Are you physically unfit enough?.. is not then your gonna have to marry a cousin to be eligible.

That's the pickle. The same thing will happen to us in any offensive with our present numero-technological status. Both sides have had decades to dig-in. Jet packs may not be the prioritisation necessity, but the jets are. Infantry will come last.

My point exactly. 👍 Small doable stuff after IAF is freed up & has air-superiority, with their ports soundly blockaded. Then the tech different on ground will matter less. Anyways the point being, not many NVGs & gun-sights coming anytime soon.

Post 2040 maybe... Crushing the PAF & PN should do the job for now. Then take a few kilometres & ceasefire. We can't. Not right now. It'll take atleast another decade, maybe two. If Indians were less obsessed with POK & actually gave a flying fuck about Paki hindus like they constantly claim...

Exactly... they won't try. We won't either. Both sides know this. That's why we're prepping for a air-water showdown where they can't match our spendings... And the infantry upgradation keeps getting neglected because the money is needed elsewhere.

I looked into the numbers, ignoring the older junk. Considering our eastern deployments, till 2035 we can deploy at best 2500 of our tanks in the west, against their to be upgraded 750 Ak-1 standard & 460 VT-4, plus 300 T-80s... not a great enough numerical edge given at present all our tanks...

That's what i meant to say exactly... there's far too many people who equate the two as same. Forget decisive victory over Pak.. considering the level of their 750+ Ak-1, 300 VT-4s & 300 T-80, we'll be back at 1965's near-parity with 3000 decade old tech T-72/90s, several hundred of them tied...

They won the war in 2 months... Send all the Talibs scurrying into caves. The next 20 years was when they found out that Afghanistan is an artificial concept & cannot be woven into a single federal state, while the Talibs simply outlived the storm. If instead of playing at nation building they'd...

Yeah we all know how that went in '62... O c'mon there ain't really gonna be no jetpacks. But yes air-superiority by superior platforms can stem the tide even if rest of indo-pak infantry, cavalry etc. wings are at par. Pakis did just that in '65.

Drastic upgradation cost a hell-lot of money... Money we can't afford as this wasn't done in a slow continuous process through last 25 years. So we are concentrating on some frontline troops at LOC & COIN (let's face it, there's probably gonna be no war at Rajasthan from in next 50years)...

But that's overall, switching the ammo type wouldn't add more than few hundred grams... Not even a dent compared to 40kg.

Oh. I'm not very knowledgeable on this. I just saw some videos of such demo. 🤷‍♂️

Why?.. It already has short effective range (Although 103/203 variqnt is demonstrated to atleast be accurate upto 500m).

Indian soldiers carry 60-80 ammo only (Insas 20rd mag). Weight difference won't be significant, even for 90 AK rds. And forget new callibers. India doesn't do new. Unless tested & battleproven by others we don't risk it... A prudent measure given our limited resources. For carbine roles 350m is...

That's a too critical view imo. Almost 3-quarter of 20th century (2 WWs) it had always been a combination of SMG & battle-rifle... NATO combined assault rifles are now conbined with same caliber DMR & LMG, but Indian army already has 7.62×51/54 for the other two. I don't know why AK-203 can't...

True. But, my point stands in this context. Those muzzle-deviceless AKs with similar recoil served en masse & probably had been fired in full auto. Nonetheless not combing Ak-203 with Sig-716 in each squad will be a supremely retarded thing to do... exactly the sort of retarded bullshit...

AK at full-auto would yeild a similar video with a rookie like that shooting. 😏

What's worse is they don't have any vision, for anything! Every R&D organisation has some success & failures, but Indian Army's capability to ignore the ones with actual potential is astonishing. Any tech that needed temporary backing by them for eventual improvement, was shat on. But what to...

Ofcourse those grenades would be inducted without being tested in those cold/humid/arid conditions. And at those height & climates comm devices, optics, NVGs etc. don't run on batteries but by the power of the universe.

Yes, everybody is dumb. DRDO are dumb, Armies across the world are dumb. If you're so smart then how come you aren't in DRDO?... showing the dumb scientists how shit is done? Eh? Awkat problems? As @Okabe Rintarou said he's a "veteran". What qualification does the Armed forces have to give...
