There are some differences between a good leader and an effective manager. There are parameters defined for a manager, his grade performance defines his effectiveness. Leaders should be judged by higher requirements, at the time of conflict and usually surprising.  An effective manager would have some skills of leadership in his persona and similarly, an effective leader has management skills.

So, what is the difference between both, the fundamental, singular difference between management and leadership is that leadership is about effective change-making and the single-minded application and enforcement of that change.

Differentiation between a Good Leader and an Effective Manager
Defence officers, overall, must have a breadth of long-term vision, be decisive and independent, act and stand firm, be a warrior, speak openly, plainly and frankly, learn quickly from defeats and mistakes, go forward with unswerving fortitude, and know and appreciate the requirements and interests of subordinates.
Conversely, management is not necessarily a routine process and these skills can be taught and also be learned. Management can be effective without having; genuine leadership.

The Parachute Regiment is the elite main Special Forces/airborne regiment of the Indian Army. The parachute regiment consisting of PARA and PARA (SF) battalions is the elite volunteer force of the Indian Army. Because of its specified role, the regiment needs to be kept at optimum level of operational efficiency and physical fitness. Towards this end, this specially selected manpower should be comparatively young, physically fit and mentally robust, intelligent, innovative and highly motivated so as to successfully accomplish the assigned operational tasks.

  • Regiment’s Centre: Bangalore with the training establishment at Agra. Recruit training is imparted at Bangalore whereas Para training is imparted at Agra.
  • Regimental Insignia: An open parachute with wings spread out and a dagger placed upright, between the wings. The other badge, shown on the right, is used by the four Parachute (Special Forces) Battalions.
  • Motto: Shatrujeet (The Conqueror).
    Parachute Regiment, Paratroopers of Indian Army

Parachute Regiment Manning policy

Pre-Commission: Volunteer GCs from IMA/OTA will be commissioned at the scale of two officers per battalion per year. These officers will be allotted a parent regiment by MS Branch.
Post Commission: Officers from all Arms and Services can volunteer for the Parachute Regiment subject to them having less than five years’ service on the day they volunteer, being in medical category SHAPE-I and being graded`EXCELLENT’ in BPET. These officers will retain their affiliated to their Regiment/Corps (as parent regiment).
As recognition of its distinguished service, the regiment was presented its new colours by the President on 06 October 1967.

A Warrior Bows Out MiG-21 FL

A Warrior Bows Out MiG-21 FL

India’s first supersonic jet fighter the MiG-21 FL was decommissioned after 50 years of service on 11th December 2013. As four MiG-21 FL (Type-77) combat jets streaked across the sky in a box formation for the last time at the Kalaikunda airbase in West Bengal’s, an era in the history of Indian military aviation came to an end. India’s first supersonic jet fighter the MiG-21 FL will be decommissioned after 50 years of service on Wednesday. The aircraft had played a crucial role in the 1971 war with Pakistan. Retiring the FL model, which is the oldest, is the first step to the Air Force’s plan to retire the ageing MiG-21 fleet.

In the first-ever supersonic air combat that ensued over the sub-continent in 1971, an Indian Mig-21 FL claimed a PAF F-104 Starfighter with its internal twin-barrelled guns alone and by the end of hostilities the IAF Mig-21s had claimed 4 Pakistani F-104s, 2 F-6s, one each F-86 Sabre and Lockheed C-130 Hercules, it said.

A Warrior Bows Out MiG-21 FL
The pin-point accurate attack on the Governor’s House in Dhaka by IAF pilots flying the MiG-21s proved to be a turning point in the war forcing the adversary to negotiate an eventual surrender, it said.

Watershed Moment

Chief of the Air Staff Air Chief Marshal N.A.K Browne said: “Today’s  event marks a watershed moment in the IAF’s history as we reach the end of nearly five decades of remarkable operational service rendered by this iconic fighter. It is no wonder, therefore, that five generations of our combat pilots, including myself, who have ‘cut teeth’ on this veritable fighter swear by its unmatched combat prowess.”
The fact that around 80 per cent of the serving fighter pilots had flown the old workhorse proved its reliability in battle, where it dominated over enemy aircraft by means of its agility, fast acceleration and ability to turn around swiftly.
The fighter made aviation records. At least by name, it is the most-produced supersonic jet aircraft in aviation history and the most-produced combat aircraft since the Korean War, and it had the longest production run of a combat aircraft.
As of August 2013, at least 252 MiG-21s are known to be in operation. However, the plane has been plagued by safety problems. Since 1970 more than 170 Indian pilots and 40 civilians have been killed in MiG-21 accidents. At least 14 MiG-21s had crashed between 2010 and 2013. 
Besides accomplishing major operational feats, the MiG-21 also ushered a revolutionary enhancement in the technological and manufacturing capabilities of the indigenous aerospace industry. With the phasing out of the MiG-21 FL, an era of relentless performance, precision deliverance and intimidating performance will also come to an end.

Even though one cannot be trained for Pilot Aptitude Battery Test, it could be helpful to know the procedure of the test so that a candidate may prepare himself mentally for the test and may approach the test with full confidence.

