A failed bankrupt nation having much bigger army than their geographical area a perfect recipe for disaster. It's good most of their budget is sucked in defense with no visible outcomes.

"Just reflect. If we had the clairvoyance of battlefield surveillance in depth and adequate long-range firepower at our beck and call, Galwan would not have happened at all!"

This forum news and discussion was posted in 2009. Such a long time ago, isn't it? Anyway, I got hooked with the discussion and it seemed that the flow of the messages was cut. I am interested in what happened after when .v0id said on March 9, 2009 that the NSG focused on heliborne ops? Like, was it successful? Did the military benefit from them? Plus, what is the update with Tauquir? I am also not sure if the person I think I know regarding the name is right. Correct me if I am wrong, but is he the Pakistani former military officer and administrator who was also the Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) between 1999 and 2003. And if my memory serves me right, the lieutenant general served as Director General Military Operations during the Kargil War in 1999 with India.

New Delhi: The Indian armed forces have selected Saab’s AT4 anti-tank single-shot weapon. In a press release, Saab India said that the weapon system has been selected by the Indian Armed forces through a competitive programme for a single-shot weapon.

AT4 will be used by the Indian Army and the Indian Air Force, Saab India said. According to the company, the AT4CS AST can be fired from confined spaces such as buildings, bunkers and urban environments. The contract to supply the weapon system to the Indian Army and the Indian Air Force was signed by FFV Ordnance AB.

"We are honoured that the Indian Armed Forces, which are already users of our Carl-Gustaf system, have also selected Saab for their single-shot weapon need. The Indian Army and Indian Air Force can be confident in the knowledge that they have the necessary firepower to give them the advantage," Görgen Johansson, head of Saab's business area Dynamics was quoted as saying in the press release.

Can confirm theatre-level preparation/war exercises are going on for IAF. Might be routine TBH, happens once a year to keep our skills sharp.
