12 Brain Teaser Questions Asked In SSB Interview

The personality analysis in SSB is done using various tests and getting a perfect match for the Armed Forces is the ultimate need. The basic theory of Mansa, Vachna, and Karma is used to get the correct personality frame of the candidate. Here, Vachna indicates the personal interview technique. The technique here is to find out the relation between what the candidates speak with what he thinks (psychology) and what he does (ground tasks). The variety of questions asked in a personal interview is unexpected, but still, some of the brain-teasing questions are there that need intense mind involvement to reply. Some of them are mentioned below.

12 Brain Teaser Questions Asked In SSB Interview

  1. Being a repeater, why don’t you join army as OR and try for ACC and other entries for internal commission?

PoK Could’ve Been Ours Had We Opted For Military Solution: Arup Raha

ARUP RAHA

Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha said that PoK (Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir) would have been ours if India had opted for a military solution then rather than taking a “moral high ground” and rushing to the UN for a peaceful solution.

He also describing PoK as a “thorn in our flesh,” saying India did not follow a “pragmatic approach” to its security needs.ARUP RAHA

He went on to say that when hordes of raiders attacked Jammu and Kashmir in 1947 (the tribal militia issue), it was IAF’s transport planes which helped Indian soldiers and equipment to reach the battleground.

These comments are in sync with the view that India did not use its superiority in conventional arms in settling the Kashmir dispute at a time when Pakistan had not acquired nuclear weapons.

Raha said that in the past, India has been reluctant in using military power, especially air power, and did not apply its full force in achieving the end of conflicts.

According to him, the only time when air power was fully utilised was in the 1971 war and the outcome was creation of Bangladesh after just 15 days of conflict.

The IAF chief’s remarks come as India has conveyed to Pakistan that it will discuss the issue of “earliest possible vacation” of Pakistani Administered Kashmir during the upcoming Foreign Secretary level talks in Islamabad.

India has also raised the issue of Balochistan, in Pakistan, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself commenting on the issue during his Independence Day speech and speaking about the alleged rights violations there during an all-party meeting earlier.

Well said Chief! At least someone has the courage to speak the truth. We have been let down by our political diplomacy time and again and now, you give us some hope of a better Kashmir.

India-US Signs ‘Logistics Exchange Memorandum of Agreement’ (LEMOA)

Logistics Exchange Memorandum of Agreement (LEMOA)

India and the United States have signed on a landmark defence agreement (LEMOA) that will increase the military cooperation between two of the world’s largest democracies.

India has signed the Logistics Exchange Memorandum of Agreement (LEMOA) with the US which will allow both of their militaries to work closely, allowing them to use each other’s bases for repair and replenishment of supplies.

It doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with the setting up of a base, though.

Basically it is about a protocol that allows both sides to exchange logistic supplies. The classic example is if, say, an Indian naval ship is in Southeast Asia and needs fuel at short notice, and a US tanker is in the near vicinity — the latter can provide the fuel to the Indian vessel.Logistics Exchange Memorandum of Agreement (LEMOA)

But this does not imply we become a US military ally. We are not obliged to provide support to any and every US military operation in the region. Every LEMOA arrangement has to be negotiated in advance.

It will be more useful in case of humanitarian assistance and disaster relief. It does make you a partner in terms of providing public good.

The logistics agreement between the two countries was first proposed in 2003 but India did not agree to its signing until earlier this year.

Havildar Hangpan Dada

Amidst the heavy unrest in the Kashmir valley, a soldier who sacrificed his life in North Kashmir on May 26, was awarded the Ashok Chakra posthumously. It was sheer grit and determination displayed by Havildar Hangpan Dada that won him the highest peacetime gallantry award in India this Independence day.

Havildar Hangpan Dada belonged to the Assam Regiment when he was serving in the valley. He killed four intruding terrorists before laying down his life at a height of 13,000 feet in the harsh Himalayan terrain of Naugam in Jammu & Kashmir.

He enrolled in the Assam Regiment of the Army in 1997 and served with the regiment at Barrackpore, Kargil, Lucknow and Multuk (Manipur). He was now posted with the 35 Rashtriya Rifles, a force carved out for counter-insurgency operations in J&K.

