IAF Would Get More Funds than IA in Budget 2021- 22

[Areesh]

Interesting development in Indian defense budget

is that possible? I mean the army number is so great that their salary should overwhelm IAF budget? The rafale payment is spread over the years?

Misleading headline

Capital expenditure budget is not the same as overall budget ... Army still leads in that by 3x of IAF and Navy
Capex budget is essentially for acquiring new platforms , paying for recently signed contracts, upgrades etc etc .

People look at overall budget and say oh only 1.5% increase is so low etc but the main thing to look out for in regards to development and improvement is capex budget which increased by 19%
