Night-blind army tank falls into ditch, 2 troopers dead

[janon]

Unnecessarily provocative headline. First off, the article doesn't say which tank it was. Secondly, is there anything to lead us to believe that this happened because of the tank being night blind? Motor accidents happen during daytime too, and tanks are susceptible to unfortunate accidents like any other motor vehicle. The headline carried the implication that this happened due to its night-blindness.

"Night blindness" in the case of tanks refers to an inability to fight in the dark, not an inability to see where they are going. Thermal sensors and other such upgrades are meant to enable weapons to be guided in the dark, not to see where the tank it going. When they say night blindness, they don't mean lack of headlights.

So this incident is no reason to call for a retirement of the tanks - it is an insult to the driver of the tank to suggest that he was stupid enough to drive blind.

That's what happens when IA Generals sleep with Russian b1tches and import junk, while refusing to induct home-made tanks(fully night vision capable and no need to take Russian permission to modify) for decades.

Blame totally goes to corrupt IA top brass. No doubt at all.

So this incident is no reason to call for a retirement of the tanks - it is an insult to the driver of the tank to suggest that he was stupid enough to drive blind.

Ok, sweetie, there is no need to jump now. Corrupt and pathetic Indian Army top brass is an insult to hard-working and brave common Indian army soldiers.

There is no need to blame media when it has for first time in Indian history has written a sensible article, away from stupid jingoism of silly IA officers(we are holy cows, we can't be corrupt. don't dare question us!)

The headline is appropriate and I see nothing wrong with it. Also IA top brass(VK Singh) spoke of lack of enough modernisation only to subvert indigenisation process and push another blunder of imports under the guise of "we are going to die in next 5 years if we don't IMPORT now"!! These stupid Generals who can't even handle basic hacking issues in their forces, have habit of bluffing about DRDO but has failed to even maintain their trashy over-expensive Russian b1tches.

Corrupt Indian Army top-brass and their Russian b1atch supporters has become an embarrassement for India.
