India-China 2020 Border conflict

Volume-prototyping that I talked about. No time for lengthy evaluations, orders, and commissioning.

I

I don't see any turret there.

Not pics from that specific tweet, i mean you put TATA WhAp or Kestrel in google image search or news, you get pretty much the same vehicle with a BMP2 turret on top.
DRDO WhAp and Kestrel look to be the same thing

 

[ninja hattori]

IT has DRDO WHAP written over it.. Still prototype i guess. Is it just one .. that has landed.. ?

Finally the private sector getting the kick.

Right, but the one being splashed around looks like is geared towards surveillance.

either surveillance equipment or a RCWS with ATGM launcher.

Pretty much confirmed it’s a JF-17 crash otherwise they would have disclosed what kind of fighter jet it is.

So Called ” Rafale Killer ” Comes Crashing down in Pakistan – Indian Defence Research Wing

12.5 billion is till good for 1 year.

Helmet for 2 mil troops= 400 million.
Sig 716 for 2 mil troops=2 Billion.
Body Armour for 2 mil troops=4 billion.

These things are basics at least that should be taken care first.
U can buy Quad NVG for 22,000 SF at about 1 billion.

Way to go....what the heck are those mirrors for? Do all IFV's have them, haven't paid attention to bmp's in a long time.

Ya'll Nibbiars that the Suprise its the total Capital Expenditure budget for the Four services. So an increase of 9,000 Crores compared to the previous years Nibba. The Out of our 70 Billion US Dollars budget we spend only 18 percent on the Capital procument's ofcourse that excludes the infractures capital cost but our annual spending is much less compared to the Russia Japan with a similar budget. Even the Melcchas spend 25 of their budget on the Capital procument's.

Why would they go for sig 716 on such volumes when an ak plant is being set up under license? I think IA has too many different types of small arms issued to various types of forces.

First kick out useless chaps filled in MOD then u will see steep increase in cpaex.

Isn't that attributable to exchange rate magic as both those other countries have local MIC....we still have smaller budget as we are smaller in size compared to them but I think part of it is attributable to not having MIC

For high altitude warfare in places with no foliage like in Ladakh.. SIG 716 with 7.62 * 51 rounds are deadly at long ranges.. so I think we should have a healthy mix..

yes IFVs do have rear view mirrors along with mirrors to see other positions around the vehicle.

Stryker IFV

K 21

Boxer
no sensor can replace mirrors, at least for now.

Lots of hardware flexing today by Indian military and suppliers. Coupled with that Moneycontrol oped that "India shouldn't talk to China."

War is happening.

This is a debate that is occuring since WW1 about range, lethality and so on. I think new AK's are more than enough in that terrain. We really need to cut off imports and any deficiencies needs to be addressed by local MIC. This will never end otherwise.
