Over the past few months, there has been constant controversy over the Rafale deal, and ordinary Indians are still confused.
There are two main reasons for this.
The first involves the process of purchasing general defense equipment and aircraft.
Because they're going to last 30 or 40 years, they're mission-
They are critical and require continuous service and maintenance, very different from the "goods" that citizens usually encounter.
But what is really confusing is that these transactions are kept secret under the guise of national security and therefore cannot be reviewed.
In order to understand exactly what is going on, it is necessary to study how governance evolves over time and ultimately leads to modern governance.
Centuries ago, due to the lack of communication technology, an empire had to resort to a decentralized government.
Rajas, Navas and the governor run their territory under the overall command of the Empire.
In order to maintain the emperor's army, they have only trust responsibility for the emperor.
There are only two main staff members under the Emperor: commanderin-
Head of time function and head of Brahmin/ulima, responsible for mental control of his subjects.
With the development of communication, it is possible to appoint the servants of the Empire to distant placesflung posts.
With the advent of steam engines and telegrams, it became possible through a new administrative invention-civil servants-to directly manage the distant areas of the Empire, who was the natural evolution of patvali and Munim.
The ancient Rajas and Zami Darles became history, and Brahman/ulima became history under secular rule.
Today, therefore, civil servants are present in all walks of life.
Civil servants serve as hubs, because the primary purpose of civil servants is to raise money from any discipline that is kept secret, it is necessary to form a civil servant cabal that collectively pursue their loyalty to the emperor.
In return, politicians allow babu to have power over other forms of government such as justice, police and armed forces.
Civil servants are the makers and defenders of the rules.
All of this worked well except for the rebellion in the team.
Our public sector. PSUs)
It is not a cash cow, it is consuming finance.
This rebellion is in the form of technically qualified management with the aim of a commitment to the production process and is inconsistent with the commitment of civil servants.
When the production process does not work, the responsibility is attributed to the top management, who is always a civil servant.
Air India is a good example of this disaster.
The chair is an international accounting standards official, as is the director general of civil aviation and the secretary of civil aviation.
If so, it will take decades to get things right.
The professional and technical-centric armed forces can also be called PSU, who do not produce anything tangible except security.
Given this background, we are now coming to the system to buy aircraft and other high-end products
Provide valuable items for the army.
The Army is the largest consumer group in our national income.
Why does India need gusts?
This is the request of the state.
How does it become required by the state?
Border security and state sovereignty are the functions of political institutions.
With the help of the relevant government agencies, assessments were conducted to identify the threats facing the country and the level of military strength required to eliminate them.
Ideally, this assessment should focus on responding to emergencies in the coming decades.
The military keeps its eyes and ears wide open and pays close attention to new trends in war, theory and fighting in other parts of the world.
This will be the basis of the national strategy.
Strategy is largely a military process that requires contributions from all other disciplines.
But under the leadership of a strategic secret conference, there is a multi-faced civil servant who is right to say that our country has no strategic vision.
There are several examples.
The Chinese have been building huge infrastructure in Tibet for the past 12 years, but we have been sleeping and fascinated by the "soft power" and "economic participation" of the foreign ministry.
India does not believe in gunboat diplomacy (
Until the Maldives shocked us and we had to deploy our entire fleet).
It all returned to the hands of civil servants.
He has all the power but has no responsibility and no strategic goals to achieve.
The armed forces have become people in wood and drawers.
The only document of the Indian air force (IAF)
This short-sighted "strategic" vision is at hand.
The final result is a temporary plan.
Interestingly, the UK has a strategic vision in India.
That's how they played this great game.
The defense minister is in charge of India's defense.
He is not a civil servant, but a political appointment in the British Parliament. he is always a soldier with impeccable reputation or a soldier closely related to defense.
The Planning Bureau is the node organization of the aviation headquarters responsible for the strategic vision. It runs a top-
Known as a long-time re-secret document
Device plan or LTREP.
On the basis of the national intelligence assessment, it is subdivided into the field of military responsibility and authorized a certain force.
At least 60 guarantees are required for any air accident, this force level.
The unit currently has 42 squadrons, but in fact there are only 30 squadrons in the air force.
Gusts, originally a replacement for MiG 21, are now out of date.
When MiGs are already under its minimum fleet force, can IAF bear the cost of withdrawing MiGs?
With the arrival of MiGs-of-
Life, IAF may soon be down to 26 squadrons.
Why is "made in India" becoming so important in the event of a serious shortage, and with the same money you could have purchased at least 72 aircraft?
As there is no strategy, this LTREP has become a mix of various tables that give the life of the current holdings and when they should be replaced as holdings decrease.
