Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

[Mr.Evil]

he has some gear, but he doesn't have a well thought out setup, pads could be ditched, bright colours could be covered up in a couple spots, those gloves are not offering him anything, but good of him to paint over his carabiner

Yea needs way more work but good step considering it’s from an OP

Buying new MKU helmet cost money.

Wrapping up new camo over 1947 Helmet is game changing decision by IA.

Masterstroke

Aayein!

That's a M240 B
Muricans license produced FN's MAG 60.20 as M240 Bravo and we did the same as L7A1...otherwise we use the exact same gun; obviously not as upgraded as theirs but still.

There's no sign here

Indian Army Infantry with their new gear and it is not a photo op but from operational duty according to Kalashnikov Operator
My opinion
A better helmet and Plate Carrier is needed still a good improvement.

nothing about his set up is well thought out

Washing money on elbow guard & gloves... Those are for troops who already have what's more necessary

Does Army genuinely knows what it is doing cause this is embarrassing for us to see imagine young officers and soldiers seeing how shitty their gear is compared to US ARMY.How tf did we downgrade in 2024? This exercise is a disaster what impressions are we leaving on the country we are training with? That we are jokers?iam sorry if it’s too blackpill but someone needs to be held accountable how did you purchase 1974 fiberglass helmets with the news camo cloth instead of buying a new fucking helmet?

In times of less social media we used to think that our army might not have the best equipment but they certainly are trained to hardest and professionalism. Now that was and still is certainly a cope.
Such thought process is essentially disappearing from Indian masses in present times where one can know things with a single click and after seeing such a disastrous mismanagement of decades, the hate born out of it is then directed towards the same organisation which once was their object of adoration, that is armed forces.

Unpopular opinion but our army is horribly outdated and will fold in front of a properly equipped army due to inferior training and firepower/technological disadvantage.

Not only our equipments are outdated but our training and doctrine regimes are outdated as well.

I really don't think land based infantry doesn't matter much.
Without Air Dominance(Its a Delusion) or Air Deterrence(Its plausible) all infantry talk is meaningless.
You can equip Indian Army with 2000 M1 Abrams, 2000 K-9 Thunder, 3000 Zorawars, 5000 Lynx, 5000 CV90, 10,000 HIMARS, 10,000 Barak-8 Batteries or S-400, at the end of the day they have to first survive the attack of PLAAF. They have to be moved from their bases to battlefield and even before that their fate would already been decided.
A Single Fighter Jet can target any of the land based assets from above but reverse can't be true.
What Iam saying is that until we attain Minimum Credible Air Deterrence or a Certain % Parity with PLAAF, investing in the land based assets is just throwing money into drainage.

For elbow pads i know but I think gloves are important

How can someone be completely wrong and still writing bullshit

even the other guy in second video is fed up seeing indians using MGs as revolvers.

Your opinion is not unpopular

 

[maximus777]

Armed forces are reflective of the society we live in. They can't somehow be expected to conform to a higher standard. If we are mostly rotten/corrupt to the core, why are we surprised that similar culture exists in the police and armed forces?!?!

M240 has a few key advantages over regular FN mag, IDK if we have added those or not

Proper armament first, no?

What's the regular squad & platoon structure now to be, different for mechanised, mountain & light infantry?
Sig-716, LMG coupled with carbines/Ak-103? ..how many DMRs? Any mortar or grenade launchers?

I was going through Battle Order & ir seems the most recent war-fighting armies today are keeping seperate 40-50 round Squad Automatic Weapon & 100-round LMGs.

Old Soviet

New Russian


Ukraine.

doctrinally, India is bothered about three threats, primarily pakis, now the chini and ever present jihadis.

India is not planning to fight thousands of kms away, if the threat perception was different, planning would have been different. no other country in this world has a stated policy of having to prepare for a two front war, that too with two nuclear capable nations.

- pakis have given up on a military2military conflict with India for now, hence their heavy dependence on jihadis.
- chini have not gone into a war with any one for half a century, so their performance in combat is an enigma.
- if anything two decades of war on terror has taught us, is that you don't use 100,000 $ missile to hit 10$ tents jihadis use.

so the question arises, are the current capabilities sufficient for current threat levels under the dual nuclear over hang. answer is probably yes and it would be even better if all the points under kargil review committee are closed + one full cycle of infantry modernisation is completed which hasn't happened.
