Just compare Capital Budget. Equipment's cost almost the same. We spend much of our money on maintaining existing equipment or purchasing new ones. Which are important along with Infantry gear. Rest all is upto the Top Brass which they think is more important.
It pains me too but we cant just hop on trends we aint got that capital to do.
Quarter Zip T-shirts are suitable for every climate except the cold climates and will be much more easier to maintain for the average soldier and cheaper to replace( for regular materials not fire resistant ones).
Ya'll Nibbiars yeh kya anyone baat hai.
Asan bhasha me bole
90% of these were personal purchases and not from Army funds
Ya'll Nibbiars Tul mahati nahi tar me Kai karu.
Yup because it’s sold in shops in Cantonments and canteens for personal purchases .
At first they imported american stuff for their SF then slowly they started making everything from upgrade kits to laser designators. Look at zenit co. now they produce everything, if only SSS got the same support from our forces.
You know these shirts actually have to be functional too, the material on the sleeves has to tough and the midriff material has to be breathable. Pockets have to be functional. I hope these are functional too and not just for the looks.
SSS has the manufacturing plant ready?
Well 60% fleet being upgraded means as a whole in combined arms we srill won't be profficient to fight at night. For us night fighting is a niche luxury. A big chuck of our entire warfighting framework is not compatible with what is upgraded.We have about 2600+ BMP-2s in our mechanised forces, only an initial batch of 970 were upgraded with the Alpha Design Technologies Thermal Imager Stand-alone Kit (TISK).
Post the clashes with China another similar upgrade was sought this time with a TISK and a thermal commanders panoramic sight, along with an FCS upgrade for 800 pieces. This most likely includes the 156 additional BMP-2s ordered around the same time.
So 90% of our BMP-2 fleet not being night blind is still inaccurate as once the upgrades are completed it will still be about 60% of the fleet.Indian Army seeks to upgrade more than 800 BMP-2/2K ICVs
The Indian Army (IA) has invited expressions of interest (EoIs) from local vendors by 16 October regarding the planned upgrade of 811 of its licence-built BMP-2/2K...www.janes.com
Sorry didn't mean to say Dhruvs are not a bad option. For a SOF aviation unit you will need all types of fixed and rotary wing assets to complete a range of missions. Dhruvs are short legged with limited payload but have the advantage of a high ceiling. Great for the mountains and urban environment. Limited for long range missions.
Not in indigenous product for SSS case, they are literally a very new company. Army did conduct Sniper Trials for them. They should target State Police and Paramilitary will help them get First orders.
Specify in detail how SOF is basically blind instead of lacking.
Yeah saw that, But thats what i said Army wont go their reason is genuine too. SSS Defense could Target the State Police and CAPFs for their need of Snipers atleast.Small arms and Light Weapons
1st image of SSS-D AK-47 upgrade kit Same as the one pitched earlierdefenceforumindia.com

Ask him the main question, where’s the AR-15 they’re working on.
I wouldn't take this as norm for one, for another the Para airborne has been running a lot if quarter zips for some time now.
