    Both squads should have LMGs.

    300 seems pretty low.

    Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

    True, but if you're closing the distance you've probably won the engagement and are trying to secure the objective from a superior tactical position anyway. In the end, you can't have everything with your weapons. In any other instance where mountains weren't a major equation a standard issue...

    AFVs aren't going to be all too common in the mountains.

    Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

    CQB isn't the be all end all especially considering our terrain, it's more plausible in our case to have a battle rifle and destroy from a distance while leaving CQB as a situational last resort where it becomes necessary to manuever into the enemy. Infantry engagements first and foremost are...

    Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

    Having just seen the Tonbo VX optic, i think it would be an excellent choice, but i'm still worried about mainstreaming a battle rifle. Ultimately the infantry's job is to fix the enemy and either pick them off from advantageous positions (now that we outrange our counterparts) or close in and...

    I have serious doubts about hypersonic missles frankly.

    Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

    To add to this an armoured Chinese offensive runs the risk of a brutal counter attack from Indian mechanised and armoured formations. Sino-Indian conflicts are largely going to be centered around Infantry, artillery, air power and a few key armour-intensive axis of advance at best. It really...

    Support roles, company HQ etc. Not everyone's role is for combat.

    Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

    The reason why you're talking about comprehension issues is because you never understood my point regarding radios till now, There's three ways a section leader/team leader can communicate within his section: Hand signals, shouting, or by going to each soldier and personally relaying commands...

    Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

    MKUs helmets aren't standardised nor do they cover a vast majority of the combat strength, not to mention integrated comms aren't radios themselves, they're earpieces that can be plugged into a rifleman's radio(s). The problem i've been getting at, is that radios aren't standardised for...

    Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

    No part of my paragraph stated that war-games and excercises should be abandoned, i stated the difference in their value compared to a joint training center. Read carefully. RR was raised because the army was bogged in COIN operations over maintaining borders, it arguably failed in that respect...

    Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

    Excercises/war games that offer value in subjective scenarios and training courses which have your tactics built around your doctrine are vastly different. Excercises are meant to evaluate first and foremost and offer course corrections, they cannot replace actual training itself. If excercises...

    Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

    Decades of combat experience yet we just figured out the importance of theaterisation and combined arms like half a decade ago. Still no joint training centers for standardised combined arms training for brigade level operations either, the only thing coming close being the occasional scripted...

    Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

    Nothing "gucci" about modern firearms, at this point i'm pretty sure guys like you would still be justifying poor equipment if the troops fought with sticks and stones. Depends on who the infantryman is. NCOs are usually versed enough having attended additional courses but jawans tend to struggle.

    Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

    Which means nothing. The Indian infantry has little expertise or understanding of firearms and ballistics beyond reliability, nor are they adequately trained in combat shooting, marksmanship, or even safety procedures beyond trigger safety etc. User reports are important but only in...

    Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

    Reliability of the AK-203 is questionable considering the performance of Russian gear in Ukranian. At the very least, the furniture used is dogshit and the 7.62x39mm caliber was superseded a decade ago minimum by the 5.56 which is lighter, smaller and has better performing external ballistics...

    I mean, most of the budget is eaten up by the MoD personnel.
