tdayof:
Is the US forcing polices on her allies?

Still wonder how these sovereign nations are too clingy onto US rules. Israel seems to be the only one here capable of freeing herself from some US policies.
in real world u dont force

what is done is u create conditions/situations where ur lead to believe that ur the one making the decisions while in reality sombody is making the decisions for u.

its difficult to explain but i hope u get the gist.

democracy / freedom of press / feminism / NGO etc etc ever wonder where these start and controlled from....

just like shell companies they r bounced around in different countries but their source r the same ......

whats their secondary aim....... control of the narrative of the target country.

u heard of Maoists .... it is related to Mao china but their facilitation center is in London

what is maoists intellectuals doing in a democracy like UK ? food for thought grin

I was speaking about chess specifically

However I think that thought was from Sun Tzu or so
but who cares about philosophy when shit hits the fan
oh sorry than

me fuucck Sun Tzu respectfully grin

data mining

copy paste...........

If you are a techie, your future can be more exciting than writing code for a labour-arbitrage company that sells your skills cheap to the western world. Now you can even fight for your country while not moving an inch away from your keyboard.

A number of tech startups, as well as big companies, are now providing intelligent solutions to soldiers guarding the borders. The demand for such solutions has increased after rising hostilities with Pakistan last year and the Doklam standoff with China this year.

Speaking at the second edition of the ‘Smart Border Management’ conference organised by FICCI in New Delhi on Monday, BSF director-general KK Sharma said technology was required to reinforce the efficiency of soldiers guarding borders.

Border management has emerged as a crucial area in need of smart solutions for armed forces. Most of India's borders are difficult to guard due to mountains, rivers and other diverse geographical features.

That's where Indian techies come into picture. A techie sitting in his Bangalore office with loads of data can devise smart solutions for soldiers guarding the borders. And a lot of them are already working on what has come to be called defence analytics.

With the help of artificial intelligence and Big Data, soldiers patrolling the border know when and where terrorists are likely to cross over into Indian soil. A smart solution devised by a techie can be as precise as predicting the day and time of the next incursion and how it would occur.

"We have more than 20 terabytes of data on border movement which earlier used to be recorded in physical logbooks of soldiers. These include thermal images, instances of people going near the fence from across the border, activity at late night, etc,” says Tushar Chhabra, co-founder of Gurgaon-based driverless truck company CRON systems, which helps the army in predicting border-infiltration patterns.

For instance, terrorists on the other side of the border usually send a herd of cattle to check for mines that the armed forces have placed on the border. Analysis of past data has shown that typically an incursion follows 12 days later.

Nyokas, a Kochi-based startup, has developed a smart jacket for armed forces. When a solider gets injured during an operation, the smart jacket sends signals to other soldiers.

Delhi-based Innefu Labs provides analytics services to BSF, CRPF and police departments across the country. The firm’s data analytics predicted that incidents of cross-border infiltration and narcotic smuggling increase on cloudy and foggy days.

Tata Power SED and Dat Con are running a pilot project of the Ministry of Home Affairs to install an integrated border-guarding system to test technology for preventing infiltration, especially by detecting cross-border tunnels as well as possible entries through aerial and underwater routes. Called the Comprehensive Integrated Border Management System (CIBMS), it is a major counter-infiltration measure to prevent cross-border terror attacks.

CIBMS will establish a seamless multi-tier security ring at the border using a variety of sensors such as thermal imager, radar, aerostat with EO payload, optical fibre intrusion detection system, unattended ground sensor and underwater sensor.

Just a decade ago, artificial intelligence and Big Data were part of arcane lingo of nerds. Today, they have become buzzwords. They are used by entities as diverse as tax sleuths and stock traders.

As ITBP DG RK Pachnanda said at the FICCI conference, the armed forces need technology as a force multiplier. This opnes up vast space for techies. Globally, defence analytics is a $2-billion market but is still taking off in India. While DRDO has a dedicated lab, the Centre for Artificial Intelligence (CAIR), to develop defence technology such as robots, the scope for private data analytics companies is also increasing by the day.

It sounds the same with Sun Tzu's thought..or did I put it badly

Your defence posture(in all its form) Will force your enemy to think to hard about outsmarting you thus leaving him predictable (gives you opportunity to spank him)

yes one of the desired results

it is part of Chanakyas stratagems

"If war involves both parties in a common ruin, that is the bankruptcy of statesmanship. War must be conducted by armed forces but much more important than the force of arms is the high strategy which saps the enemy's morale and disrupts his forces and brings about his collapse or takes him to the verge of collapse before armed attack"

"war must always serve the larger ends of policy and not become an end in itself.The statesman's objective must always be the betterment of the State as a result of war and not the mere defeat and destruction of the enemy"

most foreign observers claim ind... utilizes/ed Chanakya niti to contain/defeat insurgency/militancy which in another nation might have gone full blown with the high level of foreign jihadi/evangelist support

eg. chris.... militant group ......CIN was split up into 2 groups moderate and hardcore ideology , with each ending up braying for each others bloods and weakening themselves.
same for jihadi groups in 90s one notable split resulted in ....wan ex- local militants group who targeted foreign pak/afg mujaheddin orgs operating among local population.

perse u never kill your manageable enemy (who draws from part of local population / with high local support ), u win him over/manage him while trying to dilute his power gradually , u kill him another worse one will take his place and u now have majority hardliners in the local population due to the target assassination.

something to ponder

BOW DOWN TO THE VIETNAMESE,WARRIORS FOR OVER 2 K YEARS!