When the replacement expires, the Ministry of Defense will initiate a statement of the case to replace and procure to maintain the required fleet strength.
For civil servants who are largely unaware of the technical parameters of the case, such acquisitions provide an opportunity to exercise their powers, especially since foreign acquisitions require substantial funding.
Usually, in order to educate themselves, civil servants ensure that
The advantage of the service headquarters is reaching out to arms agents who are usually nominated by politicians.
The most notorious event here is Lt Gen.
Tejinde Singh walked into the army chief of staff's office arrogantly and paid bribes to the army chief of staff.
14 crore buys Tatra HMVs for the army.
Can he do it without the support of politicians and friendly civil servants?
The moment at the top
A secret statement of the case can be obtained by the relevant arms merchants, and the official secret act is cursed. A top-
General V's secret letterK.
Singh pointed out to the prime minister that only four days of tank ammunition had been leaked to the media without any impact.
Once approved and the approximate funding has been identified, the Air Force has set out to prepare a request for proposal (RFP).
In this regard, the air crew needs Bureau described the performance it wanted on the plane.
The arms merchants were speeding.
They can even make adjustments to the RFP so that their products are best suited to slots-
This also happened in the Rafale case.
It can be imagined that given that all three of India's troops are managed by a series of succession forces, the Air Force has independent ideas guided by best defense.
But the reality is different: the last army chief replaced two of his peers.
It is not difficult to guess who controls the succession line.
Even clairvoyant strategists have been fooled into believing that the army enjoys independence in defense matters.
The aircraft test was carried out on the aircraft provided by the supplier.
These tests can be "adjusted ".
In the AgustaWestland case, there was not even a trial of the type provided, but rather a trial of the type claimed to have "similar" capabilities.
Not to mention that AgustaWestland did not even satisfy the original RFP, but modified the RFP.
In the case of gusts, the plane has the life of nine cats as we all know.
In fact, seven times, gusts failed.
By the way, only MiG 35 passed all the tests once.
Russians are most willing to make in India, and India should meet the needs of "Made in India" enthusiasts.
In addition, Russia has long-standing ties with Hindustan airlines (HAL).
The shortlisted suppliers are invited to make financial bids.
During the financial bidding period, the price negotiation committee (team)
Play a role.
The committee works under the constraints of the defense procurement process (DPP).
The DPP is just a compilation of past mistakes made to prevent recurrence and encourage the "Made in India" initiative.
In the acquisition category, there is a type called Buy (Global).
Its definition is: "Buy (Global)
Category refers to the purchase of equipment directly from foreign or Indian suppliers.
In the case of procurement through a foreign supplier, for equipment that meets the strategic/long-term requirements, it is possible to go through the government's route to the government
Semester requirements.
What's simpler than this?
On the government-to-government route, only civil servants are involved.
An old joke at aviation headquarters is: "Show us the suppliers and the department will show you the policy.
"The author was involved in the acquisition of Mirage 2000 and MiG 29.
MiG 29 came down to India without a slippers tank, which is a low
Cost items, but are critical to the flight performance of the aircraft.
Similarly, 2000 of Mirage's weapons and equipment were three years late.
That means Mirage 2000 has been an expensive ballerina in the sky for three years.
In the Rafale deal, there was an Air Force deputy.
Under the leadership of the captain, the captain changed his normal state.
One of the charges against the Rafale deal was that the price details were concealed.
The heart of this matter is here.
Details of the price will reveal where the funds are going.
All state agencies, including the Supreme Court, the auditor general and the auditor general, and the French government, are used to provide smoke screens.
There are also allegations of Rs in the "Made in India" initiative.
30,000 crore tried to be drawn away to a nepotism capitalist who had just recently acquired a piece of land with only one tin shed on it, and he also filed for bankruptcy.
The acquisition of the 36 aircraft seems to be a rush, and even the defense minister may not know.
The basic price of the aircraft is recalculated upwards.
In the absence of black and white people, all these are still charges.
An extraordinary feature of the Rafale deal is the trust of the civil servant in the officer, which brings him to the public's attention in order to consolidate his position.
This contrasts with the Bofors scandal when General Sundarji, then army chief of staff, refused to comment on the price of the Bofors gun.
The officer needs the confidence of his men;
He might send them to the place where they died in the war.
Over the years, the Indian government has developed into a closed government system.
All state institutions have been downgraded systematically.
Civil servants have risen to the highest level as owners of all.
The armed forces suffered and could not find a place at the table.
Indian Air Force fighter pilot and air force commander Rajesh Khosla served at Air Force headquarters and retired in 1991.
As a civil aviation pilot, he served as project director for domestic airlines in Afghanistan.
