So Japan comes out of pacifist policy.

Japan's military can now expand and buy billions of dollars of new armaments. Prime beneficiary will be American MIC. So finally Trump has got the means to keep its support base intact as economy of certain States like Texas will get a boost.

I think Australia is also on a weapon buying spree.

China has set many balls rolling at once.

Good to see the forces being backed



Breaking: DAC delegated powers for progressing urgent capital acquisition cases up to Rs 300 cr to Armed Forces to meet emergent operational requirements. It'll shrink procurement timelines & ensure placement of orders within 6 months & commencement of deliveries within a year.

Oh yah ! for that one has to know when guns are fired in direct fire mode...
While reading about Namka Chu, we used ours in direct fire mode when Chinese crossed over to our positions and attacked. Sort of last resort for an arty crew?
