Had to muster all my courage to finish reading these two, safe to say had a strange heartbreaking feeling, the one filled with pride after each chapter. What a beautiful ode to our men in uniform one that shall live forever through the written word. <3 @ShivAroor @rahulsinghx
For all we speak of “jointness”, the Army & Air Force still haven’t sorted out who should be primary operator of attack copters. Therefore, distinction of being only country buying super-expensive helicopters in piecemeal lots. The separate skins simply underscore this.
Indian military the only AH-64 Apache operator now with airframes that sport two different skins?
Great report by @ShivAroor @ndtv about India retiring the MiG-21. Out with the old. In with the new and dominant. A modern Indian military is now unmatched in South Asia.
After 62 years, the IAF will finally retire its last MiG-21s this September. A jet adored by its pilots, loathed by many, and immortalised in both war & cinema. The MiG-21 was beloved, infamous & raw. Truly, the end of an era. I look back:

Chinese-made ‘junk’ jet crashes into a Dhaka school killing 19 (mostly students) yesterday. Horrifying scenes. Indian & Bangladesh Air Force fighter pilots joined me live on my show last night to discuss the details.

Think it’s safe to say this health/medical advice reason is bullshit.
So well presented by Shiv. It is indeed a shame that some of our parties act like this on issues of national honor and pride after our armed forces achieved the only post WW2 era military strikes deep inside another nation with nuclear arseal and big powers backing. Our armed…
Frustrated & imaginationless. The Opposition is making Op Sindoor a useless ego battle. 16 hours allocated to a FULL debate, but instead of owning India’s boldest military strike, time for pettiness pro maxx. My take:
