Addressing the Pakistan Parliament, Khan said the move was a ‘first step’ to open negotiations with India, coming just days after the two countries engaged in an air battle for the first time since 1971, sparking fears of hostilities spiralling out of control. Varthaman, who was flying a Mig-21, was shot down after an aerial face-off between Pakistan and India earlier this week, in the wake of air strikes by India on a terror camp in Pakistan. The Indian government had pressed for immediate release for the pilot and had been under public pressure to bring him back after he went missing in action following in an aerial encounter between the forces of the two countries. International pressure for both India and Pakistan had been fierce to de-escalate tensions. US president Donald Trump earlier in the day <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/india/donald-trump-says-us-has-some-reasonably-decent-news-on-reducing-indo-pak-tensions-3594051.html">hinted</a> that he had some ‘reasonably attractive' news that the heightened tension between the two countries might end soon. On Wednesday, India’s Ministry of External Affairs had held meetings with a Pakistani envoy and handed over Pakistan documents containing details of Jaish-e-Mohammed's involvement in the February 14 Pulwama terror attack, which killed over 40 CRPF security personnel.

Pakistan says it will release captured Indian pilot as a ‘peace gesture’

ISRO on Wednesday announced that four Indian Air Force pilots have been selected for the ambitious 'Gaganyaan' manned space mission programme, whose astronaut training would commence soon in Russia. A day after Union Minister Jitendra Singh said India will launch Chandrayaan-3 most likely in 2020, Indian Space Research Organisation chairman K Sivan said the activities for the mission were going on very smoothly and the take-off may shift to next year. Addressing a press conference here, Sivan said four Indian Air Force airmen have been identified for the country's maiden manned space mission and their astronauts training would start from the third week of this month in Russia. "We had good progress in 2019 as regards Gaganyaan. And many of the designs were completed and astronauts' selection process is over. Now four are identified for training purpose..that process is also completed," Sivan said. On Chandrayaan-3, he said the work was going on smoothly. "One major announcement I wanted to make here officialy is that the government has approved Chandrayaan-3 and the project has been formed. The activities are going on for Chandrayaan-3 very smoothly and its configuration will be similar to that of Chandrayaan-2," he said. It will have a lander, rover and a propulsion module, he noted. Asked about the launch date, he said it would be announced only when the project nears completion. He also said the launch of Chandrayaan-3 may shift to next year. Work on both Chandrayaan-3 and Gaganyaan, was going on simultaneously, he added. Noting that Chandrayaan-2 orbiter's mission life was seven years, he said it would be used for the third lunar mission as well. Giving an estimate of the project cost for Chandrayaan-3, Sivan said, "This particular cost of lander and rover configuration thing is about Rs 250 crore. The total cost of the project is Rs 615 crore." The objective of Chandrayaan-3 would also be to land in the lunar south pole, he said. On the launch pad to come up at Tuticorin in Tamil Nadu, Sivan said, "apart from the space port at the Sathish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, the land acquisition for a second one has been initiated in Tuticorin district." As regards the choice of location, he said, "It was mainly to get advantages of southward launch especially for SSLV (Small Satellite Launch Vehicle)." Observing that the pad, once set up, would be used for launching SSLVs initially, he said it may be expanded for big ones in future. On future missions, he said, "25 missions have been planned for 2020." "The missions that were planned in 2019 and could not be completed would be finished by March this year," he said. Asked what went wrong with the Vikram lander of Chandrayaan-2, he said it was due to velocity reduction failure. "The velocity reduction failure was due to internal reasons," he said. Chandrayaan-2 mission was India's first attempt to land on the lunar surface. ISRO had planned the landing on the south pole of the lunar surface. However, Vikram hard-landed. Sivan also congratulated the Chennai based techie who recently located the Vikram lander that hard-landed and maintained that it was the space agency's policy not to release pictures of the crashed module. The space agency has sought an allocation of Rs 14,000 crore from the Centre in the budget for 2020-21 for various projects. India has signed agreements with Russia and France for cooperation on the ambitious Gaganyaan mission, which was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his Independence Day speech in 2018.

