  1. SG it is alright to discuss views of uniformed persons about warfare. My take. In this age of internet and digital media there are no secrets. The context has to be correct. A war, broadly, has two aims. 1. Defence. 2. Offence Defence is self-explanatory. There are two aspects to offence. 1. A deterrent 2. Occupation of territories. Equipping and strategies are different in each of these scenarios. The Russian invasion of Ukraine is for occupation of territory. India has a stated position of not occupying foreign territory (loosely said). Hence the “lessons” from the war and battles in Russia – Ukraine should be tempered. India strategies and equipping should be centered on defence on land, air and sea. Defence does have an element of offence but does not include conquering and occupation. Also, roughly three times more resources are required for offence than for Defence. Tailpiece: Let us not read too much into the lessons from Russia-Ukraine conflicts. Maybe we can learn from the efficiency of technologies employed on and off the battlefields. More specifically on those employed away from the battlefields.
