Hmm, silos? There isn't that much space in densely packed India to hide that many silos....we do not have Siberia nor upper midwest US like Dakotas or Wyoming like open spaces, I guess it is possible but mostly Indian strategy is road mobile with priority shifting to subs....I do agree we will never see any confirmation or clarity beyond ambiguity.
So there is not much space to house 40-60 2m X 20m cylindrical silos underground in India? We have massive defence cantonments & airforce bases in the middle of cities, we have multiple weapons testing grounds throughout India, but we cannot hide some missiles in an empty open place?
Middle finger to Gripen,f21 arms lobby then!
It is not about that, I have seen some of the minuteman icbm silos (decommisioned) that were retired in the US and they are not really hosted near bases for reasons....I have seen two particular ones, one out in the open close to an exit in Montana (if I remember correctly) in the middle of a wheat field and one can't really recognize from outside and the other in black hills, South Dakota....both regions are thinly populated and hard to reach as the roads leading in and out are very few....Only countries like China, US and Russia has practical space for silos in numbers....just my opinion not that I am correct.
Government bans those things which we are able to make right now and leaves those which we can’t. It is as good as nothing except for election campaigning tool.
Plus the missiles are getting smaller vs 1960's liquid or solid ones and also silos are expensive, easy to target probabilistically in 2nd strike oriented country and also not very flexible. Indian railways would be great with our vast network if they can fig out a camouflaging strategy
then this confirms it !
It would be good but tanks are not that strategic vs aircrafts, AD and some other things priority wise.
Pahle termalimager-proofing suit to le le
Tanks aren’t strategic but tanks are tanks, I will any day prefer systems like NAMICA over surplus Tanks.
You never know what future will bring.
tanks will be enough for making the citizens believe in self-reliance.
Yes and we should aim for 100% indigenous in these things as priority vs tanks which are arguably a bit less research intensive and private companies like L&T and Tata can really step in but aircrafts, missiles and otehr stuff take lot more fundamental research.....only if they have to prioritize stuff based on cost, human resources and budget and risk
Being in a "different situation" doesn't mean you don't prepare for the worst case scenario. You prepare assuming that the worst will happen. And countries that want to sanction us can go fuck themselves. Every time we refrain from doing something due to fear of sanctions we nibble at our sovereignty.
we do y'all worry about mizzle! we r way superior to chinese at seeker.
There were some reports on NGMBT so tanks could be on the list.if true some dalals of t14 armata may need some burnol
Did they build a working prototype for NGMBT yet? I think its a bit too early to discuss things that are models like AMCA and other stuff....Army wont risk based on paper models, they will always hedge
