Army wants next war fought with Indian technologies: General Rawat

Indian Army chief General Bipin Rawat on Friday said it wants to fight the next war with Indian technologies.

"We want to fight the next war with technology on our side and not like the past," General Rawat said at the release of the 'Compendium of Problem Statements, Volume II' here.

The compendium has been prepared by the Army Design Bureau (ADB) after detailed interaction with all stakeholders, including soldiers deployed in the field.

Pointing out the drawbacks in trial equipment, he asked the industry and academia to focus on the fact that the Army will fight wars in varied terrain and weather conditions, a Defence Ministry release said.

He asked the industry and academia to come up with robust, rugged, miniaturised yet technologically compatible solutions.

The 28 new problem statements, part of Volume II, will allow industry and academia to understand the needs of the Army and come up with indigenous solutions for military requirements.

The first volume, with 50 problem statements, was released on December 5 last year.

The ADB, inaugurated last August, has been formed in a bid to meet the Army's longstanding need to create and modernise weapons indigenously.

It facilitate the weapons and technology building efforts between the Defence Research and Development Organisation, industry and the Army.

Indian soldiers 'treated like slaves' as complaints grow against Army online

Dissent within the Indian Army is increasingly being aired out in public via social media, as another soldier made headlines on Tuesday with a Facebook video about the treatment of troops.

In recent months soldiers have come forward to voice a number of complaints, mostly surrounding the behaviour of superior officers and general working conditions.

Jawan Sindhav Jogidas posted a video online in which he claimed that soldiers were being “treated like slaves”, fed substandard fruit and vegetables and beaten for objecting.


"The jawans (soldiers) are given the lowest quality of food which is just enough for survival. Some officers keep jawans as slaves but no one can speak against the officers," Mr Jogidas alleged.

He expressed regrets about speaking out, but said he felt he had no other option.

"I was punished for raising complaints," he said. "Army is the only service where combatants were forced to serve officers.

"I am sure that Army won't accept these complaints. I did not want to speak about the Army in public or social media, but I had no other choice but to raise my complaint in public.”

The Indian Army has rubbished the accusations and claimed an official response would be released soon, India Today reported.

They did however release a list of misdemeanours Mr Jogidas is responsible for, including refusing to clean bed pans in a military hospital and outstaying his leave.

This is the not the first time a soldier in the Indian Army has raised concerns.

A couple of months ago, another soldier, stationed along the border in Jammu and Kashmir, said that troops often have to serve on “empty stomachs”.

Tej Bhahadur Yadav also posted a video on social media, where he accused officers of “illegally selling off” supplies that were intended for soldiers, News 18 reported.

"Governments change, but our situation doesn't change… We only get a paratha (piece of flatbread) and tea as breakfast and this is without any pickle or vegetables.

“…We slog for 11 hours and at times we have to stand throughout the duty hours. For lunch, we get 'dal' (dried, split pulses) which only has 'haldi' (turmeric) and salt, with roti (piece of wholemeal bread). This is the quality of the food we get.” he said.


The Border Security Force responded to the allegations and like the Mr Jogidas case, they claimed Mr Yadav was also a troubled single case.

“Constable Tej Bahadur as an individual has a difficult past. From initial days of his career, he needed regular counselling.

“Different correction mechanics have been applied for the individual's welfare as he was habitual offender of absenteeism without permission, chronic alcoholism, misbehaving and using force with superior officers,” the force said in a statement.

Pakistanis making fun of Indian Army which is transparent and answerable to the public.

If we dig deep into the Pakistani army then people will know how a punjabi soldier is superior to other regions, How the converted chowdaries, rajputs and others treat their sub ordinates.

Your Military do not even respect civilian leadership leave about public and the soldiers.

Speaking about Britishers, The world knows how these turds used to treat Indians, India people and people of other nationalities.

History is evident how the english barbarians did numerous genocides and how they showed racism towards other people. These guys still have audacity to point fingers at others.
Actually the pakis making fun of our army is quite rich because these beggers will send their "jawans" as cannon fodder for Arab shikes through a back door conglormate called simply the fauji foundation
As a person bought up in the gulf i know this for a fact
I look at the news with a postive tint
Even our jawans can complain theres are just slaves

Saudi Arabia has historically remained Pakistan's closest defense partner in the Middle East, with both countries sharing extensive military and intelligence cooperation. Military relations between the two were expanded in 1967.[2] Former Saudi intelligence chief Prince Turki bin Sultan described the level of cooperation as "probably one of the closest relationships in the world between any two countries"[5] while Pakistan's ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Naeem Khan, stated that Pakistan considered Saudi Arabia's security as a "personal matter".[6] The Pakistan Air Force has been in contact with the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) since the early 1960s. Following grievances over British military cooperation in the 1960s, King Faisal turned to Pakistan's assistance for air force training and maintenance.[2] In the 1960s, Pakistan helped the RSAF build and pilot its first jet fighters.[5] Pakistan Air Force pilots flew RSAF Lightnings in 1969 to repel South Yemeni incursions on Saudi Arabia's southern border.[5] Many Pakistanis continue to serve in the Saudi Army and as combat pilots in the Saudi Air Force.[7]

Pakistan deployed troops in Saudi Arabia for "security duties" in the wake of the 1979 Iranian Revolution.[8] Pakistani troops also participated alongside Saudi forces in quelling insurgents during the 1979 Grand Mosque Seizure at Islam's holiest site in Mecca.[9] A protocol was signed between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia on 14 December 1982 following the latter's request for military manpower assistance. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, up to 15,000 Pakistani troops were stationed in Saudi Arabia, to provide defense to the country.[5] Some of them were part of a brigade combat force positioned near the Israeli-Jordanian-Saudi border.[5] As of the Gulf War in 1991, up to 13,000 troops and 6,000 advisers from Pakistan were posted in Saudi Arabia.[2] Under the 1982 protocol, cooperation was widened to include military training, defense production and sharing, and joint exercises. Contingents of the Pakistani Armed Forces have frequently participated in joint military exercises inside Saudi Arabia in conjunction with the Saudi Armed Forces. Pakistani military presence in the kingdom continues presently, providing Riyadh support against internal and external regional threats.[10]

The Pakistan Navy and Royal Saudi Navy also share wide-ranging maritime cooperation, having conducted a series of joint naval exercises.[2] Officers of the Royal Saudi Navy were provided training by the Pakistan Navy during the RSN's formative years

Was this really necessary?

“The Indian and Pakistan army troops exchanged greetings and sweets on the occasion of Pakistan Resolution Day at Poonch-Rawalakote Crossing Point and Mendhar Hot Spring Crossing Point today (Thursday),” said defence spokesperson Lt Col Manish Mehta.
