𝐀 𝐆𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐕𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐧𝐚𝐦’𝐬 𝐖𝐚𝐫 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 If you visit Ho Chi Minh City, you must not miss the Cu Chi Tunnels, located 70 km northwest of the city. The tunnels are an underground network stretching over 250 km, built from the late 1940s and expanded during the Vietnam War. This unique military structure showcases the ingenuity and resilience of the Vietnamese army. During the war, the tunnels served as a hiding place and a strategic base, including living quarters, kitchens, hospitals, weapon storage, and meeting rooms. The sophisticated booby traps and ventilation systems allowed soldiers to live and fight underground for extended periods without being detected. At Cu Chi Tunnels, guests can experience 𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 such as: 👉 Learn about the history of the Cu Chi Tunnels through a documentary film 👉 See the kitchen, living quarters, and meeting rooms.

Basics and simple (spontaneous) thinking can generate competitive advantage. Vietnamese war execution strategies during the war with America were unbelievable. More than 200 kms long complecated and well planned underground tunnel system was unbelievable and bought huge advantage for Vietnamese during the time. Guerilla war fare filled with jungle strategies was a nightmare for well equipped (conventional weapons) and well trained US soldiers. Wider jungle cover, unlimited entries with many bogus ones, availability of all the facilities (hospitals, cinemas, wepon stores,..) and committed manpower bought many advantages to Vietnamese. Even today's scenario is quite different with massive technological advancements, playing basics right brings guaranteed advantages. #lessons #vietnamesewar #basics #spontaneousthinking #competitiveedge

History teaches us many lessons if one pays attention. The mongols ruled over the greatest landmass on earth. But do we know how? Mongols were great horseriders, good at hit and run. But they lacked many war tactics which they learned eventually. They copied Chinese Armor, they copied Chinese horse Armor, they got gunpowder from the Chinese. They learnt siege warfare. They learnt Turk war strategy when they conquered Khwarazm. Also they brought several innovations. They introduced first intercontinental postal system by means of horses, they revolutionized military formation, they introduced diplomatic immunity, religious tolerance and meritocracy in society. This made the mongols one of the greatest forces the world has ever seen. In essence, one must always learn and evolve as well as optimize existing processes for practical solutions to succeed 🙂

🌟 Remembering the Historic 1971 Indo-Pakistani War 🌟 As we commemorate the anniversary of the 1971 Indo-Pakistani War, it is important to reflect on the lessons learned and the impact it had on both nations. This conflict, which lasted for 13 days, was a defining moment in the history of South Asia. 🔍 Historical Context: The 1971 war was sparked by the political and cultural tensions between East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) and West Pakistan (now Pakistan). The people of East Pakistan were fighting for their rights and autonomy, leading to a struggle for independence. 💥 Impact and Significance: The war resulted in a decisive victory for the Indian Armed Forces and marked the birth of a new nation, Bangladesh. It was a turning point that reshaped the geopolitical landscape of the region and had far-reaching consequences. 🌍 Geopolitical Implications: The 1971 war not only had an impact on India and Pakistan but also had broader implications for the global balance of power. It highlighted the importance of regional alliances and demonstrated the role of military force in resolving conflicts. 🙌 Lessons Learned: The 1971 war taught us the importance of diplomacy, dialogue, and peaceful resolution of disputes. It also emphasized the need for nations to respect the rights of their citizens and strive for equal representation. ✨ Honoring the Heroes: Let us take a moment to remember and honor the brave soldiers who fought during the 1971 war, regardless of the side they were on. Their sacrifices and valor will always be remembered as they fought for their respective causes. 🤝 Building Bridges: As we look back at the 1971 war, let us also focus on building strong relationships and fostering peace and cooperation between nations. It is through understanding, empathy, and collaboration that we can create a better future. #1971War #IndoPakConflict #RememberingHistory #BuildingBridges #PeaceAndCooperation 📩 Connect with me to discuss more about the historical significance of the 1971 Indo-Pakistani War and its impact on the region.

The fundamental issue for today's crises is the ideology that everything can be achieved through military might. The Western world thrives on this mindset because they have built institutional mechanisms in bureaucracy that keeps the military-industrial complex intertwined. Hence, whenever they simulate a situation, the military option is always open on the table. This temptation has always prevailed. Whereas when we look at countries like Russia, China and India, we see the urge to find political solutions without the need to create a pattern of escalation. These countries have an element of sovereignty in their strategic thought which helps them to accommodate other interests.

Was #ArabWorld lost 6th sense? Dear ArabLeaders! Did you ever think "Why Israel loaded up with weapons that can destroy the entire world.. why???? And your territories also you only loaded another country army and its base.... why? you probably say,....its for Iran.... you know what, its for you..! that you never understand because you totally lost your 6th sense!..... If you want to know about how to check, did I lose 6th sense? there are many ways... Simple steps: 1.Take a tourist visa to another country and 2.Watch your country. On top above 2-steps, need to use your brain with CS i. e. common sense.

Environmental Familiarity Another critical point is the environmental familiarity of neighboring Arab states. Unlike foreign invaders who may struggle with unfamiliar climates and terrains, local forces are accustomed to the geography and weather conditions of Israel. This familiarity can provide an advantage in military engagements, as local forces can maneuver more effectively in their home terrain.

All regular military forces need to adapt to the new ways of fighting wars as a matter of urgency. The West cannot afford to wait for the next funding cycle or the next defence review to be concluded. Failing to properly invest in defence, as a major war rages in Europe, is reckless in the extreme. Russia, China, North Korea and Iran are redefining the meaning of ‘Axis of Evil’. The false governmental dichotomy of choosing between having a large army OR relying on technology (I am particularly looking at the UK) has to end. As the war in Ukraine shows, countries need both a large army AND the extensive use of technology. The drone war is the most visible form of technological advancement in warfare but the largely-hidden world of electronic warfare is moving on in leaps and bounds. Here is an example of the transfer of tactics, techniques and procedures. This is a copy of Ukraine’s famous Baba Yaga drone now in service with rebel forces in Burma. Coming to a battlefield near you soon… https://lnkd.in/g_hBrtJU #osint #ukrainewar #burma #EOD

🇨🇳 China militia presence increases in South China Sea, report says The number of Chinese maritime militia vessels around key features across the South China Sea grew by 35% in 2023 as Beijing continued to bolster its presence, according to data by the Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative. A report based on satellite imagery of nine features in the sea, including reefs and shoals, identified an average of 195 militia ships present on any given day. The increase from a year earlier was accompanied by “a dramatic shift” in vessels to Mischief Reef in the summer of 2023 when more than 180 boats were observed gathered there from July. The reef is also claimed by the Philippines and Vietnam. “The reason for this increase, an anomaly compared to the previous year’s peak of only 37 vessels at Mischief, is unclear,” the report says #China

https://lnkd.in/eumSYyg3 Opinion- To deter Iran, US must rethink military basing in the Middle East Geography is destiny, but when it comes to U.S. bases in the Middle East, it needn’t be. Our current basing structure detracts from our ability to deter Iran — the core threat — because it reduces our ability to fight effectively in a high-intensity scenario. We need to overcome the tyranny of geography. In a full-blown war with Iran, these existing bases will be rendered...
