What is No Fly Zone and What Happens in a No-fly Zone?

No Fly Zone

A no-fly zone is an area where certain aircraft cannot fly for any number of reasons. In the context of a conflict such as the one in Ukraine, it would probably mean a zone in which Russian planes were not allowed to fly, to prevent them from carrying out airstrikes against Ukraine.

NATO has imposed no-fly zones in non-member countries before, including Bosnia and Libya. However, it is always a controversial move because it means getting semi-involved in a conflict without fully committing ground forces.

What is No-Fly Zone?

A no-fly zone, also known as a no-flight zone (NFZ) or an air exclusion zone (AEZ), is a territory or area over which some aircraft are not permitted to fly. During a fight, similar to a demilitarised aerial zone, such zones are frequently constructed in an enemy power’s territory to restrict the opponent’s military aircraft from operating in the region. 

Depending on the requirements of the NFZ, the enforcing state may take military action, which may include pre-emptive attacks to avoid possible violations, reactive measures targeted at violating aircraft, or surveillance with no use of force.

Air exclusion zones and anti-aircraft defences are sometimes built in civilian contexts, for example, to safeguard important areas or events, such as the 2012 London Olympic Games, against terrorist air attacks.

No-fly zones are a relatively recent phenomenon that first appeared in the 1990s. They are distinct from ordinary air power missions in that they rely only on coercion to occupy another country’s airspace to achieve objectives on the ground within the target country.

The Royal Air Force (RAF) pioneered air control operations over various difficult colonies between World Wars I and II, but no-fly zones did not take on their current form until the Gulf War ended in 1991.

During the Cold War, military intervention as an instrument of US statecraft was unpopular due to the risk of local conflict escalating into a nuclear catastrophe. Furthermore, air power remained a blunt instrument until the operational development of stealth and precision-strike technologies. Before the 1991 Gulf War, subtle assaults on fleeting, hard-to-reach targets were unfeasible, and air power could not inflict large political impacts short of total war.

No-fly zones became more conceivable in both political and military scenarios after the demise of the Soviet Union and advances in aeronautical technology.

Let us understand the history of usage of no-fly zones to have a better understanding of this concept. 

History of no-fly zones

Iraq, 1991–2003

Following the Gulf War in 1991, the United States and other members of the Coalition established two no-fly zones in Iraq. According to US and Coalition officials, the northern no-fly zone was established to prevent attacks on Kurdish people by Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi regime, while the southern no-fly zone was established to protect Iraq’s Shia population.

The Iraqi Air Force used chemical weapons against Kurdish civilians during the Halabja chemical strike on March 16, 1988, killing roughly 5,000 people. The Coalition Forces used this air-to-ground incident to justify the extension and enlargement of the NFZs, citing Chapter 42 of the United Nations Charter. The southern no-fly zone used to extend all the way down to the 32nd parallel.

Bosnia and Herzegovina, 1993–1995

In 1992, the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 781, prohibiting unauthorised military flights over Bosnian airspace. As a result, NATO launched Operation Sky Monitor, which monitored no-fly zone violators while taking no action against those who disregarded the decision.

In 1993, in response to 500 documented violations, including one combat violation, the UN Security Council passed Resolution 816, which made all unauthorised flights illegal and allowed all UN member nations to “take all necessary measures…to ensure compliance with [the no-fly zone laws].”

Libya, 2011

As part of the 2011 military intervention in Libya, the United Nations Security Council approved a no-fly zone on March 17, 2011. The resolution also includes further measures to prevent attacks on civilian targets. On March 24, NATO agreed to take control of the no-fly zone.

Following it, a number of NATO members started an air assault against various Libyan government targets. Some NATO partners did not participate in the air campaign or only did so in a limited way, forcing US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates to publicly chastise them. The NATO no-fly zone was lifted on October 27 when the UN Security Council passed a unanimous vote.