In the last week of May, he along with his team spotted the movement of terrorists in the area and lost no time in engaging them in a fierce encounter that went on for over 24 hours. Taking the enemy head-on, Dada killed two of them on the spot and the third one after a hand-to-hand scuffle as they slid down the hill towards the LoC. A fourth terrorist was also killed by him.

Dada was badly injured in the encounter as the terrorists who crossed over from PoK had a slight height advantage. He displayed raw courage, unflinching grit, presence of mind and with utter disregard to his personal safety and despite bleeding profusely, discharged his duties and made supreme sacrifice for the nation, saving the lives of his team members who came under heavy fire from the terrorists.

Dada was 36 years old and hailed from Boduria village of Arunachal Pradesh. He was survived by his wife Chasen Lowang, 10-year-old daughter Roukhin and 6-year-old son Senwang.

President Pranab Mukherjee approved 82 gallantry awards for armed forces personnel and members of the paramilitary forces on 15 Aug 16. These included one Ashok Chakra, 14 Shaurya Chakras, 63 Sena Medals (Gallantry), 2 Nao Sena Medals (Gallantry) and 2 Vayu Sena Medals (Gallantry).

China’s Biggest Arm Export Deal Goes to Pakistan

China is the biggest arms supplier of Pakistan and now, the relations are taking new heights. While India is expanding its tentacles to widen its military arms and weapon, on the other hand, Pakistan is getting full support from its all-weather friend, China for enhancing its capabilities and taking over India in all aspects. The relations between both the nation (Pakistan and China) are getting stronger, day by day and recent submarine deal between these nations has attracted the eyes of other neighboring countries.

China has recently come into another deal with Pakistan to acquire 8 diesel- electric attack submarines to Pakistan. As per the deal, Pakistan will acquire 8 modified submarines in a $5 billion deal by 2028. The deal is another link between Pakistan and China’s close relations. As per the sources, the submarines that have to be exported are not decided, but experts indicated the submarines could be the lighter version of Type 039 and Type 041 yuan class submarines of China. The deal is to export 4 submarines to Pakistan by 2023 and the remaining 4 will be assembled in Pakistan by 2028. Further, China is also extending long term loan to Pakistan at lower rates to cover the cost of the project.

The deal came as a boon for Pakistan after U.S. catered F-16 deal went down due to certain international concerns. Simultaneously, the financial aid given to Pakistan by U.S. also came under focus due to Pakistan harboring terror activities in its territory.

Earlier, China and Pakistan have tied deal in the area of infrastructure, solar, logistics and other fields. Chabahar deal was one of the main links between both the nations. Talking about military relations, China and Pakistan are reported to be involved in the projects of JF-17 fighter jet, K-8 training aircraft, AWACS system, Al- Khalid tanks etc. CPEC – China Pakistan economic corridor is the biggest hit project between China and Pakistan, which is expected to escalate the economic and trading facilities in Pakistan. But the Karakorum highway is the conflicting issue between India and China as it passes through the Pakistan Occupied Kashmir.

The news came after India got the allegation of leakage of crucial data in Scorpene deal with France leading to a chaos in military arena. The mews shake the Indian defense department leading to havoc in the nation.  Currently, India is also facing the problem of aging submarines and some up-gradations in naval arms. India is constantly working over the modernization of arms and weapons, engaging private companies in defense manufacturing and even brought the FDI level in defense to 100%. The process is in full swing. Apache and Chinook, M-777 Howitzer guns, KAMOV Helicopter etc. will be the new entrants in Indian armed forces in the upcoming years strengthening the military preparedness and instant responding ability of the armed forces.China Arms Sales

The Pakistan China duo is a cause of concern not only for India, but also for U.S. and other nations. Highly dedicated approach of China military infrastructure in South China Sea is also a hint of future contradiction of China with other nations. Both these neighboring nations are inclining the ways toward each other. And India should stay ready to counter any kind of action from both sides.

AgustaWestland Deal Records

Recently, a row was sparked between SP Tyagi and the Congress leaders on the AgustaWestland VVIP Chopper Scam.

