Exactly there is no diversification based on mandates of each unit
This is exactly why the expansion of Paras starting in 1978 and then Blowing up in 2003 was extremely retarted.
See, it used to be like this:
9 Para- Mountain specialists
10 Para desert specialists
21 Para- NE specialists. (1 para was turned to SF before 21 Para SF for absolutely no reason whatsoever).

Then expanding 2 Para and 3 Para in 2003 was semi justifiable, but then again, completely failed to modernize. Although 3 Para has a excellent record as an SF unit.

Bro mini drones have proven to be quite effective against personnel and armor.
Russians managed to defeat Bakryiytar or whatever it’s called later on.

Russians just have absolutely retarted tactics
See if u guys are going to mini or small drones like loitering munitions or small drones carrying bombs or etc then it has future and a good weapon too
But when it comes to bayraktar or male drones then case is specific like if u have a credible AD then they aren't much effective but can do some damage
But if u have no credible AD then it will definitely create havoc on the enemy

When u are invading u need to be very careful regarding all aspects to move forward equally but practically not possible so u will face some serious damages but afterall u have to be prepared for as u r invading
Coming to LM army is procuring and learning too
They already have harop they have ordered various LM and small drones carrying bombs too

Russians moved up without any AD or anti drone system. Hell they were even using tanks without infantry. Their tanks were sitting ducks for them.

Spetsnaz obliterated. Infantry getting harrassed by drones. Tanks sitting ducks. Worse they were supposed to survive APFSDS. Getting wrecked by rpgs. I know different types of munitions but still armor from both side performed like shit.

Good PNVGs go for ~30,000-40,000 dollars in the US
so should be ~24-32 lakh per peice for us.

Not sure about helmet cost, thats also there in the doc

Still, about 30-40% overpriced IMO. Perhaps its normal for "expected cost" to be high? Maybe for budgeting reasons.
30-40k dollars is for civilian market , its around 5-6k for military units maybe even less for mass order.
Most companies provide small no. at discounted price to mil units as it can bring big business in future.
Its way more overpriced than 30-40%.

Say what??!!

They always have been when used without the proper tactics and support.
Worse they were supposed to survive APFSDS.
Only from the front, which they are more than capable of.
Getting wrecked by rpgs.
Just stop.

Because a war like this has never been fought before, and no rulebooks or SOPs yet exist for this kind of warfare!!

GPNVGs hadn't evolved much until 2018-19 where ECOTi capability, white phosphor tubes and variable gain was added along with fused TI-I² tube tech which obviously adds up a bit tp the overall cost not to mention the ballistic helmet and gsgm mounts. Variable gain on a NVG, especially a helmet mounted one is very-very critical aspect for having a higher sense of lateral vision apart from the approx 100° FOV which is half the FOV of human eye. Many NSWDG/CAG guys retorted to using PVS 31s for several operations.
