I would have argued Parrikar is perfectly capable of doing so but Modi is not a man who wastes time.

SO much BACKLOG has to be cleared and has been cleared

For example ; Our AN 32 crashed ; now we know that it did not have some BASIC equipment
like some beacons or devices which give signals coming from under water

Now this will become top priority ; Then there was some news earlier about
Rifles ; Parachutes ; BPJs

All small things add up to a Big sum of money

Fortunately PAF has its own problems ; that has given us space

At least Parrikar and Modi are putting in efforts ; but Funds are definitely limited

Funds being limited is a total red herring bro, last year the Indian Mil returned >$1BN USD in unspent CAPEX.

I concede that this GoI inherited a HUGE backlog and they have started chipping away at it, no doubt about it. BUT there are also some low-hanging fruit that they haven't plucked and MP has thrown a spanner into multiple procurements.

The Rafale deal could be one of Modi's crowning acheivments in the defence field during his first term however.


On the procurement front I'm willing to give Parrikar a 7/10, overall his performance is around a 4/10 though.

"did not have some BASIC equipment"

How was the Dornier found :(

They transferred it to revenue expenditure ; anyway the Central government finances are
bad because the previous govt just BURNT money on many wasteful schemes

The debt of previous govt has to be repaid and economy boosted at the same time

Anyway That is another topic ; a huge topic

Parrikar has done a lot on several fronts ; we discussed it in that Antony thread yesterday

If he could have 10 Billion dollars more he would have have purchased all that we wish for

Well of course bro but there are also some things that he could do that would not cost much money at all on the reform/policy front that he has completely left untouched.
