Dead(ly) Weapons.....

                               First, my sincere salute to the defense personnel striving hard day and night for my and all ours security. In this post I am going to talk about India's "Deadly weapons." Why the alphabets 'ly' are strikeout you will surely understand in this post. Now in this post I am talking about the weapons in the Indian Navy, Air-force and the Indian Army.
Bofors Gun in India.
The Bofors.
                                I'll start from the Indian Army. The Indian army is one of the most bravest army in the world and also it is the third largest contingent in the world.But the types of the instruments and the weapons that are provided to them are worth consideration point. Indian army, frankly speaking has technology of more than 40 years old. Indian Army mainly uses the Bofors Guns, that were purchase more than 25 years ago. After the incident of the Quattrochi income tax case, none of the Government since then has ordered new guns in the Indian army. So our Jawans have to rely on that old technology only. Further speaking more the Indian army has guns that were used in the war of 1971. Can you imagine its efficiency ! Well more stuff is remaining. Indian Army uses the Russian T-70 and the Russian T-72 tanks that were developed 30 years before. Indian Army still uses it and is not ready to retire it. Out of the total tanks that are used by the army, only 50 % have the capability to see in the night time, while comparing to the tanks of Pakistan they have tanks about 80% that can see in night while with the Chinese it is 100%. The guns in the Indian army are still not more developed than AK-47 when guns 100 times more efficient than these have been produced in the world. The Indian army still uses the communication technology that is 20-25 years old. So hacking maybe very much easy in the Indian Army. Further more the Indian Army does not more than a handsome amount of the border cams. Indian Army's corruption is on the verge of increase, so the funds that are sent by the Central Government are not been reaching to the main Defense line. Indian Army is not having the new fast means of transport, they still have to rely on the old trucks. They are not provided with the railway system as does the China. Now I think its enough of the Army now.
INS Virat
                                             Now in this segment I'll tell about the condition of the Indian Navy. In the Indian Navy there are less than a dozen of submarines, while on the other hand Chinese have reached upto 88.Indian Navy is doing very very slow progress in the technological and the evolution fields. The INS Virat, India's only aircraft carrier ship has got old age of nearly 50 years, but still Indian Navy wants it to serve for more years. Out of this India doesn't have any of the aircraft carrier. India's only atomic submarine will become operational in 2013, till then nothing. India's jet planes on the INS Virat have become 40 years old. They consume more fuel than what they give as the output. You may see its photos as I have added them. Also the helicopters that are used by the Indian Navy are 20 years old. Now I have this much only stuff for Navy.
Outdated plane on INS Virat.

Lets move on to the last segment in this post that is the Indian Airforce. The Indian Airforce I should truly say that those are the people that take their lives in their hands when they file those old and the outdated aircrafts. The Indian Airforce includes Russian Sukhoi aircrafts that are 30 years old. Also Indian Airforce have outdated MiG 22 and Mig 27 outdated aircrafts. Now these aircrafts have become so old that when will they collapse from the air cant say. These incidents have happened in the past but still Indian Airforce is not getting the new breeds of aircrafts. While China is very much advanced in this stage. They have just now developed the Chengdu J-20 aircraft, the Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft. Indian Airforce doesn't have that standard aircraft that can survive in the intense heat or intense cold, while Pakistan and China are well ahead in it. The guns and the bombs that are used in the aircraft are to old to kill the advanced enemy. Well thats all.
 
Outdated MiG-29
The outdated Sukhoi.
Now finally I would just like to say that China is growing so fast in the military prowess that it will someday eat whole of India if these conditions are not cleared. Indian Defense personnel's aims and dedication are truly very very high. They say give us anything or dont give still we shall defend inch and inch of our land. So its our (Governments) responsibility to provide them with advance weapons. We spend 3lakh crore rupees in defence but still its very poor. We know that new recruitments are being done but very slowly. May it get a good pace. Again a salute to the wit and bravery and valor of the defense staff. JAI HIND.
