In my opinion we should start looking at options at replacing our t72s since the t72 is an Aging platform. Maybe the t90s or even t14s? Who knows. The MA series of the galil rifles are pretty old too and since there are no plans for the QBZ copy to replace the MAs as frontline rifles, shld look into other rifle options..either from Israel or Russia with the Ak2000 or 3000 series or even Ukraine with the Mamlyuk bull pup AK rifles. It’s a good thing we are now gonna produce our own BTR4Us but what about a dedicated IFV? We don’t seem to have those yet. Maybe even converting our t72s into BMPTs like they did in Russia if we do plan to retire them. Next we need to look at replacing our Chinese tank destroyers with our own ones or Russian made ones since we all know the reliability of Chinese arms. Heck even the Naung yoe Jeep does not offer the same protection as a uparmored humvee(GMC one or the Chinese clone) or even the Russian GAZ tigr.
we also need to look back on how well equipped our individual soldier is also. Up till now we do not have NIJIII vests let alone NIJIV vests for our SOTF. The camo patterns are still lacking. Soldiers still don’t wear their full gear for frontline duties and we don’t even have proper bags and are using wicker baskets!
our commander in chief says he wants to build a professional army and I get that looks always don’t matter. But if there are some minor changes, we could make our army look professional and not be a laughing stock. Hell even some of the South Korean guys are still wearing the ballistic fibre M1 helmets but they still look professinal.
As far as I know, Army is going to acquire new type of tank . . T 90 or MBT 3000. But my point is that we don't need large MBT fleet.
I do agree that Army is given less attention in modernization process.
