The Indian Army is the third largest army in the world in terms of size, based on the number of personnel. But this description obfuscates the fact that it is not as powerful as what such a portrayal should signify, in terms of its capacity to undertake military operations optimally in the multi-domain, technology dominated battlefields of the future. The developments in India’s immediate neighbourhood over the past decade have led India to take a close look at her foreign and security policies. There is a widely sensed need for the rapid modernisation of the Indian armed forces, which is being reflected in some of the key initiatives that have been taken up by the Indian government so far (such as Make in India), so as to address to the complex security challenges that emanate from its hostile neighbourhood.  India seems to be modernising its military and its nuclear capabilities keeping an eye on China. India's declared policy is of nuclear deterrence and no first strike. However, the modernisation program, particularly the ballistic missiles program, shows that India is intent on bringing the whole of China in its strike range.  India's threats and challenges in the military realm primarily emanate from the historically inherited territorial disputes involving its two nuclear armed neighbours, over which five wars have already been fought. The growing nexus on military and nuclear matters between our potential adversaries suggests that, unlike in the past, India may face a ‘two front threat’, the next time round. The fact that the existing territorial disputes are ‘land-centric’ highlights the pre-dominant role of the Army in the Indian security context. The present defence setup, have critically analysed all the factors and suggested ways to fully modernize our defence structure in order to make the book a guiding tool for the defence authorities as well as students at large.

  • 2026 统一台湾:冲击,影响,和风险

    美国及联盟事实上无法阻止,延迟,或逆转中国的统一台湾的行动。在2026年启动这一行动,对中国是妥当的时机。美国联盟也不能不对中国的行动作出反应。不对此做出反应就是政治自杀。错误的应对方案同样也带来自杀结果的结果。美国的应对方案理论上有事前方案和事后方案两个组共6种工具包。包括事前和谈方案,事前阻遏方案;事后全面政治制裁;全面政治制裁加经济制裁;政治制裁加靖绥军事方案,和全面整体战争方案。总体上很难看到美国能从应对中国的行动中获益,美国(联盟)选择它的应对方案的出发点就是止损。阻止中国快速地扩张政治收益,地缘收益,和经济收益。但是对美国集团最理想的应对方案往往没有实施的机会。比较容易实施的方案集中于事后反应方案组中。全面政治制裁应当是各应对方案的基础配置。经济制裁方案较军事方案的风险级别低,易于试探边界。但是缺乏军事行动的任何方案都难以安抚集团内部的民...
