Assuming we have to prepare for war in next 2 months, I was wondering what do we need urgently.
We can imports some stuff from USA. USA has huge military industrial Complex and “if it wants” then it can supply us war equipment. Though they will charge for it but FMS system makes the issue of price less controversial.
With Russia the fear is that they will Gently delay the arrival of emergency stuff for few months to let the Chinese Consolidate.
So the Equipment we can try to Get from USA Can be:-
General
Satellite pictures, SIGINT, COMINT, ELINT on movement of Chinese forces
3D Maps of the Terrain
UCAVs like Predator, Reaper with Hellfire missiles
Army
Welfare
Tents
Winter Clothing
Snow Scooters, Snow Ploughs, Snow Tracked Trucks
NVDs, Thermal Imagers, Observation telescopes, Binoculars
Satellite Phones
I am presuming that we have adequate routine stuff like medical supplies and ordinary trucks for logistics
Small Arms
Optics, laser pointers, red dot sights for small arms
Silenced Carbines
M16A4 with optical scopes
GPMGs, HMGs, AGLs
Ballistic Computes for Sniper Rifles
Sniper rifles, AMRs
Medium Weapons
Carl Gustafs & Ammo
RPGs
Radio Guided TOW
Javelins (Russian Kornet E, Israeli Spikes)
Stinger Manpads
Heavy Weapons
M777s
Excalibur 155mm Shells
GPS fuses for converting normal 155 shells & 120mm Mortars into PGMs
Truck mounted Guided MBRLs
I am assuming that we have adequate number of 81mm, 120mm mortars and ordinary shells & Ammo stocked up
IAF
Apache with Hellfire missiles, CH-47s alongwith with DIRCMs, Jammers etc
Escort and Self Protection Jammers for Jaguars
ASRAAMs for Mirage and Jaguars
JSOW, JASSM, Paveways LGBs, CBU-105 to fired by Jaguars & Mirage
While we may want lot of stuff from USA but it will be difficult to induct in short time. So I have noted items which we can be inducted and used on the fly. Jaguar & Mirage 2000 are NATO platforms and it should be easy to integrate weapons with it quickly
Note – I have intentionally left out AMRAAMs as I have doubt that it will be given or can be integrated quickly. Though 100 Second hand F-16s with AMRAAMs C-9s can be game changer, but such induction will take atleast 2 years.
Navy
Airlaunched Harpoons for Jaguars, Helos and P-8s
Torpedoes for Submarines
ASRAAMs for Mig-29Ns
What are the Urgent things we Require from OFB-DPSU-Pvt Sector ??
Army
Welfare
Tents, construction material
Winter Clothing
NVDs, Thermal Imagers, Observation telescopes, Binoculars
Satellite Phones
Small Arms
Optics, laser pointers, red dot sights for small arms
Silenced Carbines
GPMGs, HMGs
Ballistic Computes for Sniper Rifles
Sniper rifles, AMRs
Medium Weapons
Carl Gustafs & Ammo
Indigeous ATGMs
Heavy Weapons
Hopefully Kalyani ULH 155mm will be ordered. If this thing drags on then it will be useful
Guided Pinaka, Prahaar, Pralay, Nag & Namica if the face off drags beyond a year
IAF
Making existing LCA fully ready for war
Astra Missiles (to stock up when the imported missiles run out, in case of intense war)
Navy
Torpedoes for Submarines and Ships
What are the Urgent things we need from Other Nations Like Israel & Taiwan??
General
Satellite pictures, SIGINT, COMINT, ELINT
UCAVs
Suicide Drones Harpy & Harop (Taiwan also has equivalent systems and we should get it from them also to stock up quickly)
Army
Welfare
NVDs, Thermal Imagers, Observation telescopes, Binoculars
Satellite Phones
Small Arms
Optics, laser pointers, red dot sights for small arms
Silenced Carbines
Rifles with optical scopes
GPMGs, HMGs
Ballistic Computes for Sniper Rifles
Medium Weapons
RPGs
Israeli Spikes missiles
IAF
I-Derby for LCA
MICA-NG from France for Mirage 2000
Air launched PGMs and Cruise Missiles
I have tried to leave out Russia but if they also add in then the most important things we need from them
General
Spare parts for all Russian Equipment
Army
Medium Weapons
RPGs
Russian Kornet E
Heavy Weapons
Smerch Rockets, Tockhka, Iskander
IAF
