Very well said. I have seen the degradation of our capabilities first hand. The ammo which we used to keep our aiming fit in 1990 every quarter was extended to be used within six minths and finally for an year. The squadron work up for A2A and A2G firing was reduced. Our Fully ops status including firing weapons live including at least one AAM. Even today it has not been restored but we do now have recorder missiles which do give the correct picture if the target could have been hit or not based on launch aircraft parameters. We used to fire nearly life expired missile as part of our fully ops status. We were supposed to fire small arms which we used including skeet shooting every three months. It was reduced to just once in one year. I am sure that even IA must have gone thru something like that. Even ships work up routine for a new crew was reduced to less than 30%.And that is the end of it. No capacity building, no measures to meet the threat. Instead ,further subversion of our capability so that we have to face the 'we can not fight them' everytime they push us.
