Indian Military Picture Thread

That final video should NOT be in the public domain.

I know, no solid information was given out but even such minute details are classified for very good reasons.

I was thinking this was a bit close to the bone but at the same time- what is actually being shown that could detrimentally affect India's national security?

Have you seen our hepter pilots go NOE...I was surprised that we were into nap of the earth flying..

From 4 mins onward...for the Dhruv NOE insertion.

Why are you surprised? The IA are experts at NOE and always have been.

@Dillinger check this out (if you haven't already):

Pretty insightful look at the IA AAC's Combat Army Aviation Training School (CATS), plenty of NOE flying- as they say it's there "bread and butter"!! NOE taught to every IA AAC pilot from a very early stage.

We've been heliborne for a long time..unfortunately we lack numbers...can you imagine what 2-3 whole airborne divisions could do? Btw the Paras (non SF) number what exactly, 10k?

Not surprising at all. The Dhruv has GPWS; which makes NOE flying less taxing.

PARAs (Airborne) not including SF is only ~3,500-4000 mate. Although the IA has significant numbers of airborne capable troops including Infantry, Engineers, Mech forces, Arty, Signals, Medics etc. Additionally most of the members of the IA's combat arms are trained in slithering/fast-roping (unlike in most modern armies where this is reserved for a few specialist units) and are fully trained in heli-borne ops.


And yes I agree the IA needs to seriously increase the AAC's fleet size and they are doing this but it will take time.

There is nothing unusual in it. No information that cannot be gleaned by attending an 'Air-Show'.
