Indian Army Empowered to Fast-track Special Equipment for Commandos

. .
4th regiment of BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles for Rs 4,100 crore.

Two regiments of Pinaka multi-barrel rocket launchers for Rs 2,136 crore.

10,000 Konkurs-M anti-tank guided missiles for Rs 1,223 crore from Russia.

10,000 3UBK-Invar missiles for T-90S tanks for Rs 1,386 crore from Russia.

15,000 3UBK-Invar missiles for T-90S tanks for Rs 2,079 crore from Bharat Dynamics.

66,000 "armour-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot'' tank shells for Rs 1,386 crore.

Two troops of Heron UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) for Rs 1,200 crore from Israel.

145 M-777 ultra-light howitzers for $ 647 million from US.

If all these acquisition along with 197 LUH and ATGM is signed this then it will be the best year for army. I am surprised that no committee is set up for Army air defence....

Iam getting tired of these "articles" of Army and its mordernisations....

Anthony is trying to fix the awful arms procurement procedure, but by doing so he has also completely choked procurement.

I think India deserves a better defense minister. God knows the forces do.

Artillery, air defense, infantry kit, air force trainers, submarines.....

The List of massive shortfalls is mind blowing.

So Antony as DM was a Epic failure ...for keeping his image clean he did 0 accusations since 2008 from when he has sworn in...

Only deal which was he managed was a Third class Tatra Truck which was no better than our civilian truck sold at double the Cost...


So a Devil like A Raja is Much better than Angel Mr. Clean like Antonio opps... Antony ;)


What that tells me is that there are problems associated with defence deas and corruption NOT AK ANthony fool. This guy has to tread slowly and cautiously, thanks to politicals idiots why will try to lynch him if he messes up. You ave no clue what you are talking about.

Sad you rather see corruption what a mindset. You think corruption would help the procurement process? You got to be kidding me right? Use your pea sized brain and understand the problems that we would face in such an envionment.

One of the best prices of news I've head in a long time! IA SOF (from what I've seen recently) already look great and well equipped and now rey are going to get even more kit! Can't wait to see more in Indian SOFs in the future!!
 
.
So.. it wasn't a bad idea to leak the letter after all. Whoever did this knowingly or unknowingly.... should be rewarded for his great national service!!

Not for LUH, it seems to be getting delayed due to irregularities
Yeah i heard it but i don't just go and blindly believe in everything what Indian news agencies says. I think now its time for LUHs becuase it looks like HAL has also given up...God knows what they are waiting for ?? Its the 4th year now since the HAL showed up the mock-up of LUH but not even one flight of LUH yet....WTF are these people doing ?? Waiting for another licence to produce product ??

I will not take childish insults lightly.

Fighting corruption is one thing, completely shutting down procurement when the threat level in our part of the world is skyrocketing is another.

Our troops deserve the best equipment today, considering they are being asked to prepare for a two front war against two very militarized nuclear powers. Shutting down the process because of anonymous letters (M777), losing bidders complaints (197 luh), and sheer laziness (no tenders for AA guns) is madness.

At the rate Anthony is moving, India's military will continue to have massive holes in their capabilities for at least another 5 years. What if India is attacked and defeated by better prepared, and equipped foes (China comes to mind)?

Will a better procurement procedure bring back the soldiers who died because they lacked basic equipment?

Will a better procurement procedure regain the territory lost to the enemy?

Will a better procurement procedure wash away the humiliation and fear such a defeat would cause to the national psyche?


Think about it carefully.


ending xorruption is important, but not at the cost of combat capability. The procurement process should be fixed, while the forces receive the kit they need, simultaneously.
