A Kalashnikov (Калашников) rifle is any one of a series of automatic rifles based on the original design of Mikhail Kalashnikov. They are officially known in Russian as “Avtomát Kaláshnikova” . the AK-203 and AK-47 are different models with different specifications.

To better understand the difference between both the rifles, Let us first understand the specification of both the rifles in brief!

spot_img

AK-203 

The AK-203 is a Russian gas-operated, magazine-fed, select-fire assault rifle with a 7.62mm ammunition chamber. It is one of the most recent models of Mikhail Kalashnikov’s AK family of assault rifles. The Kalashnikov Concern in Russia created the AK-203 in the 2010s. Before being renamed to AK-203 in 2019, the weapon was known as the AK-103M. 

AK 203

It is considered to be the latest and most advanced version of the AK-47 rifle. According to experts, the Russian rifle is reliable, durable and easy to maintain. It also has better ergonomics, accuracy and density of fire.

The prototype development of the AK-203 rifle’s predecessor, the AK-200 series, began in 2007. In 2010, the first prototype of the AK-200 was built and tested. The AK-200 was updated and dubbed AK-103-3 for the Ratnik programme in 2013.

In 2016, the AK-200 series project was restarted, with the KM-AK kit produced as part of the Obves programme being used to enhance the AK-103-3 assault rifle prototype. The modified assault rifle prototype was first known as the AK-300, then the AK-100M, and eventually the AK-203 in 2019.

The Indian Army is procuring 670,000 AK-203 assault rifles to replace the INSAS, through a contract with Russia.

The first 70,000 rifles were purchased from Russia and delivered in January 2022. The remaining 600,000 rifles will be manufactured in Amethi, India under a transfer of technology agreement, by joint venture company Indo-Russia Rifles Private Limited (IRRPL).

AK-47 

The AK-47, officially known as the Avtomat Kalashnikova is a gas-operated assault rifle that is chambered for the 7.62×39mm cartridge. It was developed in the Soviet Union by Russian small-arms designer Mikhail Kalashnikov.

It is the originating firearm of the Kalashnikov (“AK”) family of rifles.till now, the AK-47 model and its variant rifles remain the most popular and widely used rifles in the world.

AK 47

The number “47” denotes the year when the rifle was finished. 

The AK-47 was first designed in 1945. The fixed-stock variant was placed into active service for selected units of the Soviet Army in 1948, after it was presented for official military trials in 1947. The AK was officially approved by the Soviet Armed Forces in early 1949, and the majority of Warsaw Pact member states used it.

 The AK 47 model has gained huge popularity among the world because of many reasons. Some of these reasons are as follows  :- 

  • Reliability under harsh conditions
  • Low production cost
  • Availability in virtually every geographic region
  • Ease of use

The AK-47 has been produced in a number of countries and has been used by armed forces, as well as irregular forces and insurgents, all over the world. “Of the estimated 500 million rifles globally, about 100 million belong to the Kalashnikov family, with three-quarters of them being AK-47s,” according to statistics from 2004.

The model serves as the basis for the development of many other types of individual, crew-served and specialised firearms.

To curb the sale of new Army pattern combat dress/uniforms to unauthorised persons, the Delhi Police in coordination with the Military Police conducted a special awareness campaign.

spot_img

The drive to sensitise shopkeepers was conducted in the Delhi Cantonment area. The Indian Army showcased the pattern and design of the new combat uniform introduced for its soldiers on the occasion of Army Day 2022 on January 15, 2022.

Soldiers of the Indian Army will now be provided with the best quality, all-terrain, lighter, stronger and operational digital camouflage pattern combat uniform, which also caters for gender-specific changes for women combatants.

There are two major issues which the Indian Army has flagged with respect to the introduction of a new combat uniform – security and the wearing of unauthorised pattern combat dress by serving personnel, the official statement said.

The uniform is unique in its creation as it has an exclusive digital camouflage pattern, contemporary and functional design and a lighter yet stronger and more breathable fabric. Because of this, the Army wants to adopt control measures to maintain its exclusivity.

All About International North South Transport Corridor (INSTC)

By

The International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC) is a multi modal transportation established in 2000 for the purpose of promoting transportation cooperation among the Member States. This corridor connects the Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf to the Caspian Sea via Iran, Islamic Rep., and is then connected to Saint Petersburg and North European via Russia. We are going to cover this important current affairs topic which can be asked in SSB interviews and other defense exams.

spot_img

India, Iran To Activate New Shorter Corridor To Russia

  • A series of high-level talks in order to activate a shorter and sanctions-proof route between Russia and India is recently held. Almost a dozen countries in Central Asia and the Caucasus will also benefit from the route.
  • India has requested for the Chabahar Port to be brought under the INSTC ambit. Touching on the importance of the INSTC last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin recently said Moscow would pay more attention to it as it could help make the Caspian basin the hub of energy and logistics.
  • Last month, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir- Abdollahian visited India. It held talks on regional connectivity which entailed reviewing the progress made at the Shahid Beheshti terminal, Chabahar that will provide sea access to landlocked Afghanistan and emerge as a commercial transit hub for the region, including Central Asia.

