Indian Army: News and Discussion

[binayak95]

the IA, meanwhile, inspite of being riddled with a moronic brass, and having the inertia of Kumbhkarna, has genuinely excellent junior leadership, JCOs and NCOs, and the troopers have far better morale.

And speaking of theatre commands and BCTs, we have fought in combined arms brigades since WWII. We havent felt the necessity to go down to the sub battalion level because IA has enough manpower to do all its duties and then have some.

Its not our fault US Army and European armies have to recruit from a bunch of woke libtards.

My man hasnt seen the kind of firepower one battalion of IA's regular infantry can call upon.

Guy praises US Army to the heavens but the same force doesnt have the stomach to finish any fight since before Vietnam.
The individual US Army trooper, on the whole, suffers from bad to pathetic morale, doesnt have the morals of a proper infantry soldier, and is incompetent.

Their tech, NCOs make up for much.

The US Army will win any fight that lasts 6 months or less - you drag on the war, they will pull out and go home.

People here need to stop treating tech like it's some amorphous upgrade that automatically brute forces capability. Tech and training go hand in hand, you're not gonna learn the importance of light and laser discipline if you never had access to NODs and asspciated equipment in the first place.

"The individual US Army trooper, on the whole, suffers from bad to pathetic morale, doesnt have the morals of a proper infantry soldier, and is incompetent."
Morale isn't fixed, nor is it universally applicable, it's contextual. And it's weird ro be talking about morals when we recently got footage of the RR beheading a corpse and not for the first time at that. And i'm very curious what makes you think the average infantryman is incompetent.

"The US Army will win any fight that lasts 6 months or less - you drag on the war, they will pull out and go home."

All COIN on foreign soil is gonna end with a military heading home, the difference between a win and a lose is how well you do in leaving a local authority behind. Nobody wants slug it out for a war spanning forever for a country they don't care about.

So the local authority being .. *checks notes*
The vietcong
the Taliban
And an Iraqi shia govt that takes its marching orders from Iran
Great success !
I'm sure this does wonders for the morale of your nato grunt .

Unhappy New Year for the Gorkha Brigade, Downsizing and Ultimate Phasing Out Becoming a Reality

This government will be credited with ending foreign recruitment but also of snapping a strategic connection with a crucially located neighbour while opening the door to Nepali Gorkhas in PLA in the not too distant future.

Not sure if this is the right place, what do you think of this ?



I spent the last month in Pokhara, Nepal, the heartland of Nepal Domiciled Gorkhas (NDG) recruitment, interacting with ex-servicemen and other stakeholders. Not a single NDG has been recruited or become an Agniveer for nearly four years. Nepal has not communicated any reason for not subscribing to the Agniveer project.

General Manoj Pandey said this on Gorkha recruitment: “If they don’t decide soon their vacancies will be given to others”. As there has been no recruitment for four years, a shortfall in Gorkha regiment is being made up by Kumaonis, Garhwalis and now Nagas while other tribes are being considered. General Pande is also mulling over reducing Gorkha battalions. Indian Domiciled Gorkhas who constitute 40% of recruitment are not a match for NDGs. In 2017, 6/1 Gorkha Rifles was raised comprising 100% IDGs. It has become difficult now to preserve 6/1 GR’s IDG sanctity and content as few IDGs meet the qualitative requirements (QRs) even after lowering standards and fewer are available. So the plan to fill up NDG shortfall with IDGs is a non-starter.

Ashok K. Mehta, a major general, is a founding member of the erstwhile Defence Planning Staff now the Integrated Defence Staff.

Can someone explain what are this qualitative requirements are?

I would Assume it's Physical/intellectual Quals. Poor quality of recruit.

It's treason to send folks in the Southern command to active frontlines with such shoddy equipment/gear and poor training
