  • Defence News: China preparing for modern warfare – not humans, robotic soldiers, dogs to be used in combat next |

    China has been holding military exercises around Taiwan. It has also entered into skirmishes with India on multiple occasions. China’s People’s Liberation Army recently carried out a two-day large-scale military exercise surrounding Taiwan. During a recent joint military exercise with Cambodia, the PLA displayed the capabilities of its robotic dog which has been equipped to handle and shoot using high-end guns.

    The video of the robotic dog participating in the military drill has gone viral on social media. Chinese state media Global Times reported that the technical sophistication of the intelligent equipment shows that it can greatly enhance combat efficiency and reduce casualties. As per reports, countries like China, America, and other developed countries are working to develop human like robots that can be deployed in wars.

    Robot Dog Soldier

    The robotic dog weighs 15 kilograms and is equipped with a 4D super-wide-angle sensing system. As per the reports, the robotic dog has a battery and power system that allows it to operate for two to four hours. It can also perform manoeuvres such as forward and backward movement, jumping, crouching, and independently arranging movement routes to avoid obstacles to close in on its target in less time. It’s operated using a remote control and sends data to the command centre in real-time.

    During the recent drill, the robot was using QBZ-95 assault rifle. As per Chinese media reports, another bigger version of the robot dog weighs more than 50 kilograms and can conduct armed assault missions. The Global Time said, “The drills show that the PLA has been intensively testing multiple types of robot dogs in terms of technologies and tactics….Capable of accompanying troops in high-risk tasks, robot dogs can greatly enhance combat efficiency and reduce casualty.”

    The world is already witnessing the extensive use of explosive drones by Ukraine against Russia. The drones are so lethal that it doesn’t give time to soldiers or tanks to escape.

    Where does the Indian Army stand?

    Countries across the globe are increasingly using modern warfare equipment including drones and robots. The Indian Army is still behind China or the United States in this. At present, the Indian Army has been spotted only with the reconnaissance robotic dogs. However, as per reports, the army is looking to procure or develop AI-enabled tactical combat robots also called a tactical Unmanned Ground Combat Vehicle (UGCV), similar to one being used by China.

    The People’s Anti-Fascist Front (PAFF), an offshoot of Pakistan-based terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), has reportedly claimed responsibility for the deadly ambush. Former Chief Ministers of Jammu and Kashmir – Ghulam Nabi Azad and Mehbooba Mufti – have strongly condemned the attack.

    Swift Response Amidst Ambush

    The targeted vehicles were en route to a cordon-and-search operation when the terrorists launched the ambush. According to Jammu-based Defence PRO Lt Col Suneel Bartwal, the joint search operation was initiated based on “hard intelligence” about the presence of terrorists. As additional forces moved to the site, the terrorists opened fire on the Army vehicles—a truck and a Gypsy. The troops promptly responded, leading to a tragic outcome with four soldiers losing their lives and three sustaining injuries.

    Anti-Terror Operation Underway

    The operation is currently in progress, and officials are actively working to gather further details. Disturbing images and videos from the site depict the aftermath, with blood on the street, broken helmets, and shattered windscreens of the Army vehicles. There is speculation that soldiers might have engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the terrorists during the intense confrontation, and there are concerns that the terrorists may have taken away arms belonging to the targeted soldiers.

    As the operation unfolds, authorities are diligently working to gather more information and mitigate the threat posed by terrorists in the region. This incident follows a recent major gunfight in the Dharmsal belt of the Bajimaal forest area in the nearby Rajouri district, where five Army personnel, including two captains, lost their lives last month.

    The stretch between Dhera Ki Gali and Bufliaz has been a hotspot for violence, with dense forests leading to Chamrer and Bhata Dhurian forests. The region has witnessed multiple encounters this year, resulting in 54 casualties, including 19 security personnel and 28 terrorists. Officials attribute the surge in violence to “desperate attempts from across the border” to revive terrorism in the region.

    In the face of this tragic incident, the authorities are grappling with the ongoing challenge of maintaining security in the border region, where terrorists have been persistent in their attempts to infiltrate.

  • Fighting Second World War To Thwarting Naga Insurgents: The Story Of Assam Rifles Warrior Havildar Mering Ao |

    In a remarkable encounter, Lieutenant General PC Nair, Director General of Assam Rifles, had the privilege of meeting a true hero, Havildar Mering Ao, who not only fought valiantly in the Second World War but also played a crucial role in countering Naga insurgents, earning him a prestigious gallantry award. Lt Gen PC Nair recently visited 12 Assam Rifles in Mokokchung on December 3, 2023, where he had the opportunity to meet this living legend and gain insights into his extraordinary life.

    Born in 1920 in Sungratsu village, Mokokchung district, Havildar Mering Ao had a childhood dream of donning the uniform, Lieutenant General PC Nair said in a Facebook post. His dream came true in 1940 when he was enlisted as a soldier in 3 Assam Rifles during a recruitment rally in Mokokchung. His battalion became part of the famed ‘V’ Force in Burma during World War-II, tasked with providing early warning, undertaking guerrilla activities, and operating behind Japanese lines.


    “Hav Mering Ao’s exemplary service saw him excel in intelligence work, with his platoon successfully carrying out reconnaissance of Japanese defensive locations in Burma,” Lieutenant General PC Nair said on Facebook. His bravery continued in the Battle of Kohima alongside 1st Punjab Regiment, where his platoon inflicted heavy casualties on the Japanese. Apart from his military prowess, he was also an accomplished athlete, winning events at the Assam Rifles Meet in 1949 and participating in the National athletics competition.

    Post World War-II, Havildar Mering Ao actively participated in operations against Naga militants in the 50s and 60s. His remarkable courage was showcased on August 12, 1956, during an anti-insurgency operation in Nagaland, where he played a pivotal role in neutralizing insurgents, earning him the Ashok Chakra (Class III), now known as ‘Shaurya Chakra,’ on April 21, 1960.

    Retired since 1960, Havildar Mering Ao’s contributions extended beyond the military. He served as the Gaon Budha (village head) for an extended period, working tirelessly for the development of his village. His sense of humor and unwavering spirit were evident when asked about his health in comparison to his 98-year-old wife, Senliyangla Ao.

    In a surprising turn of events, Lt Gen PC Nair discovered Havildar Mering Ao’s love for singing Mohammad Rafi songs. On request, the war hero showcased his musical talent, singing with incredible passion and rhythm, defying his age.

    Recognizing the need to preserve and share the first-hand accounts of this living legend, the Assam Rifles has decided to publish a comprehensive story on the Life and Times of Havildar Mering Ao. For them, he is not just a war hero but a legend, and it’s time for the world to know about this remarkable individual whose accomplishments continue to inspire.
