After India Loses Dogfight to Pakistan, Questions Arise About Its ‘Vintage’ Military

LOL at vintage military.

U.S is wasting time trying to prop up the Indian hype train. Imagine it kicked off at Dokhlam, there would have been a massacre.

Several things to note here.

1) How the recent skirmish between Pakistan and India have been perceived in the US and international media and that is in this recent skirmish India clearly lost.

2) Indian military is poorly-equipped; this we've known for a long time.

3) Size of the Indian army: India has roughly 1.3 million active military personnel, it really serves as a large employer for a country of 1+ bill people. So people are given jobs simply to deal with the mass unemployment.

4) Indian military budget: Majority of India's $45bn military expense goes towards salary, housing, and feeding its military, only a fraction is left to actually improve the military.


I hope this recent skirmish serves as a reality check to gung-ho Indian internet warriors. Your military has deep problems.

These kinds of events always have a sobering effect on Indians as they are brought back down to earth.

Indians were led to believe that they have the 3rd Largest Military in the world which looks impressive on India Day Parades but perform poorly on the battlefield. The Massive budget that Indian Military has mostly goes to salaries of the soldiers rather than modernization or equipment maintenance.

Even a small Gurkha regiment of the tiny Himalayan nation of Nepal can easily sweep the floor of the Indian ground forces. 1 Nepali Gurkha soilder equals roughly 100 malnourished Indian 'elite' troop. So this incident isn't surprising to the rest of the world. Indian is big, but it is weak compared to most its smaller neighbors.

INDIA SECRET DEADLY FORCE.
Pakistan BEWARE.

This "SMALL" victory is significant.
Pakistan has now deflated Indian Vedic Air Superiority bubble, just as how China warship building spree deflated Indian Vedic Navy superiority complex, .
This will help cause India and Gujarat Butcher Modi to think twice when contemplating any future MISADVENTURE.

Do not underestimate the morale boost this gives Pakistanis of all walks on the quality of the Pakistan Armed Forces during a time when Pakistan had increased tensions with its neighbors.
This made Pakistanis PROUD and gives strength and increased faith to those fighting for freedom in Kashmir.

South Tibet will be the 2nd Kashmir for India soon.

They're coming out of the woodwork slowly, give them a few weeks they will be back with their superpower mantra, they can't stay away from anything related to Pakistan.
