point is this is true dependence tanks ifv armoured vehicles are frontline equipments for army just like aircrafts for iaf
Until now our most of the mechanised formation have equipments with their supply chain and logistics presents in india we arent dependent on russia in case of tanks and bmp and if force comes we can manage it
Yes we have engine dependency in case of armoured vehicles but still we can manage
But in case of stryker 550units will barely have indigenization and americans can never replicate the indigenization of bmp or t series of tanks
They can easily control our offensive and policy with the help of stryker as they are frontline equipments without which its not possible to fight
