Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Foreword by KK Nohwar. 1. Some Reflections on the IAF. 2. Strategic Reach-Strategic Depth and the Question of the IAF s Strategic Posture. 3. Winning the Next War : Jointly. 4. Air Dominance and the Future of Air Power. 5. Some Aspects of Our Wars in Future. 6. Air Dominance Over the Oceans. 7. Air Power in the Decades Ahead. 8. The Challenge of Indigenisation: The Case of the Aircraft Industry. 9. Pakistan Air Force: Modernisation Trends/Shalini Chawla. 10. Air Power at Balakot: Exploiting Flexibility for Strategic Effect/Manpreet Sethi. Reams have been written on the advantages of air power in speed, stealth, reach, precision and lethality. Its core competencies remain reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition to enable precision and lethal attacks, and for rapid deployment or extraction of men and material. Technological developments over the years, especially in accuracy of air to ground attacks, reach of the aircraft, and precision of weapon systems, have further made it possible to hit enemy centres of gravity or provocation (such as the terror infrastructure that Pakistan supports and uses against India), without having to follow a sequential war of attrition or ground force assaults. Growing air power effectiveness presents itself as a precision tool particularly for deterrence by punishment and even coercive diplomacy. Air Cmde Jasjit Singh was a serious student of air power and an ardent proponent of its role in national security. During three decades that he spent in think tanks, he wrote abundantly on the many characteristics and operational possibilities of air power. This book brings together some of his select writings on a subject which has gained in relevance worldwide; and in India, particularly since the IAF air strikes on terrorist camps at Balakot in Pakistan following the terrorist attack on an Indian CRPF convoy at Pulwama on February 14, 2019. This compendium provides a thought-provoking view of the strategic potential of air power. It will whet the appetite of students of national security to look for more of his writings beyond these few and make their own assessments. Nothing would have satisfied Jasjit Singh more than to see the rise of an informed view on the subject of air power. (jacket).…

Nuclear Weapons and Conventional War: Changes in Indo-Pak Dynamics from 1971 to 2021/Manpreet Sethi. Narratives and Interactions. Fifty years after the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971, it is time to recollect the great military campaigns and reflect on the lessons and changes that have helped make India a stronger power. The two-front 13-day war began with the anticipated Pakistan Air Force (PAF) pre-emptive strike on December 3, 1971. Code-named Operation Chengiz Khan , the PAF targeted 11 Indian Air Force (IAF) airbases and other installations. This also paved the way for India s formal entry into the war for East Pakistan s Independence, and ultimately, creation of Bangladesh. The war ended with surrender of Pakistan s Eastern Command in Dhaka on December 16, 1971 and over 93,000 Pakistani personnel were taken prisoner. The IAF was engaged in every facet of air operations, and air power was indeed a significant contributor to the historic victory. The 1971 air war was one among the last in which classic close combat took place between two major Air Forces. The air war saw clear air superiority being established against a major Air Force. The war ended with the birth of a nation. It was also the largest surrender of a force after the Second World War. The book records the diverse aspects of the air operations during the war in correct perspective and explores the lessons highlighting some outstanding examples of jointmanship. The book revisits India s national strategy during that period, and analyses how the 1971 War altered Pakistan s strategic posture that we see today.…

Defence production and industry. 5. Pakistan's Covert War Part I (1947 79). 6. Pakistan's Covert War Part II (1979 2007). 7. Pakistan Air Force seeking dominance. 8. The Naval Build up. 9. Pakistan today political military and economic trends. Index. This book is an attempt to fill a critical void in our knowledge in understanding Pakistan's military which on one side began to dominate the power structure of the country and at another sought a unique strategy to apply force for ideological and political goals. Most of the scholarship has focused on the former and literature on the latter aspect is scant. This is understandable since few countries clearly spell out their military strategy. But as the victim of Pakistan's military strategy in its myriad dimensions of building it and using it for six decades it is incumbent for us to understand its dynamics in the past to identify the pointers for the future. Pakistan army has ruled the country for the major part of six decades directly and indirectly and this has inevitably led to its military strategy shaping the contours of Pakistan's strategic culture if not its grand strategy. Its strategy has relied heavily on irregular Guerrilla Warfare conducted as a Covert War (through Guerrilla Fighters terrorists and religious extremists etc.) and external support for building military power. And nuclear weapons reinforced the confidence and flexibility of tactics in the operational role of Covert war which more often than not has been baked at a selected time by overt military offensive. This comprehensive study of Pakistan's military and its strategy to pursue ideological and political goals in the future military and foreign policy of Pakistan would be of immense value to the professionals as well as those interested in national defence and military strategy. 296 pp.…

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: As New. 1st Edition. Pakistan has relied for more than a quarter century on its nuclear weapons to conduct its strategy against India. The militarys grand strategy has rested on maintaining the centrality of the covert war (war through terrorism) strategy. Pakistans acquisition of nuclear weapons has been rationalised as a deterrent to Indian conventional military superiority which, its Foreign Minister had once stated, hangs like the Sword of Damocles over Pakistans head. In turn, this was used as an umbrella under which to pursue a proxy war through terrorism. Nuclear weapons have been perceived as a shield to deter an Indian aggression which possibly could be prompted in response to the provocative (sustained and/or high profile) terrorism being conducted from the Pakistani soil, sponsored by the state actors. Pakistans reliance on nuclear weapons has also grown much more with its growing instability and rising threat of failure of the state.…

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 1st Edition. Air Commodore Jasjit Singh was one of India's foremost strategic analysts. The only constant for him in over three decades of research, analyses and writing was the centrality of national interest. Indeed, the man never let the nation down, whether as an air warrior or a strategist - ever ready to voice his views irrespective of how the wind was blowing - and always remaining practical in approach. Ever an optimist, he believed that India would inevitably rise to power by the sheer size of its economy and human resource potential. A greater concern for him, however, was the need to sensitize his compatriots to the national security challenges that would arise as the country rose, and to equip them with the capability to optimally address these. He did so through his writings and talks. This book is a modest compilation of his select writings on two specific issues - nuclear strategy and Pakistan - since he considered these as critical amongst India's many security challenges. Of course, the range of Jasjit Singh's writings and the expanse of his knowledge is immense and beyond capture in one book. But, this is a small effort in the direction of spreading his message/ideas to the current and future generation of scholars and policy makers. Hopefully, it will encourage students of national security to look for more of his writings beyond the few that we have been able to carry in this volume.…
