New Delhi: At a time when a budget cut is in sight for the armed forces, the three services have been told to put on hold their acquisition processes to buy new weapon systems till the COVID-19 situation continues in the country.

A letter has been written by the Department of Military Affairs asking the three services to put on hold their capital acquisition processes till the time the COVID-19 situation continues in the country, Defence Ministry sources said.

The forces have been told to put on hold all of their acquisition processes which are at different stages, they said.

The armed forces are in different stages of acquiring multiple platforms for modernising their arsenal.

The Indian Air Force is in the process of making payments for the 36 Rafale combat aircraft from France and S-400 air defence weapon system from Russia.

The Indian Army is also procuring tanks, artillery guns and assault rifles from different countries including America and Russia while the Navy recently signed the deal for 24 multirole choppers from the US.

Huge expenditure is being done by the government to fight COVID-19 and feeding several crore people in view of the pandemic outbreak threat.

Many other measures are also expected to be taken in the coming days to tackle the situation and all ministries including defence are anticipating a significant contribution from their allocated funds to fight the disease which originated in China.

I hope this is true.

I hope both India and Pakistan realizes that holding 1.5 billion hostage for 10 million Kashmiris is utter foolishness resulting in our hard earned resources being sent to western coffers.
Moreover, No country ever became a super power by buying armaments from third parties. Whether it was Ottoman, Mughal, British or anyone else.

Even look at world war 2. All the major participants had proper industrial base and they made their own military hardware. The sooner we realize this, the better for us.

We are going full steam ahead with the induction of new tanks, ships, subs, missiles fighters etc.

We will ensure that India will receive a death blow this time.

Wise decision.. It is time to focus on one problem at a time and channelize all resources.

Exactly.... Covid 19 has not affected Pakistan right now....

With your annual defense budget of 200 billion USD and trillions of dollars in reserves it's perfect time for Pakistan to make full use of this opportunity....

Hahaha still won't be enough when it will matter. After the shattering of Su-30 myth, no weapons acquisition by india seems worrisome

Who told you that these weapons are for Kashmir issue?
Kashmir issue is already solved,only a liitle remain.
These are next generation system top notch in the world this for our all round security and especially Chinese threat.

It was necessary to hold it now.Because people welfare is the priority.
But we will restart immediately