Russia Launches Trade With India Via Eastern Branch Of INSTC

  • Russian logistics firm RZD Logistics has stated that it has commenced transportation by full container trains from Russia to India by the eastern branch of the International North-South Transport Corridor involving transport infrastructure of Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Iran and India.
  • INSTC is a multimodal transportation network of sea, road, and rail routes between Russia and India, two countries that notched up bilateral trade of up to $13 billion (about 1 lakh crore rupees) at the end of 2021.
  • Dozen-odd central Asian countries like Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia, besides southern Russia, too, will benefit from trade through INSTC.
spot_img

Avoiding Key Trade Stumbling Blocks

  • Dry runs have shown transit time falling by up to 25 days from the earlier 40-45 on this route, bringing down carriage costs by 30%. INSTC is also sanctions-free since it is an alternative to the Suez Canal and is not dominated by Western countries.
  • Besides, India’s relations with Iran are crucial given its dependence on Iranian crude oil, despite the US sanctions leaving things in disarray. Even geographically, Iran holds importance as it provides an alternate route to Afghanistan and central Asia, avoiding Pakistan.

What Is International North-South Transport Corridor?

International North%E2%80%93South Transport Corridor route 1
  • India, Iran, and Russia had in September 2000 signed the INSTC agreement to build a corridor to provide the shortest multi-model transportation route linking the Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf to the Caspian Sea via Iran and St Petersburg. ‘
  • It is a 7,200-km-long multi-mode network of ship, rail, and road routes for moving freight.
  • India, Iran, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Russia, Central Asia, and Europe.
  • From St Petersburg, North Europe is within easy reach via the Russian Federation. The estimated capacity of the corridor is 20-30 million tonnes of goods per year.
  • There are 13 member states of the INSTC project.
  • India
  • Iran
  • Russia
  • Azerbaijan
  • Armenia
  • Belarus
  • Tajikistan
  • Kyrgystan
  • Oman
  • Turkey
  • Syria
  • Ukraine.
  • The route primarily involves moving freight from India, Iran, Azerbaijan, and Russia via ship, rail, and road.

The Objective Of INSTC

  • The Objective of the corridor is to increase trade connectivity between major cities such as Mumbai, Moscow, Tehran, Baku, Bandar Abbas, Astrakhan, Bandar Anzali and etc.

Significance Of The Corridor

  • Conceived well before China’s BRI, INSTC will not only help cut down on costs and time taken for transfer of goods from India to Russia and Europe via Iran but also provide an alternative connectivity initiative to countries in the Eurasian region.
  • This will also synchronize with  the Ashgabat agreement, a Multimodal transport agreement signed by India, Oman, Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, for creating an international transport and transit corridor facilitating transportation of goods between Central Asia and the Persian Gulf.
  • India shows interest in extending INSTC membership to countries like Afghanistan and Uzbekistan.
  • Analysts predict by having improved transport connectivity between Russia, Central Asia, Iran and India, their respective bilateral trade volumes will increase. The Foreign Trade Policy of India, 2015-20, has highlighted the importance of the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC) in expanding India’s trade and investment links with Central Asia.
  • The successful activation of the corridor will help connect India to Russia within 16-21 days at competitive freight rates leading to development of trade on the INSTC. At present we have to either use Rotterdam port or land route via China to reach Russia and Central Asia. These are long, expensive and time-consuming.
  • It is also expected to eliminate usage of reefer containers for agro commodities and further support the supplies to Russia.
  • A study conducted by the Federation of Freight Forwarders’ Associations in India found the route is, “30% cheaper and 40% shorter than the current traditional route”.
  • For India, we can have access to the lucrative markets of the Central Asia, by-passing the transit through Pakistan. Indian exports could potentially get a competitive advantage due to lower cost and less delivery time.
  • The INSTC has particular economic and strategic relevance to India given the increasing regional ambitions of China through its One Belt, One Road Initiative. The proposed INSTC trade corridor could help India secure its interests in Central Asia and beyond.
  • Potential of this route is manifold, if India can bring on board its South East Asian neighbours too. The Suez Canal route takes 45-60 days, whereas the INSTC would take 25-30 days. Turkey has offered to provide necessary information for linking Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC) with INSTC.

India And INSTC

  • Establishing a land route via Kabul and Tashkent to form the INSTC’s “Eastern corridor” would maximize the potential of this collaboration.
  • Also, India wants to include Chabahar port to be included in the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC).
  • The potential export sectors in India that benefit from INSTC include perishable goods (fruits and vegetables), high-value items like ATMs, industrial printers, 3D printers, robotic assembly accessories, etc., cross-border e-commerce, and sectors that are likewise.

INSTC Vs BRI From Indian Perspective

  • One of the biggest and most discussed advantage of INSTC is reduction in carriage cost between India and Russia by about 30%, also the transit time from 40 days will be reduced to 20 days or less.
  • The tail ends of this corridor, which happens to be Russia and India, have committed to surging the bilateral trade by US$5 billion per annum within next four years.
  • This will bring an economic boom not just to the tail ends, but also the other countries situated along the corridor. Compare this to BRI, which has left myriads of lower- and middle-income countries saddled with “hidden debts” amounting to USD $385 billion.
  • India has pitched INSTC as a viable and fairer corridor, which doesn’t have surreptitious neo colonialist agenda like that of BRI. The dreaded debt-trap of China is being circumvented by poorer yet resource-rich Central Asian Republics by joining INSTC.
  • India has been developing close ties with CARs vis-e-vis trade, energy (uranium), defense and counterterrorism, as well as in technical and cultural spheres through “Connect Central Asia” and other frameworks.
  • Oman is another ally with whom India will work closely on INSTC. Earlier in Feb 2022, India and Oman’s top official held 10th meeting of the Joint Military Cooperation Committee (JMCC), in which Duqm Port was discussed.
  • At this point it must be added that India and Russia are also working at the Chennai Vladivostok corridor, which goes through Southeast Asia and reaches the Southeastern tip of Russia.

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.

spot_img

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.

spot_img

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.

Also Read: Difference Between NATO Vs Russia? [Explained]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!
