I was reading the Cold start doctrine article (A Cold Start for Hot Wars? - Walter C. Ladwig III). He mentions that during the 5 major exercises in recent years, the volume of data transfer that the various army formations had in the form of video conferences and other C4I data, required that the Indian armed forces have the equivalent of three dedicated mil communation satellites in the event of all out hostilities.
The Navy and the Airforce have announced their getting their own mil satellites. I assume these will be geostationary comm satellites for communications only. Or are they for any other use? The recon satellites are separate, and one doubts that any arm will have control over them.
