One area of cutting down imports must be very clear for the Armed Forces - Make in India necessarily should not mean made by OFB, DPSU and DODO labs. The private industry must be encouraged and coopted with every acquisition. In the present the OFB and DPSU play the role of a Dalal in between...

Quality Control Organisation of MoD called DGQA is essentially a Services organisation headed by an Army Lt Gen with very many Brigs, Col and Lt Cols as quality Controllers and about more than 40 per cent civilian Officers. Another organisation that has not measured upto desired standards.

You are absolutely right. I think it is in our genetic characteristics to weaken our security apparatus for gaining personal influence, power and status by any means including letting down those who manage the security structure. Conspiracies are more prominent in our narratives of social...

It was to happen, OFB asked for this move or rather compelled the govt to take this step and I hope that the this scourge in the form of IOFS is done away with slowly and gradually or even drastically by posting them to Arunachal Pradesh. The taste of pudding is in eating. And so far the...

One open question to SF / SOF guys - How many of you get training / otherwise exposures at Himalayan Mountaineering Institute, Darjeeling, Nehru Mountaineering Institute, Uttarkashi, Institutes at Manali and Auli ? Do SF guys take part in mountaineering expeditions?

Ok - Paramount is an equipment maker based at Dehradun active for about last 20 years. Supplies clothing and equipment for mountains and mountaineering. Though not of Swiss standard but lot of soldiers buy fancy equipment from him. Not SOF level equipment though.

When the soldiers compete / participate in international level event such as joint training, they are provided some training grant etc. So they sometimes buy new equipment out of that or purchase out of Regimental Funds which a soldiers private fund or buy things out of their own money. The...

Commanders nowadays hardly have any funds. Most of the time our soldiers buy the equipment out of their money. Has "Paramount" developed into something worthwhile ?

That is all right sir, You all people are highly respectable professionals of my country and deserve that much courtesy from a commander like me. I salute you all guys. Keep it up.

What to do sir, if one ever watched how they fill explosive in cases and shells, one will be very scared of using their ammunition. most of them are temporary labour who enter the factory premises loaded with local brew, keep taking the brew inside the factory and are found sleeping here and...

I thought grain consistency, size and weight was important for sniper ammo only, may be for pistols too. For spraying the bullets around Indian OFB mal is ok.

Answering is more important than understanding ? is it ? First understand .... If I fire a grenade from a rifle - it will gain a certain trajectory and then reach 200 meters away. Will that be reached in 4 seconds? If not the grenade will be initiated in 4 seconds while it is in trajectory -...

Thank you Sir. I was on one of the first introduced BFSR on LC (run with Microsoft Windows programme). That used to give all false indication even on blowing wind or a tree swaying due to wind. No distinction between an animal and a man. lots of running... So we had to pack it. I hope those...

Kitna deti hai ? Kitne ki hai ? Specifications ??. Andar ka maal kahan se kharida hai?

@Kay .. I am sure you have never held a grenade in your hand. For firing grenade from a rifle a cut Iron safety Ring is fitted on top of and around the grenade, on top of safety lever, with cut portion of ring at the backside of safety liver. Before firing the Safety pin is removed .On firing...

36 M grenade needs a separate blank cartridge + 7 Second Fuze + Iron ring + adapter firing attachment for barrel of 7.62. If 4 Second fuze is used there will be an airburst of the grenade at 4 Second which has its own uses. Due to these, a dedicated "bomber" is required to fire 36 M Grenade...

@Chinmoy Sir, We are unnecessarily getting / migrating to "Grenade 36 M Hand and Tube Launching". I am sure both are same so far tube launching is concerned. It has a base screw and the bottom of the base screw has female threaded portion to take in the launch tube. As I said earlier, the...

That is fine till Sep Bhoop Singh gets a grenade to throw as last resort which should not prove to be a dud. His confidence and faith in a weapon system is the most important thing for Indian Army. Semantics only. Number 36 Grenade has the same roles and same modes. Concussion is of little...