Libya, 2018 and 2019

During the Libyan National Army’s (LNA) advance in the region in 2018, the LNA announced a no-fly zone over the country’s south. It was later re-implemented for ten days in 2019 as the LNA took control of the region’s oil fields. During the 2019 Western Libya offensive, the LNA proclaimed yet another no-fly zone in the country’s west.

Discussion on a no-fly zone in Ukraine, 2022

Soon after the Russian invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, the Ukrainian government pressed NATO to impose a no-fly zone over Ukraine, but the alliance rejected, citing the risk of further escalation and direct military confrontation with Russia.

There were also reservations about the zone’s usefulness in protecting Ukrainian settlements, which have been subjected to indiscriminate strikes by Russian artillery and other largely ground-based soldiers. On March 18, the separatist administration of the Donetsk People’s Republic, which is backed by Russia, announced that Russia will establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine’s Donbas region.

Can I speak Hindi in the SSB Interview?

Most of the candidates are confused in thinking about whether to use English or Hindi in SSB interviews. This article will clear all your doubts regarding this confusion. First of all, we should know what is SSB all about.

spot_img

What is SSB?

Services Selection Board (SSB) is an organization that assesses the candidates for becoming officers into the Indian Armed Forces. The board has a holistic approach of evaluating the suitability of the candidate for becoming an officer using a standardized protocol of evaluation system which constitutes personality, intelligence tests, and interviews.

Through SSB intelligence and personality of a candidate is figured out.

Now if we see, personality does not really means that a person should know English to communicate.

Personality is about individual differences in characteristic patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving.

Recommendation of a candidate in SSB solely depends on the OLQ’s. If the candidate possesses all the 15 OLQ’s then he/she will be surely seleted.

Is English Important?

English is a universal language. It is used to communicate with persons from different regions and places. Now suppose a candidate is coming from down south, he might know fluent English but will he be able to communicate in Hindi?

Similarly a candidate from North East or any other region, they are not used to speak Hindi but their native language. Now if such candidates appear at the SSB, they will be solely using English to communicate and won’t be able to understand Hindi if a candidate is using Hindi as his medium.

Secondly, English creates an impression. Many of the candidates come from rural background and most of them are not familiar with English, now if that candidate speaks a normal English, this will be a plus point as he has did his hardwork which the assessor will surely know about.

Candidates should deny the fact that English is important for SSB. It is a preferred medium to communicate in the SSB. We all know, English of a candidate will be improved in the academy training itself.

Few tips to improve English for SSB.

With Reading

  • Start reading the newspaper or some novels to develop interest.
  • Whenever find a new word, underline, note, and learn where to use it.
  • Use those words in writing or while speaking. Invest at least 30 min. Everyday.

With Writing

  • Start writing in the English language as writing helps to recall it in the future. This will also improve your handwriting which will be a plus point.
  • Writing down ideas helps in finding grammatical errors.
  • If you see any topic, try to write your own views with respect to that topic in English, this will not only increase your control over English but also your thinking capability.

With Listening

  • Listening will help us to improve pronunciation.
  • Speaking with proper phonetics creates a good impression on the listener.
  • Listening also teaches proper usage of words.
  • Listen to great speakers, watch English documentaries, English songs, movies, etc.
  • Watch movies with their subtitles on, and note down any new word coming, and later find out its meaning.

With Speaking

  • Lastly comes Speaking. It is the combination of all the above three points. Whatever we read, write or listen, all of these is a reflection of what we speak. If we speak English on daily basis, we will easily get comfortable on communicating with it.
  • Speaking is the combined result of all the above efforts.
  • Speaking skills can be improved by narrating a topic, PPDT story, or lecture topics.
  • Develop a group of friends with whom you can talk in English only.
  • Don’t bother about people who mock you for speaking wrong English, rather improve your skills every day.

