And also needed is that contradiction in terms - the mobile air defence systems. Something a step beyond 12.7 mm machine guns, MANPADs or Schilkas.
Dependency on 12.7mm AA HMG made us suffer in Jaisalmer in 1971. These guns were out of date even 50 years ago.
MANPADs....having a max range of 5 kms, again, wont be good.
Schilkas are good as far as mobility is concerned,but again, there are quad GUNS....guns are not useful nowadays.
PA is going for Pantsir, which is a true mobile AD system for mobile forces.
