Camouflages and Uniforms of the Indian Armed Forces, The Past, Present and Future

[nongaddarliberal]

Let's face it. We're all still sitting in Cope Department (pvt ltd) Headquarters

I'm sure most of us were hoping for something like this: (Multicam but with greener and darker colours).

Instead we're getting some digital camo that looks like a PLA knockoff. And the Army will be wearing that for the next 20 years.

Our new camo may not be the best

But it's definitely better than just copying the camo of our colonial masters. How would it help the self esteem of our soldiers ?

Ya'll Nibbiars no pixilated forms of the Central European Camouflage dose not exists atleats in the main stay and also it dosen't even have slight similarities with the older PLA Type 07 pattern both have different colour scheme and also the pixilated forms is totally different.

Wouldn't it hurt the ego of an Indian that his country was enslaved for 200 years & his people had to fight on behalf of their European masters ? Or should I glorify, that British used Indians to defeat India.

It hurts that doesn't mean we should bury their history. They may have fought for the british but many fought because of their condition

Well, I guess it's time to glorify the Opium Wars . How British used Indians to bring the Qing dynasty to its knees and how Chinese are still salty about it.

That's not the issues.

Yah , and we should also contemplate why we haven't been able to replicate that kind of war outcome since the British left.

 

[Marliii]

No. we should do what suits our best. their is no worth on if they are american or british or russian what suits us is ours.

I am sorry sir that you didn't get your British mtp. I can't help it. And not everyone wants it. That all from my end.

I hope it’s not tucked in that would ruin the whole uniform. I hope Army atleast changes that.

A good read. US marine Corps started using a similar (not same) pattern in 2001.
