Sea mines, new air defence system, fighter jets, India's weapons worth Rs 100000000000 will send shivers down spine of China and Pakistan
This council is the top unit of the Ministry of Defense, which takes decisions to buy big weapons and technology for the Indian Army. In this meeting, many important proposals will be placed for the Army, Indian Air Force and Indian Navy. There will be special emphasis on systems related to surveillance, air defense and maritime security. Its purpose is to make the three forces of the country more modern and strengthen India on the security front.
According to a TOI report, the Defense Acquisition Council (DAC) is going to approve many big proposals this week to further strengthen India's defense preparedness. These include two important projects that will take the capabilities of the Army and the Air Force to new heights. How will Indian Army benefit?
Under this proposal costing around Rs 30,000 crore, the Indian Army will get the Quick Reaction Surface-to-Air Missile System (QRSAM) developed by DRDO. This system is capable of instantly eliminating air threats coming within a range of 30 kilometers. This is considered a big step towards strengthening India's layered air defense i.e. layer-by-layer air security. What is I-STAR aircraft?
The Indian Air Force is going to buy three new I-STAR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Targeting and Reconnaissance) aircraft. These aircraft will be procured from international manufacturers, which will later be modified in India in collaboration with DRDO's Airborne System Center and private companies. These aircraft will prove to be very effective in providing accurate information in the battlefield, monitoring enemy activities and planning accurate attacks. What will DRDO manufacture?
The Indian Navy has proposed to include special mines (landmines) to stop enemy submarines and ships in the sea. These mines have been made by DRDO, which can attack the enemy while staying in the depths of the sea. Other weapons
Indian Air Force's 84 Sukhoi-30 MKI (Su-30MKI) fighter jets will now be made more powerful. New weapons, radars and electronic systems will be installed in these aircraft, so that more accurate attacks can be made on the enemy.
The Navy is now preparing to bring pilotless underwater drones. These drones will keep an eye on enemy submarines and activities and will help in gathering intelligence.

In the era of social media and warmongering, what the young need
My fingers had been sifting through the internet around the midnight of May 6, when they arrived at a reposting of a black-and-red poster. It invited a plethora of questions, including those related to its credibility. Operation Sindoor was underway. It was still late at night. So, the internet revealed stray images with little reliable reportage. My mind was taken over by anxiety, the first thought being, 'are we heading to war?' The next morning, air sirens blared over a Delhi neighbourhood. Residents, it seems, had been impervious to official notices, and the anxiety was palpable. Some stared at the skies imagining silhouettes of military jets. It was only when an official outside the residential complex announced that it was a civil mock drill did relief return to the worried faces. The children trotted back to their homes. The city suddenly seemed to operate in distinct contrasts. While the military operation seemed celebratory for a large section of people, chaos crept up on some social media handles. Some youngsters took to reporting, advertising a successful military operation. Some came up with pro-war narratives, while others cited humanitarian concerns over a full-scale conflict. Over the next four days, several of my peers were glued to mobile phones with updates of drone attacks and ceasefire violations. Social media became a source of information and exchanges, at times leading to fear amongst the younger section who now rely primarily on it. The effect of using technology extensively has led to cognitive and behavioural modifications within this section, as social psychologist Jonathan Haidt noted in The Anxious Generation. Not a day went by wherein one couldn't find an Instagram story without people sharing literature surrounding the ongoing hostilities. Worse still, all this took the form of diatribes, or opinions. Some of this literature had merit, while others were either misinformed or even perniciously charged. Information exchanges by 19 to 21-year-olds even led to occasional hate mongering. At times, the exchanges degenerated with some interlocutors questioning the other's right to freedom of speech. These newfound 'mobile journalists' who also became social media activists began to claim that they were better informed than those who held the government accountable — the media and the civil society. Debates also began to rage in family WhatsApp groups, and amongst friends, some of whom had travelled all the way to Delhi to give a postgraduate entrance exam. The idea of escalation between the two countries by itself was not devoid of sordidness and fear, but the social media epidemic of information warfare left a young pandemic surviving generation more uneasy. A Pakistani friend who recently graduated with a degree in political science from a reputed college in London started a new social media handle 'reporting' on world affairs. The more our country pushed on the agenda of Operation Sindoor, his reportage increasingly became acrimonious. He relied on reports focusing on Pakistan's side of the story, often veiling his country's real position under a narrative that tried to highlight supremacy vis-a-vis India. When I tried to gauge people's thoughts on the matter, several gave a communal angle to interpersonal dynamics; some feigned ignorance. There is beauty and vulnerability in friendships, some that transcend borders and socio-political fragilities. It struck me: Would I ever be able to approach my friend with the same ease as before? The relations between India and Pakistan are riddled with hostilities and anxieties. Should they affect personal relationships? Or is there space to navigate the situation together? When I was growing up, my grandparents narrated experiences of a blackout — they had to hide in trenches in case of air raids or cover windows with dark tape to prevent light from passing through. A hostile socio-political environment often leaves its marks on relationships and can leave many desolate. Imagine treading through a barren and arid rubble, a land which has no light gracing its surface, malodorous with ashy smoke, burnt bodies, with its floors painted red. The writer Annie Ernaux has pointed out that more fearful than the disappearance of physicality is the disappearance of thought. As mere mock air sirens made us anxious, I chanced upon questions asked by kids whose families and homes were bombed in Gaza. The list was presented by the Palestine Trauma Centre. Some of them are: After we die, will I hear your voice? When I die, will they put me in a grave with my mom and dad? Why do they always bomb us? When a missile hits us, do we feel pain or die immediately? Do the Israeli pilots who bomb children have children? Every day you say that tomorrow war will end. While the neighbours have agreed to a ceasefire, the relationship between the two continues to be uneasy. Other conflicts rage around the world, where childhood is shadowed by the silhouette of guns and weapons. The time now is to speak in a voice that assures, especially the young ones. The writer is a student of Writing MA, currently on a leave of absence from the Royal College of Art in London
