[waz]

How damaging are the Maoist IED devices? Is it a case of the CRPF being poorly protected or the Maoists being able to build high explosive IED's?

pappu ... its better to keep shut than opening your crappy lil mouth:

WASHINGTON, Sep 19, 2014 - The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Pakistan for 160 Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles, spair and repair parts, and training, etc., for an estimated cost of $198 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale today.

The Government of Pakistan has requested a possible sale of 160 Navistar Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles to include (110 MaxxPro Dash DXM, 30 MaxxPro Base DXM, 10 MaxxPro Dash DXM Ambulances, and 10 MaxxPro Recovery Vehicles with protection kits), spare and repair parts, support and test equipment, publications and technical documentation, personnel training and equipment training, U.S. Government and contractor engineering, technical and logistics support services, and other related elements of logistical and program support. The estimated cost is $198 million.

The proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a country vital to U.S. foreign policy and national security goals in South Asia.

The proposed sale of MRAPs will ensure that Pakistan can effectively operate in hazardous areas in a safe, enhanced survivability vehicle, and improves Pakistan’s interoperability with U.S. forces. By acquiring this capability, Pakistan will be able to provide the same level of protection for its own forces as the United States provides for its forces. Pakistan, which currently possesses MRAPS, has successfully demonstrated the ability to operate and maintain the vehicles in counterinsurgency and counterterrorism operations, and will have no difficulty absorbing these additional vehicles into its armed forces.

The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not affect the basic military balance in the region.

The principal contractor will be Navistar Defense Corporation in Madison Heights, Michigan. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale.

Implementation of the proposed sale will require approximately two (2) U.S. Government and twenty-four (24) contractor representatives in Pakistan for a period of approximately 18 months to perform inspections and deprocessing of vehicles upon delivery; provide assistance in installation of vehicle accessory kits; provide fault diagnosis and repairs; perform corrective maintenance, to include accident and battle damage assessment and repairs; conduct operator and maintainer training; and conduct inventories and maintain accountability of USG provided material.

There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.

This notice of a potential sale is required by law and does not mean the sale has been concluded.

How damaging are the Maoist IED devices? Is it a case of the CRPF being poorly protected or the Maoists being able to build high explosive IED's?

Both.
The areas Maoists operate in are jungles and poorest districts of India. Areas where there is just one road. And so CRPF must travel on the same road. Maoists get to plant IED's easily on them.

And they simply up the explosive content.

We are paying customer.Delivering them to India would be headache of US.

No.
US is offering them on an 'as is, where is' basis. That means we pay for the equipment in Afghanistan and it is onto us to get it to India.

So U.S arms through Iran?? To a shipping port to bring to india

Yes. And done quite easy. India would be the owner of those goods if purchased. All we have to do is get it into Iranian territory.

 

[flameboard]

I don't think the us much control over those vehicles anymore. And local governments probably need/ want them more

I wasn't talking about these vehicles, the whole world knows about the aid given by usa.

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

I wasn't talking about these vehicles, the whole world knows about the aid given by usa.

As if india doesnt take AID?

 

[Cheetah786]

Those are CRPF not Indian army my friend..

Those are Indian CRPF whos bills are also paid by INDIAN GOVERNMENT . Just like Indian army purchases which are also paid by INDIAN GOVERNMENT.

 

[Cheetah786]

The whole world also knows about India receving aid from the world obviously few Indians pretend not to know it. Not to mention India was the largest aid recipient in the world.

 

[IndoUS]

Those are Indian CRPF whos bills are also paid by INDIAN GOVERNMENT . Just like Indian army purchases which are also paid by INDIAN GOVERNMENT.

They have different budget, and completely different from army. They don't get much budget since they are reserve police force, Indian police is already badly equipped with vintage WW2 era rifles. So for them to ask for MRAPs which cost a lot of money is a bit much.

 

[Lostsoldier]

As if india doesnt take AID?

Compare the amount of aid,if you are talking about the aid provided by then we don't need that lol

 

[Avik274]

Those are Indian CRPF whos bills are also paid by INDIAN GOVERNMENT . Just like Indian army purchases which are also paid by INDIAN GOVERNMENT.

Their budget is lesser than 13 bn rs...So that would be their intelligent buy...

 

[chhota bheem]

when the news of US handing over those to Pakistan surfaced,the first thing came to my mind was,why cant we buy them cheap and give it to the forces fighting Naxals.

If CRPF gets them it will greatly improve their ability to fight naxals

 

[nair]

How damaging are the Maoist IED devices? Is it a case of the CRPF being poorly protected or the Maoists being able to build high explosive IED's?

Combination of both.....CRPF is not equipped adequately, they may be having few high tech vehicles, but not everyone is protected.......

India does not take any aid