Now, according to the Defence Ministry and IAF, records related to controversial VVIP chopper deal with AgustaWestland were not available with them. The IAF has claimed it does not have records related to controversial VVIP chopper deal with AgustaWestland which was later scrapped following allegations of bribery.

Under the RTI Act, an application was filed with the defence ministry seeking complete records related to the 2010 deal, including price negotiations, file notings, information on the Price Negotiation Committee meetings, initials estimates of the choppers, besides additions sought in the helicopters which increased the cost and deliberations which allowed lowering of flight ceiling.

The MoD transferred the application to the IAF on June 16 asking the latter to furnish the information. An application is transferred when the public authority does not have any or a part of information sought by the RTI applicant. Surprisingly, on May 6, the defence minister referred to several details of the deal during a Lok Sabha debate.AgustaWestland Deal Records

An application is transferred under Section 6(3) of the RTI Act when the public authority does not have any or a part of information sought by the RTI applicant. The Indian Air Force headquarters in a reply said, “The information sought vide your RTI application is not available at this HQ.”

Meanwhile, CBI, which is probing the case, had collected many records during investigation, but as per norms, copies of necessary documents were left with the concerned ministry or the department from where they had been collected.

 

ISI Spy Held in Jaisalmer With Maps of Border Areas

ISI Spy Held in Jaisalmer

An alleged Pakistani spy was arrested by the Rajasthan police from the bordering city of Jaisalmer on Thursday along with RAW and IB and items containing information on India’s defence institutions were seized from him.

He was identified as Nandlal Maharaj, aged 26 and was arrested from a hideout in a hotel of Jaisalmer helping to smuggle weapons and explosives into India.

Sources have revealed that Nandlal and his network sneaked in about 35 kilograms of RDX from India-Pakistan border along Rajasthan. The explosives were dispatched reportedly to carry out blasts at various locations across the country.

Two mobile phones with micro SD cards, which contained classified information and photographs related to India’s defence institutions and vehicles; ₹2010 INR, ₹30 PKR and a diary containing information on money received from ISI, were recovered from him.

The diary reportedly has details of financial transactions between the spy and ISI. The diary reveals key details like time and amount of transactions. Depending upon the information he gave to ISI, he received varying amounts of money, all of which have been recorded in the diary.

As per the diary, Nandlal was reportedly paid about ₹70,000 for trading the explosives. The agencies have initiated a probe to find out where all these explosives have been dispatched by the suspected spy.

Nandlal, who is a Hindu, hails from Khipro, Sanghar in Sindh of Pakistan. According to sources, Nandlal operates a textile showroom in Pakistan and earns a sum of ₹3,000 each month.

He had come to India on the Thar Express on August 5 on a valid visa. His visit to Jaisalmer was illegal as the visa issued was for Jodhpur.

He was then seen in one of the 350 villages along the Jaisalmer border that are out of bounds for foreigners; Indians also need special permission to enter the zone. Villagers told investigators that Maharaj was offering money in exchange for information on high-security areas and arrangements.

Nandlal was nabbed after a 48-hour-long search operation carried out by the three intelligence agencies. Police have said that about eight other operatives who worked closely with Nandlal have fled after they learnt about his arrest.

Pakistan has been recruiting Hindus residing in towns adjacent to the border to camouflage them as Indians. The spies reportedly communicated using satellite phones with their agents in Pakistan.

Nandlal was arrested under sections 3 and 3 (9) of Official Secret Act 1923. He was produced in court on Friday and brought to Jaipur for further interrogation.

Home Minister Gulab Chand Kataria said the arrested accuse is an ISI agent and was being tracked for a long time.

7 Key Points About ISRO’s ‘Scramjet’ Test Launch

scramjet isro

The Indian Space Research Organisation recently test fired its “scramjet” engine joining the group of a handful of countries in possession with such a technology after the US, China and Russia. This is a baby step but a major milestone in history and it aligns with the Prime Minister’s Make in India initiative, as Isro goes for more indigenisation.

