What I find baffling is why our defence analyst are clueless and very ignorant about modern warfare , even the seasonal commentators like Vishnu Som and Shiv Aroor are in the same bandwagon along Streamers like defence matrix
They are still advocating to fight tomorrow wars with yesterday's weapon . I find it very surprising that none of the analyst have the brains and balls to call for a improved strategy and tactics but somehow they are still fixated on importing 5th Gen platform . They are ready to spend money on platforms which are not even used by Russia in Ukraine war and is rejected by our military or trying to buy a AF which CANNOT be integrated with our system and making a very very expensive deal with unreliable partner ..I still cannot understand the rational behind it
You have to pay for infra , you have to pay for training, you have to pay for logistics and moreover you have to pay for spares which amounts to real cost and that too from external OEM's. They do love to squeeze money from us and we are allowing them to do . Its a bloody shame .
If that is the state of our esteemed defence analyst then God help us , I really hope against all hope that someone in MOD and Armed forces who are involved in strategy and planning have a forward thinking approach rather than making our Air force as a Stop Gap airforce
PS . I am not saying their heart is not in right place , all I am saying these analyst are very much old school and lack thinking or understanding about modern warfare .
