B-52s, Tu-95s & H-6s: Why lumbering bombers still matter in supersonic, stealth era

Vamsikrishna03 mins mins

In an era defined by supersonic stealth fighters and radar‑evasive bombers like the B-2—and with the US building the B‑21 Raider for deep strikes—one might not expect airliner‑sized, lumbering bombers to remain relevant.Yet America’s B‑52, Russia’s Tu‑95 and China’s H‑6 (a Tu‑16 derivative) still fly alongside supersonic types such as the American B‑1 Lancer and…

AI-generated image Government jobs remain among the most coveted career options in India. Coaching centres flourish, online study platforms thrive, and families invest significant time, money and hope in the belief that their children will secure what is often seen as the ultimate prize: a stable government job.Yet, behind this aspiration lies a striking contradiction. Every year, millions of candidates apply for government recruitment examinations, often competing for just a few thousand vacancies. In many cases, hundreds—or even thousands—of applicants vie for a single position.And still, only a few succeed. For instance, the UPSC’s Civil Services Exam (CSE), arguably the country’s toughest competitive exam, records a success rate of less than 1%, with only a few hundred candidates ultimately selected from among hundreds of thousands of applicants each year.Millions chase UPSC dream every yearThis is India’s government job paradox: millions aspire to join the public sector, but only a tiny fraction ultimately secures a position.Why millions chase government job dream despite limited positionsAs they say, films are a reflection of society. Indian cinema has long captured the country’s fascination with government jobs—the determined youngster facing financial hardship, sacrificing years to exam preparation, and chasing a coveted position that promises security, status and a chance to transform their family’s future.Often, the lead character fails in his first few attempts. Then, when all hope seems lost, years of perseverance finally pay off and the coveted appointment letter arrives.The financial hardship and personal struggles often portrayed in such stories are only part of the reason government jobs remain so appealing. Their enduring attraction stems from a range of factors, including:Social status: Government jobs continue to command considerable respect across much of India. Securing one is viewed as a mark of achievement and professional success.Family tradition: In many families, children follow in the footsteps of parents or relatives who have worked in government service. Familiarity with the profession and its benefits often reinforces its appeal across generations.Financial security and upward mobility: For many candidates from low- and middle-income households, a government job represents a pathway to financial stability and a better quality of life. It can also provide opportunities for upward social and economic mobility.Stable income: Public-sector employees benefit from regular salaries and structured pay scales. This financial predictability allows individuals and families to plan for the future with confidence.Job security: Government jobs are widely perceived as offering greater job security than most private-sector roles. The relatively low risk of layoffs makes them particularly attractive during periods of economic uncertainty.Pension and retirement benefits: Government employment often comes with retirement benefits that provide long-term financial security. Such safeguards remain a major draw for many aspirants.Public service: For some aspirants, the attraction lies in the opportunity to serve society and contribute to public welfare. The ability to make a tangible difference in people’s lives is a significant draw.Taken together, these factors help explain why government jobs continue to hold a unique place in India’s collective imagination.Why aspirants keep tryingCracking a government recruitment exam is no easy feat. While many candidates are successful in their first attempt, others spend years preparing and reappearing, continuing until they either secure a position, exhaust their permitted attempts, or cross the age limit for eligibility.So, beyond the appeal of government jobs, what explains the persistence of aspirants who continue to burn the midnight oil despite repeated setbacks and long odds?UPSC aspirant Rahul Singh (name changed) told The Times of India that candidates do not give up on their dreams easily.”Most of the exams in India have selection rates similar to UPSC. For examples, for IIT, its less than 1%, and for SSC CGL, it is far less than both UPSC CSE and IIT. Therefore, the odds of getting selected in UPSC is not an outlier in comparison to other competitive exams,” he said.From aspirant to civil servantSingh says what keeps him motivated is the fruits of his labour that come with success, and the opportunity to work among common people and bring change to their lives.He also sought to clarify a misconception that aspirants are motivated by the opportunity to make money unscrupulously once in positions of power, or to exploit political opportunities when they arise.”It might be true in some cases but but it cannot be generalised for lakhs of dedicated aspirants. I feel that a sense of selfless service, compassion and integrity still exists which is keeping the spine of ‘steel frame of India’ intact and which is driving this country towards path of progess despite all the negatives,” Singh said.Scale of competition – what statistics sayAs the world’s most populous country, India naturally also has the largest youth population. As of 2025, nearly 65% of Indians are below the age of 35. This translates into a vast pool of job seekers, making government recruitment one of the most competitive landscapes in the country.For example, applications for the UPSC CSE run into the millions each year. In the 2022 UPSC CSE, more than 11.35 lakh candidates applied for 1,011 vacancies, translating to an average of 1,123 applications for every position. Ultimately, only 933 candidates were recommended for selection after the interview stage, resulting in a success rate of just 0.08%.Similarly, 10.40 lakh candidates applied for 796 vacancies in the 2020 Civil Services Examination, translating to an average of 1,306 applications per position. In the end, only 761 candidates were recommended for selection, a success rate of just 0.07%.Millions aspire, only a few succeedThe situation is similar for state-level government jobs. In the Uttar Pradesh Provincial Civil Services (UPPSC) examination, 5,76,154 candidates registered for 947 vacancies in 2024, translating to an average of 608 registrations for every post. Ultimately, only 932 candidates were recommended for selection, resulting in a success rate of just 0.16%.UPSC and other govt job examsThe numbers highlight a simple reality: Only a tiny fraction ultimately make the cut.India’s government job paradox – why many fail to make the cutThe reasons millions of aspirants fail to make the cut extend well beyond the sheer number of applicants. Factors such as intense competition, exam difficulty, exam-related pressures, reservation policies, and even examination irregularities can all shape a candidate’s chances of success.Competition level: There is intense competition even within a vast pool of aspirants. So even strong candidates are often edged out by someone slightly better.Paper difficulty: Questions are often intentionally set at a high level to filter candidates and ensure that only the most well-prepared qualify.Paper leak: Paper leaks lead to re-tests, where even strong performers from the original exam may not replicate their earlier results due to changed conditions and added pressure.Reservation policies: These shape government recruitment by distributing vacancies across categories, leading to differences in competition levels and cut-off marks. Individual preparedness: Many candidates take their first attempt primarily to understand the exam level and competition. In other cases, even well-prepared candidates may find themselves outperformed by others who are significantly better prepared.Preparation ecosystem: Individual preparedness, in turn, can be shaped by varying access to guidance, study resources, and exposure to competitive environments.Selection, in the end, is a matter of relative performance within fixed constraints—and sometimes luck—where even strong effort does not always guarantee success.Government jobs: A complex realityDespite intense competition and the sheer pool of candidates, the dream of a government job continues to endure, shaping aspirations across the country.For the 2026 Civil Services Examination, UPSC received 8,19,372 applications for just 933 posts, reflecting the continued aspiration among millions to secure a government job.From the Prelims stage, 13,343 have qualified for the Mains stage, where an even smaller number will qualify for the interviews. From them, ultimately, only a few will make it to the final merit list, a minuscule fraction of those who registered for the exam.Yet this paradox is unlikely to go away anytime soon, as large-scale participation continues to reflect both the enduring appeal of such opportunities and the limited number of available positions.Get the latest India news and live updates.
