- In this episode of The Perspective, I will take you through the various branches of the Indian Army. - This will help you to understand better how the Indian Army is organized and how it functions. - Each branch of the Indian Army has an area of expertise and soldiers are trained in specific...

Your knowledge of Indian Army ORBAT is commendable. Let me share some inputs: 1)14 RAPID is not RAPID anymore. Its an infantry division now. And only the armored brigade of erstwhile 14 RAPID has moved to Kapurthala. 2) 1 Strike Corps - 4 RAPID, 6 Mountain Division. 33 Armoured Division, while...

Thank you for the welcome. And yes, guilty as charged. I'm the same Rohit Vats!

I've done a basic overview of the Pakistan Army, its Corps and Divisions. Posting it here for reference and feedback. If there is a more appropriate thread for this, please let me know.

Details of S-400 System and its AD cover. - Details of key components like surveillance and fire-control radars, TELs, support vehicles etc. which constitute S-400 Air Defense Missile System. - Configuration of a typical S-400 missile regiment. - Likely configuration of S-400 squadron in IAF...

8. Let me repeat again, we don't have dedicated ATGM units. Each infantry unit in plains uses a mix of Milan-2/2T and Konkur-M and packs a pretty powerful ATGM punch. - 17 Bn, BOG is a R&S (Tracked) Unit. - 19 Bn, BOG is a R&S (Wheeled) Unit. - 19 Bn, MIR is also R&S (Tracked) - 23 Bn, MIR is...

Let me try this again - 1. We've 25+ Infantry Regiments. Of these, only two i.e. The Brigade of the Guards, and The Mechanized Infantry Regiment, are mechanized, and equipped with BMP-2s. 2. This is unlike your army where battalions across different infantry regiments are mechanized. 3...

(1) Mechanized Infantry in the Indian Army comes from two regiments - The Mechanized Infantry Regiment (MIR), and the Brigade of the Guards Regiment. These are all equipped with BMP-2 IFVs. (2) R&S Battalions, or Recce & Support Battalions are specialized battalions for the role as their name...

Unlike the Pakistan Army, the Indian Army does not have dedicated HAT or LAT battalions. Earlier, there used to be some dedicated ATGM battalions, but all of them are now mechanized infantry. ATGMs are held by the infantry battalions. With Milan-2T (tandem warhead), and Konkur-M being the...

To the guys discussing Indian RAPIDs (Re-organized Army Plains Infantry Division), we've 7 x RAPIDs (confirmed) and possibly one more. Also, when doing armor comparison, remember that an Independent Armored Brigade Group (IABG) in case of Indian Army is bigger than its Pakistan counter-part. -...

I assume regular infantry units, like in Indian Army, are also equipped with anti-tank missiles. Which I think will be Baktar-Shikan. Considering the weight of the whole complex, do they also use 4x4 vehicles? And how many launchers per battalion? Thanks.

Not yet. That's work-in-progress. Is there anything specific you want to know? Thanks. Helps me to put things in perspective.
