What's new

Govt takes money back, Army grapples for arms

-- LUH tender being re-issued

-- Assault rifles tender being issued after long delay

-- M777 Howitzers follow the FMS path , should have been cleared by CCS : artillery and Congress don't mix I guess

-- NAMICA (Nag) redesign after last-minute disagreement by Army

-- Delay in Arjun MK1 ordering and induction

IA needs to pull up its socks and be more in the news for the positives rather than the COAS's DoB ....
 
Wait...doesn't the next financial year start on march ?

This means you don't know anything about govt.'s working style in India.

1. First talk about "March" the news is published in "Feb" it doesn't mean that the budget cut happen in this month read the news its from December.

So is it OK that our country left behind 6 precious month????????

2. Now, let talk about my point about govt. working style. GoI is not MNC that you will get money at the clock touch 12 in night of 31st.

It takes 2-3 months to get the things get back to normal as the whole process is have to repeated again from the start.

That means the army will get money to spend from June-July not earlier then that. :hitwall:


3. Its not a rule that you are from Kerala and u have to defend a fool minister from Kerala.
 
You understood finance ministry's problem but you didn't understood IA's problem. Unless MOD and CCS gives green signal to a deal, nothing is gonna happen.

So stop blaming IA. Its true IA is delaying many trials but MOD and CCS already have backlogs, they should first clear them. Finance ministry is also responsible because they are also part of CCS.

I would say you are not 100% correct, yes there are delayes from MOD as far as clearances are concerned but those are only beurocratic. MOD has already given nod for light howitzers and other deals its just army has to finalize and give the proposal, just like MRCA for IAF.

The point here Army doesnt even take the professional way IAF or IN take. We dont even know when did they complete trail for M777, the last time the 155m gun trail was hit by Singapore tech gun accident. After that nothing is been heard.

They are a messed up organization, who always believe in delaying everything starting from Arjun to Bhim..

Howcome IAF and In dont have such problems, any idea?
 
So frankly we can say that when the top brass in IAF and IN we busy introducing new aircrafts, subs, missiles, frigates, etc, the top brass in the Army was busy checking their Date of Birth to get a few more weeks in the office.

Can't blame GOI here. Army has to get professional in these things.
