    Good PNVGs go for ~30,000-40,000 dollars in the US so should be ~24-32 lakh per peice for us. Not sure about helmet cost, thats also there in the doc Still, about 30-40% overpriced IMO. Perhaps its normal for "expected cost" to be high? Maybe for budgeting reasons.

    I didnt change the world, but I did get to make a loitering munition (or atleast the prototype for it, college didnt give further budget 😭)

    AFAIK, in SF (atleast seals) they dont have "combat medics" per se, just a squad member who has taken a course in advanced first aid as one of his specialisations.

    But most SOF get killed by actual troops, not lynched by villagers unlike some I can think of :troll:

    Did I say that? Nope. All I said was, troops are needed in numbers, both to hold land and to replace inevitable losses. If I had to put a number to it, 1.25:1 for the average American to the average Indian.' Nope, mechanisation is even less applicable here. Mech infantry/armoured regiments in...

    I think he meant the accidental pointing of a firearm on a friendly troop, not a deliberate murder of fellow soldier.... Would be very alarming if our troops started trying to murder each other during exercises, that would be front page news 😁 ...

    The whole shenanigans about "cutting manpower" are fine till you realise you need more than a well kitted infantry to fight wars - What do you intend to plug the gaps with? 200k troops with average gear are much more effective than 120k troops with good gear. Mordernisation rightfully should go...

    Not to be a grammar nazi, just pointing out its flagging not fragging. Frag is usually short for fragmentation, the term is used in explosives and all.

    You do realize that a mutiny is the most shameful and disgraceful thing a soldier can do? In a functioning army like ours, the farthest that any "mutiny" has gone is few scattered cases of fratricide, which were unconnected and impulsive. It sounds good to shout out the most radical solutions...

    Its good in a way that jawans take orders blindly, its not their job to argue with superiors. It is their superiors job to look for their inputs, and its the superiors fault that they have neglected to do this.

    Check medical corp of army, they have had women since decades. And they didnt make it to frontline combat yet, no need to be worried about SF.

    TBH, killing 200 with one bomb isnt that hard (especially when you consider cluster munitions), the point I find major here is your first point - that there will be 200 troops out in the open at the same time conveniently waiting for the bomb, concentrated at the hilltop. Pakis had dug into...
