Indian Navy's Yoga Day Pictures Expose Nuclear Revamp | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Summary
TLDRAn amusing revelation shows how yoga photos posted by the Indian Navy inadvertently exposed the decommissioning of nuclear missile systems on two offshore patrol vessels, INS Subadra and INS Subarna. The Federation of American Scientists used these images to deduce that the ships are no longer nuclear-capable, as deck markings no longer matched satellite images. Despite the humorous source, it confirms India's updated, more potent nuclear stance, with the INS Arant submarine now capable of carrying ballistic missiles. The incident highlights the importance of information security in the digital age.

Q & A
What is the significance of the 'missile stabilizer' mentioned in the script?
-The missile stabilizer is a special structure on the deck of certain ships that helps in launching nuclear weapons. Its presence or absence can indicate whether a ship is equipped with nuclear-capable missile systems.
How did the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) deduce that India's sea-based nuclear weapons were removed from INS Subadra and INS Subarna?
-The FAS used yoga pictures posted by the Indian Navy on social media, which showed the absence of the missile stabilizer on the deck of the ships, to deduce that the nuclear weapons had been removed.
What was the first clue that indicated the removal of nuclear weapons from INS Subna?
-The first clue was a yoga picture posted by the Indian Navy on Yoga Day in 2022, where the absence of the missile stabilizer was noticeable.
What is the difference between nuclear weapons on patrol ships and those on submarines?
-Nuclear weapons on patrol ships have very short ranges, requiring the ship to sail close to the enemy to strike. In contrast, submarines can carry ballistic nuclear missiles with much longer ranges, making them more effective.
How did the script mention the use of social media posts to uncover military strategies?
-The script mentioned two examples: the use of a fitness app's heat map to identify secret US bases and the use of social media posts during a military exercise to identify soldiers, their locations, and equipment.
What was the Indian military's response to the potential security risk posed by social media posts?
-In 2016, the Indian military issued an advisory asking citizens not to post information about deployments or share images that could reveal sensitive information about military assets.
What is the significance of the 'INS Arant' mentioned in the script?
-The INS Arant is a nuclear-armed submarine of the Indian Navy, capable of carrying ballistic nuclear missiles, which can hit targets over a long distance, making it a more potent weapon system compared to patrol ships.
How many more submarines are expected to be launched by India towards the end of this decade?
-Two more submarines are expected to be launched by India towards the end of this decade.
What is the broader implication of the 'yoga expose' mentioned in the script?
-The 'yoga expose' confirms India's shift to a new nuclear posture that is more effective and lethal, while also highlighting the importance of being cautious about what is shared on social media due to its potential to reveal sensitive information.
What is the role of open-source data in identifying military strategies or locations?
-Open-source data, such as social media posts or fitness app data, can be analyzed to uncover hidden military strategies, locations, or activities, without the need for any sophisticated equipment.
How does the script relate the concept of 'one tree for humanity' to the broader environmental issues?
-The script introduces the 'one tree for humanity' project as an initiative to combat climate change by encouraging the planting of trees, symbolizing the collective effort needed to address environmental challenges.
Outlines
🧘♂️ Yoga Poses Reveal India's Nuclear Arsenal Changes
The first paragraph discusses an unexpected revelation about India's nuclear capabilities through yoga pictures posted by the Indian Navy. The Federation of American Scientists (FAS) used these images to deduce that India's sea-based nuclear weapons, previously mounted on two offshore patrol vehicles named Subadra and Subarna, have been removed. These ships were identifiable by a special missile stabilizer structure on their deck, absent in other patrol ships. The FAS confirmed the disarmament by comparing deck markings in the yoga pictures to satellite imagery, indicating the absence of the missile stabilizer. The report humorously highlights the importance of not sharing workout pictures, as they can inadvertently expose military secrets. Despite the surprising source of this intelligence, experts were not shocked by the disarmament, as it was anticipated for years. The paragraph also mentions India's new nuclear posture involving the INS Arant, a nuclear-armed submarine capable of launching ballistic missiles over long distances, contrasting with the short-range capabilities of patrol ship-based nukes. The narrative concludes with cautionary tales of how fitness apps and social media have previously exposed military bases and operations, emphasizing the need for discretion in sharing information online.
