<\/a><\/p>\nWe must thank god that for saving Operation Sindoor from being a\u00a0 disaster because we had\u00a0 our Brahmos , S 400 missiles . Similarly Pakistan had another surprise in Turkish swarm drones Initially but we were ready with our jugaad but effective guns. \u00a0Our Rafale did a good job with Scalp missiles in destroying Bahawalpur , Mudrike and other terror centres .But Pakistanis were prepared and waiting with 200 km range PL 15 original Chinese missiles with J 10 place beyond Indian BVR range and missile was supported by AWAC link transfer facility till it came very close to our planes . We knew Chinese have developed long range missiles . We should have immediately taken steps to procure matching missiles . Why we did not immediately equip our Sukhoi 30s with long range missiles although in Balakot we had similar experience with Americam AMRAAM missile launched from F 16s on our Sukhois.<\/p>\n
We have sycophant & \u0918\u092e\u0902\u0921\u0940 Babus ruling Defence Procurement and a Finance ministry who never realise that our thousand years of slavery was due to military unpreparedness right from \u00a0from use of horse over elephants by Alexender to Abdali\u2019s \u00a0camel mounted guns . It should have alerted our Babus and their bosses that for avoiding defeats in wars , we have to be proactive and not\u00a0 reactive in purchases of latest weapons and not after others have acquired it . But even when Chiefs are given purchase powers, Babus make it ineffective by clauses like \u2018 only indigenous equipment \u2018. How can Indigenous purchase give us better missile than PL 17 or better aircraft than J 35 ?<\/p>\n
Our Netas are so enamoured by their sycophant babus that they do not feel confident with self respecting and plain speaking Chiefs like General Manekshaw , who warned Smt. Gandhi of perils of attacking Dacca in monsoons .<\/p>\n
Balakot \u2018s communication cutoff of Abhinandan\u2019s plane \u00a0should have made us wiser but shock lasted for a few months only . The Sloths in the ministry won again over Generals in a year . We have to buy best equipment in next one year if not earlier by spending one lakh crore rupees extra\u00a0 in Defence procurement every year . These should be on single tender purchase basis for the best technology by a committee of three service chiefs who alone are knowledgeable and \u00a0responsible enough . The shopkeeper\u2019s government must come out of its cherished bargaining habit and vigilance fears\u00a0 .<\/p>\n
Like Vajpayee , PM Modi should meet three Service Chiefs without any aides every three months .<\/p>\n
We have exhausted our good luck and may not be as lucky next time as both Chinese and Pakistanis are quick learners and can make very quick decisions in defence matters !<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
