The light weapon of IA even can't catch up terrorists and guerrillas, should improve that

 

[Hellraiser007]

The armored vehicles owned by the army include the BMP-1 which is now being phased out and the BMP-2 and its upgraded version the BMP-2M.

They also posses numerous multiple rocket launchers like the Pinaka MBRL the BM-21 and the Smerch 9K58 MBRL.

The anti-ballistic missile system includes indigenously developed Prithvi Air Defense which is an exo-atmospheric interceptor system and the endo-atmospheric advanced air defense system.

Additionally the Indian army also has several indigenously developed surface to surface missiles like the BrahMos, Prithvi1 and the Agni.

India has also made considerable progress in the development of nuclear weapons but it maintains a no first use and non-use against non-nuclear nations policy.
@xuxu1457 IA do use Tavor 21 and other latest weapons to hunt terrorists.
