And some of the defence upgrades I am aware of! Off the top of my head here are they:
1. Building of blast pens all along the LOC and some along the LAC, work in progress expected to end by 2023!
2. Completion of raising of MSC will take two years more.
3. Induction of Rafales expected to be completed by 2022.
4. Induction of S400 also has the same time frame.
5. Integration of some jets with longer-range missiles are in progress( I-Derby, I guess)
6. Completion of infra along LAC. by a year or two.
7. Agni V is being inducted.
Thank you!
All of these will have a HUGE implication for both a two-front war or a one on one war with China/Pak!
Thanks!
None of them is complete/inducted. Take more time, use Google and list (make a comparative list to understand massive efforts). Just list major assets for 3 years, 2008, 2014 and 2019. You will get the answer. There are numerous threads here that details the lethargic and at par performance if not worst than Congress when it comes to decision making so please spare the patriotism of this administration.
If after all that talk and trust from public all you do is lip service, keep defence purchase pending undermining security of nation your talk of Akhand Bharat is as useless as Gareebi Hatao.
HM gave statement in house, good he must, you should not hesitate claiming what's yours and then after 4yrs of haggling you order 36 Rafales while losing more planes what kind of service you doing to nation? By the time those Rafales are inducted they won't serve even for stop gap arrangement.
Talk all you want, milk it politically as much you want couldn't care more as long as you are acting decisively and not focusing entirely on bullshiting public completely.
Wow! Just can't believe my eyes, are you suggesting we allow China to intrude and annex territories?
No, if you are not so eager to brand anything you don't think or want to read as blasphemous you'll get the point.
Both China and Pakistan have our territories and we have never intended to get them back, not even during war time because we are weaker economically, we want to focus on more important things like raising living stranded of public (including army) than to go unprepared into a bloodbath that we may or may not win. That's the reason why we have avoided escalation with Pakistan not what people feed you on SM.
PM Modi brought in a bold change of giving it back to Pakistan overtly but that too have diminishing returns and after last year's raid when he thought he will steam roll Pakistan he was stopped in his tracks, maybe he wanted to avoid the bloodbath. Anyway so we are still following that strategy of hiding your strength, biding your time. If we can do it with much worst neighbour, that kills our soldiers, civilians every other day even when being a smaller one why suddenly we want to needle another neighbour, that may prove to be a capable enemy (though I believe they will lose badly, still).
PM Modi has 3 agendaless summits with Xi. This is keeping whole nation in dark and anyone else but Modi would be branded traitor overnight. What was discussed, what was promised is unknown to country, he is not a king to do this but we all trust he has only good interests of India at heart so nobody objected. This is unprecedented and it is aimed at solving issues quietly without leaking it to public and putting all the work at risk. A very clever though opaque strategy.
This all indicate we were dealing with China the way it should be dealt. But why now out of nowhere start needling them? Maybe some genius like few here gave the idea of negotiating from position of strength by embarrassing China on world stage and show what we are capable of. Well they have called the bluff, you are negotiating from position of weakness now while risking a conflict when your country is engaged domestically at much bigger issues.
It's amazing how nobody, nobody at all here or other places calls for accountability of actions. If there are riots nobody is held accountable, everything is blamed on left, if Pakistan strategy is not working well you are anti national, if China issue crops up from Nehru to everyone questioning the goof ups is overnight branded traitor.
This much boot licking of any leader or idea makes people dumber while the one who took country for ride escapes the responsibility.
