It's interesting how in India if you're an Atmanirbharta supporter, you'll be called an ISI troll but if you're a Rafale glazer, you're considered an intelligent patriot. We have literally zero Atmabodh & Shatrubodh.
The reality of ToT manufacturing. When it comes to war the domestic industry doesn’t have the ecosystem to upgrade, modify, service or supply at surge rates. India will fight at the mercy of foreign powers whims.

The K9 Vajra is manufactured in India, but much of its underlying logistics architecture is not organically connected to India's wider automotive or military-industrial ecosystem. Its engine, transmission, suspension and other specialised components are tied to a foreign-origin design and, to varying degrees, depend on imported or specialised supply chains. Consequently, the Indian Army cannot necessarily draw on the same domestic component base that supports trucks, armoured vehicles, tractors, engineering equipment or other military platforms. In a intensity setting, I wonder how serviceable it will be.

When China fields a fifth gen aircraft against India, it cannot be matched by anything other than an imported fifth gen aircraft. After all, if you send 11 Hockey players on to a cricket field it would not be a match. Ask me if you need more information on war.

When Pakistan fires 155 mm Howitzer at India, it cannot be matched by anything other than an Indian 155 mm Howitzer. After all, if you send 11 Hockey players on to a cricket field it would not be a match. Ask me if you need more information on war

Artillery in Ukraine has shifted to favouring longer range static pieces rather than SPH/SPGs. They're easier to camouflage & protect, much harder to kill & easier to produce. I don't think people realise how persistent ISR has become & drone dense the 'lower air' is.
Pakistan now has an edge over India in self-propelled and wheeled guns, with 438 M109 tracked 155 mm howitzers, 60 M110 203mm heavy SP guns and 250 SH-15 155 mm/52 truck-mounted howitzers; that's over 700 guns vs India’s mere 100 K9 Vajra-T in service. 7:1 advantage over India not just parity. With One tenth of defence budget. While Indian Army is busy frustrating Bharat Forge, who is now exporting to Armenia.

The best thing to happen to our IAF would be a succession of Chiefs who show optimism, patience & belief in Indig MIC. It's our only hope as a country long term.

Pakistanis will r**e Balochis irl & then turn up on the internet to cry about Palestine. We made such a massive mistake by not Nuremberging these people after 1971. Should have supplied all their army cucks with a lovely measure of rope & hood after what they did in BD.
Remember we were "very weak" to help kids in Gaza but are now too strong once Aramco has been targeted.

The modern left is deeply imperial in it's inclination & even more obsessed than the right in colonising the mind. They may hate Hinduism & the nation She birthed for different reasons than the right but the abiding hatred persists all the same.

Those who come and talk much about arty, have little to say… Maybe ATAGS is ‘too heavy’ like the Arjun, in our case… Ditto for MGS arty systems.

Or you run a competition with a million dollar prize pool for the private sector & students. You lock out companies over a certain size to engender competition & award any student labs additional resources to prototype & scale their projects. Win-win for everyone.
We could partner on this with Poland for our LC / LAC

Why would you ask the IAF this question? A separate drone force emerged from within the Armies of both Ukraine & Russia. They are deeply wedded to infantry support, CAS, logistics & FOFA despite also wielding strategic bombing capabilities.
#WATCH | On creating a drone force, IAF chief Air Chief Marshal AP Singh says, "Drones are not revolutionary to the Indian Air Force, but evolutionary. We are growing the number of drones and loitering munitions. Whether we need a separate drone force, I don't think so. They should be a part of the same setup, and we have to be operating together. These have to be together along with other weapons so that they bring in that effect. We cannot be operating one type of weapon separately somewhere and another type of weapon separately. So we have not thought of having a separate drone force."

The same journalists who were bouncing in their studio chairs with visceral excitement when HAL was excoriated within earshot of their colleagues suddenly don't want to ask the IAF-GOI about FGFA & AMCA delays. Funny that.

Russia has offered Su-57 jets but no decision has been made on it, says Indian Air Force Chief Air Chief Marshal AP Singh. #IAF #IndiaAirForce (Full video available on PTI Videos - ptivideos.com)

Captain Smit used the transponder to transmit : Squak 7700 (general emergency) @ 5:28:48 UTC Squak 7500 (hijacking or unlawful interference) @ 5:35 UTC The above two while being assaulted and stabbed by a terrorist. Opened the cockpit door despite serious stab injuries and loss of blood. For anyone calling this a conspiracy , try doing even one of the above with puncture wounds on your neck and abdomen. Shameless !
What has been odd is the lack of injuries among the passengers after the plane plummeted 17000 feet. Also the plumber then stabilising it. When the Air India flight with a stoned pilot dropped 300 feet, 17 passengers were injured. Some badly #airdubai ndtv.com/world-news/near-sup…

Free rides are for the politicians who will never be gegen pressed by 'journalists' over why China can manage SOEs & Indigenisation so much better than us. For everyone else, from the scientists to the average citizen, lashings of lascivious turpitude.
No free rides for the Tejas-Mk 2 programme - the fighter has to be rolled out, tested and proven: Def Secy RK Singh says, ''As of now LCA Mk2 is still on with the first flight scheduled for the middle of next year. Let the prototypes come and the Air Force evaluate them and thereafter, we'll see ... The requirement they had projected was for 120 MK-2 aircraft but let them deliver the prototypes and then let them be evaluated and then, we'll see thereafter.''
