Ukraine war must teach India's 'bygone' Army to use same military model to stalemate China

The biggest lesson is how Ukraine defeated the superior information warfare capability of Russia. In India, our false narratives look comical at best.

Are our war doctrines similar to Russia's currently? Can any knowledgeable person elaborate?

Jab khud ye Army mai tha tab isne kuch nahi kiya, abb article pe article pele jaa raha hai.
I lost it when he said "Ukraine has a better industrial base than India", LOL, if thats the case Ukraine won't be literally begging for arms and ammo to the West.

Horrible after sale support from HAL. Sad state of affairs. Two of them crashed the third was then pulled from service.

I cant find any sources for this video, but it seems like bullet was hollowpoint or smth? It looks like that from all the lead being dumped into the gel.

Another lesson for India from Ukraine: DRDO must get its act together & get along with military

DRDO projects are victims of massive time and cost overruns, plus there's a trust deficit between them and the armed forces. These issues need fixing.

The story is not so straightforward, my friend.

DRDO's drone journey started in the 1980s, when the development of DRDO Nishant, DRDO Rustom, and DRDO Lakshya started.
DRDO Nishant development was completed by 1995 and was inducted into the army as early as 1999. Satisfied by it, Army ordered 12 more UAVs However, it was consistently plagued by issues and snags, and even with DRDO continuously improving it, all (4) of them crashed, and the program was officially canceled.

Meanwhile, DRDO Lakshya gained success and was ordered for target practice. Its successor DRDO Abhyas has also been successful and being used.

Whereas, DRDO Rustom's development kept on going for the next 29 years, only to take the first flight in 2009. Meanwhile, it still remains in the hangers of DRDO without orders, more than 40 years have passed. Although it has kept on crashing occasionally, here and there.

Regarding Tapas (Rustom-2), everyone knows as it is currently in testing and being improved, and hopefully, it will be inducted by 2025 (I am being very hopeful here).

=========================================================

So yeah, you can argue Army is the devil here, they sabotaged Nishant program, and the lack of interest by armed forces has slowed/halted the UAV development. But maybe, maybe it is the lethargic fat-bellied, samosa-snacking DRDO uncles with zero motivation and work ethics who has failed to deliver a solid product that forces can rely on, hence by default, armed forces developed a trust issue with DRDO products.

I wish to be alive to see a future where DRDO ll play the role of DARPA only .. only for futuristic technology .. DPSUs seize to exist .. multiple private sector companies working on various niche defence sectors .

Will make stuff expensive as f.

DPSU's are govt orgs, basically just shuffling govt money between departments in terms of profit margins. Only cost is labour + raw materials.

Private firms will make a killing in projects . US has to spend 2x of what China does, it isnt 2x as powerful.

Pakistan is there ...who is happily inducting chineese stuffs.....
And our armed forces are ... reluctant to induct indigenous. Products


Qrsam is not ordered
Helina / dhruvastra is not ordered
Nag atgm not ordered
These could have ordered in large numbers
