It should be shamefull that they equipped each of their infantry soldiers when they spend most of their defence budget on R&D and they have 5 branches of military, we just have to equip our special forces. These weapons on display are used by our special forces, and the US Infantry is far better equipped than our special forces.
Whatever they spend on equipment purchases like small arms is still much more than our entire $70bn defense budget half of which supposedly goes towards salary and pensions.
I didn’t compare the Infantry of both countries, I compared their 1.3 million Soldiers of Infantry to 6000 Special Forces of India, and their Infantry is better equipped than our Special Forces. Our Special Forces are special just for name.
Zarrar does the role of NSG not RR.
The strike mountain corp is already less of funds...Marines concept is laughable.
Indonesian Kopassus are pretty badass too.
Similar for the Malaysians (PASKAL) and Philipinos (light combat battalion)
According to official website of US Army, Infantry Soldiers make up only 15 percent of the Army force.
Thats because you are an Indian with all due respect and thats the logic the whole forum follows.
Not exactly.
By 2050 when world will be using laser weapons and UFOsNot exactly.
I prefer Indian SF because
1) the Indian military is far more capable than the Malaysian military, and
2) special forces are just ‘the tip of the spear’. There’s a lot more than just the tip that’s required to make a spear lethal.
3) in other words, a good SOF unit is practically worthless if the rest of your military is worthless.
There are some other reasons why I would prefer Indian SF, most notably, this
4) the Indian economy has the potential to surpass that of the US, and therefore, the Indian military budget has the potential to surpass the US military budged.
.
By that logic Chinese PLA should be among the best..but is it?Not exactly.

The same thing which stopped MoD from buying MP7 instead of MP5 for NSG, even though cost was same - bureaucracy.
According to a retired top US military officer, Chinese navy is second only to US navy and may become the most powerful navy by 2050, all because of its economy.
in 1961 US was flying the u2 with the same budget and experimenting the SR71 ..where are we?The same thing which stopped MoD from buying MP7 instead of MP5 for NSG, even though cost was same - bureaucracy.
Red tape delays weapon acquisition, forces obsolete guns on NSG gaurds
Bureaucratic red tape, complex clearance procedures and lack of political will has delayed the arrival of submachine guns and also made the government choose an obsolete version of the weapon.www.indiatoday.in

Economy is pretty much everything bro. It's the most important thing.China’s global Navy eyeing sea control by 2030, superiority by 2049 - The Sunday Guardian Live
I assess that the PLA Navy by 2030 will consist of a surface force of over 450 ships and a submarine force approaching 110 submarines, an almost 10%www.sundayguardianlive.com
India is projected to be the largest economy in the second half of this century. If and when this happens, India will have the most powerful military on earth.
This is the implication bro. There's no way around it.
Pardon me, I didn’t understand your question.
60 years ago US was experimenting SR 71
China’s economy is still smaller than the US economy. China is still technologically behind the US. For instance, Chinese semiconductor industry is estimated to be four years behind US.