Got Screened-In In 7th Attempt and Recommended In 9th Attempt

Hello, future lady and gentleman cadets I hope you all are doing great in your lives. Today I’m going to share my success story and the journey of my SSB which changed my life completely. I’m from a small village in the Nalanda district of Bihar.

spot_img

I did my schooling from CBSE board school and switched to BSEB board for Intermediate. The biggest obstacle I faced was in pursuing my education. I was good academically but on personality parts like communication skills and other OLQs I was way behind. I didn’t have the right guidance so I took admission in college near my village where classes didn’t happen, so again I missed the exposure of college life by which I could’ve polished my personality. On the SSB part, which I started appearing for in 2018, I was continuously getting screened out for 6 times(all 4 NDA SSBs & 2 Navy B.Tech SSBs). 

Who are the Toppers of CDS SSB Interview and CDS Written Exams

So, talking about SSB results, so, I had only 6 S/o to say. I was disappointed a lot. Even my family members had clearly stated to change my career option after this. But my heart used to say that if I continue to keep working on myself for SSB then no matter whether I earn a recommendation or not but I’ll become a wonderful person and will achieve something better in my life if not Armed Forces. Also, the Army had become a very strong dream of mine by now. So, I convinced my parents and family members about my dream to join The Indian Army and finally convinced them successfully. By this time, I had decided that I’ll try premier universities for pursuing my master’s so that I can correct my past blunder. Also while living in the village itself I started socializing more and more, also I started polishing my qualities by thinking, changing, and analyzing my actions. So, by now I had understood that working on yourself is way more important than working on tests of SSB.

spot_img

In July 2021, I appeared for CDS-OTA interview at 11-SSB and this was the time I got screened in for 1st time, finally in my 7th attempt. I got screened in because really I felt that I had improved myself. I got conferenced out but the hope and confidence I needed, I had got that. Then again in Nov 2021 I appeared at 31-SSB, Kapurthala for CDS-IMA entry, I performed really well after taking guidance from my elder brothers whom I met in course of my preparation that year, but again I was conferenced out.

By this time I had realised that I have come very closer. I kept working on myself, meanwhile, I passed the JNU entrance exam for MA in Modern History and started studying there. Again in March 2022 I appeared for an interview at 19-SSB, Allahabad. I had only a few things in my mind- A) No matter whatever anyone thinks of me, I’ve got to give my best. B) No matter what happened in past, I’ve got to give my undivided focus on what is just before me. I went with that attitude and kept myself active, involved, and put myself as per my personality I had been working upon and finally got recommended on 1st April in my 9th attempt for IMA-153. The stories from SSBCrack also played a very important role in helping me reach my goal.

My struggles to join the academy didn’t last here. I got 4 TRs in medicals out of which I was able to clear 3 in AMB but for 1 issue(Exotropia) I got rejected again. I was shattered but had hope in my heart that RMB is there. I started again, started doing eye exercises for 8 hrs. a day, withstood hectic and tiring days and finally with my unwavering hope and efforts, my family members’ and friends’ support, I got declared fit in RMB and now going to join IMA. I just want to say to you all that focus most on improving your life, it matters more than SSB tests. If you are trying hard enough to chase your dreams then nobody is going to stop you. I hope this story will help to motivate you and want you to not give up on your dreams. All the best future officers.

Hemanth Swamy has cleared the NDA 2 2021 SSB interview with flying colors and now looking forward to joining the prestigious National Defence Academy. He scored 399 marks in his written exam and 382 marks in his NDA SSB interview from 3 AFSB Gandhinagar. In an interview with SSBCrackExams, he shared his experiences during the preparation and also shared valuable tips for the NDA Aspirants.

