Great to see. Australia's Learmouth base is less than 5500 km from Kochi. - I'm sure you crews would be welcome to come on a flying visit - Learmouth, Perth or Darwin. Lets hope someone reads this and puts out the invitation.
These three missions were on 3 chock points, which so far has only been discussed by Indian Navy in public. IAF's demonstration of power around these choke points showcase a new dimension for future preparedness of our forces and defense planners. Very impressive indeed to see such long range and high endurance missions. Kudos to the IAF pilots and everyone involved.
the pilot endurance you mentioned was indeed the highlight for me, going at non stop for 7 hrs at avg speeds of 800 kmph is amazing. Ofcourse the whole support system and force multipliers like the refuellers etc...top notch. Thanks to all of them for that, and you for reporting on this to us. 🙏. Jai Hind..Jai Bharath!!!
Imagine doing that without spitting and going to toilets No being able to have food or take a nap and being on high alert for 8 hours .A normal person would probably collapse Jaya Bharatham
Fantastic Analysis Nithin ji , superb performance by our Airforce. Looking for more such exercises particularly with USA AND France with their airbases in Indian Ocean
What a way to demonstrate the real quality of IAF by these 3 exercises even if we may not have the required number of squadrons we can still make real tasks happen. Jai Hind, Jai Hind ki Vayu Sena.
Nitin sir am watching your channel since 2019 your channel and content are amazing and you are an amazing journalist. Im always proud of our armed forces to protect and serve, duty and honor and above else self sacrifice. JAI HIND
Excellent Nitin for this perspective on new Airforce and Naval capabilities, also should have included the special forces exercises conducted by the Army in the high altitude areas recently would have completed the Triad
For anybody who was questioning why 🇮🇳 need Aircraft carriers if we have Andaman Isles and Maldives ( friendly support ) 👆🏽 is why , Deep Ocean power projection and a different game , uncommon for IAF to send couple of formations to drop ordinance. We need Carrier borne AWACS supporting our MIGs , Takers hovering from mainland , but Fighters have to be from the SEA.
Want to see the Flankers taking off from Andaman and Nicobar islands with extended range bramhos and hit a simulated target in the international waters.
In general, I think Andaman should be converted into a triservice fortress. With anti-submarine and ship missiles and SIGINT and aggressing aircraft would be a pain for China. Along with some landing crafts
1. Both Indian Navy and Indian Air Force deserve heartfelt congratulations from the nation. They have displayed their capability and mettle to the potential adversaries and the friends. What has been achieved is something absolutely first time and all the veterans of Navy and Air Force must be feeling proud of the achievements!! 2. After 2020 Galwan mistake by Xi, Modi seized the moment and let the three services to do their best as they wished. We must thank Xi for all the initiatives Modi took after Galwan incident. Of course, the ground work since 2014 since the days of Parikar helped build up the capability which was ready to take off anyway!! While political leadership took strategic decisions, the Forces delivered their best!! Jai Hind. Ghosts of 1962 have been fully exorcised finally.
Very nice episode.....have been always of the opinion that the enablers (eyes ,ears and other support) are most important, which ensures successful missions and high survivability of our precious men and also the machines. This is the likely reason that best of US weapons in others hand not perform that well.
Nitin fantastic insight into 3 exercise my only critic is the type of aircraft and base of operation . I cannot understand why the Boeing P-8 Poseidon maritime aircraft by the Navy which is ideal for this operation was not used which has offensive weapons against warships and submarines .When your fighting in a maritime environment submarines play a very important role and can be miles away from its home base lurking close to enemy defence . Sukhoi MKI and Raffles do have capabilities to take down ships and aircrafts but not submarines . Would have been a good exercise also to integrate Navy and Air Force Air operations . Raffles took off from Hasimara a base in North Bengal below Bhutan primary role is to guard the border between India China to a ocean operation .Would it not it be more wise to operate from a base in Andamans Southern India Sulur unless objective is to test endurance of pilot and aircraft on a 7 hour flight . The work of a military fighter pilot is often described as long periods of mind-numbing boredom interspersed with short periods of stark terror. While there is hyperbole on both ends of this statement .
