Then completed other tasks and did 14 IO, performed awesome in command task.
All the three tests finished in first two days and in the rest days we visited different places malls,parks,streets etc…

He got chance to ask a question that Devdutt tell me the one solid reason how you analyse 8.5 this 0.5 is pinching me, it should be either 8 or 9.Then somehow I convinced him the conference got over.

US F-16 Could Be ‘Made In India’

f 16 make in india
F 16 Fighter

Even as controversy has erupted on the transfer of eight F 16s to Pakistan by the US, New Delhi has been considering a proposal to manufacture the fighter jets under the ‘Make in India’ initiative.

In several recent meetings, including a high-level interaction in November last year in Washington, the aircraft have been offered for local production – both to meet Indian requirements and for exports.

The Lockheed Martin (LM) manufactured F-16 is one of the several fighters that has been proposed to be manufactured in India and is being actively pushed by Washington. But the American corporation’s executive did not commit any time-frame to have the plant operational, saying the group supports the ongoing government-to-government talks.

Currently, Lockheed Martin manufactures one jet a month from its plant in the US and has a series of contracts and joint ventures in India with over 1,000 employees. There are currently 3500-4000 F-16s in service worldwide and with these planes expected to remain in service at least until 2030 and beyond, there will be a major market for servicing these aircraft.

The offer to make the F-16 in India was for a more advanced variant of the fighter that is being sold to Pakistan and was termed as the F-16 IN Super Viper. The aircraft was in contention of the now scrapped medium multirole combat aircraft contract for the Indian air force but was disqualified on technical grounds.

f 16 make in india
F 16 Fighter

The company has supplied six C130J Super Hercules planes to India in 2011 and will be delivering another six helicopters next year.

Lockheed Martin’s wish to manufacture F-16 is based on the strong demand from the Indian armed forces and would want to lower the cost of the planes for exports by using the low-cost capability in India.

While this approach may slow India’s progress in building up its force posture in the manner envisioned by the MMRCA tender, under which another 90 advanced fighters are required, it might make more sense from a cost perspective in that India could save money for a theoretical future purchase of the F-35 instead, a fifth generation fighter.

Besides the F/A 18 Super Hornet and the F 16IN Super Viper, the Indian government is considering at least two more proposals to make fighter jets in India. One offer on the table is from Sweden’s SAAB to transfer the Gripen fighter line to India. Another is a proposal by Airbus to create a ‘Eurofighter City’ in India that would produce its Eurofighter jet and generate thousands of jobs.

Certainly, Lockheed Martin would want to exploit the engineering skill and low cost capabilities in India and make F-16 very competitive in the fighter jet markets. India could now become the top maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) hub for the 3,500-plus F-16s in service worldwide – including those in Pakistan!

So, good to make them in India and sell them to Pak, insert a spy chip in them which make them useless if Pak F-16s enter Indian airspace again. And if they somehow do so, blow it in pieces using the chip XD. What do you say?

Story Of A Farmer’s Son, Left IIT To Join Indian Army, Won Sword Of Honour

IMA sword of honour
IMA Cadets

“When in school, essays titled ‘The Best Day in My Life’ was among my favourites. I would write about different days, but today, I really want to pen down December 12, 2009, as the best day of my life,” says Ravi Shukla, son of a farmer from a small village in Lakhimpur Kheri, who received the coveted Sword of Honour and the President’s Medal for the Best Cadet at the Indian Military Academy’s (IMA) passing out parade last week.

From among 535 gentleman cadets, 22-year-old Lieutenant Ravi was chosen to receive the top honours on December 12.

“I knew that I was among the top three cadets, but the President’s Gold Medal and the Sword of Honour were indeed something that gave me a happy surprise,” said Ravi, while speaking to The Indian Express over telephone.

Commissioned in the 6 Kumaon Regiment, Ravi is not just the first in his family to join the Indian Army, but also the first from the Baraula village.

For the 1,800-odd villagers here, Ravi is a hero. Pramod Kumar Sharma, a neighbour whom Ravi calls his guide and who helped him prepare for the competition, said: “We have never had anyone from the village make it to the Indian Army in the past, leave alone winning the top honours. Ravi has not just made his family proud, but also his entire village.”

Having nursed the dream of being in the Indian Army since schooldays, Ravi made all efforts to join the UP Sainik School at Kanpur after passing Class VIII from St Don Bosco School in Lakhimpur district on the India-Nepal border.

“Even when he did not make it to the Sainik School, he kept alive the dream of joining the Army. It is his hard work, blessings of the entire village and destiny which helped him make it to the IMA and win the honours,” said Badshah Shukla, the proud father who owns 13 acres of land in the village.

In addition to Badshah, Ravi’s family comprises Devki (mother), sisters Sadhna and Prarthana and brother Pradeep, all elder to him.

Incidentally, Ravi could not make it to the Academy in his first attempt even when he had passed the exam. “When the call came, he was busy with his intermediate exams. The second time too, he passed the competition but when the call came, the date clashed with his sister Sadhna’s wedding. He requested for more time. A few days later, another call letter came and we sent him to the Academy,” said his father.

