6 Defence Indigenously developed Light Combat Aircraft Tejas has successfully fired an airto-air beyond visual range (BVR) missile. Major milestone achieved Tejas has demonstrated its overall capability as an effective combat jet, and inched closer to receive final operational clearance. This will expedite issuance of the Final Operational Clearance to the aircraft developed by state-run HAL and DRDO.

7 When we talk about, capability of indigenous equipment, the Make in India story, around 90% warship construction work is done in India including the integration of warship.

8 AIIMS Healthcare services at AIIMS in New Delhi remained affected for the third day today as resident doctors stuck to their demand to suspend a senior doctor who had allegedly slapped one of their colleagues. Only the emergency and ICU services functioned and routine surgeries remained cancelled. The senior doctor, who heads a department has tendered a written apology and proceeded on leave on the directions of an internal probe panel.

9 CAATSA Trump Administration is keenly aware that punishing India to punish Russia under a new sanctions law would be a grave mistake. If India becomes collateral damage in Washington s desire to make Russia pay for its sins then the last 20 years progress is out of the door forever. 1998: India s nuclear tests US sanctions were applied on India

10 It took a decade of hard work to fix the cracks between India and USA US National Security Strategy envisions an expansion of defence and security cooperation with India and welcomes its emergence as a leading global power. Now what is going to happen is that at one time USA is calling India a Strategic Partner and on the other hand it is going to apply sanctions on it. This time sanctions will hurt USA more than India.

11 President Trump is not happy to sign Countering America s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act. Trump said it will drive China, Russia and North Korea much closer together. Secretary of Defence James Mattis: argued strongly in favour of exempting India from CAATSA in front of the Senate. Sanctioning India, Vietnam and Indonesia would eventually paralyse the US and reward Russia, he said. Chief of the Pacific Command (PACOM), Admiral Philip Davidson said the same thing.

12 CAATSA primarily targets Russia but it ropes in any country that trades with Russia s defence and intelligence sectors, which India does. New Delhi is in advanced talks with Moscow to buy the S-400 air defence system, besides frigates and helicopters, all of which can potentially trigger sanctions. Mattis has requested the US Congress to tweak CAATSA and give the State Department the authority to grant a waiver.

13 Another option CAATSA provides is to delay the imposition of sanctions for 180 days which the administration can do without going back to the Congress and keep renewing the 180-day relief indefinitely. The reality is that India will continue to buy Russian arms for the foreseeable future even as it diversifies purchases the US is already India s second largest weapons supplier.
