CAG reports have given India plenty of greif over the years from these ignorant and deluded fanboys on international forums but really it is a testement to the system working- failures are highlighted and corrected, in systems as opaque as China and Pakistan one can only imagine what the true...
Russian equipment being maintained at 60-70% availability is something to be lauded really, IAF maintainence crew must be working their backsides off to make that possible.
Obviously performance based logisitics (PBL) contracts are the way to go and why we see almost every single major defence...
Sensible move by GoI, finally they are waking up and treating Pakistan with one voice/policy accross the board. They are acting like an enemy and thus should be treated as such.
Any idea how many are being upgraded and at what rate?
+ ideally IA would also be fitting new 1000hp engines to the T-72s, especially those to be used in the mountains.
I don't think the recoil is massively higher than other 7.62x51 rifles:
The noise can be reduced with some specific design changes that aren't a huge task at all.
No, F-16/Gripen has NOTHING to do with the LCA project, it is simply an attempt to create capacity outside of the DPSUs and hence why the strategic partnership model includes SE fighter jets.
China is BADLY exposed by this entire fiasco, despite countless warnings and relentless propoganda from the Chinese side India has stood its ground and not a damn thing has happened. The noise coming from the Chinese was just that and the next time around who is going to take them seriously...
Whoa whoa! I was never a huge fan of the AK series but with these FAB Defence upgrades the rifle just looks so mean. Would love to see such upgrades for all of the AKs used by frontline police and army units as a 7.62X51 assualt rifle isn't coming anytime soon.
Doklam crisis begins winding down: Both sides reduce troops, China proposes new Sikkim border agreement
The 45-day confrontation in Doklam has begun de-escalating. Top army sources tell Business Standard that the number of Chinese border guards at the contested border tri-junction between...
I definetly prefer Major Arya to Rajeev Ranjan but I think the Major comes across a little too dramatic also- this could be compulsions of his network of course.
What happened to NDTV's defence reporting though? No more "Jai Hind with Rocky and Mayur", no more "Watan Ke Rakhwale" not even more...
Spot on.
Sadly, since the intial flurry of activity post-26/11 many specialist police units have remained largely stagnent and haven't really upgraded their equipment. They have the bare minimum in terms of weapons and personal protection but are so far off from what even the NSG are using, all...
Inducted by PARA (SF) after interacting with NSG during joint-CT exercises, good to see this kind of learning and building from one another within Indian elite forces.
This should be a surprise to absolutely NO ONE, Indian forces are 100% secular and inclusive of all faiths where ever member serves and prays alongside their brothers and sisters, celebrates their respective festivals and protects one another.
This is the reality the sickulars, Pakistanis and...
