Price: Rs 350 PICTURE PAD 2 INDIAN DEFENCE REVIEW 29.2-Apr/Jun ‘14 FROM THE EDITOR rime Minister Manmohan Singh should order Pinvestigations by a retired Supreme Court Judge into the fake military coup propagated by former Defence Secretary Shashi Kant Sharma maligning and belittling the Indian Army. It is becoming obvious that the babus in MoD, who are unable to deliver modern weapon platforms efficiently to the military, are hell bent on lowering the image of the The Fake Military Coup Indian Army, which in turn is demoralizing the troops and acts as a disincentive for the young to serve their country. This amounts to grave anti-India activity, weakening the sinews of the nation. With the political leadership clearly stating that there was no coup attempt, babu Shashi Kant Sharma and others need to be investigated and taken to task for creating a false alarm. It is imperative that we visit the contours of the military coup executed by General Musharraf in Pakistan on 12 October 1999. All militaries particularly the Army are highly trained to conduct ruthless operations against their adversary. The speed and precision of movement with the weapons they wield make them formidable and unstoppable. When the military coup took place in With the political leadership Pakistan, the Army under directions from Lt clearly stating that there was Gen Usmani, seized the air control tower to no coup attempt, babu Shashi enable Musharraf to land, troops took over control of the state-run television, put the Kant Sharma and others need prime minister Nawaz Sharif under house to be investigated and taken to arrest by encircling his residence, took over task for creating a false alarm. control of international airports and snapped the international phone lines. Thus, neutralizing the political leadership at one go and ensuring that the bureaucracy towed the line of the Pakistan Army. When armies move, whether in operational area or in civil areas, they have studied all aspects of the situation, readied adequate firepower to neutralize dissent, and thought out the end game well in advance. All military coups will have similar patterns, no matter which army conducts it. Compare the above with the picture painted by former Defence Secretary Shashi Kant Sharma, falsely implicating that the political leadership at the highest level was jittery. If the Indian Army was executing a ‘coup’, then the Shashi Kant Sharmas’ of this world would not have the luxury of inviting the former DGMO Lt Gen AK Chaudhary late at night to find out, bataiye‘ kya ho raha hai’ (tell me what is happening?), because in a coup mode the Indian Army and not the bureaucrat would be calling the shots. The former Army Chief Gen VK Singh would not be going to the Supreme Court for redressal of the age controversy. Instead he would be at the helm of affairs and conducting the operations personally to takeover New Delhi. The movement of a mechanized infantry unit without ammunition from Hissar and a paratroopers detachment from Agra late at night on January 16, 2012 were conducting normal routine exercises unrelated to each other. In a huge army, there is continuous training of local units, FROM THE EDITOR 29.2-Apr/Jun ‘14 INDIAN DEFENCE REVIEW 3 which are neither projected to the DGMO or to the Army HQs. Also,every Brigade Commander upwards independently is authorized to mobilize his formation within an hour 24x7 and they don’t need permissions for war mobilization. At the same time, there are always sufficient well-trained and armed troops available in the capital to take over a small city like New Delhi. It really does not require extra troops from outside with two permanent infantry brigades, one artillery brigade, engineers and signal regiments that are stationed in the Capital. In fact, when a new Army Chief takes over, his battle hardened ...India has a federal structure infantry battalion or one of the battalions from where all the state capitals his regiment serve in the Capital as a personal will be required to be honour: a battle hardened infantry battalion by itself is a very lethal force that can create simultaneously brought under mayhem. Furthermore, since this picture was the Indian Army’s control. painted by babu Sharma on 16 January 2012, This is not so in Pakistan a huge contingent of Indian Army had already moved into New Delhi for the 26 January where only Islamabad has to Republic Day parade. Hence, no extra troops be taken over. were required in any case. Therefore, it is obvious that this great army is not in the business of military coups despite the wherewithal permanently at its disposal at New Delhi! This was a false alarm purposely created to malign the Indian Army as the Army Chief and the Ministry of Defence were at loggerheads due to the General’s demand to rectify incorrect entry of his date of birth. Further, if the coup was actually taking place, the former Defence Secretary would not have had the luxury of leaking the information to a newspaper to create panic – he would have been effectively neutralised well in time because this is how a professional army executes its tasks. Despite the impediments created by politicians and bureaucrats in terms of paucity of young human resources and necessary equipment, the Indian Army remains extraordinarily professional in its approach of securing the nation’s borders. The idea of a military coup, therefore, is preposterous and unthinkable in India! A military coup is simply not feasible otherwise also as India has a federal structure where all the state capitals will be required to be simultaneously brought under the Indian Army’s control. This is not so in Pakistan where only Islamabad has to be taken over. The continuous and gross neglect of the Indian Army and insulting behavior of the civil administration towards the military is, therefore, a matter of shame. It is time that the Army Chief asserts his dignity to restore the honour of this great army by demanding of the Prime Minister to institute an inquiry into the former Defence Secretary’s obnoxious behavior of creating the false alarm and heaping insults. The guilty must be taken to task. This will help to quell the rising frustrations and anger within the rank and file of the Indian military. Minister, My Minister! Defences Are Down! n the past seven years Defence Minister AK Antony’s incompetence has ensured that India’s Imilitary capability rapidly shrinks.

