That's probably because they want to free up the ₹₹ for the DRDO-made MPDMS. This is a sly way of transitioning. Though I pray for the sanity of the dude who manages the inventory of MANPADs in our Army. :lol: Or MAYBE they want to get rid of the old tanks so that they can clear the...

If they don't increase the capital budget allocation, I am going to write a very insulting letter to Rajnath Singh's office and tag all his secys (their email IDs are public).

Bad idea..Afghans are not exactly compatible with our concepts. Nepalis are culturally the same as we are. You can't compare the two. These cadets can be an exception, but making it the norm would be ridiculous. Remind me again, wasn't it the entire ANA of 3 lac+ that refused to fight Taliban?

Then why the hell did they create the Vice-CDS position if this was going to be the plan? Isn't Vice supposed to succeed the principle position for any reason? Make no mistake, I fully support Gen. Manoj Naravane's candidature (he is smart, quiet & focuses on getting things done), but then what...

Armed Forces facing a shortage of 9,362 officers: Ministry of Defence Army has a shortage of 7,476 officers and 97,177 soldiers including Junior Commissioned Officers. The three services are facing a shortage of 9,362 officers and around 1.13 lakh soldiers, airmen and sailors, according to...

Jaishankar is making a lot of Russia-friendly moves. I think this is the government's way of "getting back to the centre" than veering too far to either east or the west. If placating the Ruskies is the agenda, then I'd rather see Igla-S in than see HAL LUH cancelled for Ka-226T.

Our forces pay scant attention to the life of individuals as we are a manpower-based military force. This socialist crap about turning the military into a job-creating machine has to go. The focus then is only on quantity and you are just a number, and in case you are not more, just a ceremony...

^^ Well. This gives a finger to those stupid peaceniks who're planning to dilute AFSPA. I was getting sick with worry that the idiotic pacifist terror-loving GOI will agree to pseudo-rights activists and dilute the act.

This is great. Russian troops performed poorly in the 2 Chechn wars and merely won because of brute force and VVS's aerial campaign in the flatlands of Caucasus. Our Army specializes in mountain warfare and high altitude counter terrorism. Despite SPETSNAZ's fierce reputation, they at that time...

The best strategy here is to be ruthless and fire even when they're on the Pakistani side of the fence. Ignore the uproar that Pakistan creates stating that "Pakistani forces helped Indian forces by eliminating terrorists" (sarcasm intended). The thing is our military and BSF has orders not to...

^ At last, a Service chief openly said the matter out. You know, I have a gut feeling that the military (all 3 branches) is having some serious difference with the stupid government elite and this rift is getting more and more serious. I don't remember IAF and IA being so vociferous and open...

We need Dr. Kalam to lead the military BIG TIME now especially since China and Pakistan have formed an open nexus.