The PABT test includes:
  • Written test based on instrument reading.
  • Light control test based on sensory motor apparatus.
  • Drum test to check control of velocity.
Lets first discuss what is PABT or Pilot Aptitude Battery Test is:

Instrument Reading Test

Aircrafts have several instruments which indicate several parameters which the pilot has to monitor. This test aim’s at checking whether the candidate can read the instrument or not, and thereby make some mental calculations. The instruments used are:
  • Magnetic Compass: Also known as Gyroscope, this gauge indicates the direction of the flight. It has a suspended needle which always point towards the true North. With respect to the true North, one has to read the direction in which the aircraft is flying.
  • Air Speed Indicator: This instrument provides the speed of the air is a vital parameter for flying operations. This instrument provides the indicated air speed that is required to be corrected for certain instruments and positional errors to arrive at True Air Speed in kilometers or miles.
  • Altimeter: This instrument provides the height at which the aircraft is flying. This instrument has three needles, of which the smallest indicates height in multiples of 10,000, the middle one indicates height in multiples of 1000 and the largest one indicates height in multiples of 100. The reading is either in feet or yard.
  • Artificial Horizon: This instrument provides a reference in terms of horizon for indicating climb, descent, right turn and left turn of the aircraft.
  • Turn Indicator: This instrument indicates the turn on either sides of the aircraft. In turning left, the black ball remains in the middle and the white needle moves to right and when turning right, he white needle shifts to the left.
  • Climb and Descent Indicator: This instrument indicates the position of the aircraft I terms of climbing or descending. When the aircraft is climbing, the needle moves upwards and vice-versa.

Light Control Test

In this test, the candidate is made to sit in front of a CRT monitor. The chartered path of the flight is defined in that and the candidate is asked to fly along the chartered path by keeping the light representing the aircraft on the monitor, on the chartered path. The instrument stimulates real time situations like loss of height, tilting, etc. and the candidate is expected to control using the joystick, foot pedals and light lever which are similar to actual controls on an aircraft.

Light Control Test Video

Drum Test

This is another test to check the control skills of the candidate. In this, there is a drum of about eight feet length and one feet diameter. There are lines marked on the surface of the drum with some holes on each line. The candidate is given a knob to control that is very sensitive. The drum is rotated and the candidate is expected to align the knob with the lines on the drum as it rotates. Since, the knob is very sensitive, it is not easy to do so. This aptitude is required to maintain the flight under harsh weather conditions when the velocity of the wind disturbs the flight trajectory.

India Successfully Test Fired Pinaka Rockets

Pinaka was test fired successfully from the range of Chandipur-on-sea on 19th december 2013. Pinaka is multiple barrel rocket launcher produced by defence research and development organization (DRDO) for the Indian army. Pinaka rockets played an important role in the kargil war to neutralize the enemy’s power on tiger hill. 

Development of Pinaka started in 1986 as the replacement of BM-21 grad1 launchers and the tests were started from 1995.These tests are as a result of the recent development in the rocket system as it has been upgraded to second generation mark II launchers. The older version has a range of 40 km and the latest version now has the strike power of beyond 55km. Pinaka mark-ii will undergo some more tests before been inducted into the army. Pinaka battery consists of: six launcher vehicles, each with 12 rockets; six loader-cum-replenishment vehicles; three replenishment vehicles; two Command Post vehicles (one stand by) with a Fire Control computer, and the DIGICORA MET radar.

India Successfully Test Fired Pinaka Rockets
The unguided rocket system has the capacity to neutralize large areas with rapid salvos. Pinaka system can fire a salvo of 12 rockets in 44 seconds, the sources said, adding the battery can neutralize the target within 3.9 km. 

The Important features of Pinaka is

  • The strike range has been increased from 40 to 55 kms.
  • Microprocessor allows the system to be fully automatic as well as manual control
  • Use of console makes it easy to use and control the launchers.
  • Night vision gears for the driver and the crew.
  • Neutralization/destruction of the exposed troop concentrations, ‘B’ vehicles and other such soft targets
  • Cabin pressurization for crew protection in addition to blast shields
  • Total operational time optimized for shoot & scoot capability.
  • Cheaper in cost then the other Multi barrel rocket launchers systems.
  • Precise and effective and the accuracy is very high.
  • Indigenously developed and the designed according the requirements of Indian army.

Modes of Operation

  • Autonomous mode: In the automous mode the microprocessor plays an important role The launcher is fully controlled by a fire control computer (FCC). The microprocessor automatically executes the commands received from the FCC and it executes the precise coordinates, giving the operator the status of the system on displays and indicators.
  • Stand-alone mode: In this mode, the launcher is not linked to the fire control computer(FCC) , and the operator at the console enters all the coordinates and the commands for laying of the launcher system and selection of firing parameters.
  • Remote mode: In this mode, a remote control unit carried outside the cabin up to a distance of about 200 m can be used to control the launcher system, the launcher site and to unload the fired rocket pods from the launcher.
  • Manual mode: All launcher operations including laying of the system and firing are manually controlled. This mode is envisaged in the situations where the microprocessor fails or where there is no power to activate the microprocessor-based operator’s console.
