Ep 254 - Can India's Army Keep Up with the Changing Threat Landscape? | Lt. Gen. Raj Shukla

[@ckcariappa]

Wonderfully nuanced conversation on Military Modernization! Gen. Shukla is a rare type of intellectual - one who can combine strategic and tactical expertise, can think of operational nuances and as well as broader narratives and constraints. Really enjoyed this conversation!

[@saths]

One of the most thoughtful and thought provoking conversations I've come across. Gen. Raj Shukla is such an intellectual military man. And kudos to Kamal, as host, for a brilliant job of moving the conversation along. Well worth the time watching this session.

Have seen the General closely. His vision is far reaching and sets the temper right for future ready armed forces. Some great takeaways 1. “National Security is a fused endeavour” 2. “Unconventional war is an academic parlance ” 3. “Now is the War of talents and entrepreneurialship “ 4. “Need to fuse Saraswati and Lakshmi with Durga” 5. “Change adaptations in form of OFB reorganisation, Aatmanirbhar Bharat, Inspace etc in the last 10 years are remarkable”

1- 12 crore population of Delhi became a gas chamber where Indian youth aspiring IAS ,strategist 3tc. All are getting asthma and thinking to become super power quite a rosy red dream. Internal power building leads to external power projection. Hope India gets what's needs to be done first.

Despite many heavy weapons we don't have own fully functional GPS. Navic still not fully operational. Cyber security, don't have own apps, social media apps, own operating system, servers, firewall, data localisation etc. Next we still not done fully 100% capable in small arms, ammunition, drones, anti drone, military Robots and many area. No proper safe keeping place for arms, ammunition, soldiers, vital installation underground similar to Iran and their prixies. Jet engine technology yet to develop. All projects are delayed and getting more expensive and no development of alternative system. Peace time modernisation and basic fundamental needed to be strengthened

The amateurs discuss tactics: the professionals discuss logistics." India should not even consider starting a war with China because the Chinese military-industrial complex is the largest in capacity in the world, even surpassing the USA. In terms of technology, it is second only to the USA. In the case of a prolonged war of attrition, like the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, we would go bankrupt trying to sustain the fight and purchase supplies, arms, ammunition, and weaponry. China has already captured a large part of the so-called disputed territory without firing a single shot, and India has essentially accepted defeat without resistance. In reality, China is capable of challenging the USA, while we are not even capable of decisively defeating a bankrupt country like Pakistan.

NO No army can meet such changing scenario with decreasing manpower & budget & Specially when many of these challenges like Bangladesh etc could hsve been prevented by timely intervention via Intelligence or other Operations but govt neglected it deliberately!

1:11:45 he says come 2028 we should not be embarrassed.. what movement was he referring to?

[@himaraj742]

He is referring to U.S elections in four years with a coincidental war in some places, Chinese capabilities rising to high and an imminent threat of Chinese attack on India with its fast paced development n militarisation of tech. While India still limb with bureaucracy and internal politics dragging it down from serious development and technological innovations

[@ramamurtipaluri2420]

Yes Gen Saab. In olden days Indian leaders portrayed India as “peace loving doves” and went on to the extent to say we do not require army. The dynamics of war and weaponry is rapidly evolving. Equipment is quickly getting out dated. If the country is weak no one respects. We need to be strong. Although we do not want to invade China or Pakistan, we need to be strong to challenge them with vigor to give a bloody nose. If China bullies us with their missiles they must know we also can rain missiles. So China and western powers will talk to us respectfully. Thus in the changing scenario, we must equip ourselves, if not equally, but match them. This means we have to spend money to stay in the game. Certainly we do not need to match with US or Russia. Finally, we should not underestimate Pakistan as its China’s concubine. What China has Pakistan will have, b

Do we need to tell world ,what wewill do what are our plan ?

[@niraj2020]

We need DOGE similar to US president Donald J Trump bringing reform in US. From abolishing Personal Income tax simplifying GST, other taxes, abolishing collegium system of selection of judges, judicial and administrative reform and many reform to decolonise, delicence, deregulate, decontrol all sector needed. Despite 2 terms, Modi 3.0 failed drastic reform. For such reform we need to bring Yogi Adityanath as PM only option available now. Modi now became old, tired, retired feel fatigue and lost interest in domestic politics and committed to Bharatiya voters. Now wanted to wear secular pyjama and diluted adulterers Hindutva now.
