Army to spend billions on outdated T-72 tanks! -  National News cost of t 72 upgrade - 14 crore each, cost of arjun mk 1- 16.8 crore....... if we had ordered large number of arjuns cost would also have gone down to nearly the same, so yes we did have option. look up the specs of upgraded t 72...

Indian army really likes its t 72, despite having the option to replace it they chose to upgrade them...... the upgraded ones are as effective as al khalid.... and any army needs to have a high low combo..... with 1600 t90s and 248 arjun mk1 (+around 500 mk2 hopefully - we'll find out next year)...

what do they mean by additional orders??? Was the navy planning to order more than the current 45??

I am thinking about the indian soldier, thats why i advocated better training...... no india??? buddy those guys are only a couple of thousand men, who have very good knowledge of the jungle and use it to their advantage, if thats what took a nation like india to fall, then there would not have...

are you talking of the mayavi which we are making alongside the israelis??? these are supposed to be lethal indeed as shown by the fact that the israelis will be putting these on their f 35s instead of the american ew system

This situation has taught us how unequipped, unprepared and under trained our paramilitary is..... and instead of calls to further equip them and train them we have people calling on the army?? the army is already stretched..... to face china we are having to create more divisions, the army...

true legally we cant take any action, but if we are convinced of his guilt then the israeli way is definitely an option- actually i'm pretty sure israel would help us do it........ unfortunately our politicians lack the b*lls to do it

yes we claim aksai chin, but trust me we are not stupid enough to start a war against a stronger nation to get it......

Why on earth would you want to have an airbase within range of chinese artillery fire..... it wouldnt last a day if war is declared..... and along with it we'll lose a squadron or 2 of sukhois without them even flying

Couldnt agree with you more...... Rather stupid to let all this information out where anyone can read it

No offense - but that's all just a load of cr*p...... Maybe you haven't heard but China claims the whole Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh....... You dont need to look further than that for a reason for india's massive military programs.....

bit of an overkill...... just train your crpf jawans at cijws for a few months before sending them to the maoist infected areas...... also provide them with decent close quarters weapons like tavors etc

i agree with pakistan..... Unless we can provide them (publicly) undeniable proof, we cant ask them to take action on their own citizens

what we need to do is increase training for crpf jawans...... During june itself the maoists ambushed crpf jawans killing a few and losing just one guy, however when they tried the same on a group of highly trained anti naxals special forces.... They were forced to retreat, losing quite aa few...

buddy if it were so easy to go through a blockade ( changing flags), there would be no point in putting up one. We can escort the ships with diff flags and if they go anywhere near chinese waters , we sink/stop them. Yes we know your navy is very powerful,thats why i added we need to increase...

we should definitely get into joint ventures with america..... Especially in areas like bmd and electronic warfare.....

i'm pretty sure the navy will order around 50 f 35 from the us for iac 2......but the air force is completely uninterested....... This could be a good sign as the decision to not buy the f 35 came after the acm went to russia to take a look at the pak fa - indicating that the air force considers...

navy is most important to counter china.... If our navy can grow strong enough to blockade the malacca strait, then any war can be ended swiftly in our favor, as china imports 80 percent of its oil through the malacca strait..... With no oil, they just wont be able to continue any offensive for...

we should ban imports of chinese phones, and instead promote indian made phones like micromax etc....... They provide same adavntage as chinese phones( realtively cheap) while not being a security threat....

Good News..... With Pakistan getting better submarines we need to get the most deadly anti submarine warfare weapons available..... can we use this torpedo from our ships like the kamorta class corvette (primarily for anti sub warfare) or shivalik class frigates??
