the joke is that all of the above or comparable stuff can be sourced from Indian industry.The world’s top SF units have entire teams in their support wing that focus on developing bespoke solutions.
Getting excited about purchasing some SCARs and dual tube NVGs from the US, come on guys. None of this is cutting edge tech GPNVG-18s are over a decade old at this point (not that Indian units will be getting them for decades)
AFSOD and it’s successor (INSOCOM) has to change this mentality. They need to become more mission focused and remember they have a strategic mandate. If there was such a sense there wouldn’t be this cheerleading for what are very very basic tactical equipment upgrades.
these are the same people that post images of SU-30MKIs are MiG-29s
and he’s admitted it was for representational purposes anyway.
he said they had a different mindset, that’s it. Which makes sense given that they have entirely different training ethos and mandates.
he also said some of their tactics were inferior, the point of these exercises is to learn from one another not d!ck measure so please keep this kind of childish stuff away from analysis, it’s as cringe worthy as the ‘12-0’ scorecards reporter after Indradhanush that forced the RAF to clarify and I’m certain left a bad taste in the mouths of the British hosts.
