PRC removes 6 generals from legislature as military anti-corruption drive continues
Apart from the senior commanders, the former Xinjiang party chief and a senior financial regulator were also stripped of their status
There had already been indications that some of the dismissed People’s Liberation Army commanders were under investigation.General Xu Xueqiang, from the Central Military Commission’s Equipment Development Department, missed a major party meeting in October.Meanwhile, Lieutenant General Wang Kangping, from the Eastern Theatre Command, did attend the meeting but was passed over for promotion to full membership of the party’s Central Committee.
Another one of those dismissed, Lieutenant General Yin Hongxing, the political commissar of the Tibet Military Command, was missing when Xi carried out a surprise inspection in the western region last August.The other three commanders removed on Friday were General Li Fengbiao, the political commissar of the Western Theatre Command; General Guo Puxiao, the political commissar of the air force; and Lieutenant General Zhang Minghua, from the cyberspace force.

@JaidevJamwal Common in UN. Indian, Chinese and Pakistani military observers working in the same team and Indian Air Force helicopters flying in support of Pakistani battalion etc
@fw_naetoblaq Observe your natural sleep time for a few days. It would be much earlier. Say 8.00 to 10.00 PM. Have early dinner, stay away from electronic devices & request your family/roommates not to disturb you. Try & wake up early every day. Takes sometime to settle down to a routine
@JaidevJamwal Border Defence Regiments come under military districts/military sub districts(similar to Area/sub area in India). Both Xinjiang and Tibet are operational commands and improvement of infrastructure has been an ongoing process since late 2000s.
India should focus on developing multi-PNT system receivers - GPS, GLONASS and Beidou. It will be expensive but accurate, reliable and redundant. Even if one system fails, others will ensure that the system works.
We need to look urgently beyond ISR; at ISTAR which includes “targeting”. With our NaviC constellation non-functional, reliance on INS+GPS or GLONASS could lead to degraded weapon CEPs
@RealAirPower1 Without questioning the professionalism of @IAF_MCC, @usairforce at this time was trying to convince Congress about funding for 277 F-22 aircraft (ultimately reduced to 187). The loss of F-15s to other 4G fighters in Cope India played a major role in convincing Congress.
Key Takeaways from FT Article on Chinese capabilities after research of numerous original Chinese papers
1. China is constructing spaceports on artificial islands in Shandong province
2. first and second island chains in the western Pacific are central to China’s military concerns
3. Networked drone systems. A PLA diagram shows a high-altitude drone controlled from the ground, using airborne and satellite relays to stay connected over long distances and to track or strike moving targets
4. Near-space navigation platforms. A PLA diagram shows high-altitude navigation systems that can be quickly deployed to replace those disrupted or destroyed
5. Anti-aerospace vehicle operations. A PLA diagram shows high-altitude platforms launching missiles to intercept enemy spacecraft
6. Safety in numbers.Taken together, the PLA research reveals a force vying for control of space to protect the nervous system of modern warfare, but also to beat the US’s capabilities for a potential conflict in orbit. In this race, the most immediate area of competition is LEO, which has been transformed by Elon Musk’s Starlink.

@manojzxc Sure. Before that, suggest take a stock of how many existing projects have been successful. And whether there are adequate resources - funds, Human Resources and infrastructure - to handle them much less taking on additional projects as you are suggesting.
@phxtri@bourscheid@DHSgov Might that happen in law enforcement & military? possibly, yes. Is it expected or accepted from the Secret Service? Short answer, No. They are the elite of the US and have access to considerable resources in terms of personnel, equipment & training, than what the military/LEA do
