INS Dweeprakshak INS Dweeprakshak is a naval base of the Southern Naval Command of the Indian Navy located on Kavaratti island in the Lakshadweep archipelago . It was commissioned on April 30 , 2012 . History . The Indian Navy has deployed detachments to the Lakshadweep Islands since independence . The Lakshadweep islands were a part of the Madras Presidency under the British Raj and in accordance with the Indian Independence Act 1947 , enacted by the British parliament , the islands were transferred to the new Union of India . Though the Madras Presidency had an overwhelming Hindu majority , the islands had a Muslim majority . Hence , it seemed possible that the new dominion of Pakistan might seek to lay claim to the islands . On the orders of Vallabhbhai Patel , the first Home Minister and Deputy Prime Minister of India , a ship of the Royal Indian Navy was sent to the islands to hoist the Indian national flag and ensure the islands ' integration into the Union of India . Hours after the arrival of the Indian ship , vessels of the Royal Pakistan Navy were seen near the islands , but after observing Indian naval presence they returned to Karachi . The navy has maintained permanent facilities on Kavaratti island since the 1980s . The islands are en route on vital shipping lanes from the Indian mainland to the Persian Gulf . With increasing threats , such as attacks by Somali pirates , the island territory has grown in relevance to Indian security considerations . " INS Dweeprakshak " was hence commissioned to provide support facilities for naval vessels based on the islands , as well as to enhance surveillance capabilities over shipping lanes . " INS Dweeprakshak " was commissioned on 30 April 2012 by Vice Admiral Krishnan Nair Sushil , Flag Officer Commanding - in - Chief ( FOC - in - C ) of the Southern Naval Command . Captain S . M . Hanchinal was the first Commanding Officer of the base .

A - 135 anti - ballistic missile system The A - 135 ( NATO : ABM - 3 ) anti - ballistic missile system is a Russia n military complex deployed around Moscow to counter enemy missiles targeting the city or its surrounding areas . It became operational during 1995 , being a successor to the previous A - 35 , and compliant with the 1972 Anti - Ballistic Missile Treaty from which the US unilaterally withdrew in 2002 . The A - 135 system attained " alert " ( operational ) status on February 17 , 1995 . It is currently operational although its 51T6 ( NATO reporting name : SH - 11 ) component is deactivated ( as of February 2007 ) . A newer missile is expected to replace it . There is an operational test version of the system at the test site in Sary Shagan , Kazakhstan . The system is operated by the 9th Division of Anti - Missile Defence , part of the Air Defence and Missile Defence Command of the Russian Aerospace Defence Forces . A - 135 . A - 135 consists of the Don - 2N battle management radar and two types of ABM missiles . It gets its data from the wider Russian early warning system which is sent to the command centre which then forwards tracking data to the Don - 2N radar . A memo from the archives of Vitalii Leonidovich Kataev , written circa 1985 , had envisaged that the system " will be completed in 1987 to provide protection from a strike of 1 - 2 modern and prospective ICBM s and up to 35 Pershing 2 - type intermediate - range missiles . " Russian Early Warning System . The wider early warning system consists of : Successor . The successor system , dubbed ' Samolet - M ' ( and more recently A - 235 ) supposedly will employ a new , conventional , variant of the 53T6 missile to be deployed in the former 51T6 silos .
Special Operations Battalion ( Croatia ) The Special Operations Battalion ( ) , or popularly BSD was founded on 8 September 2000 when the Special Combat Skills Center from Šepurine and the 1st Croatian Guard Brigade ( , a component of the 1st Croatian Guards Corps ) were amalgamated . Today , it is one of the most elite units of the Croatian Armed Forces , as well as being one of the best trained and equipped special forces units in the region . It , along with other Croatian Special Forces units , has the unique benefit in the region of having a command cadre with victorious combat experience in a full - scale war . The BSD members can be recognized by their green berets with unit badges over the right eye . Their symbol is a snake , so they are sometimes referred as " Cobras " although their insignia shows a Horned viper which is the most dangerous snake to be found in Croatia and in mainland Europe . Main tasks . The Battalion is focused on airborne assault as well as operations behind enemy lines with insertion from land , air or sea . However , unlike most special forces in the world , the Battalion is also trained in non - combat search and rescue of civilians and providing aid as well as dealing with natural disasters . The unit is equipped with the most sophisticated weapons and equipment available , and trained to undertake the full range of special ops missions and even the dangerous mid - air , aircraft - to - aircraft operations . Personnel are trained for : The Croatian General Staff exercises direct command over the battalion which thus elevated the unit to strategic level for quicker response time and overall better and faster deployment on both tactical and strategic levels . Also , this means that members of all three branches of the Croatian armed forces can apply for selection . In 2008 , two women successfully completed selection and training , earning their green berets and making the BSD one of the few special forces units in the world that have women among their ranks as combat qualified operators and not just support staff . Structure of BSD . The BSD is composed of one command section and five companies , each specialized for a different variety of missions . International engagements . BSD members have been deployed on several peacekeeping missions in the world . Currently , BSD is engaged in ISAF and EUFOR Tchad / RCA missions . There was some speculation in the Croatian media and amongst the public that BSD members are conducting combat missions in Iraq side - by - side with US Army , in contravention of a Croatian parliament mandate for the United Nations mission , but this was dismissed by the Croatian Ministry of Defense .

David Blake ( general ) Major General David Valentine Jardine Blake ( 10 November 1887 – 1965 ) was a notable member of the Australian Army in both World War I and World War II , rising to the rank of Major General . Early life . David Blake was born on 10 November 1887 in Parramatta , New South Wales . World War I . Blake was commissioned as a career officer , in the Australian Army ' s Permanent Military Forces in January 1916 , during World War I . In September 1916 , as a Major , he became the first commanding officer ( CO ) of the newly formed No . 3 Squadron ( 3 Sqn ) Australian Flying Corps ( which was then part of the army ) . The squadron was deployed to Belgium and France in late 1917 , performing a combined reconnaissance and offensive role . From early 1918 , 3 Sqn flew in a sector of the Somme Valley , facing German planes commanded by the " Red Baron " , Manfred von Richthofen . When the baron was shot down and killed behind Allied lines on 21 April 1918 , the disposal of his remains became Blake ' s responsibility . Blake initially reported that a 3 Sqn RE8 may have shot down Richthofen . However , following an autopsy , Blake became a strong proponent of the view that ground - based Australian machine - gunners had killed the baron . Blake remained 3 Sqn CO until October 1918 . The following year , he was transferred to Australia . World War II . After the outbreak of World War II , Blake ' s first significant command ( as a Major General ) was Officer Commanding , 7th Military District ( the Northern Territory ) , based in Darwin , from September 1941 . The post gained in importance when war with Japan broke out in December . In January 1942 , Blake ' s position was incorporated into the short - lived American - British - Dutch - Australian Command . He was the senior Allied officer present during the devastating air raids on Darwin , on 19 February 1942 . In the wake of the initial Japanese raids — and fearing a surface attack — Blake decided to remove all Allied forces from central Darwin and other coastal areas . He was later criticised for this decision , as it made a cardinal error in military theory : withdrawing from a major supply node . Later that year , as a major Allied build - up in northern Australia got underway , Blake was moved to the position of General Officer Commanding , Lines of Communication , Northern Territory Area . Blake retired from the army in 1947 .
