"Given that Indian security forces have repeatedly clashed with both Pakistani and Chinese troops during recent border disputes, potentially destabilizing developments in India’s nuclear arsenal should concern all those who want to keep regional tensions below boiling point."

India’s Nuclear Arsenal Takes A Big Step Forward - Federation of American Scientists

Would you classify the sabotage of Arjun and now probably fmbt by IA as 'GADDARI' or is it an overreaction ?

It was just a sarcastic post.

at second glance at the list, i think this is not just "a" list, looks like we might be witnessing early days of a shift in strategic military doctrine. more weapon systems that come under tactical category than strategic category.

could also be the case that i am over thinking this. need more data to see if this is the case.

Ya'll Nibbiars In simple word the MK1A is a world beater just that it lacks a APS and some other things which can be added. But our Firangi Lobby is too strong to achieve this.

What was strategic yesterday is tactical today. A 500 km range ballistic missile is only tactical now. Soon they will demand a 1500-2000km tactical bm missile too.

Agni prime if converted to carrier killer will be called tactical in that sense.

Strategic now is Hypersonic glide and Hypersonic Cruise systems .

Anyway most of our strategic needs are fulfilled with Agni and K series . So r&d dollars are flowing for tactical and mixed use weapons.

and the percentage of systems in the list which are of 200mts to 100 km range.

 

[IndianHawk]

and the percentage of systems in the list which are of 200mts to 100 km range.

I feel 100 km range is now a days just standing Buble for a well equipped army.

I mean your artillery hitting 40 km away , your Sam hitting upto 40 km . Presence of armed helicopters with stand off anti tank missiles with army. Loitering munitions various drones.

It's like if enemy is at 50-60 km away he is basically poking your Buble. It's more like hand to hand combat at this point.

Ya'll Nibbiars why contact pappa when the khangress is running a private government under the MODs.

Why 3 months

Ya'll Nibbiars Trial basis.

[Covfefe]

It was slated from the moment they created a Department of Military Affairs and CDS as its head(analogous to a Secretary to the Government of India heading a department). Good that they're implementing now.

 

[Haldilal]

Ya'll Nibbiars In simple words our FICV is as messed as this one's.

ISRO should also do this

 

[NeXoft007]

250km range 420mm diameter Pranash SRBM will debut soon. The same Pranash will be used as booster for AD-1 ABM which is too gonna be tested next year. Both missiles will feature 6 cannister TEL.

 

[THESIS THORON]

ISRO should also do this

they are not able to do their basic stuff of launching rockets from past 2 yrs, let them focus on that.
