Indian Army gearing up for any kind of mischief from either side


By- Kartikeya Semwal

Indian Army is known across the world for its preparations on the border for any kind of mischief by the enemy on either side of the border. Their hard training, readiness and determination to fight and win is the reason why countries like US, UK, France, and Germany send their troops to train with the Indian Army. Whether it is number of troops or weapons, the Indian Army always seems ready to deal with any kind of threat in any season.

Ever since Galwan-clash and Pangong-Tso lake confrontations with China’s PLA troops, Indian Army has upped its deployment of man and machine across the eastern border. But ever since Taliban took over China started visiting forward posts of Pakistan & started providing heavy weapons to their army, Indian Army has been gearing up to deal with both our enemies. 


Recently, China has decided to sell 236 SH-15 long-range howitzers to Pakistan so that they can be used against India. And in order to counter these, Indian Army has given an order to produce 200 more K-9 Vajra self-propelled wheel-mounted long-range howitzers which it will license produce in India itself.

On the other hand, China has deployed its rocket force that basically carries different types of short, medium & long-range rockets and missiles. Indian Army is no less and has in counter deployed Pinaka, Pinaka NG, and Prithvi and Agni series of ballistic missiles; along with Brahmos supersonic cruise missiles across the eastern border. 

China's doom.

In order to give a befitting reply to China’s howitzers, Indian Army has deployed indigenously developed Dhanush towed howitzers and recently acquired M-777 ultra-light howitzers that can fire up to 45km inside Chinese territory.

China had thought that deploying rocket force will scare India and it will give up land but exactly the opposite happened. Now China’s PLA troops are scared of an immediate and effective backlash by the Indian Army if they dare to even fire a single rocket or missile. Not just that, India has also deployed its air-defense systems that include interceptor missiles, which are capable of destroying enemy’s ballistic missiles mid-way.

Indian Navy needs a variety & quantity upgrade in submarines

Image
By: Kartikeya Semwal Conventional submarine  Indian Navy is the world’s 7 th largest navy in the world with 294 warships. While our biggest enemy China is ranked 2 nd largest with 730 warships of different types. This is a cause of concern as we aren’t even half of our enemy. In the last 1 decade, under Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji & Raksha mantri Shri Rajnath Singh ji, our navy has added many warships to its fleet, yet a lot more needs to be done. China has a large number of different types of submarines ranging from conventional to nuclear. The advantage that they have is that they are building their own submarines & that too, at a fast pace. Contrast to that India doesn’t makes its own conventional submarines. And there is a huge gap in this category. China has 48 conventional submarines which means that it can deploy as many of them to watch or surround Indian Ocean region (IOR) while India has only 16 conventional submarines. Those too are the old Russian Kil...

Rebuilding IAF for future wars: More Rafels, Tejas Mk-2, AMCA needed

Image
  Indian Airforce has played an important role in guarding India for decades. From time to time, it has showcased its importance ranging from Indo-Pak wars to Bangladesh’s independence war to Kargil war. A few years back, IAF’s prowess could also be seen through Balakot Surgical Strike that was done in POK to destroy terrorist training camps. But with passage of time, IAF’s fighter squadrons have gone down. Against the required 42 squads, IAF has only 32 squads which is a cause of concern keeping our two unfriendly neighbours China & Pakistan in mind. IAF was supposed to acquire over 100 new fighter jets over a decade ago but lack of signing of deal & the long new fighter jet assessment process resulted in not acquiring any new jets in large numbers. Rafale  The present Modi govt. did buy 36 new Rafale jets from France but that is not enough. The MRFA tender hasn’t been signed yet, under which 114 new fighter jets are going to be acquired. Once this is done, it will ...
