Still a general lack of proper vests/ pouches to keep 51 mm Mortar rounds and UBGL grenade
I have seen troops keeping the water bottle and shells in the same vest or put it in the backpack which is on occasions nothing more than school bag.
Yes these are latest arrival in few RR units.
Can say if the same pattern being standardized for every unit. But this is not purchased from troops own pocket like some of the fancy gear we see occasionally with troops.
It took years just for a small deal 170 crore, OTOH Anti National Hurriyat turds got 100 - 500 and in return they screw India.
Tin Buckets and Patkas are being replaced, good riddance.
A sorry state for our valiant jawans who are most handsomely paid in south Asia even a Havaldar earns more than a paki commissioned officers, yet even Afghans outclass them in basic equipment and BPJ.
The irony is our private firms export whole range of BPJs to europe, turkey and elsewhere.
