If you put some pressure on brain cells you will see some points in the same news.
1. India already has over 100 Indian military personnel stationed at the Ayni airbase in Tajikistan
2. Tajik President Emomali Rahmon’s visit to India last August, during which the long-standing bilateral partnership was elevated to a strategic partnership
3. two of the newly-acquired C-130J "Super Hercules" aircraft of the IAF airlifted medical stores, equipment and 55 personnel
4. Indian Army, IAF and Border Roads Organisation personnel had worked hard to upgrade the airbase, which includes extension of the runway and construction of three aircraft hangars, an air-control tower and perimeter fencing around the base, at a cost of over Rs 100 crore.
a.) The sudden rush or movement of military personals will raise a alarm bell we are taking it step by step.
b.) It will be a RAW base to look into our interests in Afghanistan, pakistan, Central Asia.
c.) The air base is now equipped to land and base any type of modern aircrafts as its runway is extended, hangers are build while its fencing will make it secure and secrete from general eyes.
d.) When India will have enough Su30MKIs/Rafale/Mig 30 to spare them for this base we will build a full fledged fighter aircraft base.
It may not be a attack base but it will divert the assets of PAF/PA and make them thin at our borders.
Stupid Indian all you did was regurgitate the article, you didn't and failed to refute a single point.
1. India already has over 100 Indian military personnel stationed at the Ayni airbase in Tajikistan
100 is futile, it is nothing in terms of effectiveness or "geo-strategic" plans as the article discusses.
3. two of the newly-acquired C-130J "Super Hercules" aircraft of the IAF airlifted medical stores, equipment and 55 personnel
That isn't going to give you any "strategic advantage" in Central Asia or a foothold in Central Asia. C-130J is a transport plane, not like it's used for offensive operations, simply transport of personnel and cargo.
4. Indian Army, IAF and Border Roads Organisation personnel had worked hard to upgrade the airbase, which includes extension of the runway and construction of three aircraft hangars, an air-control tower and perimeter fencing around the base, at a cost of over Rs 100 crore.
Yes, because the air strip or "military outpost" is a dormant, low tech, primitive air strip for years and that's why the Tajiks leased it for a high-price to a stupid country like India, making the Indians think they were getting a "foothold" in Central Asia. Having an air-control tower, perimeter fencing, three aircraft hangars isn't giving you "strategic" advantage, it is more of a show piece than anything else. Unless, India decides to concentrate offensive hardware to Ayni AF base.
d.) When India will have enough Su30MKIs/Rafale/Mig 30 to spare them for this base we will build a full fledged fighter aircraft base.
Future prediction, you don't really know that, you act as if you make the decisions for the Indian Government.
It may not be a attack base but it will divert the assets of PAF/PA and make them thin at our borders.
It just makes for an easier target, this base is a fruit for picking.
