We have a tendency to keep adding echelons without ensuring that those who exist do their job.Alok Asthanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05362507906160748320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-18091815545704731832014-05-14T06:53:47.534-07:002014-05-14T06:53:47.534-07:00Hi Ajai,

Could you please tell me why Indian Armored Corps not have a separate gun (MMG or GPMG) for commanders turret. A standard of every army is to have a 12.7 mm HMG, a coaxial MMG and a MMG/GPMG in front of the commander's turret.<br /><br />Regards<br />VatsalAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02029819300478552517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-57963147664184268542014-05-14T05:53:46.263-07:002014-05-14T05:53:46.263-07:00You mentioned last year that Govt was going to app...You mentioned last year that Govt was going to appoint Lt Gen Chait as the next Chief but Mr Suhag ended up as the one.I wonder your assessment was wrong Colonel! <br /><br />Was that article based on facts or you were doing someone's bidding? Defense Industry Daily has been poking hole in your financial theory on Pilatus PC-7 aircraft as well. I reckon you need to clarify few things to your audience.<br /><br />Nevertheless, If Indian Government becomes ever sane enough and appoints a Joint Commander on top, you would get the largest share of credit for your almost dogged pursuit for the one. <br /><br />Maintain the pressure.Good Work Indeed.Alexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-67995586084284939142014-05-13T10:00:28.255-07:002014-05-13T10:00:28.255-07:00Problem is the self-serving culture of our Longest...Problem is the self-serving culture of our Longest-ruling political party in India. The only defence preparation according to them is on a "stopgap" basis. Frankly Congress Party has succeded in dividing India more than what the British had planned. In hindsite its the single most disasterous entity to weaken India the most. I wonder what India would have been like had Gandhi-Nehru not been allowed to become president of Congress party. Since nobody seems to take decisive decisions at the top, its time for people to make changes to the constitution itself. Currently because of these coalition politics, India is taking 1 step forward and 100 steps backward.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-67453290547948908832014-05-12T23:05:20.927-07:002014-05-12T23:05:20.927-07:00we got... plan... manufacture... everything on the...we got... plan... manufacture... everything on the plan... in India... inflation... forex fluctuation... addressed... domestic manufacturing...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
