Indian Army to place orders worth Rs 15,000 crore for indigenous weapon systems

The Indian Army is going to place orders worth around Rs 15,000 crore for indigenous weapon systems including Akash missiles and ALH Dhruv helicopters.

The Defence Acquisition Council, led by defence minister Rajnath Singh, is expected to make orders for two regiments of Akash missiles for the army's air defence and 25 ALH helicopters for the army's aviation wing, defence sources told India Today.

The two projects will boost the capability of the Indian Army to defend the boundaries of the nation, they said.

The force is also looking at acquiring 25 ALH Dhruv Mark 3 helicopters for its aviation squadrons.

AKASH-S MISSILES
Speaking about the Akash-S missiles to be acquired by the force, sources said they are a new variant of the Akash missile system with a new indigenous seeker which improves accuracy and helps in taking down enemy aircraft and cruise missiles at distances up to 25-30 km.

The missiles are capable of performing in extremely cold weather conditions in Ladakh and meet all the requirements of the Indian Army in mountainous and other regions along India's boundaries with China and Pakistan.

It's mountain warfare ,indian army trains many foreign militaries in this skill , unlike pakis who just call any place with snow as 'siachen'
This was also a competition where mixed unit troops were sent. Mountain warfare troops weren't the only one who participated in this.

Don't know why.

Even in the SF competition, 10 para and regulars had participated. Don't know why army is doing this combination.
