Ukraine War: Time For India To Rethink its Military Doctrine Modeled On Russia's?

[Wood]

New tactic for modern armies: Buy cheap delivery quadcopter drones and drop grenades from them. Drones are so small and are evidently not easy to block all the time, every time. They are also cheap and affordable in scale. India should mass manufacture this dangerous dual use technology

India is arming its fleet of Russian-origin Mi-17V5 helicopters with Israeli Spike anti-tank guided missiles, Asia News International hasreported.

A limited number of Rafael Spike NLOS (Non-Line-of-Sight) missiles have been ordered, while a larger quantity of the munition will be locally manufactured, the news outlet added, citing sources.

The deployment of tanks and infantry combat vehicles by the People’s Liberation Army along the mountainous Line of Actual Control during a faceoff with the Indian Army two years ago prompted the Indian Air Force to purchase the weapon.

The missile can target armored vehicles, mobile air defenses, and command and control posts.

Attempts are already being made for the past decades to model the formations after NATO. Upcoming IBGs derive a lot from how such composite formations are made in US. Army aviation is being strengthened in line with how Americans operate. So yes we are already moving away from many older ways.
