It does. Private companies don't run on love and fresh air. They run on profits - huge profits! Govt agencies are tweaked to deliver on as low a profit as feasible. Reliance sells gas as cheap as ONGC?

You apparently did not see the post and link I appended. It gives a whole vista.

Private defence contractors like the Tatas, L&T and Bharat Forge are involved in locally upgrading M46 guns provided by the Army to 155mm/45 cal in addition to developing their own 155mm/52 howitzers in collaboration with overseas OEMs. Some are also collaborating with the DRDO's Armament...

Even B Vehicles are modified to cater for the High Altitude and so are the tanks. There is no limitation that I noticed when I was there, and to be frank, I was there is a position where if things went wrong, my head would roll and I would be damned if I would allow my head to go so cheap...

Note the ignorance of the statement in bold. Marketing at best. Having a same calibre tank main gun does not in anyway give protection. Now if a light tank of today can hold its ground in any encounter, isn't it daft to have heavier tanks at greater costs and negative logistic & operational...

@Kunal, I have operated on both sides of the LAC as it pertains to us. Without getting into details, on the western side, there are adequate tank runs of operational import. On the Eastern side, it may not be in the classical tank manoeuvring space. Now, if we are to operate in TAR, what...

To destroy the supply logistics and transportation of Indian ground forces up to the LAC, the PLA plans include rocket artillery massed fire-assaults combined with air strikes. To war-game out such a theatre, the PLA conducted its first joint Army-Air Force live-fire exercise on the...

@Kunal Tibetan Plateau PLA tanks in Tibet TRISHUL: Weapons Deployed Inside TAR For On-Going PLA Exercises What will be the staying power of Light Tanks in TAR?

Are you aware how much it would take to lay the assembly lines and stations to manufacture a tank? Are you aware that in the US without Congress funding, no weapon can be designed/manufactured/maintained/upgraded et al by the commercial vendor? Is TATA capable of stand alone manufacture? Would...

A range of facilities feed into HVF's T-90S production line. Two OFB factories in Kanpur build the gun and breach block. Another in Jabalpur builds the recoil system, while another one in Tiruchiralapplli fabricates the 12.7 millimetre air defence gun. The sophisticated thermal imaging sights...

The recon team has to come out if they are to check and mark on the Ditch cum Bund type of area or in very congested subcontinental villages. They will obviously have protective NBC gear. Running along a substantial part of the 523-km Punjab border is the dcb (ditch-cum-bund), known in local...

Marking Procedures Marking warns friendly troops of contamination. Therefore, the signs are placed where they most likely will be encountered by friendly units. In rear areas the entire circumference of the hazard area may need to be marked. Individuals who find the contamination place the...

I reckon that it will be what the concept here will be based upon. After all, who wants to re-invent the wheel?

Direct Monitoring Direct monitoring is the simplest and most precise of the monitoring techniques. A radiacmeter is used to get an unshielded dose rate. Determine the unshielded (outside) dose rate by standing with the IM174 or AN/VDR2 held waist high, or 1 meter off the ground, and rotating...

This is a an interesting pamphlet to read NBC Reconnaissance http://tsg3.us/tnsg_lib/unit_dig_lib/fm3_19.pdf

Israel failed on the strategic, operational, and tactical levels. Israel did not succeed in generating decapitation, paralysis, blindness, or any other effect that substantially harms the will or functioning of the organization’s command and control echelon. Nor did it succeed in suppressing the...

I can't find the article, but it indicated that the Hizbs operated in small groups, waited in stealth, hit their targets and vanished! The same way as the Egyptians surprised the Israelis in the Yom Kippur War with suitcase missiles!!
