Women To Get Permanent Commission Like Male Officers – PM Modi

Indian army women officers

Source: HT: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in his Independence Day speech on Wednesday women officers in Indian armed forces will have an option for a permanent commission like their male counterparts. “I want to give good news to our brave daughters. Women officers who have been selected through the short service commission in our defence forces will get the opportunity for a permanent commission,” Modi said in his speech from the Red Fort. The Prime Minister said this would be done through a transparent selection process. It wasn’t immediately clear as to what additional streams or avenues would be opened to women officers. Defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman thanked Modi on Twitter for the announcement. The announcement comes after the Centre told the Supreme Court in April it was considering granting permanent commission to short service commission women army officers, a move that could bring an end to an eight-year-old battle in the top court and which will make the army the last of India’s armed forces to do so. The Indian Air Force and the Indian Navy already do this.
How To Prepare for SSB Interview:

The government’s position in the court was a climbdown from its earlier one. It appealed in the top court after the Delhi High Court in March 2010 ordered it to give women army officers on short service commission a permanent commission.

It told the Supreme Court in May that the armed forces have embarked on proposing a series of measures to usher a more “liberal regime” to grant permanent commission to women officers and open new streams of induction for them. In an affidavit filed in the top court, the ministry of defence said it requires six months to formulate modalities and enforce the changes and alterations in the three forces.

Officers serve the military for a period of five years under the short service commission, which can be extended to 10 and then 14 years. They have three options at the end of three years when they choose the permanent commission, opt for a four-year extension or opt out. Permanent commission allows them to serve till the age of retirement.

The army allows the permanent commission to women officers in two branches — judge advocate general (JAG) and education. The air force and the navy, too, grant permanent commission to women officers but only in selective streams.

How To Prepare for SSB Interview:

AFCAT is conducted online at various exam centers across the country, the exam is online based which needs proper computers with good internet/intranet connectivity to the CDAC servers, looking at the present condition in Kerala due to heavy flood, the chances of conducting an exam like AFCAT would be really difficult, though there is no official confirmation from the authority on the same. There are few major AFCAT exam centers in Kerala like Kochi and Kannur, both the area are affected by the recent flood.

INDIAN ARMY JCOs ARE GAZETTED OFFICERS

Junior Commissioned Officer (JCO) is a term describing a group of military ranks found in the Indian Army, Pakistan Army, Bangladesh Army and Nepal Army. Those soldiers holding JCO rank receive a commission from the President, but this commission is of a lower status than that held by full commissioned officers.
How To Prepare for SSB Interview:

Source: TOI Last year the Army clarifies that the junior commissioned officers (JCOs) are gazetted officers and canceled its earlier note that described them as “non-gazetted” officers. And now defence ministry has clarified that the Junior Commissioned Officers (JCO) in the Indian military are gazetted officers, the Defence Ministry has clarified in an order issued on August 1. The clarification follows a long-standing controversy over the issue.

The Ministry has instructed the three services to issue suitable identity cards to the JCOs immediately in the order, the subject of which reads: “Issue of blue Securitised Laminated Identity Cards (SLIC) to JCOs and the equivalent officer having been accorded gazetted officer status by an Act of Parliament.”

“There exists no ambiguity at all in the status of JCOs/equivalent being Gazetted officers. As the letter referred at Para 1(d) stands withdrawn vide letter at Para 1 (e) above, thereby resolving the ambiguity, blue coloured SLICs may be issued immediately to JCO/equivalent in the three services,” the Headquarters of Integrated Defence Staff said in an order dated August 1, 2018.INDIAN ARMY JCOs ARE GAZETTED OFFICERS

Reversal of order

This is a reversal of an order issued in mid-June in which Defence Ministry observed that there was no case for accepting JCOs as Gazetted officers. In the case for grant of Non-Productivity Linked Bonus (NPLB) to JCOs and equivalent, the Defence Ministry observed in an order dated June 14, “The matter has been examined in consultation with CAO division. It has also been seen that the CAO division has, with the approval of Defence Secretary, not agreed to the contention that JCOs are Gazetted officers and should be issued blue SLICs.” Due to this, the order stated that there does not appear to be enough justification to reconsider grant of NPLB to JCO and equivalent.

Sepoy Vrahma Pal Singh

In November 2017, a cordon & search operation was launched in Algar village, South kashmir in Jammu and Kashmir on input of presence of three terrorists. Sepoy Vrahma Pal Singh was deployed in inner cordon as part of Combat Action Team under Captain Kaninder Paul Singh.
How To Prepare for SSB Interview:

On positive identification of complex of target houses, and having readjusted the cordon, a search team including Sepoy Vrahma Pal Singh was formulated. Considering his tactical & professional excellence he was made part of entry team. Having cleared two houses Sepoy Vrahma Pal Singh alongwith his buddy moved ahead to clear the adjacent cowshed. Upon entering the completely dark cowshed as Entryman Number 1, he came under heavy effective fire from the cowshed from three different directions. Unmindful of his personal safety, he retaliated immediately. All three terrorists started aimed firing at Sepoy Vrahma Pal Singh in a bid to overpower him. Sepoy Vrahma Pal SinghIn a single handed gallant action displayed by Sepoy Vrahma Pal Singh, he provided cover fire and afforded opportunity to his buddy Rifleman Aurangzab to extricate himself not only out of cowshed, but also kept the three terrorists engaged thus prevented their escape out of cowshed. This also resulted in gaining of time to readjust the cordon by Captain Kaninder Paul Singh. In the ensuing firefight, he sustained bullet injuries on his chest and legs. Despite being grievously wounded and numerically overwhelmed by terrorists Sepoy Vrahma Pal Singh continued dominating and engaging the terrorists, which led to neutralization of one terrorist and injuring of another.