🌏 First Post: Diverse News Perspectives from Across Continents
The second paragraph shifts focus to the news organization First Post, celebrating its growth to 5 million strong and thanking its audience for their support. The organization pledges to continue delivering unfiltered and unbiased news. It also introduces a new initiative called 'One Tree for Humanity,' aimed at combating climate change by encouraging the planting of trees. The paragraph then transitions to various newsmakers and topics, such as the T20 World Cup, elections, climate change, and innovation opportunities in Africa, with a special emphasis on reporting from the global South. The narrative includes introductions from news presenters located in different parts of the world, including South Africa and Washington DC, highlighting the organization's commitment to bringing diverse perspectives on important issues.

Transcripts
what's funny but involves nuclear
weapons our next story it's about how
yoga exposed India's nuclear revamp I
know it sounds confusing so let me
explain India can launch nukes from
three platforms from Air from land and
from the sea tonight we're looking at
the last one India's sea based nukes
were placed on two warships in subadra
and in subarna both are offshore Patrol
Vehicles you can easily differentiate
them from India's other Patrol ships
just look at their satellite this
satellite picture subadra and subna have
a special structure on Deck a missile
stabilizer it helps them launch nuclear
weapons other Patrol ships do not have
it so the difference is clearly visible
now we come to the interesting part an
American nonprofit says the nukes have
been removed the nonprofit is called f
yes it stands for Federation of American
scientists they say subadra and suvarna
are not nuclear capable
anymore how do they know because of yoga
pictures take a look so over the past
couple years the Indian Navy has been
posting yoga picks when it goes and
makes Port visits in different countries
by matching the deck markings on the AF
deck to satellite imagery this shows us
is that these ships which used to have
nuclear capable missile systems on them
no longer have those system this is an
advertisement to avoid posting your
workout picks um otherwise a big nerd
will find them and make uh assumptions
about your nuclear
Arsenal the first clue came in 2022 the
Indian Navy posted this picture on yoga
day and look at the caption a yoga
session on board ins subna you can see
all the sailors doing yoga poses on
Deck but do you know what's missing the
missile stabilizer to launch nukes the
second clue was dropped this year
another yoga picture this time from AA
subadra again guess what's missing the
same missile stabilizer which is why the
American agency says the nukes have been
removed now just to be clear this is not
really a gotta moment most experts
expected this to happen even the
American report admits this listen to
what they've said although the yoga
related source of the news may have been
surprising the missile's retirement in
itself was not for years we have assumed
that the system would be
eliminated so where are the missiles now
well the defense Ministry has not said
anything so the missiles current
location is not known maybe it is
heading back to the stockpile as for
capabilities do not worry India has a
nuclear armed submarine now the ins
arant it is capable of carrying
ballistic nuclear missiles these can hit
targets over a distance which is very
different from nukes on patrol ships
those have very short ranges meaning you
have to sail close to the eny enemy to
strike so submarines are better any day
a second sub will be launched later this
year two more will follow towards the
end of this decade so the yoga expose
actually confirms India's new nuclear
posture more effective and more lethal
but you have to admit the source is
funny an online post giving away
military
strategies however it's not a
first have you heard of straa it's a
fitness app used by millions of
people in 2017 they uploaded a heat map
of all activities logged once again
military nerds got to work they used
this data to identify secret us bases
and the logic was easy who would be
using straa in the middle of the Afghan
Wasteland or remote serin mountains the
answer was American soldiers they stood
out as bright spots in the middle of
nowhere Australia Too Faced something
similar in 2016 they organized a special
military exercise many of the
participants use social media during
that period again ceue the military
nerds they use social media posts to
identify 680 soldiers their location
their equipment even their
deployments you don't need fancy
equipment to do any of this you just
need open- Source data maybe some
soldiers turned on location tagging or
maybe they liked the friend's photo or
maybe commented on a post if you have a
keen mind you you can unearth it of
course Rivals will see it differently
they're looking closely to find any
weakness in your ranks so you can't
afford such slip-ups the Indian military
knows this too in 2016 they issued an
advisory they asked citizens to not post
information about
deployments maybe it's just a selfie
with a tank or a closeup with a gun but
the dictat is don't do it let's hope
such slip-ups do not happen again
