Instead of these kneepads and elbow pads how difficult is to provide pockets in pant and shirt to insert pads? Last checked its not rocket science

pretty easy , but we must cheap out on almost everything ,
Garmin and casio watches are more common in our military than basic proper kit....

Can’t complain men on buying whatever using their money. Its the duty if govt to supply men with quality kit. But the kit which they gets will be of the supplier who gives the maximum bribes.

True , but most things like watches have some concessions for army folks. least the army can do is set up tie ups with companies to sell gear at cantonment stores at a reduced price ( like with canteens) , as people have some personal preference this will let them buy their own shit at a sane price .
The problem with private procurement is not only the cost but also the availability and delivery and the exposure about their existence .

All this things should be done beside procurement of GOOD standard equipment and not white labeled piece of craps .

Thatswhy i doubt if the Indian Army gives them kit maintenance money without any checks and balances what better would actually happen?

Most of the jawans and some officers will end up buying bikes,phones or save money.

A not so long time ago i called Para SF “gawars” and some people got very offended..it was for their mindset i called them.

I stalk their reels which get suggested and i see a total wannabe body language with similar tags and songs.

I wont be any surprised if most Para SF jawans wont know the difference between a Sniper and a designated Marksman.

The problem is the education!

Marcos have the same DNA and the same langar khana..Its the education that makes them special and not gawars.

Had my mature self not stopped i could post reels from 10 accounts to better prove my point.

Buying kit on own is not sustainable

Keyword Logistics and Backup.

A jawan might buy a 5-10k Inr trousers but how many can he keep as backup with that salary..Besides can the Govt provide him any?

A officer can buy a comtac but what will happen in a war when it gets broken?

You need logistics to win war…you cant win wars on Jordans and Levis..You need a assembly line of Batas!!

I was not mentioning army men buying expensive pants or rucksacks out of their money like that Colonel sor from 7 Para had done.I was saying about their choice for Iphone and bikes.
Anyway in India the situation is not going to change in this decade
