Indian Army To Procure One Million Anti-Personnel Mines From Private Sector To Secure LoC Against In

[Zapper]

In what is likely the Indian Army’s largest such order till date, private players have been invited to participate in the bidding process for a contract of around 1 million anti-personnel mines, reports The Economic Times. Interestingly, it is only private companies who are being asked to bid.

Such mines are used regularly along the Line-of-Control (LoC) to tackle infiltration attempts by terrorists and by their Pakistan Army backers. The LoC remains the world’s most mined area after the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) dividing North and South Korea.

Currently, there is no Indian private firm which produces or supplies anti-personnel mines; some do however provide parts for anti-personnel mines manufactured by the Ordnance Factory Board (OFB), so responses to the invitation are expected from such private players.


The company which clinches the contract will be required to supply one million mines over a five year timeline. The mines which the Indian Army wants to procure are of the Non Metallic Mine (NMM) 14 type, which is especially difficult to detect as it is primarily made of plastic

A contract for Ambani or adani or Reliance group..

Not necessarily everything goes to Ambani or Adani or any of the biggies. Infact, recent IA tenders were issued to the following private Indian defence firms

Helmets and BPJs - MKU Industries
Imaging systems - Tonbo
Sniper Rifles - SSS Defence

For some of the bigger weapons platforms like artillery, IFVs, AAVs etc...they're being given to Tata, Mahindra, Kalyani etc

Mines on LOC? Will end up blowing their own, and it's the perfect way to **** up your own invasion plans.

 

[Areesh]

More Indian soldiers to die because of their own mines

 

[Safriz]

These mines are not useful in the intended purpose.
Run a herd of donkeys across the mined area and you have a clear path. Simple

A million hungry Indian dogs, and a million mines.. good now that's one less meal Indian dogs will whine about...
