Something latest from the recent interview of RM as Manthan on Aaj Tak : # Ten days WWR ( of Daru Gola :laugh:) or less than that does not include 4 days equivalent of intense rate WWR held with units and formation - right one first line and two second lines of Daru Gola - Baaju men Rakh Ke...

I have many questions which are nagging my mind : One of the prime factors for determining Ammunition reserves is to calculated keeping in mind the the number of days the production lines for ammunition will gear up to start to supply more than full capacity and restart supplying...

Ordinance officer ? No... I have interacted in this forum for so many years including with you and you call me Ordnance officer ! Something like I call you an ASC officer rather than a MAHARE Officer ! It will be an embarrassment for me to answer that question in the forum. However, when we...

@Ray . Provisioning of Ammunition items is undertaken on the basis of Unit Entitlement (UEs) (if these are likely to be made up during the provisioning period in question), otherwise on Unit Holding (UHs) of weapons. The TI further states that once the net requirement is worked out, the...

My sincere apologies to Parveen Swamy of earstwhile outlook and Surp Vinash fame who I have been cursing (though he equally deserves it as righty said that he has been working as paid journalist for agencies with deep pockets) And the curse be on Parveen Sawhany who is equally prejudiced and...

All agreed. However, what CAG report on ammunition has clearly come out that in spite of estimated budgetary provisions, OFB simply did not demand the budget at BE and RE stages to meet Army requirement simply because it was out of their capacity to meet the targets and no efforts were made...

He was l lieing through his nose : " Ammunition is categorized as Class ‘A’ stores and its provisioning is governed by DGOS Technical Instruction (TI) issued in 1970 with the concurrence of Ministry. The aim of an Annual Provision Review (APR) is to assess liabilities and assets for the...

Critical deficiency in ammunition in very vital areas exist due to inability of the DRDO to absorve TOT and OFBs inability to manufacture ammunition. It is indeed very sickening how can we have below zero percent of main ammunition of 125 mm Tank guns. 125 mm tanks guns are the mainstay of...

Sir, this wrong notions of 4-5 days war exist more prominently across the border. They think that they will be able to reach Delhi or Capture Kashmir in 4-5 days. That notion existed in 1948 and 1965, in 1971 and even during Kargil. And their friends did intervene and saved their backsides. This...

Because, China is not such a fool. They have been fighting their wars with India through Pakistan.. when there is someone to fight their war why should they ?? That is so simple.

That the crux of the whole problem which dominates the minds of our politicians, bureaucrats, policy makers and even the generals - that the war will be over in three days with Pakistan. But the reality is something else. What does the history say : # Indo- Pak War 1947 - Oct 1948 - Dec 1948 #...

Prior to January 2010 (when the first Roll on Indent was not introduced), Army placed annual target on the OFB before the commencement of the financial year. However, post January 2010, with the approval of Ministry a consolidated indent was placed on OFB for five years (2009-10 to 2013-14) for...

One of the important aspect of being prepared for War is to train. In training, the vital aspect is firing the ammunition which one is supposed to fire in war. How does the soldier fire when some of the critical ammunition is not available due to shortage and is under what is called "Restriction...

Is it the Army that believes the war with adversaries is unlikely ? In fact it is the Babus in MoD, OFB, DRDO, Defence Finance and journalist like Swamy who believe that Armed Forces are waste of money and burden on exchequer. There is not going to be any war so what is the hurry to make up WWR...

A patent lie and allegation without a base. What the CAG report says is this : now can Parveen Swamy tell us how and since when is OFB under Army ?