Also having aced the IIT-JEE, Ravi was in two minds about joining the NDA. “Both letters came almost simultaneously. Perhaps the dream of being a soldier was much stronger and finally, it was the Indian Army where I found my calling,” says Ravi.

Last Convo Of A Russian Soldier Asking Airstrike On Himself Will Give You Goosebumps

0
Last convo of Alexander Prokhorenko

A Russian soldier, Alexander Prokhorenko is supposed to have called for an airstrike on himself in Syria to kill ISIS operatives after touching and inspirational last words about love for country and family.

He was ordered to move to safety by his commander before the air strike but he told his commander he couldn’t escape the area, before adding: “Conduct the airstrike now, please hurry.”

His wife Ekaterina, who married her 18 months ago, had allegedly ‘no idea’ that her husband was serving in Syria fighting the ISIS. His wife was pregnant and they were expecting their first child when the brave officer ordered an airstrike on himself to blow the enemies along with him.

This was the reportedly the last conversation between Alexander Prokhorenko and his commander after he ran out of ammo:

Prokhorenko: They are outside, conduct the airstrike now please hurry, this is the end, tell my family I love them and I died fighting for my motherland.

Command: Negative, return to the green line.

Prokhorenko: Unable command, I am surrounded, they are outside, I don’t want them to take me and parade me, conduct the airstrike, they will make a mockery of me and this uniform. I want to die with dignity and take all these bastards with me. Please my last wish, conduct the airstrike, they will kill me either way.Last convo of Alexander Prokhorenko

Command: Please confirm your request.

Prokhorenko: They are outside, this is the end commander, thank you, tell my family and my country I love them. Tell them I was brave and I fought until I could no longer. Please take care of my family, avenge my death, good bye commander. Tell my family I love them!

Command: [No response, orders the airstrike]

The soldier died heroically calling for airstrike on himself, after finding that terrorists had surrounded him. The parents and wife of Alexander Prokhorenko were notified about his sacrifice and the entire Russian village of Gorodki mourned with loved ones, friends, classmates and co-workers of the Russian officer.

May his soul rest in peace. He gave inspiration to the generations of soldier to come by.

5 Life Lessons Military Brats Learn Early In Life

5 Life Lessons Military Brats Learn Early In Life

Being a military kid is different. We military brats live in a diverse subculture where we experience the military life as well as the civilian life which involves going on road trips, shifting and moving from place to place, meeting new people, adapting to the new surroundings, interacting with people from all age groups and so much more.
The military life shapes the entire personality and the life of military brats. Being born and brought up in the military one is for sure, you won’t be the ordinary child, your life experiences will be different than your civil counterparts, your family dynamics will be different, your definition of normal will be different, your perspective in life will be different, pretty much everything about you will be different.

While there are these differences in lifestyle, there are also certain values and lessons that military brats learn way too early in life. Lessons, which help us understand life better and make us the way we are.

  1. Nothing substitutes hard work.
    Be it keeping our rooms organized, helping the parents with the home chores or doing the school projects and assignments in time, if there’s one thing military brats learn quite early in their childhood then it’s the value of hard work. We understand that though we may not be getting much fruitful results for our dedication and hard work now, we will someday. While many others struggle to keep up with the stress and chaos in their adult life, military kids are so accustomed to systematic work that no task seems too big or chaotic. Dedication does pay off. Sooner or later.
  2. No task/work is too small or below you.
    The sense of humility comes early in military kids. The military parents always nudge and encourage their children to do their work on their own. The feeling of being independent and to be able to do any task with the thought that it’ll help you learn and grow and it’s good for your development is common to every military brat. Each task is done to empower oneself and no task is adjudged to be something that we ought not to do.
  3. History is important.
    Us military kids get to go places along with our parents to different stations on postings and we get to visit different areas and cities and learn new things. With a rich history and culture like ours, one can’t help but be proud and if you happen to be a military brat then it’s all the more reason for you to be familiar with possibly all the places in the country and know the achievements of the Armed Forces and the history of our country.
  4. Diversity is enriching.
    With moving from place to place every two- three years, there’s not just a change in the city/state but also the food, the sports, the culture and getting to see and know all these differences from an early age is something that really makes the military brats able to see thing from a different, (holistic rather) viewpoint. Different ideologies and different viewpoints enable the military kids to see things in a manner which is quite different from others. The interaction with people from different backgrounds enriches the overall personality of military brats.
  5. Importance of relationships.
    With their father/ mother being posted somewhere and they themselves living elsewhere, and changing schools every two- three years and becoming the new kid everywhere they go, it’s possible that a child may end up having adjustment problems. However, the military brats look at this as a challenging to overcome and in time they realise that relationships are invaluable. Making friends in every station that they go to and remaining friends after several years, ability to start a small talk with anyone and to be in a long distance relationship are all examples of how the military brats can manage their relationships well from an early age.
