<br /><ul><li><strong>‘Regulation 1.0’, India’s new rules and regulations for flying drones in the country, went live on December 1. <br /></strong></li><li><strong>While flying drones may be legal, they can’t be used for e-commerce deliveries. <br /></strong></li><li><strong>The Indian government’s agenda includes using drones for health care-related emergency situations such as when road congestion is a huge obstacle. <br /></strong></li><li><strong>The country’s army chief has also stated that drones may be used to safeguard India’s borders against <keyword id="3001" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Pakistan">Pakistan</keyword> in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. </strong></li></ul>Announced in August earlier this year, the rules and regulations for legally flying drones in India went live on December 1. It's important to note that unlike the United States and other countries where flying drones is legal, the use of drones doesn't yet apply to e-commerce. <br /><br />That means that you won't be getting <keyword id="6358351" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="pizza">pizza</keyword> and online orders delivered to your doorstep.<br /><br />So why did India choose to legalise drones? The move seems to, more or less, to placate the public where the 'recreational use' of drones is now feasible. But there are applications for agricultural data collection, insurance and infrastructure asset maintenance, among others, that could benefit the larger public.<br /><br /><strong>Not-so-recreational</strong><br /><br />Currently, the implementation plans of drones seem to be in the realm of facilitating drones from transporting organs and other emergency medical supplies. <br /><br />Drones will also be likely be used by the Indian military. The Indian army chief has stated that India may use 'armed drones' to protect the borders of Jammu and Kashmir, one of India's most volatile states. He added that this form of 'Hybrid Warfare' would also be used across the line-of-control (LoC) on the Pakistani side.<br /><br />'Regulations 1.0' may make flying drones in India feasible, but it's not as easy as just buying a drone and setting it loose in the sky. <br /><br />In fact, there are a bunch of regulatory formalities that come into play like applying for digital permits called the Unmanned Aircraft Operator Permit (UAOP), limitations on high drones can fly, and adhering to 'no-fly' zones -- that are all seen as reasonable regulation. <br /><br />The government has also clarified that if there's a new application for how drones should be used, they would relax the rules on a case-by-case basis.<br /><br />Simon Johnson, the Vice President of the Drone Association of <keyword id="103" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Switzerland">Switzerland</keyword>, said, "Regulations are absolutely necessary to ensure accountability. Integrating autonomous systems into society has its own challenges. And for India, I think the new set of regulations is a great step forward," at the Game of Drones conference in Bengaluru. <br /><br />Melanie Guittet doesn't see the regulations as obstacles at all saying that, "I think it’s is an enabler, a catalyser for the growth of drone industry. Else, it’ll shrink to small scale without regulations."<br /><br />The country still seems divided on whether the legalisation of drones is progressive or a security concern, but either way, the drones are here and it seems as though rather than be vary, it's time to responsible to ensure that they bring about positive change. <br /><br />

<p>Technology and manpower never guarantee a military victory by themselves. And neither can tactics and strategy - sometimes, it takes an extra measure of trickery and subterfuge to swing the tide on the battlefield. </p>

<h3>1. Operation Mincemeat</h3>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"></span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">The operation was carried out successfully by obtaining the corpse of a homeless man in London, who was then given a false identity as a Major in the Royal Marines. This man was then given false plans documenting an invasion of Sardinia and Greece, before being thrown to the tide off the coast of Spain. </span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">The British alerted the Spanish, who were nominally neutral during the war, to be on the lookout for a British Marine carrying documents that had to be recovered. The papers were promptly handed over to the Nazis by the Spanish, and convinced Hitler to reposition troops away from Sicily. </span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> </span></p>
<h3>2. Heroin-Laced Cigarettes </h3>
<p></p>
<p>Instead of surrendering, the Ottomans threw away the propaganda and smoked. So, before the British scheduled one raid, they switched tactics and threw over <a href="http://www.cracked.com/article_18811_5-real-macgyvers-who-won-battles-with-improvised-weapons.html">cigarettes laced with heroin</a>.</p>
<p>The British met little opposition from the Ottoman forces during their assault.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3>3. Moving A Naval Fleet Over Land</h3>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"></span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">In order to overcome the chain, the Ottomans <a href="http://cimsec.org/lessons-history-ottoman-navy-name-fight-just-well/12269">moved their navy</a> overland using log rollers. This allowed the Ottomans to bypass the chain and attack the Byzantines from multiple fronts, ultimately aiding in the capture of the city that's now called Istanbul. </span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> </span></p>
<h3>4. Cats!</h3>
<p></p>
<p>During an invasion of Egypt, the Persians painted cats on their shields and brought hundreds of actual cats and other sacred animals onto the front lines during the siege of the Egyptian city of Pelusium.</p>
<p>The Egyptians refused to attack the Persians out of fear that the might injure the cats, allowing the Persians to seize the city.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3>5. High-Class Treatment Of POWs - With A Twist</h3>
<p></p>
<p>Unbeknownst to the Nazis, the British had <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-20698098">wired the entire mansion</a> and had intelligence personnel working in the basement recording their conversations. The British learned about Nazi strategy and tactics, as well as about relationships between commanders and Hitler within the Nazi army. </p>
<p> </p>
<h3>6. Deceptive Marching</h3>
<p></p>
<p>The Union was deceived, and halted the assault instead of pushing its advantage. This allowed Magruder time to reinforce his position, leading what would have been a certain Union victory to an inconclusive finish. </p>

<h3>2. Heroin-Laced Cigarettes </h3>
<p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"></div><p></p></div></div><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">The British and Ottomans were locked in extremely slow-moving trench warfare during World War I's Palestine Campaign. Eventually, the British learned that the Ottomans had run out of cigarettes. In an attempt to demoralize their enemy, the British began sending cigarettes wrapped in propaganda to the Ottomans. </span></p>
<p>Instead of surrendering, the Ottomans threw away the propaganda and smoked.

The Byzantines had erected a giant chain across the Golden Horn, a stretch of water that connected Constantinople to the sea. This chain effectively blocked the Ottoman navy from making their way to the enemy capital.</span></span></p>

<p>During an invasion of Egypt, the Persians painted cats on their shields and brought hundreds of actual cats and other sacred animals onto the front lines during the siege of the Egyptian city of Pelusium.</p>

<p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"></div><p></p></div></div><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">During World War II, the British housed captured senior Nazi officials in a country mansion in England as opposed to a prison camp. The officers were given plenty of food and drink, were allowed to listen to German radio, and were allowed to speak to each other freely. </span></p>
<p>Unbeknownst to the Nazis, the British had <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-20698098">wired the entire mansion</a> and had intelligence personnel working in the basement recording their conversations.

<p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"></div><p></p></div></div><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">During the American Civil War, Confederate General John B.

<p>The Union was deceived, and halted the assault instead of pushing its advantage. This allowed Magruder time to reinforce his position, leading what would have been a certain Union victory to an inconclusive finish. </p>
