@Crystal_x_Clear @Gen_RajShukla It’s a self inflicted cancer. Needs immediate and urgent surgery

“The National security paradigm has moved to H1. And where are we stuck? We are stuck with L1. L1 is a disease and it has to go” — @Gen_RajShukla We are talking about doing away with L1 & bringing bureaucratic reform even in 2026.🤦‍♂️

This afternoon, I had the pleasure of speaking with General @Ptr6Vb , Former Director General of Military Operations, Indian Army, about the strategic importance of the Strait of Malacca in the Indo-Pacific landscape. Full conversation here: youtu.be/nAjIvCuT2og?si… (Interview conducted in a personal capacity.)

@PinkuRaaji @parkplus_io It was not a discounted challan

@Ptr6Vb @parkplus_io Is this even legal? Selling discounted challans, wow.

@parkplus_io . I have been receiving messages of a traffic challan. I paid the tragic challan in your app @400 plus 150/- , total 450 on 11 feb, for my vehicle DBD0072. The challan has not been settled by you. Did not expect a fraud from this app. Please resolve and confirm

@MeCombatSoldier Who is IPS . There is a difference between A para jump and a paratroopers jump/ Para drop

@Ptr6Vb that means you never met IPS they did more para jumps then the actual Para Regiments in all

The PARATROOPERS. Proud to belong to the best.

@JainMrigank I do not have his contact. Will try to get it

@Ptr6Vb Sir, came across a dtd post of yours where you offered condolences to Col Gulshan Saini on the sad demise of his mother. I understand he was my classmate in AMC Centre & School Lucknow more than 45 years ago. Is it possible to get his X handle or any other social media contact

@ANI Well stated

#WATCH | Delhi: At the Synergia Conclave, Lieutenant General Vipul Shinghal, AVSM, SM, Deputy Chief of Integrated Defence Staff (Doctrine, Organisation, and Training), says, "...Even when I operate an AI system, I understand how to use it, but I don’t know what manipulation of data is happening... Where we have control and where we are also focusing is that our commanders, who earlier were only dealing with troops and making decisions based on that, are now dealing with algorithms and systems... they must have the ability to question machine outputs... These aspects are being debated worldwide... India itself has recently lost any regulation after the AI summit, and we are part of these discussions. The consensus is hard, but it is building..." He adds, "Meaningful human control is another aspect that is taking shape. Meaningful human control means that commanders must be able to access control meaningfully, and for that, they require 4 inputs or rather 4 levers: sufficient situational awareness... adequate time and information... And the ability to override or intervene... if they understand its limitations, we will be able to, at least in systems of the armed forces and weapons systems, ensure that we use AI for user responsibility. The moral responsibility must remain with the commander, and our conscience must keep that in place... In the Indian context, we have always believed that Shakti must go hand in hand with Dharma, that this force must go hand in hand with righteousness..." (11.03)

@jai_samota Great. Salute

For Chushul only, I've spoken with more than 50 veterans/families! After 6 decades this is a decent number I believe.

@ajaynewsman @thetribunechd How can it be a quiet visit???? Wish it was

Bangladesh Army’s top military intelligence official, Major General Mohammad Kaiser Rashid Chowdhury, made a quiet visit to New Delhi and met R&AW chief Parag Jain and the Director General of Military Intelligence, Lt Gen RS Raman.

@AnchitGupta9 Yes recollect that as a child. I was singularly fortunate and honoured to lay a wreath in a solemn ceremony held at Generals Memorial, Poonch ( where the helicopter crashed) on 22 Nov 2007 and 2008 as the GOC Ace of Spades Division.

Tragically, he was killed with Lt Gen Daulet Singh & AVM Pinto in a Chetak crash on 22 Nov 1963, when the heptr struck telegraph wires. The pilot, Flt Lt SS Sondhi, had earlier won gallantry honours at Galwan. A sad day, marked by President Kennedy’s assassination too.

@envsanjayk Thank you so very much. Grateful indeed

@Ptr6Vb I am deleting that Tweet.

May I request you to refrain from posting such baseless comments on a former Chief of the Indian Army. We recaptured the Kargil heights under his leadership. The int failure was at the strategic level. The army resource and role was and is limited to operational and tactical int.

On target, Malacca Strait is also a Strategic vulnerability and concern for China, dominating the Malacca strait is imperative for India.

The worlds biggest oil choke point is NOT Straits of Hormuz but the Straits of Malacca. ( see graphic : Courtesy Visual Capitalist, data from EIA, Data H1 2025) The Iranian Navy & its military controls the Hormuz , the impact of which is being felt globally today. The US wants to controls the Panama Canal, another oil choke point. The Egyptians wrested control of the Suez Canal from the Brits & now have a huge leverage in controlling the entry of oil into the Mediterranean. The Indian Navy & its military controls the entry/ exit to Straits of Malacca. Time to draw up our plans to leverage this huge global vulnerability to deter any threats to our soverignity & integrity. @adgpi @indiannavy @IAF_MCC @HQ_IDS_India @nmfindia @ANI

Thank you. After Op Cactus Maldives - Time Magazine cover of 09 Apr 1989. India Rising Super Power.

@MeShashankM @Vedmalik1 @Libertarian196 Bills eye. Thanks

@Vedmalik1 The more one becomes aware of #OpCactus, the greater the realization dawns upon it has been the finest hour of jointmanship since '71 backed by crystal clear strategic thought. Gen @Ptr6Vb mentions, telling US Navy that they aren't needed @Libertarian196 youtu.be/r4b4afvtUtM?t=…

1. US sinking of IRIS Dena marks extension of West Asia war to Indian Ocean. Reminds me of Op Cactus (Maldives) in Nov 1988. Maldives Govt desperately wanted mil help. When we were discussing our response & plans in Ops Room, FS KPS Menon received a tele call.

Yes sir, we executed Op successfully on our own. On 04 Nov 1988 afternoon ( after we had accomplished the mission), I got a call at Male from COO of US Task force that if we wanted any help they were three hours away. I thanked & told him that mission successful -Not required.

Kya idea hai