According to media reports, the Wing Commander chose to return to his squadron in Srinagar rather than visiting his home in Chennai. The pilot was captured by the Pakistan Army on February 27 in the Pakistan administered Kashmir after his MiG 21 was hit following IAF's air strike on the <keyword id="119193" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jaish-e-Mohammed">Jaish-e-Mohammed</keyword> camp in Pakistan's Balakot, in the wake of the February 14 <keyword id="43212" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Pulwama">Pulwama</keyword> terror attack which left 40 Central Reserve Police Force troopers dead. "At the moment, the officer has decided to stay with his men and machines in Srinagar and would be required to come back from New Delhi for a review by medical board which will decide on his fitness for flying fighter planes," reported ANI quoting sources. Following the strikes in February, Varthaman was held in Pakistan captivity for over 60 hours before his release to India by Pakistan as a ‘peace gesture’. Later, he was whisked from the Attari Joint Check Post (JCP) complex under tight security to the Amritsar International Airport for Delhi. After his return, he completed two-week debriefing by security agencies and went on four-weeks leave. Varthaman will reportedly undergo review of his fitness soon after his sick leave period to assess whether he can return to fighter cockpit or not.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Israel said it dropped 6,000 bombs on the Gaza Strip during the first six days of war with Hamas.</li><li>That's more bombs than the US-led coalition dropped in any month during the fight against ISIS. </li></ul>Israel has been at war with Hamas for less than a week, and its forces are already expending a massive amount of ordnance.In just six days, Israeli fighter jets dropped more bombs on the Gaza Strip than the US-led coalition dropped in any month of its fight against the Islamic State, even during the height of the multi-national air campaign against the terror group. Israel began its aerial bombardment of Gaza on Saturday immediately after Hamas militants launched a series of surprise terror attacks against the country, killing at least 1,300 people — mostly civilians — and injuring over 3,200 more. The group also took an estimated 150 people hostage.By Thursday, the Israeli Air Force (IAF) <a href="https://twitter.com/IAFsite/status/1712484101763342772">said</a> it had dropped "about 6,000 bombs against Hamas targets in the densely populated coastal enclave." The relentless campaign, which was ongoing as of Friday evening local time, has reduced entire neighborhoods to rubble and sent people scrambling for shelter. At least 1,500 Palestinians have been killed and more than 6,600 injured, according to Gaza's <a href="https://www.moh.gov.ps/portal/gaza-ministry-of-health-update-thu-10-30-pm-12-october-2023-gaza-1537-palestinians-killed-including-500-children-and-2760-women-since-the-start-of-escalation-on-the-morning-of-7/">health ministry</a>. <div type="image" title="An explosion on a residential tower caused by Israeli raids in the northern Gaza Strip on October 12, 2023 in Gaza City, Gaza." height="2001" width="3000" msid="104409172" hostid="261" sizebytes="170994"></div>The figure provided by the IAF far exceeds the maximum number of bombs dropped in any given month from 2015 to 2019 during Operation Inherent Resolve, which is the US military's name for the multinational campaign against ISIS.According to <a href="https://www.afcent.af.mil/Portals/82/Documents/Airpower%20summary/(U)%20APPROVED%20Dec%202019%20APS%20Data.pdf?ver=2020-01-27-023439-697">unclassified airpower data</a> published in December 2019 by US Air Forces Central Command (AFCENT), during the first two years of that stretch, the coalition averaged some 2,500 bombs dropped each month on targets across Iraq and Syria.But the air war seriously intensified the following year, 2017, with an average of around 3,300 bombs dropped each month from fighter jets and drones. May, June, and July all saw the coalition release over 4,000 weapons, new highs during Operation Inherent Resolve. But that August saw a record 5,075 bombs dropped, marking the only time that figure ever surpassed 5,000. The intense bombing coincided with the brutal months-long <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-40271450">Battle of Raqqa</a> — a Syrian city that served as the de-facto ISIS capital in 2014."Roughly half of all munitions dropped that month by coalition aircraft were released over Raqqa," the RAND Corporation, a California-based think tank, wrote in a 2021 <a href="https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/research_reports/RRA300/RRA388-1/RAND_RRA388-1.pdf">analysis</a> about the air campaign against ISIS.

