Editor: Air Commodore Jasjit Singh (Retd). RNI REGN No. DELENG/2006/18450 CONTENTS VOL. 2, NO. 3, MONSOON 2007 (JULY-SEPTEMBER) Editor’s Note vii 1. AEROSPACE POWER IN A CHANGING NATIONAL SECURITY ENVIRONMENT 1 Air Chief Marshal F.H. Major PVSM AVSM SC VM ADC, Chief of the Air Staff Indian Air Force (IAF), in his address on Aerospace Power in a Changing National Security Environment emphasises that there is a host of vital interests that lie way beyond the homeland and determine what we refer to as our “strategic boundaries”. These remote interests must be protected and that is a largely military function in which the IAF would play a critically vital role. 2. WINNING THE NEXT WAR - JOINTLY 13 Air Commodore Jasjit Singh AVSM VrC VM (Retd) has argued that joint operations would require deep abiding trust among the three Services which has been a problem even in military forces like those of the United States, organisationally integrat- ed for decades. The core of building professional institutional trust is to remove professional tensions, especially between ground and air forces. 3. PRINCIPLES OF WAR: DO THEY REQUIRE A RETHINK? 29 Air Marshal A.V. Vaidya VM emphasises that changes in the iii AIR POWER Journal Vol. 2 No. 3 MONSOON 2007 (July-September) nature of war and advances in modern technology, besides other factors require us to reexamine the long-standing princi- ples of war and see what changes are required to meet the requirements of fighting a future war and winning it. 4. EFFECT-BASED OPERATIONS 45 Air Marshal Vinod Patney, PVSM SYSM PVSM AVSM VrC (Retd), former AOC-in-C Western Air Command, writes that intelligence information about the adversaries can never be complete. And if EBO is to be used for contingency planning by the armed forces, the adversary must be viewed as a complex adaptive system. 5. FROM WINNING TO DETERRING: CHINA'S CHANGING DISCOURSE ON DEFENCE 59 Professor Srikanth Kondapalli examines China's White Papers on National Defence to interpret the changes taking place in China's defence policy and posture. The central conclusion is that China continues to believe in Sun Tzu's precepts of influencing the behaviour of the adversary as a prelude to fighting and win- ning wars. A modern military force able to conduct high-tech- nology warfare remains integral to this philosophy. 6. PAKISTAN'S NUCLEAR DOCTRINE AND STRATEGY 75 Pakistan's nuclear doctrine and strategy has been clouded by a great deal of obfuscation and ambiguities. What we can do is to arrive at some assumptions on which Pakistan would base its nuclear strategy. Dr. (Mrs) Manpreet Sethi explores the direction in which Pakistan has been moving in shaping its nuclear doctrine and strategy, wherein rhetoric and substance have often over- lapped. What has been amply clear is that its policy of brinkman- ship that exploits uncertainty and rests on a perception of irra- tionality, however, carries the risk of deterrence breakdown. AIR POWER Journal Vol. 2 No. 3 MONSOON 2007 (July-September) iv 7. IRANIAN POLITICAL SYSTEM AND THE IRGC 111 Iran’s political system is complex and unique in terms of the overlapping roles and functions of its various components. Shelly Johny examines the complexities of the political system and concludes that the IRGC actually wields power and influ- ence that transcend the formally established system of checks and balances. 8. RUSSIA'S AIR DEFENCE STRATEGY 139 As was to be expected, Russia's air defence strategy has under- gone many changes after the end of the Cold War and the dis- integration of the Soviet Union. Wing Commander Atul K. Singh VSM identifies that the current air power doctrine flows from the concept that the success of ground operations increas- ingly depends upon air force missions, from achieving air supremacy until the moment the enemy surrenders. 9. THE INFORMATION-BASED RMA AND THE PRINCIPLES OF WAR 163 Major Leonard G. Litton, USAF, examines the principles of war from a different perspective: that of the implications of the information-based revolution in military affairs (RMA) on the traditional principles of war. Litton argues that the revolution of the information-based RMA has shown us that as the times have changed, so must the paradigm we hold of the principles of war. Essentially, the information-based RMA will reinforce the principle of the offensive. This implies that the age-old requirement for the offence to concentrate forces in order to break through the defence is greatly reduced under the infor- mation-based RMA. Other changes demand a review of the tra- ditional principles of war. v AIR POWER Journal Vol. 2 No. 3 MONSOON 2007 (July-September) EDITOR’S NOTE he Indian Air Force (IAF) completes 75 years of its existence during which it has had to fight competent air forces more often than most other air Tforces have done. It is not only one of the very few air forces that were independent at birth and stayed that way, but it cut its teeth on the Northwestern Frontier Province where its partitioned limb continues to battle the tribes in Waziristan, though less successfully. And very soon after World War II came to Indian shores and borders, it underwent rapid expansion and was thrown into the war to halt the Japanese juggernaut. In a dramatic operation, it bombed the Japanese bomber base with make-shift arrangements on a lumbering reconnais- sance aircraft locally kitted with two bombs the very next day after arriving at a border airfield in Burma on February 2, 1942. During the next three days, a much older Royal Air Force (RAF) squadron, the 28th, joined in to carry out counter- air operations under the leadership of the then sole squadron of the IAF meant for army cooperation against a formidable air force From then on, the IAF has never looked back and has accumulated vast expe- rience in war and peace.