    Strategic Command, Control, A CBO Study and Communications: October 1981 Alternative Approaches for Modernization Congress of the United States Congressional Budget Office STRATEGIC COMMAND, CONTROL, AND COMMUNICATIONS: ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES FOR MODERNIZATION The Congress of the United States Congressional Budget Office PREFACE The United States is currently engaged in a substantial expansion and modernization of the nation's strategic nuclear forces. Those efforts have been accompanied by a reevaluation of military doctrine that would govern use of nuclear weapons in the event of an attack. That evolving new doctrine implies that Soviet aggression can no longer be deterred by a U.S. arsenal that is only capable of prompt and large-scale retaliation, but must also be prepared to sustain nuclear combat of various scales and durations. The Executive Branch has so far focused primarily on the development of the forces' offensive elements, including the MX missile, a new generation of ballistic missile submarines, and a new bomber aircraft. The network that controls and would direct the actions of the offensive forces—the command, control, and communications, or C^, system—has received relatively little emphasis to date, though many strategists and analysts concur that this critical nervous system is as sorely in need of improvement as the offensive forces themselves. The Senate Armed Services Committee has therefore requested the Congressional Budget Office to study the relative costs and effectiveness of several approaches to upgrading the C^ system. This paper is an unclassified version of one submitted to that committee this past February. The study was prepared by John J. Hamre, Richard H.

  • SIPRI Yearbook 2018: Armaments, Disarmament and International
    world nuclear forces 267 VI. Indian nuclear forces shannon n. kile and hans m. kristensen India is estimated to have a growing arsenal of 130–40 nuclear weapons (see table 6.7). This figure is based on calculations of India’s inventory of weapon-grade plutonium and the number of operational nuclear-capable delivery systems. India is widely believed to be gradually expanding the size of its nuclear weapon stockpile as well as its infrastructure for producing nuclear warheads. Military fissile material production India’s nuclear weapons are believed to be plutonium-based. The plutonium was produced at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) in Trombay, Mumbai, by the 40-megawatt-thermal (MW(t)) heavy water CIRUS reactor, which was shut down at the end of 2010, and the 100-MW(t) Dhruva heavy water reactor. India operates a plutonium reprocessing plant for military purposes at the BARC.1 India plans to build six fast breeder reactors by the 2030s, which will significantly increase its capacity to produce plutonium that could be used for building weapons.2 An unsafeguarded 500-megawatt-electric (MW(e)) prototype fast breeder reactor (PFBR) is being built at the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR) complex at Kalpakkam, Tamil Nadu. The PFBR is expected to be commissioned in mid-2018 following a series of technical delays.3 The IGCAR has announced that a fast reactor fuel cycle facility will be built at Kalpakkam to reprocess spent fuel from the PFBR and future fast breeder reactors. The plant is scheduled to be commissioned by 2022.4 India is currently expanding its uranium enrichment capabilities.

  • Indian Army Successfully Carries out Trials of Third Generation NAG Missiles
    Sat, 20 July 2019 Indian Army successfully carries out trials of third generation NAG missiles The trials of the missiles, developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), were conducted between July 7 to July 18, 2019 By Manjeet Singh Negi The Indian Army has successfully carried out its summer user trials of third Generation Anti-Tank Guided Missile NAG at Pokhran Field Firing Ranges. The trials of the missiles, developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), were conducted between July 7 to July 18, 2019. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh congratulated the user-evaluation teams and the DRDO for the successful completion of the user trials. The NAG missile has been developed to engage highly fortified enemy tanks in all weather conditions with day and night capabilities and with a minimum range of 500m and maximum range of 4 km. It is a third-generation fire-and-forget-class missile and uses an imaging infrared seeker in lock-on- before-launch mode. The missile is launched from the NAG missile carrier (NAMICA) which is capable of carrying up to six combat missiles. The robust imaging algorithm has made the missile hit the target at a distance of 4 km even in severe summer desert conditions which is unique in its class. As part of the NAG summer user trials, six missions were conducted under extreme temperature conditions of the Pokhran Ranges. All the missiles have met the mission objectives including minimum range, maximum range, indirect attack as well as top attack modes and achieved a direct hit on the target.

Besides the existing players creating series of success stories in Make-in-India, many new entrants have entered the sector to be part of India’s defence manufacturing ecosystem. In the last few years, the Indian industry has grown leaps and bounds through indigenous manufacturing exploiting inhouse innovations as well as strategic partner- ships through collaboration with foreign OEMs of choice. A very significant growth multiplier over the past five years is visible in the defence exports arena. The Industry is further energized with the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan’ along with the recent easing of FDI regulations in the defence sector, as a strategic direction to future. With proactive and industry friendly policies (DPEEP) and procedures (DAP), tax incentivisation (lower tax rates for new manufactur- ing companies), labour reforms and reform in company Law in quick suc- cession, promoting acquisition of indigenous defence goods by prioritizing Indigenous offerings, all in place and having articulated a target of achieving a USD25 billion defence industry by 2025, India is has provided the required impetus not only to indigenise its own market but also significantly contrib- ute towards the growth of its share in the global defence market.
