There are ways to enforce the military to use local goods. But the government won't take a harder stance against the generals. I feel that whatever Manohar Parrikar ji did back then against the IAF to force Tejas down is needed to be replicated across the Army in the armored vehicle department...

Looks like we need a border conflict with the PLA in order to kickstart militaristic thinking in the top brass. There is a lot of stuff in that clip that does not make sense, even to an amateur like me. Kicking off someone who has a gun in hand to give them the range advantage? The mismatched...

The question is whether the government is willing to accept non-combat casualties every time there is a ceasefire violation due to the lack of such camos. To me as an Indian, it is not acceptable. Soldiers join the military to protect the country - while death is inevitable, it does not HAVE to...

I don't think so, mate. My point about all-white was only because that is readily available in IA's inventory. If there is a snow camo pattern planned, all the more better. You see, when soldiers or even civilian climbers/field operatives (such as myself) spend extensive time in the snow, our...

No it's not. Look at the dark green camo they are wearing instead of the regular Siachen issue white one. They are lit up for the enemy snipers there.

Didn't find a single source that is reporting on this pattern. That means there is still some hope.

I don't know man... too gaudy. The idea of camo is to make you subtle, not put a target on your head (that was the archaic concept). This new pattern is like LTTE's uniform:

Is this the pattern confirmed? Looks like some rebel group's wannabe pattern. I was expecting MARPAT style digital camo like the variant that CRPF uses in dense jungles.

Guys, any idea why are our soldiers in Arunachal wearing these biking helmets? They definitely don't look like military helmets. Got it from this show, a Print coverage online:

If only MKU gets ready to pay the jurnails. Otherwise "sab changa ji... import karo phoren se!".

So basically, the soldier wearing the armour still gets crushed ribs and spine from the force of the bullet. Well.... that's a real bummer but something expect. .50 cals are supposed to rip through even armoured VIP vehicles (unless it is the Rhino Runner). Let alone individual.

I always have this severe dislike for PSUs in defence. They are the source of all the pains of our defence self-reliance. Why can't the government privatize the OFB? I am sure that private conglomerates would love to. Of course the unions will not allow but that's the point; to break their...

That's true.. it is sad that people are like "oh any camo means it is a soldier". No one even in ministry or in defense knows the whole point of a camouflage. Or maybe they DON'T want ot know as it will wean away their money hoarding.

I was simply joking dude. Seriously I meant that it is important for army to be well hidden from the enemy especially in open combat theaters. Multicamos and digital pattern camos are a long time pending requirement for our armed forces.

I wholeheartedly agree that we need better camos. Using a dull and dead pattern over and over again is kind of a glam-killer. IA also needs its share of glamour. What irritates me is that why isn't IA opting for digital camos? They can use different camo patterns like: SNOW PATTERN DESERT...
