Indian Army Armored Vehicles

[Zoid Raptor]

It's a hafta to the US so that they don't bully us with sanctions and provide us the engines we have ordered for Tejas, Zorawar and assorted warships.

We have been very fasicst hindu nationalist islamophobic casteist etc recently by buying Rafale-M over F-18 and by not buying the F-16s for the MRFA program etc, so this bribe is the only way to appease the Thekedar of Freedom and Democracy

The Chandigarh lobby and dalal network play a significant role as well, not to mention the love our generals and MoD babus got for kickbacks and white pussy. There's no reason to suck up to the Israelis but here we are trying to kill several indigenous projects for the likes of Tavors, Arads, Negevs, Spike ATGM, Athos, UAVs and the likes

Yea there is 0 compulsion, atleast you can put the US hafta to their arm twisting and economy damaging capability, the jooz have no such clout that they will exercise just for arms sales but still these dalals run amok.

India will forever be a shitty regional power hyphenated with Piggistan unless these Dalas are brought to book.

Look at the Navy ffs these AF and Army afsars should be fucking ashamed.

I don't know, I'm bit retarded
You tell me

I was specifically talking about logistics/load carrying version of stallion. Again why would we need a c130 capable stallion when it can reach through road and rail within hours. You are posting photos of US military who operate globally due to which they HAVE(majboori) to significantly rely on logistics network supported by aviation. For both our war fighting sectors(which are on our LAND border) we can move our stallions more effectively(more volume), efficiently( less cost) than transporting through jets.

Ofc, Uncle has asked this very specific purchase to smother whAp in the cradle and the Govt acquiesced so here we are.

If you notice the Free & Democratic items in our inventory across the 3 services they are mostly useless or unnecessary like those Predators, 6 Apaches, INS Jalashwa( ex USS Trenton, )
There are a few types that are useful like those M777 Howitzers and P8I Poseidon.

This is a completely bs logic we are a country that practices strategic autonomy, if we were not then this hafta logic made sense

Why not order both? The overall requirement of a similar class vehicle is no less than a 1000 while the Stryker deal articles mentioned ~500 to be procured

While Stryker is clearly to appease Uncle Sam, there's still a ton of room for WhAP

It's the ATAGS vs ATHOS situation again. Imports are given funding priority before the domestic product is given a chance. The stryker is the most redundant import we'd be doing this decade. There's nothing it does, that the WhAP can't do. If Army can accept a Cockerill turret on the Zorawar for service, they can accept all kinds of modules on the WhAP, from unmanned turret with a 30mil, ATGMS, M-SHORAD. IF they just ASKED the lead integrators and gave the product a chance beyond doing simple mobility trials in Ladakh and Thar.
