It was the de-mining effort that resulted in most casualties. Had a client once who served as a Captain in Op. Parakram mining and de-mining operations. Once he came to know I was an army brat he opened up slightly about the stupidities of the whole fiasco. I also vaguely remember reading in...

Why the hell not? 1) Kargil review committee clearly stated that counter insurgency operations are harming the army's primary objective i.e. fighting conventional wars. 2) Every other week some retired army officer will write a lengthy article lamenting about the shortage of officers in IA...

Imbeciles of the highest order. Hell, there are Porkis on the Porky forum whose words are worth 10x times than these morons who missed the evolutionary bus.

Finally!!! I was waiting for this to happen. IAF will end up with nothing if the theaterization takes place. Army will take up the plains and the hills and Navy will take up the peninsula and islands. Even if the periodical rotations of Theater CO among services takes place, IAF will be placed...

While I agree with the move, excuse given by army is pretty lame. Rs 476 crore spent annually on maintainance is not exactly a massive sum and the amount saved from closure will be paltry. On the other hand, MOD and IA have some of the best located lands in the country much of which is being...

Syria - A big no. Oman - Not a poor country and can buy latest equipment. Afghanstan - Most likely.

No Sir necessary, brother is fine. Yes personnel, equipment and ammunition shortages exists but they are not unique to India. There is a saying in Hindi if you understand, "Is hamam main sab nage hain". If you visit American sites they are crying over something, if you visit European sites...

I meant Josh is overrated for everyone not just India. PLA has its own demons and those demons are probably worse than India's.

Welcome to the forum. You can find older structure on Bharat Rakshak. Only changes that I know of are that the infantry sections now have 2 LMGs (INSAS) and an RCL team. RR and Assam Rifles units have 6 companies instead of 4 in the case of a regular infantry. Maybe. PLA also has its own...

Lack of a capable NCO corps is dragging Indian services down. The friction between officers and other ranks are increasing everyday. From my own observation, a quarter if not more men who are joining the army as OR are graduates and more. I personally know a few of them. They too attempted NDA...

That's all good but where is Ram Mandir and POK is still not a part of India. Modi needs to go.

@Adioz Afghan forces are in far worse shape than Arabs. If nepotism can change that then I am all for it. In a country which is war torn with few or no functioning state institutions to fall back on, men with largest armies will decide the future. This is where the Indian military ties will...

I was thinking about this only a few days back. One of the few reasons BriSHITS still hold sway in the Arab world is that a significant chunk of the senior officer corps has studied in Sandhurst. India had and still has a chance to pull off the same in Africa. In 10-15 years time, if...

Armed forces screwed the pooch, royally. AFMC is one of the best of its kind, only behind AIIMS Delhi. Despite this superbly successful example, armed forces failed to capitalize on it and the result is in front of everyone to see. Had armed forces entered the business at an opportune time...

Damnnit!!! I was hoping that this gets through. Atleast now we know that NG7 cleared the competitive trials against Bulgarian PKM.

Ramdas Athawale is one hell of a MAHA CHUTIYA. He also believes that there should be reservation in Indian cricket team and SC/ST should have their own separate grounds. No one takes this cunt seriously. PS: I repeated the same shit written in the article. Should have read the source...

I think IA shot itself in the foot when it started looking for 7.62 NATO "LMG". OFB did do a good job in putting MMG (MAG 58) on a diet to a very acceptable 9.3 kg but is it "light" enough? Weight penalty on section gunners will not only take away any advantage 7.62 NATO was supposed to offer...

I didn't get you mate. My point was to enter biathlon with the standard issue T-90 and see how it and our crews perform against the best Russia and China has to offer. Chinis modified their Type-96 right after its LESS THAN OPTIMAL performance in the earlier versions. Russians were using pimped...

Looks like an absurd thing to do. Unlike China & Russia, India should have used this opportunity to learn not brag.

They most certainly will screw up. Some generals will end up with lavish farm houses in Delhi and the rest will conveniently blame "bad apples" for their incompetence.
