The 5 lakh just for your NVG. Not to mention it's a Gen-2 i². Now you've just 4 lakh of your estimated 9 for remaining everything.
Well now you have figured out exactly what's the reason behind the pathetic state of Indian infantry equipments.
It is the exponential rise in expenditure for the Military with each upgrades that doesn't necessarily guarantees proportional increase in success rate for their operations.
For a Gov. that has allocated 195 Cr. for RR with a force strength of 75K. Some delusional people expect upwards of 400 Cr. to be allocated for Paras with a force strength of only 6K.
Someone needs $0.6 billion just for drafting a GSQR when the air-force of that same country is already flying AH-64s...
Do you even have any idea how the Government works ? Just because your under the same Gov. Doesn't mean you will get full access to all the assets of every other department under GoI.
Even if you do, there would be security protocols with supervision of the Air Force that may not allow you to carry out the full spectrum of your evaluation trials.
Integrated Theatre Command isn't a reality. And cutting corners on Army's air assets is not the answer. As the SF & AH-64 doesn't fill the same roles.
No, if you're competent enough then you don't. What top of the line exposure DRDO had when they came up with an anti-satellite missile!?
Isn't it weird that the tech DRDO is most competent in, are the ones that are denied to India ?
The fact is the economic state of this Country or the Budget of the Military barely figure into the conversation when people keep whining about the poor equipments. Coz It makes their rudali Null & Void.
Your not just fighting insurgents in Kashmir your also fighting in the North East well as the Central Indian forests. Your funds are already spread thin across multiple domains.
People don't even realise, even equipping 300-400 odd SF Operatives in line with the Navy Seals or Delta Force cost us more than double that of equipping an entire Regiment, as of now.
sure hoon Northern Command ko chod k aur kisi k pass bhi PPE kit nhi Yeh isi helmet mein ladenge
