Indian Army plans to create close-to-real battlefield situation for trainin

[Ashoka The Great]

Seeking to provide a close-to-real battlefield situation for its troops to train, the Indian Army is working on a Rs 40-crore plan towards modernising infrastructure at two of its main field firing ranges in Pokharan in Rajasthan and Babina in Madhya Pradesh.

“Under the plan, we are looking to develop the firing ranges into world class integrated training fields for our troops”, Army officials said. The modernisation of the two firing ranges would be a follow-up of the upgradation of infrastructure at the Army’s biggest firing range in Mahajan in Rajasthan.
The upgradation of infrastructure at the ranges would make the training there more realistic and provide a “close-to-real battlefield scenario for troops” while practising war-fighting there, they said. The ranges would also be provided with short and long-range firing ranges and also strengthens the road and other infrastructure there.

The Army has 66 field firing ranges at the moment which is having an impact on its capability to train its soldiers and practice live firing of weapon systems. Recently, Defence Minister AK Antony had said that out of the 104 firing ranges held by the Army in 2009, “38 were deleted from the list due to their not being available for use by the Army and also not being re-notified by state governments concerned in spite of relentless efforts”.

Out of the remaining 66 firing ranges of the Army, 15 are currently de-notified by various state governments, he had said

just get wax bullets and mortars that spray paint and gernade launchers that spray paint and you would be good to go the wax bullets are real bullets but instead of lead it shoots painted wax rounds

He say close-to-real battlefield, which is fear of real bullets & explosive and those paint balls cannot provide that. More than that battle field also consist of maneuvers, logistics and pratical difficulties of implementation of theoretical analysis; which is impossible in limited firing ranges.

Umm Okay your right i guess
I have a question have you ever SHot a wax bullet Popped smoke and called in cheetah copper evacuated casualties while getting mortared from the other side with paint mortar round that are 65mm and above and have you ever directed artilery fire then one that sprays paint or ever shot a gernade that sprays Paint on the intended target Rescuse a downed pilot and Black box from an aircraft using Wax bullets cleared a building did ambush and raids on moving targets in urban enviorment and out in the open

I have with a chinook then again You probably did all that and yes you are right Close -to- real battlefield if differeent animal and requires manuevers,logistics adn practical difficulites of implemetation of theoretical analysis

The Field Firing ranges being spoken about are huge areas where Mech Formations including Armor and Artillery exercise in manuevers upto Corps level using Tanks, Howitzers, MBRLS and Missiles etc. Their areas are spread over some 100s of Sq KM.
No PAINT BALL and WAX GRENADE STUFF !!
