The money we get from this can be used for BMS.<br />Jokes apart, IA will spend money judiciously. Infantry and artillery need to be modernized. There are delays We need to trust the chief of army staff when he says all spending is prioritized and balanced. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-73263568693469069522018-07-20T07:36:07.389-07:002018-07-20T07:36:07.389-07:00Rather than scrap the project it could have been s...Rather than scrap the project it could have been scaled down to provide SDR based communication for soldiers with the power of GIS.Atleast some lead time could be saved for next modernisation project....or are we saying soldiers need only weapons ???PantSignalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02011704694348732479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-28685302821943482092018-07-20T00:13:20.759-07:002018-07-20T00:13:20.759-07:00
