Whole doctrine of this government is to make shift strategic balance heavily and make concept of war irrelevant.
India to spend USD 130 billion to modernise forces
- Thread starter INDIAPOSITIVE
- Start date
I think its to reference of multiple SAM systems almost all of them I guess: Indian Air Defense is getting a major boost in couple of years by 2021/22 following systems will be fully deployed in hot zones.
ABM layer:
AAD
PAD
S-400 <Partially>
Anti Aircraft/Cruise Missile:
S-400
Barak-8 or MRSAM Units
Aakash MK1/MK2
NASAM<Aim-120 C/D>
Spyder<Python4/5>
QRSAM
It will be a major challenge for enemy air forces to operate.

They can buy whatever they want. Its their choice. But on the serious note they will not achieve anything from this. Su 30 are one of the best fighters there are in the world but in the hands of IAF they are more like Flying Coffins. Crash Rates are higher.
T90 are one of the best tanks but with their cheap mentality and usage of sub standard ammunition their guns are being destroyed by Indian Army. Indian Navy is on another level with their stunt with Scorpeon class Submarine that not just hilarious but shameful. Indian have to realize that Pakistani are not the enemy but the Indians are their own worst enemy.
With a little tension on border they down their own Heli. It was not even a war it was just a skirmish. Money can buy u lots of toys but Armed Forces needs professionalism which they lack. Money cant buy you Professionalism.

India firms up $130 billion plan to enhance military capability
NEW DELHI, SEPTEMBER 10, 2019 18:57 IST
‘The government’s aim is to invest in capabilities so that the armed forces can effectively deal with any possible threat from either China or Pakistan.’
India has finalised a road map to spend $130 billion in the next five to seven years to modernise the armed forces and bolster their combat capabilities over rivals in the region, according to an official document and military sources.
The plan includes procurement of a range of weapons, missiles, air defence systems, fighter jets, submarines and warships, drones, surveillance equipment and developing infrastructure for extensive use of artificial intelligence, official sources said.
While India’s spending has remained relatively constant in the last 10-15 years compared to its GDP, China’s has significantly ramped up defence budget during the period.
“The government will spend $130 billion for fleet modernisation in the next 5-7 years across all armed forces,” the official document stated.
Multiple military sources said the government’s aim is to invest in capabilities so that the armed forces can effectively deal with any possible threat from either China or Pakistan.
Last month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced clearing a long-pending proposal to establish the post of Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) for boosting coordination among the Army, the Indian Air Force and the Navy.
The sources said the CDS will play a key role in implementing the modernisation drive in the three forces.
The sources said establishing India as a military power in the outer space will be another key aspect of the plan.
The government’s immediate priority is to fast-track pending proposals including procuring 2,600 infantry combat vehicles, 1,700 future ready combat vehicles for the Indian Army and paving way for supplying 110 multirole fighter aircraft to the Indian Air Force, they said.
“Infantry modernisation is a key focus area,” said a source.
The armed forces have been pushing for adequate allocation of funds so that they are well prepared to deal with the possibility of a “two-front” war on both northern and western borders.
Sources said government is aware of China significantly ramping up its air and naval powers, adding the aim is to equip both the the Indian Air Force and the Indian Navy with capabilities on par with its adversaries.
To bolster its operational capability, the Navy has already finalised a plan to have 200 ships, 500 aircraft and 24 attack submarines in the next 3-4 years. At present, the Navy has around 132 ships, 220 aircraft and 15 submarines.
The sources said the government is also determined to significantly enhance IAF’s overall combat capabilities and a detailed plan is being finalised.
The government is also working on a mega defence project to make the airspace over almost all its major cities, including Delhi and Mumbai, virtually impregnable, the sources said.
It is also inducting the first batch of its intercontinental ballistic missile system -- Agni V -- which is expected to significantly bolster the country’s air defence system.
The missile, with a strike range of 5,000 km, is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. Very few countries, including the US, China, Russia, France and North Korea, have intercontinental ballistic missiles.
In its missile armoury, India currently has Agni-1 with a 700 km range, Agni-2 with a 2,000-km range, Agni-3 and Agni-4 with 2,500 km to more than 3,500-km range.
The sources said the government’s focus will be to develop the domestic defence industry and key policy initiatives are expected to be rolled out for it in the next couple of months.

Pakistan needs F-16 BLK 72 + Chinese Type 52 Destroyers(6 of them) + Chinese Subs(8 r coming with VLS) these big ticket items and then upgrades to Infantry ... regarding tanks I suppose 200 Atlay will be sufficient for tech edge ... from above everything seems possible

That's the problem with this whole affair.
If Pakistan and China want to act than good - otherwise mere statements would just alarm the Indians and force them into spending big bucks on military purchases.
For China it would be a nuisance as they have a lot more resources but for Pakistan it could turn ugly. We can't afford to start a arms purchasing race as that would just bankrupt us.
As they say when you buy a gun. Don't pull it out unless you intend to shoot. The other guys doesn't know if it is empty or whether you realy intend to shoot or not - they will assume it is loaded and you i tend to shoot.
All this movement by us should be with a definitive plan to act at some point - otherwise we are just setting ourselves for a pointless arms race.