SSB Interview Experience Of Hemanth Swamy

Hello everyone this is me Hemant Swamy the reason you are reading this today is because I recently got recommended for NDA 148 from 3 AFSB Gandhinagar. So the catch with my case is I have cleared all the stages of NDA in my first attempt 12th appearing, which is written in November, SSB in February, CPSS, and flying medical in March.

nda 3 afsb gandhinagar 1

When I was in 11th I was crystal clear is that I am only up for NDA as that was my interest and my dream to be a pilot in IAF. So now the goal was set now the question was how to get started, at that time I was in 11th and I preferred not to give 11th appearing NDA written attempt as it made no sense to me. Later the same year when I just entered 12th I was fully set but the issue was I was not sure whether could I complete the maths portion before the exam.

oir test book ad

And then I got the great news that the exams had been postponed from Sep to Nov and also there was lockdown-2. At its peak, this was a golden opportunity that I considered, and there came SSBCrackExam to my rescue. I took their NDA written exam plan and for one month straight, I just dived into their content and surprisingly I was able to complete the maths portion of maths in a single freaking month.

Then approached the exam I had at my center in Bangalore I went there and witnessed the maths portion was a standard one but I didn’t give up I gave it and I was able to make it. Later I prepared for SSB Interview on my own and was able to make it on my first attempt.

spot_img

This was I was able to successfully able to make my dream come true and I would like to say each and every aspirant out there to believe in themselves and yes hard work is the key.

I hope everyone succeeds in their plans and all the BEST!!!

Tips To Write Genuine Self Description For SSB Interview

By
Pallavi Singh
-
0
self description ssb interview

Self-description test (SDT) is a stage-II test of the SSB interviews. As the name itself suggests, Self Description Test (SDT) is describing what is “I” i.e., self and everything related to self like what kind of a person you are; what you would like to become; what do your parents, friends, teachers think about you.

spot_img

Therefore, Self Description Test (SDT) entails asking the candidate to write down, as to what, in his/her opinion the following people think about him/her:

  • Your parents
  • Your teachers/employers
  • Your friends/colleagues
  • You, yourself
    The candidate is required to write down his/her own opinion about what the people mentioned in all the above categories think about him/her and what sort of a person he/she would want to become in life. Both, the positive traits of a candidate’s personality and the areas that he/she feels needs to be improved are required to be elucidated in four to five lines for each set.

Salient particulars to be borne in mind while writing a genuine Self Description (SD)

  1. Do not write more than five lines for each set, i.e. while writing the opinion’s of your parents/guardians, teachers/employer, friends/colleagues, and your personal view about yourself be exact and precise.
  2. Never copy someone else’s self-description, be honest and take feedback from all the above set of people to write an authentic self-description.
  3. The self-description must constitute some high and positive points of your personality and one odd perceived area of improvement in each set.
  4. Do not write OLQs or qualities while describing the opinion. Do not label yourself with good adjectives instead make them reflect through your actions and deeds.
  5. While writing about an identified area of improvement in each set, make sure not to use very intimidating words to describe it and also see to it that such shortcoming is not something which is very severe and irreparable.
  6. In case during the interview, the IO asks you about your weaknesses, you should also be ready with some examples from your life.
  7. Lastly, SD is very exclusive to your personality, and hence must be written in your own words and honestly, keeping the above fundamentals in mind.
spot_img

Examples of Good and Bad Self-description:

  1. NEVER WRITE,  “My parents feel I am very hard working, trustworthy and obedient son/daughter”. Rather write about how they identify and appreciate you as hardworking, reliable and obedient. So, WRITE “My parents always include me in all important decisions to be taken at home (shows trustworthy). They always entrust me with difficult tasks and challenges concerning our family matters and issues pertaining to others amongst our kith and kin as they feel I have the ability to handle them well and would never let them down (shows hard working, resilient and obedient person).”
  2. NEVER WRITE, “My friends tell me that I am too choosy while making friends and also that I get aggressive and rude at times”. Don’t overshadow your personality with any kind of negative talk that is either stimulated by self or triggered through peer pressure. So, WRITE, “My friends feel that I take a little bit of time to open up (choosy to make friends), but once I do, I am a highly friendly person and also that I get a bit impatient at times when things do not go my way (aggressive), however, I have started making a conscious effort to remain more composed and accept things as they come.”
  3. NEVER WRITE, “I am stupid, foolish or worthless”. Do not label yourself with negative personality traits. Instead, WRITE “Sometimes I do things that aren’t smart but am gradually revived with an optimistic self-talk .”
  4. NEVER WRITE, “I feel there is no scope of improvement in me, it is complicated and there is no way anything will work for me.” Don’t have self-doubt or keep the negative attitude. Eliminate the theory of negative self-concept. WRITE, “I will give it another try unless I succeed in my endeavours, I’ll tackle it from a different angle and try to make it work in all possible ways.”
  5. NEVER WRITE, “I am too lazy to get a work done.” It is strongly suggested not to mention yourself as lazy because Armed Forces are all about action, toughness and vigour. So, WRITE, “Earlier I wasn’t able to fit work (any particular job or task) into my schedule but can re-examine some priorities and willingly grab the opportunity to learn something new.”
oir test book ad

Another important note to be taken is the words we use with ourselves, both aloud and in our mind begin to define the reality that we live. When we describe ourselves as undisciplined, lazy or worthless, we begin to reflect those patterns in our everyday life. On the contrary, when we change the words we use to describe ourselves (both internally and externally) focusing on positive attributes, we begin to display those positive behaviours more frequently. Therefore, it is advisable to change our self-talk. Negative thoughts and attitudes have been shaping our minds for quite some time, at a young age, so subtle we barely recognise them. Simply knowing that pessimistic impressions are damaging in nature, is not enough. We need to consciously replace them with positive self-talk.

TAT ebook part 1 ssbcrack 324x324 1

When you think positive about yourself, you inculcate positive attributes in yourself and the response you give in self-description test, in the form of thoughts, feelings and actions against the constraint of time, you will not be able to fabricate your responses and hence, your true self will get truly revealed. It is advisable to all aspirants to always do a ‘timed practice’ and be ‘true’ to yourself while carrying out preparation for self-description test.  Also, it would be great if you discussed your responses with a professional mentor, who can advise you to modify your natural thinking.

Here, we would also like to caution you that non-mentored self-practice or improper guidance from an unprofessional person may invariably harm your psyche, as the mindsets once formed are very difficult to change.

The Rafale is a highly sophisticated fighter jet boasting lightweight-yet-strong composite materials, with Fly-By-Wire (FBW) controlling and the provision of voice input capabilities. It also features an Active Electronically-Scanned Array (AESA) radar system in its nose and a Canard delta-wing planform has been incorporated to complement its extremely high tolerances and ability to display a multitude of hardpoints for homing, guided and dropping ordnance.
The pilot (with co-pilot in some variants) is seated under a large canopy offering the superior field of vision out-of-the-cockpit. Being a twin-engine jet, providing an excellent balance of power and survivability! all in all the rafale is a mean battle tested bird that will bolster our aerial arsenal once in service!

Order of attack and heavy-lift helicopters:

I appeared in NDA 147 course written exam in April 2021 and I failed that. Also got a conference out from 21 ssb Bhopal for TES 45. Back-to-back failures made me feel sad, but there was the belief that I had from my childhood that we are Rajput we don’t give up, so I continued my preparation for the next NDA written exam, this time I took SSBCrackExams 3 months course for UPSC NDA written examination. I used this platform to clear the concept and learn the formulas of maths that are not in NCERT. Took all the classes of English helped me to score 155 out of 200 in English.

This time my main focus is on personality development, I participated in inter-college debates, and a journalism program, started workout at the gym, being more organised and productive in daily life.

Done introspection to find out my strengths and weaknesses. Also wrote a book and published it on Kindle Direct Publishing, started conducting and participating in group discussions, PPDT and
Lecturette with other students who are preparing for SSB. Also developed my knowledge of global politics from youtube and newspapers.
