Indian Army chief General VP Malik (retd) claimed on Friday that foreign countries had overcharged India for satellite images, arms and ammunition needed to meet the sudden military requirements during the Kargil conflict two decades ago.“In every urgent purchase during the Kargil war, no matter from which country, they exploited us as much as they could. When we approached one country for few guns, initially they promised us, but later supplied refurbished old weapons. We were short of some ammunition and when approached another country, we were given 1970 vintage ammunition,” Gen Malik revealed during a panel discussion on ‘Make in India and the Nation’s Security’ on the first day of the Military Literature Festival here.Gen Malik, who headed the Indian Army during the Kargil conflict, disclosed that for each satellite image India purchased at the time, it had to pay Rs 36,000 and those images were not even the latest ones — they were three years old. Elaborating about the notion that the Indian Army was fond of importing weapons from abroad,

he categorically said abject failure of public sector units to fully deliver the required weaponry was the only reason for this.

What is the source of the design and the engine? Please don't praise screw driver giri. It is unavoidable but we should not eulogize it.
