Tejas, a milestone in India’s self-reliant manufacturing and symbol of a step ahead to achieve strong defence strength. The aircraft is known for its performance and advancement in the field of technical manufacturing. It was appreciated by people during Bahrain International Air Show 2015, where Tejas made India proud by its fantastic performance.
Now, going to some other aspects and key points of Tejas, recently Sri Lanka has shown its Interest in India’s indigenously developed HAL Tejas aircraft. The Sri Lankan government has some key relations with the Indian government. The offer is successively made to overcome Pakistan’s stand to sell JF-17 to Sri Lanka, which was developed by Pakistan and China. Both the nations have given their proposal to the island nation. Pakistan, which is planning to replace its Kfirs (of Israel) and MIG 27, which are old enough to be changed to maintain the power on the ground and skies. Earlier, the news of Sri Lankan air force ordering a squadron of JF-17 was surfaced, but the authority itself denies the rumours.
Tejas has shown its best performance in Bahrain International Air show 2016. Pakistan’s JF-17 also showed its moves in the show. Now, turning to the comparison between the two aircraft, India’s Tejas has Kaveri engine and JF-17 has Klimov engine. The software of the jets is also different. Kaveri is General Engines 404, while JF-17 has got Turbofan engine type. Comparing the dimensions, the length of JF-17 is 2 meters more than Tejas and the wingspan is also wider than Tejas. But when it comes to speed, Tejas is faster than JF-17, but the range of Tejas is shorter than JF-17. The aim of production of both the aircraft is to phase out old and aging aircraft of the nations.
Owing to the current requirements, Indian air force is planning to acquire about 120 aircraft, out of which 100 have major changes in their radar, air strike and mid-air fueling functions. The naval version of the aircraft is also under production and DRDO is focusing on more powerful engine. Key points about HAL Tejas are as follows:
It is a multi-role light combat aircraft.
Indigenously developed by India
Navy and trainer variants are also in the queue
Need high maneuver during flight
Maximum speed – 1.6-1.8 Mach
Single-seated, single engine, light weighted
5 generation, Supersonic aircraft
Engine name – Kaveri
Top speed – 2025 km/h, range 850 kms
Tejas is a perfect match to replace India’s aging aircrafts bought from Soviet. While some other projects like 5th generation aircraft AMCA, will add more muscles to the Indian air forces. Rafale deal is also reported to be at its climax point and further LCH’s induction in the future will be another milestone in the manufacturing field.
With the whole nation talking about Smriti Irani’s speech in the Lok Sabha and the emotional and eye-opening answer to the opposition, one can’t help but think of what a powerful personality she is. Ever since she became the Human Resource Development Minister, some have praised her and some criticized her but she never gave in. Being the youngest in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s cabinet, Smriti Irani’s political career began when she joined the Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) in 2003.
From being an eminent actor to a politician there are major life lessons that we all can learn from this brave lady.
Patience and determination are essential.
Smriti Irani comes from a lower middle-class family and is the eldest of three sisters. Since her young days she has supported and taken care of her family. Since an early age she has always tried to take the load off her parents’ shoulders by helping them manage the house. Fulfilling her responsibilities has always been her priority. Her dream was to either be an IAS officer or a journalist but those dreams couldn’t come true as she was by a journalist in an interview. Today, journalists all wait for a chance to get to speak with her and get her comments. Its’ her patience and dedication that has got her well-deserved success.
Hard work always pays off. Always.
Stardom and success doesn’t come overnight, neither is the attainment of it easy and Smriti Irani is a perfect example of it. Before becoming the Television sensation, she too struggled and worked at McDonald’s Bandra, Mumbai. She used to clean tables and mop the floors. Meanwhile, she auditioned for various TV serials and waited for an opportunity. Her hard work finally paid off when she bagged the role of “Tulsi” in the very famous serial “Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi”, despite many objections from the production of the series to not cast her.
Celebrate diversity.
Smriti Irani comes from a family which truly shows the essence of our country; our diversity in culture. Her father being Punjabi-Maharashtrian and her mother being Bengali-Assamese and her husband being Parsi, it’s safe to say that she understands the nature and diversity of this country and is proud of it. No matter which part of the country you belong to, at the end of the day you’re an Indian. No matter what your mother tongue is, you sing the same national anthem as do 1.252 billion other people. Be proud to be a citizen of the largest democracy in the world.
Speak your mind. Be confident and believe in yourself and be just.
Taking the latest example of Smriti Irani’s speech in the Lok Sabha, those who’ve seen and heard the speech, you must have seen the way she spoke in front of the opposition. She presented documents, facts and did not fear anyone. She falsified all allegations put on her by providing evidence. While other politicians gave shockingly unbelievable comments on rape cases in our country, she always advocated capital punishment for rapists.
Education is not everything in life.
Many people have commented on her competency as an HRD minister but she has proved everyone wrong. She dropped out of school to pursue her acting career, there’s nothing wrong with that. Rabindranath Tagore and Dhirubhai Ambani too dropped out of college but they became very successful nonetheless. Let’s turn our attention to P Chidambaram and Manmohan Singh despite being educated couldn’t be effective administrators. As for Smriti Irani, she speaks well and let’s not judge her by her education. Let her work speak for itself.
Respect for the Indian Armed Forces.
