Suspected IED found near Navi Mumbai schoolInternal security is surely being upgraded but that’s not the issue. Fact is the source for almost all of India’s security challenges exists outside of its borders so an internal clean up will only ever have limited value.
Realistically India just isn’t doing enough to strangle Pakistan.
Some changing is happening albeit slowly. That 'jugaad' armored Stallion saved lives today. However unless our MiC comes up and fast, we will have some drainage in terms of capability acquisition.There is NO defending this govt for their failures to implement reforms in procurement and how glacial modernisation hasn’t moved under them.
BUT I think you need to see this in a different light.
Indian leadership isn’t clueless about the realities nor are they cold heartedly psychopaths that care not when a jawan loses their life- I’d say the majority of the NDA and even INC leadership are genuinely anguished by this.
HOWEVER I do think Indian leadership has resigned itself to this reality and chosen to take the lesser of two evils as they see it- absorb these hits every now and then whilst allowing the economy to grow. They don’t want to get into a shooting war, they don’t want to destabilise the region/world and they don’t want to focus on defence- all things that would take away from the growth agenda.
Like it or not that is the reality and I can understand the logic but my own opinion is this deal with the devil will only get India so far and there will be a reckoning for it.
If they were taking this seriously you’d see local/state police being upgraded to at least 21st century standards but instead they remain 100s of years behind.Suspected IED found near Navi Mumbai school

This....is why INTERNAL CLEANUP is necessary!
1) I 100% agree under this govt upgrades can be seen on the ground- IMO financial powers for local commanders have been increased and hence why you see pretty much every open top gypsy in JK being converted with armoured plates Andrew other things.Some changing is happening albeit slowly.

Turkey has pissed off US and Russia wants to squeeze them for $$$. Time is ripe for promotion of perivate industry to fill up the gap.
Sure..and you will never know about the INTEL CAPACITY upgrades that has happened for the past few years.If they were taking this seriously you’d see local/state police being upgraded to at least 21st century standards but instead they remain 100s of years behind.
No doubt about it Indian intel capabilities are up there with the very very best- i would say in the same league as Israel and Russia (US in a league all of it’s own), Europeans far behind.Sure..and you will never know about the INTEL CAPACITY upgrades that has happened for the past few years.
Upgrade the int. gathering..as a priority..thats what is logical..Investment priority I mean...thats a costly affair..a very costly affair
Well!! we do mock the umricans in Middle east failing with all the awesome gears but bad int taking them whole sale
A lot of POLICY CHANGE Is in effect and unfortunately in a democracy it has its own hurdles to run.1) I 100% agree under this govt upgrades can be seen on the ground- IMO financial powers for local commanders have been increased and hence why you see pretty much every open top gypsy in JK being converted with armoured plates Andrew other things.
2) don’t tell me the products don’t exist in india. All major CV makers in India have world class armoured vehicles on offer to the armed forces. IA playing typical games and living in la la land.
I had this discussion with a state Top Cop once.about arming cops with high tech tools..No doubt about it Indian intel capabilities are up there with the very very best- i would say in the same league as Israel and Russia (US in a league all of it’s own), Europeans far behind.
But in terms of first responders and investigators on the ground India is pathetically outdated and now where near.
Who said anything about arming the cops to the teeth?I had this discussion with a state Top Cop once.about arming cops with high tech tools..
his question to me was
"WHY DO YOU THINK ITS NECESSARY TO ARM A COP TO TEETH WHEN HE IS MANNING 99% UNARMED CIVILIANS at any given point of time...WE DONT HAVE GUN CULTURE LIKE AMERICA"
His reasoning seem very logical...and for the contingencies there is always special forces and right now them boys are very special with upgrades
Everything is NEED of the HOUR based.
Yeah I did see that video.Who said anything about arming the cops to the teeth?
Just giving them basic equipment like collapsible batons, personal radios, stab-proof vests, pepper spray, handcuffs and body-cameras is enough. It will make every officer a force multiplier
Giving every policeman a crappy uniform and a lathi isn’t exactly cutting edge.
Did you see the pathetic spectacle of 10+ police men in Delhi unable to subdue a single Sikh with a Kirpan?
A kirpan is a real weapon. Unfortunately our cops are only armed with a lathi..Who said anything about arming the cops to the teeth?

I think Cops should be adapt in this simple stuff like disarming.A kirpan is a real weapon. Unfortunately our cops are only armed with a lathi..
Bro almost all police body work cameras aren’t offline- they don’t stream a continuous feed to a central source but record onto a overwriteable hard drive. They are mostly for evidence collection and oversight purposes- basically function as a flight date recorder. Record for a finite period and are then overridden after a set amount of time.Yeah I did see that video.
Body camera..is one thing..That would solve a great deal of issues.,,May be the bottle neck here is the IT Infrastructure to support it to actually make the feeds USABLE.
Lets see if them is already doing something on the IT INFRASTRUCTURE to support the feeds and for real time forensics. Lets say we are looking at a hugeeee amount of video feed per police station.
Such will be on priority anyway I guess
Well!! the discussion we had with the cops was for arming them cops with STUN GUNS and that was the response we got.
I suppose already some things are on the move about modernizing the police force.
Lets see.
