No value for the lives of our best guys.

NVG/Thermal imagers and drones with thermals or SAR maybe "expensive" but not as priceless as the lives of our brave troops.

Army replaced majority of foreign breeds with Indian Hounds especially Mudhol hounds' way back in 2016-17.

Not really. EOD dogs have very short Work Life Spans in Human terms. PTSD sets in quick and these are not peace time deployments. 2 years for them is like 14-18 years of being strung out and stressed. If not managed Dementia sets in real quick.

Stryker and the Indian Army


- First things first, it is clear that the deal for Stryker is a top-down decision and did not come from the army.
- And the deal is going to happen.
- Be that as it may, the army seems to have made peace and given its recommendations.
- Given the fact that Stryker is not amphibious, which is a must have feature to fight along our western borders, the army seems to have limited its role to Eastern Ladakh.
- Which might be a silver lining as it still keeps window opens for large induction of WhAP/Kestrel.
- So, fingers crossed!


(1) M1304 ICVVA1 Stryker


- As per my freind @Hukum, the army has sought the M1304 ICVVA1 version - this one has an unmanned turret with 30mm Bushmaster cannon and is based on double hull version which gives higher protection against IEDs.
- This is M1304 ICVVA1 -




---
(2) Javelin and Stryker
- This brings me to the second question - Where does Javelin fit into this Stryker procurement?
- Well, the US Army has a dedicated Stryker version with Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station- Javeline (CROWS-J) instead of a turret.
- This allows the Javelin to be fired from within the vehicle. But reload obviously exposes the troops.
- This is CROW-J which also has a Browing machine gun:



And as seen here, troops are exposed during reloading.

--
- In the American scheme of things (remember the Table of Organization and Equipment that I shout about?), the Stryker Brigades are being equipped 50:50 with 30mm version and Javelin version.

MEA guys playing this nonsense for long time.

Putting an autocannon on an WHAP feels like Rocket science.