Sepoy Vrahma Pal Singh in the highest traditions of Army, made supreme sacrifice for the nation. For displaying heroic action,  indomitable spirit, exceptional bravery, camaraderie, espirit-decorps, leading to saving the life of his buddy and neutralization of two hardcore terrorists of Pakistan and injuring of another terrorist by making supreme sacrifice for the nation in line with highest traditions of Indian Army, Sepoy Vrahma Pal Singh has been awarded „KIRTI CHAKRA (POSTHUMOUS)‟.

The Story of Mig-25 Foxbat [Garuda] – Pakistan’s Nightmare

By
SSBCrackExams

Mig-25 Foxbat
Mig-25 Foxbat

The MiG-25 Foxbat is a supersonic interceptor and recce aircraft that was among the fastest military aircraft to enter service. It is one of the few combat aircrafts which was built primarily using stainless steel. It first flew in 1964 and subsequently entered service in 1970.

Being an interceptor aircraft itself, it flew so high and so fast that it was hard to intercept this aircraft even by the fighters. A total of 1,190 of these mighty machines were built between 1964 to 1984.

The deception

When the aircraft was first seen in recce photography, its enemies – the US, in particular, thought it to be an enormous and highly maneuverable fighter. It caused so much fear with the US that even the appearance of the MiG-25 sparked serious concern in the West. It prompted the US to increase F-15’s performance.

The Mig-25 was also a high altitude reconnaissance aircraft, besides being an interceptor. It was operated in the conditions of direct radio communication with the ground and was capable of taking photographs of whole United Kingdom within one flight.

Soviet Pilot Going Rogue – The Defection

Soviet pilot Viktor Belenko, in 1976, went rogue and defected in a MiG-25 to the United States through Japan. The then Lieutenant Belenko was a pilot with the 513th Fighter Regiment, 11th Air Army.

With his defection, he gave the Western intelligence officers the opportunity to give a first close look at one of the most secretive airplanes of those years. He helped the American experts in evaluating the aircraft through his pilot’s manual.

It was dismantled and after examining the aircraft extensively, was later returned to the Soviet Union.

One of the reasons of Belenko’s defection was his disbelief in the communist regime during the cold war era where nukes were the psychological means of warfare. One of the ways to deliver these nukes was to use the strategic bomber. The bombers with the US were subsonic, and Foxbat could have easily intercepted it.

Mig-25 and India

The MiG-25 was inducted into IAF on 17 Aug 1981 with 102 Trisonics Squadron at Bareilly. The first sortie took place on 25 Aug 1981.

The IAF operated perhaps the smallest squadron of MiG 25 aircraft. The sole purpose of this aircraft was ‘Strategic Reconnaissance.’

Bareilly had been the parent base of the aircraft throughout its service. The aircraft did undertake sorties from other airbases as well in course of its missions and also took part in the Kargil war.

The MiG 25 aircraft were flown in dismantled condition to Bareilly, in Antonov aircrafts. This led western analysts to believe the Antonov as huge acquisition for Indiam Air Force. The base for the MiG25 was located in Bareilly, an otherwise not a location one can think for a secret aircraft.

This aircraft remained so secret that not even all serving officers of the IAF had seen the aircraft during its active years. It was the best aircraft which the IAF had and naturally was flown by the best IAF pilots.

The No.102 Trisonic squadron flew several photographic missions over China and Pakistan in late 1980s. To be a Foxbat pilot kind of required excellent flight record and highest flying experience.

Over the years at least 3 MiG-25s were lost on routine sorties. During its entire service with the IAF, only 42 IAF pilots were ever qualified to fly this fighter.

This is one of the rare pic of any MiG-25 Foxbat pilot. He belongs to the IAF No.102 ”The Trisonic” squadron.

On a secret mission in May of 1997 a MiG-25 entered Pakistani airspace subsonically at around 65,000 ft and photographed strategic installations near Islamabad. It then turned back towards India with the pilot accelerating up to Mach 2 and dropping a large sonic boom as he exited Pakistani airspace.

The IAF MiG-25 created a furore when the pilot flew faster than Mach 2 over Pakistani territory. The Foxbat broke the sound barrier while flying, otherwise the mission would have remained covert, at least to the general public.

Before the Pakistanis could figure out what had hit them or scramble their fighter aircraft, the intruding MiG-25 was back in Indian airspace.

Such were the days of Mig-25’s secrecy that even the Americans feared it. Had it not been for the acts of traitor Viktor Belenko, the Mig-25 would not have become available for exports.
