None of our casualties have been due to obsolete gear. If a team gets ambushed, the first round burst causes the maximum casualties. No amount of gear can stop this kind of attrition in an asymmetric war. What % of casualties have been because the BPJ was bad quality? do you have any data on that? you are just parroting what the Western defense contractor pay Indian media to say, to create a false sense of shortage of equipment.
"Unless you buy American weapons, your soldiers are ill-equipped" - presstitute logic
Did you see the video where the US soldiers were ambushed recently, despite their fancy gear?
Did you care to check casualty figures of US troops in Afghanistan? 3k US soldiers died in Afghanistan, and 5k in Iraq over the last 20 years (400/per year), despite their mine protected vehicles, and firing from a safe distance using drones, artillery and other heavy gear. India loses about 20-50 soldiers to insurgency every year.
so here you go
you are comparing the situation of kashmir with those of the afghanistan and iraq . somebody is really missing wood for the tree
here we have nearly 7 lakh soldier thus making it the most soldier density region in the world
now when you have to tackle a group of 5 or even less than these terrorist and you end up loosing equal number of guys and mind you these terrorist have to face atleast 200 soldiers
then whom to blame
now asking for more protection for our guys who are repeatedly loosing lives in action is pressituting for some one
i assume people who are having this sort of mentality will never ever be within the long periphery of decision making process
as it is nothing but absolute retard logic
yes our country is resource deficient no one is denying that ,but there is something called prioritising
we have to protect our soldier who are in active counterinsurgency and loc duty
the rest in camps can wait
now coming to your stupid argument about nato grade gear
we must not be ashamed to try out the best thing in the world ,you want to copy russian farmers going for soldiering and in the process getting culled in the world war then good luck to you
but no thanks our army deserve better
now if you put some effort and bothers to search and read then ay be you can learn
in kashmir
garud commandoes were killed due to faulty helmet
all those sog of kashmir police and army are devoid of bare minimum protective gear
these are not my words these are the cag report ,
and mind you here we are not even facing an iota of battle hardened herd which usa army has to face in afghanistan and iraq
you mean to compare the situation in which an invasive army which has toppled a govt. and now facing the wrath of the toppled who are actively supported and funded by other power in the region
just go and read northern alliance despite support from india and iran were useless against taliban and how effective is their firepower
i mean how many times army has to face a situation in which they are far outnumbered by the enemy,roadside suicide attack,landmines ,rocket launcher
regarding your querry about video /footage
yes i accept i have seen the footage
and regarding maoist
the less said the better
as i have seen much worst than to be spilled out here, if you want to see the situation of paramilitary why dont you come and see how we are managing
i wish sb has enough guts to send his near and dear ones to fight with these gears
so cut the crap, INDIAN LIVes too matter
IA SHUD GIV HIM SPECIAL TREATMENT SINCE HE IS VVIP
