marshal says no strategic impact ?? Maybe Air Marshal is confusing between Strategy and Tactics.

Air Marshal Tiwari (Retd) speaks out against rocket force and stresses on modern fighter aircraft. Says only countries like China and Russia have done. Iran was forced to do it. No western countries have done it

@JaipurDialogues Their marketing material and actual drone has a lot of differences. Here is the video, see for yourself. For now it appears to be a basic POC at best, a school boy project at worst.

Divyastra-MK1 Range of 2000 km with an endurance of 12 hours. Amazing!

@mjavinod Actually which ever local designed this bridge should be sent for civil engineering course because he/she would be able to do wonders. I don’t want to mock this, this is impressive that it can take the weight and weather their crazy weather.

Bangladesh Has invented a eco-friendly World class Reusable bridge 🌁 Super power Bangladesh 🇧🇩

@AadiAchint Here is the video -

@AadiAchint Something is fishy, these same guys put up the other video couple of days earlier where the drone has a front propeller and was made of thermocol.

2000 kms with 12 hours endurance. Super job.

@sarahadams @RoKhanna You really think Trump has a plan?

@RoKhanna So we should tell the enemy the plan, publicly?!

The only thing worse than taking us into another Middle East war is telling us nothing about how to end it.

@theupindex Most likely crashed against the sidewall while taxing. This is a high school project for now.

Divyastra Mk2 - high speed taxi trails ongoing at 145 kph. Range ~ 1,500-2,000 km Endurance ~ 8-12 hrs Payload capacity ~ 50-100 kg Designed and made in India by Lucknow based HoverIT 👏 👏

@alpha_defense How many do you get in $47 million? 10? Is that enough?

How many of you are surprised with approval of Tunguska Air Defence Missile Systems ? Recommendation look at it as an anti drone system with hard kill capabilities.

@Leonizm351 What more weird than being a turkey

Hindistan'ın Filmi ayrı garip yemesi içmesi bu güreş yapan tipler nedir arkadaş

@royan_sanju Iran is holding the world at ransom just by the sheer power of drones. , If u remember Pakistan has a substantial Air Force but it couldn’t fly from 2nd day onwards in op sindoor because unless you are USA u are substantially vulnerable. Drones give u asymmetric capabilities.

Wrote this a couple weeks back and all I recived was hate, first of all I'm a def-tech founder and this is my full time job for the past two years. And once again, no Shaheed is not a successfull weapon system and what Iran had was a utter failure with its predictions. If Iran has spent theamount of money spent on drones and ballistic missile on It's airforce buying fighters & AD in 1000s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would have been alive by now. Saar Shaheed damage oil refinery saar so we need shaheed too saaar, China can manufacture 10x number of SAM missiles than the number of suicide drones India could ever produce. Saar Pakistan saturation attack saar, that's what we have brahmos and Nirbhay for. Increase their prodction to over 1000/ year. stokpile enough to take down every single PAK airforce stations. Shaheed is a good weapon for terrorist groups to terrorise innocent civilian population not a good military weapon. US used Tomahawk to launch strikes on Iran not LUCAS Drones. People in higher ranks of Military know things far better than 99% twitter keyboard warriors. Just don't wrongly influence stuff. Yes these toys looks fancy and I want one too but Indian Army, Navy and Airforce want much leather actual military systems. You don't design, build / buy a weapon system just because its good ! that is not how military strataegy works. Just because Iron Dome is good dosen't means India needs one. F14s were built for Carrier strike groups, the moment the case is not valid anymore they are sent out of service same goes for every other fighter story. For the past two years my job has been observing military systems and why & how it is built the way it is and that's my full time job, I'm not a random guy posting stuff after my 9-5 job, this is my daily job.

@EastRep77 Why are you trying to act like an American or Christian when you are located in Pakistan? But the reason no one mentions India but mentions Pakistan is because your policy explicitly seeks to launch nuclear weapons (First Use), while Indian policy is only for deterrence (NFU).

Tulsi Gabbard, a tilak wearing pagan Hindu who's occupying a high office in the US, strategically forgot to mention India's Agni-5 and Agni-6 ICBMs during her presentation. I wonder why.

@ItsPAPA2_ Most paramilitary forces like CRPF/CISF/J&K police etc are led by IPS.

Just give me one photo of an #IPS officer leading operations on the ground like men in any of the paramilitary forces.