I don't like simple titles-they're too misleading,eg worlds best army/air force/specops etc etc,really can't properly quantify all the variables that make up a fighting force. Everyone goes on about Recces,SAS,SEALS/SPETSNATZ/Sayeret and screams whenever he feels they're being dissed. What I do know is that not a SINGLE POST here or on ToT has ever mentioned what imo are maybe the fightingest mofos in the world-the Vietnamese!
I recently read a collection of US Viet war anthologies,and the most interesting was the story of the first black CIA field agent. On the surface the Catholic Viet allies were polite but inwardly seethed with anger. Their ancient enemy ,the neighbouring Khmer,the Cambodians were very very dark eg,the Khmer seen in this 12th century frieze from Angkor Thom were still strongly Africoid,observe the hair. Nowadays,many look like this girl,with much residual African phenotype-but I digress!

For over 2k YEARS the Viets fought the black Khmers,Laotians,Thais and Chinese .This map shows the extant empires of 400 ad,that became modern Thailand,Vietnam,Cambodia,Burma,China and Laos shown in the last map. In that time frame hundreds of wars and minor skirmishes
were fought in the region and the inhabitants of todays Vietnam rarely lost.

BOW DOWN TO THE VIETNAMESE,WARRIORS FOR OVER 2 K YEARS! 2

Here's a list of 70 major wars beginning 5kya,including the entire series of Chinese engagements to the US war 1960-75 and last major arse kicking unleashed on the Chinese in 1979;the Viets lost only 14 times,the last being the French colonisation in 1886.
China invaded N Vietnam in 1979 trying to get them out of Cambodia and stop mistreatment of ethnic Chinese calling down a veritable whirlwind of isht upon themselves.

The war between the two communist neighbors broke out in the early hours of February 17, 1979, when China launched a full-scale military invasion into Vietnam’s northernmost provinces. Though the skirmish lasted only 27 days, the devastation it caused was colossal.


Casualty figures are still in doubt, as they have never been released by either Beijing or Hanoi. Some have estimated that Chinese casualties ranged anywhere between 21,000 and 63,000. It is also thought that tens of thousands of Vietnamese died and suffered, most of them civilians because the war was fought exclusively on Vietnamese soil.

Chinese arty guys and a POW on Viet soil.

2 decades prior Viet communists captured Dien Bien Phu in the culmination of a 4 year uhuru struggle. It was one of the very few victories of non whites over whites on a scale of Adowa or the Jap victory over the Russian navy in Tsushima straits ,1905. France hoped to lure the Viet Minh into a set piece battle and rely on air to crush them in a simple war of attrition. The site of DBP was poor surrounded by hills allowing VM plunging 130 mm fire from reverse slopes unreachable by counterfire.

Viet Minh commander Vo Nguyen Giap,with considerable Chinese aide, massed troops and placed heavy artillery in caves in the mountains overlooking the French camp. On March 13, 1954, Giap launched a massive assault on strong point Beatrice, which fell in a matter of hours. Strong points Gabrielle and Anne-Marie were overrun during the next two days, which denied the French use of the airfield, the key to the French defense. Reduced to airdrops for supplies and reinforcement, unable to evacuate their wounded, under constant artillery bombardment, and at the extreme limit of air range, the French camp’s morale began to fray.

he French perimeter was gradually reduced until, on May 7, resistance ceased. T[b]he shock and agony of the dramatic loss of a garrison of around fourteen thousand men allowed French prime minister Pierre Mendes to muster enough parliamentary support to sign the Geneva Accords of July 1954, which essentially ended the French presence in Indochina.[/b]

DRDO achieved breakthrough in AIP Fuel Cell technology. DRDO created a prototype of High Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (HT-PEM) Fuel Cell which is much better than initially developed indigenous Low Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (LT-PEM) for Scorpene Submarines which operates under 80°C.

A test station would be created soon for testing the prototype.

Although LT-PEM is more complex, its easier to develop, the HT-PEM is comparatively simpler yet difficult to develop.

A REFERENCE pic is provided below to know advantages of HT-PEM over LT-PEM.

Yes!! "All Reutech’s landward radios are Link-ZA compatible and feature encryption, frequency hopping and an onboard GPS receiver for situational awareness. The radios Reutech is supplying to the SANDF as part of Radiate were designed as a family from the start for ease of use across all systems in terms of logistics and human-machine interface functionality."

http://www.defenceweb.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=27918

We also have the impi blue force tracking unit(Link ZA compatible) which is installed on all our Aircraft, Ships, vehicles and even soldiers if need be, but the unit is slightly bulky. Thus from frigate to the individual soldier can be tracked and monitored and the info sent real time via LinkZA to other platforms!



"Together with an onboard battery, a panic button is also incorporated into the unit. When pressed, a message will flash on Chaka, giving position, call sign as well as the direction of travel of the person in duress.

However, when used for blue force tracking, Chaka is not required as the data can be sent via a Link-ZA IL6 message."
