yes but context to consider 1. I dont think Pakistan's Production under lisence includes the seakers (i could be wrong) 2. A number of those Paki missles are past their shelf life. 3. in a conventional war ManPads hold more currency in the Mountains (high altitudes) and in Urban places (against...

Fair makes sense

Then why not give the Helmets to the guys with NODs? or it will look even more odd in a PR photo? Face masks - any idea what those are? Unless its NBC masks running Balaccava's or masks in the desert doesnt seem like the smartest Idea - those Sunglasses would be fogging up.

I have so many questions on this picture 1) Are those Ballistic Face Masks (Second Soldier from the right) 2) Why are those with Helmets without NODs and the NODs on those without Helmets? 3) Is this a SOF unit or Infantry unit - which unit? 4) Is this an AI Generated Image?

Honestly the culture of the NDA/IMA is also the tell fresh LTs (early 2nd Lts) to listen to their JCOs and learn. But ultimately command falls with them.

Platoon usually a LT or sometimes even a Captain. if the Battalion is short of officers then JCO (Subedar) Platoon is made up of Sections which would be lead by a Havaldar

Because those countries spend fuckall on their Vets? Doesnt France like also have a commission system? That is the point of Agniveer I guess

I would Assume it's Physical/intellectual Quals. Poor quality of recruit.

To better understand the Rot in our Armed Forces. (old article but sadly still relevant) http://www.indiandefencereview.com/news/military-arrogance-of-seniority/

Add in 1-1.5 years to train on the equipment to deploy in the field

Apologies but that was a horribly framed question. My views only: While we in India we believe that Macho Man / Family Man of Indian Army sufferes no PTSD - mental health issues are rampant through the forces. If death was in Uniform the Military SHOULD treat is a work related death...

Hmm. I have heard there are a host of limitations. An Agnvineer and his family can access Military Healthcare for the rest of his life ? Again I could be wrong. Happy to stand corrected.

I think (could be wrong) but agniveers are treated as any contractor for the Army. No benefits. Whether that extends to burial formalities or not don't know.

1) we have ~$600bn of Forex Reserves. 23K Crore is ~3bn? dollars? 2) Most of what we are buying - we have no equivalent (matured tech) in India. Will still take sometime to get production volumes to steady state let alone testing and refining. We need this kit yesterday - the wolf is at the door...

Listening Devices + ELINT + AI could translate in real time.

Probably except that the R73 probably cost more than the drone and we have limited inventory.

Think you missed my point. I am sure Pralay is / will be a great weapon system. BUT For every one we will launch they will launch 50. So before let's get our house in order to deal with the blow back alongside deploying Pralay. On its own it means nothing really.

Also dont forget that MAJORITY of People who sign up for the Army come from Abject poverty. With Zero Nutritional Value through their formative years. Even things like no access to good potable water, sanitiation good health care fucks your system. And this applies to not just the Jawans but...

Lets first put adequete Akash and other (Layered) SAM Coverage against the Chinese first. Shooting those Pralay missles would be easy. Dealing with the counter response from the Chinese Rocket Forces would be a whole different ball game.

Can you imagine a brand new LT making decisions for his squad :lol: You give the best optics to your best Scout/Marksman/Pointman of the unit.
