War means war. Period. If the war yields no results, what is the point? Coming back, what is the big deal about nuclear bombs? Do you even know about nuclear bombs other than rumours and old wives tale? Why speak of topics which you don't understand?

India does not yet make 3rd generation NVD tubes. India makes other optics and wven the gadget for NVD like scope, circuit etc. But 3rd generation NVD is imported. India does not export NVD tubes. It may assemble the imported tubes in Indian equipment and export it.

Devil and his demons What is short and swift war? What war ends in short and swift manner? These are just minor skirmishes. The short war is a useless war that does not permanently solve problem but only limits it for the time being. The real war is being avoided due to petroleum trade. But...

For a minor skirmish, it won't be needed. But full-scale war will need crores of soldiers and crores of people in logistics, manufacturing of goods etc. Don't forget that India makes 12000 cars every day, 50000 scooter/bike every day, 1000+ tractor, bus, truck combined every day. The entire...

War can't be declared just like that. For that a build up is needed and it will be noticed quickly. Also, do understand that the requirement is not inventory but manufacturing and scaling ability. In WW2, USA alone sent 1.2 crore soldiers when USA population was 12.5 crore. So, an inventory for...

I don't think Modi govt is that lax as to allow serious corruption. Also, the Army general appears to be a good man. It is not just about money but also about imports. India does not have 3rd generation GaAs NVD tube manufacturing. But India is in advanced stage of development. It is unwise to...

BPJ is very thick and can literally suffocate people in the heat of the desert. More people will die of dehydration due to BPJ than in war. Individual night vision is very expensive and can't be given. The equipment is not old. Those helmets appear to be kevlar helmets itself. If you are...

Actually many companies are owned by congress politicians and hence resort to supporting congress. But most non political business prefer BJP. Congress does not ask for commission.. They don't allow private industry at all. They simply block the projects altogether or go for imports. The same...

Read my above comment and you will get the answer.

Do you understand that India is not buying Ak103 but only getting the license? India already makes Ak47 and this license is to make AK103. a few years back, a person from Kalashnikov company of Russia had come to India and expressed disappointment at India manufacturing Ak47 without license! So...

Gatling guns waste too much ammunition and provides limited accuracy. In war time, ammunition supply logistics is not simple. USA has advanced logistics and is fighting an inferior enemy. Hence they can use such guns.

I would not blame heavy level of protection as that is essential. Also, the plates are removable. Lack of MOLLE is the only problem I see. But MOLLE also has its own disadvantage in carrying small devices like matches/lighter, compass etc. Also, MOLLE need not offer a significant advantage if...

Government inks Rs 639 crore deal for 1.86 lakh new bullet-proof jackets for infantry soldiers NEW DELHI: The Army’s ordinary infantry soldiers are now finally going to get some desperately-needed modern bullet-proof jackets + under a Rs 639 crore contract inked on Monday, even though they...

FYI, these western countries seldom gives any meaningful ToT to India at all. The reason CHina has these sanctions is because they know that Chinese capability is good and any arms sales will make China quickly gain experience and make an alternative indigenously. In case of India too, ToT is...

Hmm... So, the cost for setting up of plants for private industry will also be given by government? Then it will cost that much initially and then reduce drastically for next orders. If most of the money is going for investment, it is money well spent. I don't understand why do we need Tavor...

Are you sure that this is imports and not make in India? Even make in India needs sanction of funds

72,400 Assault rifles and 93,895 Close Quarter Battle Carbines (total of 166,295 rifles) have been cleared by DAC for 3,547 crores Cost per rifle comes to 2.13lakh per rifle on average. About 10 times more than the expense for INSAS.

Why is one rifle costing 2 lakh rupees or 2k dollars? Even USA buys M16 for 700 dollars with magazines. Why is India paying so heavily? This is about 4-5 times the cost of USA. India should have been much cheaper place and the cost must have come down to 350 dollars normally

Source code is everything in air defence. We don't need ToT for missile or seeker. Misisle can be reverse engineered, seekers are already in advanced development

That is unbelievable. Need confirmation. I am not sure if Russia will provide the source code for the technology of intercepting
