Lt Gen Bipin Rawat took over as the new Vice Chief of the Indian Army. He succeeded Lt Gen MMS Rai who retired on 1st September.
Here’s what to know about Lt Gen Bipin Rawat, VCOAS:
When India is facing numerous cross-border attacks like the recent Uri attacks, the Army soldiers are still operating in combat zones with sub-standard assault rifles. The Army has for long been looking to replace its ageing rifles with a worthy successor, only to be uncomfortable for the end-users. To overcome this issue, the Indian Army has set up its own Army Design Bureau (ADB) to indigenous procurements and reduce import dependence.
Here are the points that you need to know about Army Design Bureau:
At least 20 terrorists have been neutralised in a daring cross-LoC operation by the Indian Army in response to the Uri attack.
Two units of the elite 2 Paras comprising 18-20 soldiers flew across the LoC in the Uri sector in military helicopters and reportedly carried out an operation that killed at least 20 suspected terrorists across three terror camps in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Total casualties, including those injured by terrorists, could be as high as 200, sources said.
Military sources revealed to The Quint, which confirmed this information from two other independent sources, that the operation happened during the intervening hours of 20 September and 21 September.
Indications that the Indian Special Forces struck across LoC came in the form of Pakistan declaring a no-fly zone over PoK on 20 September night.
Pakistan’s national flag carrier Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) had cancelled flights to northern Pakistani cities, including to Gilgit and Skardu in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, due to “air space restrictions”.
PIA called off flights to Gilgit and Skardu in Gilgit-Baltistan region in Pakistan- occupied-Kashmir (PoK) and Chitral in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
PIA spokesperson Danyal Gilani had tweeted this information late Tuesday evening.

Many developing nations, including India are heading to strengthen their military, in order to equalize the power share in their territory and nuclear technology seems to the latest mean to rank the power of any nation. But North Korea is emerging as the threat to the peace of the planet. The constant nuclear tests that it is conducting these days, is a matter of concern. It has done many tests in defense arena, ranging from ballistic missiles to nuclear tests. North Korea went out of the non-proliferation treaty in 2003 and is known for the tough civil rules and strict regulations.
Talking about the current scenario, North Korea has recently held a nuclear test and it is termed as the biggest nuclear test in its history. The test led to the generation of artificial earthquake around the site of nuclear test. Later North Korea revealed the success of nuclear test, claiming that it is an achievement for the nation and a step toward nuclear mounted missiles. As per the sources of South Korea, the test was done using about 10 tons of nuclear material (Hiroshima bombing had 15 kilotons of nuclear material). Further, the sources informed that the level of earthquake has been increasing with the each consecutive test. This recent earthquake was of 5.3 magnitude.
Why the test was conducted?
The small nation had got many sanctions from the U.S. and is aiming to bolster its Armour against it. Earlier, the H-bomb test by North Korea led to its criticism and U.S imposed several sections over it. North Korea sees U.S as the main target after South Korea was seen inclined toward U.S. after military exercise between both the nations along with growing close links.
All super powers and other nations, with strong militaries are criticizing the test as it violates the denuclearization and hints at more violent acts in the field of international conflicts and this test will ignite more sanctions over North Korea limiting its resources and relations with other nations. Earlier, the sections were imposed to cut the supply of aviation fuel, rocket fuel and some arms to North Korea.
North Korea has been in the field of nuclear test from a decade. Some of the crucial tests in the same sequence are mentioned below.
The pace of tests and trails of arms by North Korea seems to be the move to show its power. China is the closest friend of North Korea and all are waiting for its response over this nuclear test. The previous allegations of triple missile test also became a hot topic of discussions. Last month, North Korea tested submarine based ballistic missile and a ballistic missile to bring up its military gears. Moreover, further such tests are expected from the same side. North Korea is making an imbalance in the territory and sparking disputes in the nuclear era, where nuclear power is needed to be handled judiciously and smartly in the favour of mankind.

India has been in close defence cooperation in recent times, from acquiring arms to the latest LEMOA, India is eyeing US as a major military ally in the east. Following this, the Indo-US armies are participating in an annual joint military training exercise, ‘Yudh Abhyas 2016’.
The joint venture is a great step for the armies of the two democratic countries to train together and gain together from each other’s rich operational experiences. The latest exercise will help further build interoperability between the forces of both the nations, the statement added.
Just after when India started its exercise ‘Yudh Abhyas-2016’ with the US army, India, continuing its policy of stepping up a defence and economic ties with energy-rich Central Asian Republics, is now holding a joint combat exercise, Prabal Dostyk with Kazakhstan to boost military interoperability.
Exercise ‘Prabal Dostyk’ will be a significant step towards fostering military as well as diplomatic ties between both countries.
On 12th of September, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh commissioned well-equipped offshore patrolling (OPV) vessel, `ICGS Sarathi` at Goa Shipyard Ltd (GSL). GSL is a Goa-based defence shipyard at Vasco in south Goa.
The commissioning ceremony also saw the attendance of Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, Vice Admiral Rajendra Singh (Director General of Indian Coast Guard ), Shekhar Mittal (Chairman and Managing Director of GSL), Atul Joshi (commanding officer of OPV Sarathi) among others.
