Aditya ji, NATO ISR assets I can agree with but we haven't seen evidence of Patriot type systems on ground in Ukraine. At best Ukraine has received a handful of NASAMS batteries, that too quite recently.

Each of these jetpacks is close to three quarters of a million dollars. Just imagine the number of rifles with sights, NVDs this much money can buy. For reference each US Army soldier is equipped with around $20K worth of equipment. Enough to equip a quarter of PARA SF to bleeding edge.

Longer range than the ATAGS? Are you talking about special longer ranged ammo like ramjet powered rounds or something?

58 cal ATAGS. Baba Kalyani has been talking about it.

No standardisation of vests, camouflage, helmets, lack of nvd, small arms sight, radios, quality small arms and army trying to splurge on nonsensical purchase like these. The amount can be used to equip entire para sf to current standards.

Okay I will gander a guess. Initial years of production would be all screwdriver giri, and latter years would be supplanted by local subcomponent production.