 

Here are 7 points to know about this feat of ISRO:

  1. A scramjet engine is an improvement over the ramjet engine as it operates at hypersonic speeds and allows supersonic combustion, which gives it its name — supersonic combustion ramjet or scramjet. The exhaust gases are then accelerated to hypersonic speeds.
  2. Scramjet engines would make rocket launches cheaper by reducing the amount of oxidiser to be carried along with the fuel on rockets.
  3. The technology will significantly reduce the weight of a rocket as scramjet technology does not require a rocket to carry oxygen. As a result, the payload capacity of the rocket can be increased.
  4. ISRO’s Advanced Technology Vehicle (ATV), which is an advanced sounding rocket, was the solid rocket booster used for the test of Scramjet engines at supersonic conditions. ATV carrying Scramjet engines weighed 3277 kg at lift-off.
  5. The technology also has the potential to be adapted to commercial planes and it can substantially reduce the travelling time as well. Theoretically this technology can be used to reach the US in two to three hours using a space plane.
  6. ISRO’s Sunday test of the engine was for 6 seconds. In flight, however, the engine has to work for 1000 seconds.
  7. Cutting down on the need to accommodate liquid oxygen in the spacecraft will bring down the costs heavily by reducing the amount of oxidiser to be carried along with the fuel.

Eventually, the aim is to place this new rocket alongside the Re-usable Launch Vehicle (RLV) which India successfully tested a few months ago to make rocket launches more affordable. The ultimate goal is developing a single stage-to-orbit (SSTO) launch vehicle configuration, to finally make access to space a routine affair.

All You Need To Know About The Scorpene Data Leak

Scorpene Data Leakage

Top secret data of over 22,000 pages containing secret information on six highly advanced submarines being built for the Indian Navy was leaked. The Scorpene class submarines were being built in collaboration with French company DCNS. Here are all-questions-answered on the scorpene leak:

 

What does this secret data contain?

The secret data included details of the capabilities of SM39 anti-ship missile expected to be used on the Scorpene and classified information about the number of targets the missile was capable of processing.

Which are these submarines?

Security of the 6 French designed Scorpene Class submarines being built at the Mazgaon docks in Mumbai is expected to be hit. The first submarine of the class, named Kalvari (Tiger Shark) is presently being tested before acceptance by the Indian Navy. The other submarines are in various phases of construction.

How serious is this leak?

Short Answer – moderately serious if action taken immediately. The stealth capabilities of the sub stand compromised. The propulsion mechanism of the boat, which goes to the basic design of the submarine, is also out in the public domain due to the leak.

The only thing, which if leaked out from the supplier that can really compromise the operation of our submarines is the source code of the Fire Control System, which is safe as of now.

The other information leaked include frequencies at which they gather intelligence, their range, endurance, diving depths, the noise they radiate at different speeds as well as their magnetic and infra-red signatures.

Even if the frequencies of the sonar system are out in the public domain, our adversaries can easily take advantage. The DNA of any submarine is its opacity. Every boat has a specific signature. Experts have now said if details about that signature are leaked then vital security details will be out.

How seriously is this issue being taken?

Although India has said that a massive data leak from French shipbuilder DCNS of submarines designed for India’s navy did not “pose any security compromise”, India’s Navy Chief Sunil Lanba has termed the Scorpene data leak as ‘a matter of serious concern’.

The leak of these classified documents has been an enormous blow for the Indian Navy which says it is working to ensure that the leak of the data doesn’t actually affect the operations of the submarine fleet itself.

The World-Wide Impact

An Aussie publication ‘The Australian” has been temporarily banned by a court in New South Wales from releasing any more confidential data on the Indian Scorpene Class submarines.

The DCNS has also sought a court order to the newspaper to hand over the documents in its possession and removal of the contents from its website.

DCNS also filed a petition to prevent ‘The Australian” from making any more information public.

The leaks scandal has grown into a firestorm in India and France where it has been front-page news, as both governments seek to grapple with the damage it has done to India’s national security and to DCNS’s global reputation.

About Project-75:

Under Project-75, French company DCNS provides design and technology to public sector Mazagon Docks to make six Scorpene submarines, the first of which, INS Kalvari was put out for sea trials earlier this year. The hulls of the other five submarines have been cast, and they are scheduled to be commissioned by 2020.

The Aftermath:

Only six navies have successfully built ballistic missile submarines, including India. There is no need to be overly concerned as we have the capability of tweaking the design, and the weapon and sensor deployment capability to mitigate any risk from information being compromised.
