Uttam radar display at Aero India 2025

Hello I just fell upon a friend telling me this radar at the DRDO exposition at aero India is in fact the GaN variant of the Uttam. I know Astra exposed the current serial variant, but that one is apparently different and has a different serial number naming scheme.

Name mismatch in 10th marksheet vs other docs — will affidavit work

Hi all, need advice from people who’ve faced this.

My Std X marksheet has my name as P*** Ramesh (father’s name). But all my other documents — Aadhaar, 12th marksheet, degree, PAN — have only my name with initial, like P*** R

Now for CDS/SSC/other govt exams, the form specifically asks for “Name as per 10th marksheet”. I’ve already made a self-affidavit stating that both names refer to the same person.

My question:

  1. Will this create problems during document verification after prelims/mains?

  2. Has anyone cleared SSB/final stage with this kind of mismatch + affidavit?

Don’t want to get rejected after clearing everything. Anyone with similar experience please share what worked. Thanks!

Will in the future officers become lt gen after 30/31 years of service in Indian army. Because the new 2009 policy is making Indian Army Officers as colonel with 15-16 years of service.

I am asking this because I want to crack the cds exam and then I will have 35 years of service and I want to become a lt gen in my life. Please tell someone who is actually from Armed Forces will it be possible the future ?