Both Israeli and US officials — including President Joe Biden — have compared Hamas to ISIS in the wake of last weekend's assaults.That IAF figure also tops some annual tallies recorded during the US war in Afghanistan, in which there was no year between 2013 and 2018 where American forces dropped more than 4,400 bombs on the country, according to the AFCENT data.In 2018 and 2019 those figures rose to 7,362 and 7,423, respectively, surpassing the Israeli figures. But with at least 250,000 square miles and 40 million people, Afghanistan is significantly larger than Gaza, which is around 140 square miles and has roughly 2 million inhabitants. Israeli officials have signaled that the ongoing air campaign — which has caused much <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/israel-hamas-destruction-gaza-bombings-air-raids-war-attack-drone-2023-10">destruction</a> — <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/israel-bombing-start-offensive-only-intensify-ground-fight-2023-10">is a precursor</a> to a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/israel-invasion-gaza-root-out-hamas-would-be-nasty-fight-2023-10">major ground offensive</a> in Gaza.

Late on Thursday, the military informed the United Nations that over 1 million people living in northern Gaza <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/israel-demand-million-people-leave-northern-gaza-impossible-un-2023-10">need to immediately evacuate</a> to the southern part of the coastal enclave, which has been under an Israeli siege for several days. The order was met with <a href="https://twitter.com/DrTedros/status/1712906203070640508">alarm</a> by UN and human rights organization officials, who are urging deescalation as a way to prevent the worsening of an already dire humanitarian situation.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) contingent was given a grand welcome as it landed at the Hyakuri Air Base, about 80 km northeast of Tokyo, on Tuesday for the inaugural joint Air Exercise between India and <keyword id="6355311" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="japan" source="Orion">Japan</keyword> that kicks off on January 12. A traditional water cannon salute was given to the IAF's frontline Su-30 MKI fighter aircraft, four of which are participating, along with two C-17s and one IL-78, in Exercise 'Veer Guardian-2023' to be held till January 26. The Indian contingent also includes Squadron Leader Avani Chaturvedi who is the first IAF woman fighter pilot to participate in an air exercise abroad. Hyakuri Air Base Commander Major General Ishimura Takahisa, who welcomed the IAF contingent along with India's Ambassador to Japan Sibi George, affirmed that both countries will continue to promote <keyword id="32723" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="defence" source="Orion">defence</keyword> cooperation in order to maintain and strengthen the Free and Open Indo-Pacific (FOIP) region. The Japan Air Self Defence Force (JASDF) will be represented by four Mitsubishi F-2 multirole fighters and four F-15 aircraft in the joint exercise. The Hyakuri Air Base, located in the Omitama City of Ibaraki Prefecture, is the only base in the Tokyo metropolitan area that has a combat air wing. It was home to the former Navy Hyakurigahara Air Corps, which was established in 1938. In 2010, Hyakuri Airport was shared and the Ibaraki Airport terminal building was completed. In 2019, Japan Air Force's 302nd Squadron (F-4) was moved to Misawa Air Base and upgraded to the F-35A. One year later, the reconnaissance squadron was abolished and the 3rd Squadron (F-2) moved from Misawa Air Base to Hyakuri Air Base.

Air Chief Marshal Chaudhari was given a detailed presentation by Base Commander Ishimura on the units, equipment, etc. during his visit.

Held at the headquarters of the Japanese Defence Ministry ahead of the second India-Japan 2 + 2 Foreign and Defence Ministerial, the discussion finalised a roadmap to step up bilateral defence cooperation and engage in more military exercises. This also included the holding of the first joint fighter jet drills, reflecting the growing security cooperation between the two sides. "This exercise will thus be another step in deepening strategic ties and closer defence cooperation between the two countries," the Indian Defence Ministry said in a statement last week. The inaugural exercise will include the conduct of various aerial combat drills between the two Air Forces. They will undertake multi-domain air combat missions in a complex environment and will exchange best practices. Experts from both sides will also hold discussions to share their expertise on varied operational aspects. "Exercise 'Veer Guardian' will fortify the long-standing bond of friendship and enhance the avenues of defence cooperation between the two Air Forces," said the Defence Ministry.
