Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

[Ayan Barat]

30.66% of budget goes to pay and 22.70% to pensions. Not commenting on whether it's good or bad, but can't we forgo just 1% to bring in ex-SpecOps guys from US or heck even private mercenaries for surrogate training!?

Joint exercises are cool but only a small percentage of the whole exercise translate to any actual learning as compared to proper training. Just look how a bunch of NATO trainers completely changed the way Ukrainian army used to be in under an year.

China has been successfully poaching high level NATO fighter pilots for training for years now.

And despite being out biggest threat, can't we do this much?

No bp plates look at the way they hold Sigs like it's .22 rifle ( remember me of NCC weapon firing ) how will they manage huge recoil of 7.62x51

I've a serious question.
Who is this Alpha Defense guy?
I'm noticing him from DFI days. It always seems like he lurks here on DFI, goes through all the discussion we've and then puts a video or tweet to defend each and every mediocrity.

Patka this, Patka that....this is a Patka

Even if we leave aside all the terminal ballistics of a human cranium taking 1.5kJ of energy on a material that neither deforms nor disintegrates the problem is, only the green part has any protection (a steel belt with Kevlar and foam) and the top red part is just a layer of thin aramide.

And what's the most common position a soldier would be in? Prone

Now tell me which part of his body would be most exposed to incoming fire from 12 o'clock and what protection he'd have against that wearing a Patka.

You don't have to go that far. Even peeking over a cover is a nono with the patka. In Alpha's case he's often ill-informed about an item, and then proceeds to fight tooth and nail to defend his flawed take. The Arjun mbt spat on youtube with another equally ill-informed and biased exfart "redeffect", put Alpha on the map. His videos are largely unwatchable drivel modeled after ssb/upsccrack prep shorts. He suffers from the same ailment faced by most desi tubers, talking too fast. I don't know why Indians are always in a hurry to get their words out.

Patka helmet is like half face helmet. It will give some sense of security till you hit the ground got your jaw damaged.

Unfortunately some of the IA troops still in construction helmet phase

Look at weight distribution pc need to be well fitted and adjusted imagine running in it should be stable

Ok why the fuck did we decide to go for these goofy looking helmet setup .
They could have easily brought some COMTACS to did the same work (they would work even better) , this looks more like a tankers helmet that what an infantry helmet must look like .

Any big reasons to paint ourselves with 3 strips on cheeks. It looks like wish.com Rambo.

Back in 2017 PASGT style MKU Ballistic Helmets were a huge deal for the IA. It was first of it's kind deal in which 50,000 out of total 1.58 Lakh came with integrated communication. But in most cases they don't use those INT COMs, instead standard Motorola Earpiece & Walkie Talkie. Forget about the COMTACs, even our SFs don't have those as standard accessory.