Remember when General G.D. Bakshi couldn’t hold his tears back on national television? While people were busy debating, a soldier was shedding tears while defending the dignity of our national flag. Smriti Irani’s phone call to General G.D. Bakshi on ‘The News hour’ on Times Now makes us realize how thankless we are of the sacrifices soldiers make for our nation and for us. Patriotism (to most of us) unfortunately comes only on occasions. No nation can attain success and prosperity if it doesn’t have the basic respect and pride for its soldiers, its heroes and its saviours.
As citizens of this country, we at SSBCrack applaud and salute you for your spirit Mrs. Smriti Zubin Irani. Jai Hind!

Getting into the Armed Forces is all about a suitable personality that can be shaped as per their requirements. That is why SSB interview is scheduled for 5 days to analyse the complete personality of the candidate. There is no chance of mistake in the armed force. An officer is going to handle scores of soldiers. The Responsibility is high and error probability should be “zero”. So, this needs a specific personality trait. Now, the major question that arises here is how to construct that personality. We are having some points below that will explain you about how to make a suitable personality for Armed Forces.
Be honest – Your honesty is your identity card. What you say should be what you do. A bluffer can never be an officer. Honesty in behaviour keeps the things crystal clear and imposes your perfect image on others.
Let your action speak louder than your voice – Keep your voice in control and make people to judge you by your actions, rather than your voice or pitch. In SSB your actions, mind and words are analysed to decide your perfectness for the services.
Be lively and happy – An officer faces several kinds of situations and circumstances in his lifetime. Your moral and your liveliness makes the situation calm and this helps the officer to handle the situation.
Develop your productive interest and hobby – Your nature of working depends over your hobbies and interests. Your hobbies and interests should be productive rather than casual and time wasting like watching TV or chatting on FB, Whatsapp. If you are watching TV then watch some knowledge full shows. Productive hobbies and interest can be repairing basic machines, gathering technical knowledge, tracking, cycling, etc.
Confidence is all you need – Your confidence is checked in all SSB tests. Officer means responsibility, and confidence is the factor that drives responsibility. Your mind should always keep a motto on top that nothing is impossible for you. Then you can easily track new ways to reach your destination.
Control your temper – An officer is the one who controls his mind and temper in all situations. Losing temper can add problems. Your coordination with your team should be in a humble, coordinated and calm state. Try to solve problems in casual life without losing temper.
Curiosity makes – Questioning and inquiring is a good habit and this enhances the experience and widens our mind’s reach. The Armed Forces need a candidate who can complete a given work/ task with the given resources. It is not always that officers get all resources they need. They have to manage the task keeping the given resources in mind. And this can be achieved with the help of prior experience. Your risk, responsibility, stamina and determination to complete the work is all that expands our experience.
Do and make the task done – Your ultimate aim in Armed Forces will be to accept and make the task done on the orders of seniors. No matter how and why, your eye should be at the end of the task. Be a leader, operate your men, and make them to do the task as per your plan and stay involved in the task.
Conclusion – An officer’s personality is elite and is different from other people. They want a suitable mind for the job. It is clear that 10+2 entries are best for selection as the mind is on the route of grabbing new thing and it is easy to train them.

This will ease the assessors to get what you want to convey and you to express your ideas clearly. You can use Hindi words also, if not getting any correct word in English.
Don’t describe – Many times, freshers make this mistake by just describing the picture and resources. Sometimes, candidates start the story and turns towards its description. Well, the basic thing you have to do is to make a story over it. You have to squeeze out an idea out of the picture. And garnish it with your experience and active use of mind.
The story should be normal – Try to make a normal story with the hero being a normal person like you. Your situation, planning and organising your resources should be in a normal way rather than complexity or entangling way.
Check the picture deeply – Entire psychology is a matter of perception. And perception is based on the observation. Your observation can drive your story to a new level. Observe the picture and hammer your mind to break out new ideas.
Enclose story in given time – Your matter of story should be coordinated with the time given. Average story can be written in 12-15 lines, which is sufficient and can be covered in a given time. So utilize the time for observing the picture and deciding the theme of the story. This will simplify your story writing.
The character should be of your age and personality – Your hero/ protagonist should be of your age, physic and should resemble your nature. Don’t make any story where the lead character is either out of the world or different from your personality. Psychologist want a story over you, not any fairy tale or comic story. So if you are healthy, take actions like it. And if you are a thin guy, try to keep working in the story like that.
Use resources and ease planning – Every picture/ story situation has some hidden resources either shown or to be assumed as per you situation and planning framed. For example, if your area of action is market, college or any other busy area, then people can be a resource. The only thing to remember is to know the correct way and timing to use those resources. Availability and use of resources is a matter of experience.
The composition should be practical – The story that you write in TAT, should be practical. Don’t cast yourself as a superhero or don’t try to make the story destructive or heavily problematic. These shows negative side of your mentality. And be practical in the situations you frame. Being practical expresses your experience, way of handling the situation and highlights your OLQs.
Conclusion – TAT is all about your perception toward any giving situation framed on screen. SSB panel wants your response over that situation to access your past experience and use of mind in day to day life. Remember, make a story that resembles your behavior and nature, because psychology access your mind and this must resemble what you are doing in GTO and what you are speaking in an interview. So be what you are, keep your mind active and concentrate it to the test.