    world nuclear forces 273 VII. Pakistani nuclear forces shannon n. kile and hans m. kristensen Pakistan continues to prioritize the development and deployment of new nuclear weapons and delivery systems as part of its ‘full spectrum deterrence posture’ vis-à-vis India. It is estimated that Pakistan possessed 140–50 war- heads as of January 2018 (see table 6.8). Pakistan’s nuclear weapon arsenal is likely to expand significantly over the next decade, although estimates of the increase in warhead numbers vary considerably.1 Pakistan is believed to be gradually increasing its military fissile material holdings, which include both plutonium and highly enriched uranium (HEU) (see section X). Pakistan’s plutonium production complex is located at Khushab in the province of Punjab. It consists of four operational heavy water nuclear reactors and a heavy water production plant.2 Pakistan appears to be increasing its capacity to reprocess spent nuclear fuel—that is, to chemically separate plutonium from irradiated reactor fuel. A small reprocessing plant has been expanded at the New Laboratories facility of the Pakistan Institute of Science and Technology (PINSTECH) near Rawal- pindi. A larger reprocessing plant has been constructed at the Chashma Nuclear Power Complex in Punjab and may already be operational.3 Uranium enrichment takes place at the gas centrifuge plant in the Khan Research Laboratories (KRL) complex at Kahuta in Punjab and at a smaller plant located at Gadwal, also in Punjab. A new uranium enrichment centri- fuge plant may be under construction in the KRL complex at Kahuta.4 Pakistan’s capacity to produce HEU for nuclear weapons is constrained by its limited indigenous supply of natural uranium.5 Aircraft The Pakistan Air Force’s (PAF) Mirage III and Mirage V combat aircraft are the most likely aircraft to have been given a nuclear delivery role.

My interest in Pakistan was first aroused when, as a child, I used to hear stories from my late father, an air force officer, about two Pakistan air force officers. In undivided India they had been his flight commanders in the Royal Indian Air Force. They and my father had fought in World War II together, flying Hurricanes and Spitfires over Burma and also after the war. Both these officers later went on to head the Pakistan Air Force.

  • Missile Threat Reduction and Monitoring in South Asia1
    Missile Threat Reduction and Monitoring in South Asia 1 Kent L. Biringer issile -based threats are becoming an ever-increasing element of the strategic landscape in South MAsia. As India and Pakistan induct missiles into military units and push the performance envelope of missile capabilities, it is important to assess ways to limit the threats posed by these missiles. Regional stability with respect to missiles has both political and technical components. From a deterrence standpoint, striving to maintain some parity in capabilities could be a politically stabilizing factor in reducing the likelihood of conflict. Introduction of missiles might serve to correct imbalances in nuclear or conventional capabilities. On the other hand, as the inventories and types of missiles increase and as they are deployed, there could be an escalation of tension. These actions will result in more movement of systems, a rush to deploy new systems, the need for more testing, greater numbers of people with access to the systems, and the need for more distributed control. These and other factors raise concerns over system safety, security, and interpretation of intent. Together these developments serve to introduce instabilities that may outweigh the deterrence benefits. Missiles are of primary concern because of their potential use as delivery vehicles for nuclear weapons. The short flight-times and lack of recall ability make them more destabilizing than aircraft- delivered weapons. Many of the military advantages of missile systems, such as mobility, speed, and long range make them weapons of choice. Transparency for missile programs may offer the prospect of building confidence and reducing threats.

  • Pakistan's Military Modernization: an Overview
    © The Eurasia Studies Society of Great Britain & Europe Journal: An Open Access Working 1 Paper, Vol. 5. No. 1. March 2016. All Rights Reserved. Pakistan's military modernization: an overview By Alex Calvo Pakistan's three traditional strategic imperatives are uniting a diverse population, confronting India, and keeping Afghanistan divided, to which we can add maritime security. A look at the country's defence policy reveals how they remain the driving force behind Islamabad's efforts at military modernization. At the nuclear level, Pakistan keeps working to achieve a full triad, including sea-based components, while modernizing and expanding tactical weapons. Concerning conventional forces, modernization goes hand in hand with import-substitution, in a bid to expand export markets. Relations with China remain an important pillar of Islamabad's defence industry, which seeks to add more value and export to third countries. While the United States remains an important defence industry partner, Islamabad is increasingly relying on Beijing, as clear from plans to renew her submarine fleet with the acquisition of four boats and the production under licence of a further four. While the Navy is to some extent diversifying away from Karachi, the city remains of the utmost importance to the Pakistani military and the country at large, contributing 25 per cent of GDP, with the proposed China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) raising even further the country's maritime profile. Keywords: Pakistan, Military, Armed Forces, South Asia, Nuclear Weapons, Karachi Pakistan's Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif, and Army Chief General Raheel Sharif. The military are widely seen as retaining a significant amount of political power despite formally being under civilian command, as clear in areas like foreign policy.1 1 Source of the picture: http://thewire.in/2015/08/25/what-can-india-do-about-pakistan-9167/ © The Eurasia Studies Society of Great Britain & Europe Journal: An Open Access Working 2 Paper, Vol.