What's your qualifications to comment on this ? Bdw fyi ... Hasimara base houses one suad of rafales and in future will be hosting a total of 36 rafales in just one airfield alone so using 3 rafales won't compromise India's security as even at chock points if they used their aim would be to project power and remind china that ior is India's backyard 😍
@@futureprenur9594 I know what are my qualifications also know the strength of Hashimara, my question is nothing to do with Hashirma Airbase in fact Eastern command airbase in Bagdogra North Bengal & Tezpur Assam would adequately be able to cover it - It's the distance covered makes sense to fly such great distance when they are closer airbases to Malacca than Hashimara .Read my reply correctly before you shoot your reply on a form
We the civilians can understand the endurance limits of men and machines and the whole team, including military doctors, in such an endeavour. SALUTE to the whole teams for what they are doing to keep us secure. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🌺🌺🌹🌹🥂🥂
Do u know how much education sector gets ? You can not have an education if your country is not safe remember history India used to be top nation of choice nalanda and taxila University till forgainers came looted us and burnt those University to ground so do u want same to happen now ? Having strong offensive and defence forces most important for a economy that going to be top 3 in world as without it you will be subject to humiliation control and defeat ... Or maybe you forgetting what china did in 1962 ... Education is important but not everything can be earmarked for education alone there are other areas of intrest as well and as we grow our investment in all sectors will grow proportionally anyway India spends very less compared to china in defence even as percentage terms of GDP we don't spend above 2 percent
Cover for SIGINT? The enemy opens up radars and radios as opponents come close. Signal intelligence of enemy radar and communication is crucial in case of war.
Thanks to Nithin for supporting IAF, but sorry, for not questioning the government? Depleting squadron strength, no V Generation fighter planes induction ?
The russian invasion on ukraine had shown no flights can be flown for long hours to avoid detection by enemy radars. Once spotted by radar the jets become target for anti air craft fire, shoulder fired missiles and also counter attacked by enemy war planes
What the air force and the navy did in the last few days has been absolutely unprecedented. However the question that comes to mind is, why now? Is there something cooking in China or any other country inimical to India's interests, that our policy makers and defence planners have come to know?
I also have same thoughts. India has never displayed its power with such openness. Something is either about to happen or GOI knows something from intelligence that general public do not know. Recent clearance of 31 MQ9 was also surprising as even with high prices high number has been cleared.
“If we lose the Air, we lose the war and lose it fast” : US Air force slogan. However, despite unmatched air superiority, the US lost in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria & perhaps everywhere. The air superiority is necessary to destroy enemy beyond the frontlines on the land & the sea hitting troop concentrations & supply lines. However, all the wars must end with net territorial gains which determines the outcome at negotiations. The role of army specially mechanized infantry for rapid & secure occupation of enemy territory and holding on to that territory must be the ultimate aim which the airforce must help to achieve. That will also decide the outcome of any future warfare as now seen in Ukraine War. The Ukraine War has changed dimension of modern warfare. Loitering munition, armed drones, UAVs to guide artillery fire to prevent enemy gaining more ground & efficient anti-missile defense to secure own territory have become the frontline aims. No wonder, the US is now willing to sell GE414 to India as unmanned aerial warfare is becoming an important corollary to manned air war fare. With missiles having range 250Km & beyond carried by modern fighter aircraft (Brahmos has 300km range), even manned air warfare has reached well beyond visual range domain which can sanitize a very large area especially with air refuellers . However, the war must end with sizeable territorial gains which must be the ultimate aim.
This is a just for proof of concept I think, should be done in small doses,and repeatedly, for experience and data collection so that when needed all can be scrambled at once
One thing that I would request to our forces especially Air Force and Navy. Should they encounter a belligerent Chinese Militia or even PLA fighter planes they should not hesitate to shoot them down In case they act cocky!
Very poor defence journalism ... Just talking without saying much ... compared to someone like Justin Bronk , Hasard Lee , Ward Carroll , Fighter Pilot Podcast on Western Air Forces etc. SIMPLY NOT..ON 🙏
India should 'project power' in raising the standard of living for 800m people living on ration. Please 'project power' by raising the horrible literacy rate and education standards also

@@futureprenur9594 @futureprenur9594 oh stop it. Lol. Go educate yourself on the terrible state of Indian education system and improve it instead of burrying your head in the sand as most Indians do about their problems. India spends a paltry 2.9% of its GDP on education. One of the lowest. A quarter of its population is still illiterate in this day and age. Even its universities are all hyped up. NONE is in top 150 globally. As for defense, China spends less than 2% of its GDP on it. Just so happens that its GDP is 6x bigger than India's.

The government should order 54 more Rafales straight away.
India needs a minimum of 400 Tejas Mk 1 & 200 Tejas Mk 2 & 100 AMCA 5th GEN to compete with China and show Air power.
Cover for SIGINT? The enemy opens up radars and radios as opponents come close. Signal intelligence of enemy radar and communication is crucial in case of war.
Unless we have more air refuelers we will be in trouble. If the existing ones are destroyed by enemy action this strategy will come to halt.
