Iran War assessment after 72 hours.
The resilience, missile/drone capacity and asymmetric strategy of the Iranian regime has come as a surprise to US-Israel.
The intent now, in next 3-4 weeks, would be to destroy nuclear, military and economic (oil and defence industry) infrastructure and continue targeting the political/military leadership hoping for a psychological collapse of the regime. The result is contingent on Iran’s residual ballistic missile and drone capacity.
If the regime remains resilient, then US will declare victory and try to negotiate favourable terms and exit, if at all it can.
Short of regime change it would be a political defeat for US-Israel. Boots on ground will lead to a bigger defeat.
A devastated Iran will have no reason to negotiate. It will switch to asymmetric warfare leading to prolonged turmoil in Middle East including political upheaval. Trump has opened Pandora’s Box.
Next one week will show up a more discernible trend.

Unbelievable.
A Delhi Police officer confronts an independent journalist, warning him that he cannot report from the road and will be CHALLANED for reporting with a mic and camera.
And yes, he’s the SAME officer who asked @Saurabh_Unmute, “Ye kya hai red mic?” and denied him entry to cover Delhi protest.

आपने कभी 1 लाख रुपए की बाल्टी देखी है?
अगर नहीं देखी तो मध्य प्रदेश में देख लीजिए। जहां करप्शन में गले तक डूबी BJP सरकार ने 👇
⦿ 1 लाख रुपए की एक बाल्टी
⦿ 33 हजार रुपए की एक फिनाइल की बोतल
⦿ 30 हजार रुपए का एक बल्ब खरीदा है
BJP सरकार लूट-खसोट में अपना ही रिकॉर्ड तोड़ रही है।
जनता के पैसों की खुली बंदरबांट कर नेता-अधिकारी अपनी तिजोरियां भर रहे हैं और मौज काट रहे हैं।

So, a form changed online, appeals filed before tribunals, an order issued. The affidavit confirms each, under oath. It calls none a mistake, names no one, and never answers the question the two Commissioners kept asking, which wasn’t whether their notes were decisions. It was why they were finding out afterwards.

My op-ed in @the_hindu newspaper this morning, on the leadership deficit in the military.
"There is something gravely flawed with our leadership training. Many young officers start out as gallant captains and majors. Why then, when they become generals, admirals and air marshals do so many fail to seize the moment?"

Said this earlier. Will say it again, even at the cost of sounding unpopular. How many displays are too many when IAF is at its lowest Sqn strength? Frontline fighters are sparse resources, and displays shouldn’t be at the cost of operational training.

Proud to have conceptualized and designed this Special Carried Cover to mark the 94th glorious anniversary of Indian Air Force.

Ah - “A group of 21 news publishers, including companies owned by billionaires Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani, has challenged India's privacy law in court, arguing it would trample investigative work and let New Delhi identify journalists' sources, documents show.”
When the water is lapping up their feet, mighty media companies are coming together to complain about the “hidden dangers” of the new “Privacy Laws” in India.
Remember: its very difficult to contain the monster you’ve been feeding for a decade.

Many bangers in the @ajaishukla piece about the Hindutva-isation of the military brass but this one: For no apparent reason, the IAF appears to be more Sanskrit-ised than the other two services. One wag at a recent seminar commented, “it might be because they serve closer to God”

"Today, India is once again in the vanguard — this time leading, perhaps, in the opposite direction....Beset as Modi is by crises within and without, his iron grip on power is clanging against the steel of India’s messy democracy."

Asaphila, 'the place where even the devil is afraid of going', is one of the areas of frequent disputes between Indian and Chinese security forces at the Arunachal frontier. 20 years back a dispute was resolved there. How?

🇺🇸 Pete Hegseth just got absolutely humiliated by Senator Tammy Duckworth!
Senator Tammy Duckworth, a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel who lost both legs while serving in Iraq, challenged Hegseth:
"I'm glad you brought that up. Can you name a single country that belongs to ASEAN and explain what agreement we have with it? And, by the way, how many countries are in ASEAN? Frankly, I'm not sure you even know who our allies are."
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth:
"Well, I can't give you the exact number, but I certainly know our allies in South Korea, Japan, and Australia..."
Senator Duckworth:
"None of the countries you just mentioned are members of ASEAN. I suggest you do your homework before engaging in these discussions."
And this is the kind of clueless bullshit running the Pentagon. Absolutely unbelievable.

Those were the days.
Now sitting ducks for drones.
An amazing view of AH-64s from the 12th CAB’s “Viper Battalion” lying in ambush, hovering just a few feet above the ground during a training exercise (Circa 2020). Attack helicopter crews train hard to hug the terrain, using trees, ridgelines and folds in the ground to mask their approach from enemy radar and SHORAD. Then, at the right moment, they pop up, unleash their missiles and disappear back into cover. It may not look like much, but Western attack helicopters are deadly ambush predators, especially when hunting armour.
