There is a life cycle procedure for personnel equipment for PBOR. They are issued two sets and I think the life is for three years (I forget the time limit). The camouflage uniform fades in no time and so one cannot go around looking shabby. One cannot buy OFB uniform. Therefore, the other option i...

The official issue is the OFB product. There is a life cycle procedure for personnel equipment for PBOR. They are issued two sets and I think the life is for three years (I forget the time limit).

OFB manufactured uniform fades out in three months! When I visited the unit recently, I found that the boys were buying uniform cloth of private textile companies from the Unit Canteen Contractor (baniyah as he is known). I myself bought a Jap cap from the baniyah and it is still a new as a whistle....

Even civilians are wearing camouflage uniform and driving Marutis with OG colour. Now, who is from the Army, who is a civilian, who is paramilitary and who are terrorists, one does not know. All are wearing the same camouflage uniform! A real, what is known as, a Buggers' Muddle!! Civilians should n...

42 RR and other RR units in J&K need to S.W.A.T movie ASAP. Important before their next deployment!! I haven't got what you intended to convey. If it means smashing one's way through irrespective of the collateral damage or lives lost of those who are not the terrorists, I think while that is f...

On one of the TV channels, one Indian origin US spokesman said that Headley cannot be handed over to the Indians since there was against the US Constitution. However, what ever the Indians wanted to know could be routed through the US law enforcing agencies and they will ask Headley and pass it on t...

Kanson, Thanks for the correction of HM. This is what is said: The DRDO is crying foul. Major General HM Singh, who spearheaded the Arjun's development for the last 28 years until he retired a fortnight ago, points out that inserting tactics into the trials would give the army a way of putting down ...

RayC

^^ This is OT RayC... On what basis he was promoted to the rank Maj. Gen. when he is actually seconded to DRDO ? I think the statement was made by HM Singh. On the basis of seniority and Annual Confidential Report. I am not sure whether it is RP or HM. It does not matter which Singh it is. What mat...

I found an interesting one on NDTV. Some RJD MLA was garlanded with a cash garland and flowers. The flowers remained and there was a melee amongst his followers and the cash vanished, but the flowers remained. What as interesting is that while the other channels mentioned that this was a RJD MLA, ND...

Please...here no one is talking abt the paanwalla stuff and no one wants to villify the Army willingly with bias and the discussion is more towards testing and procurement of T-90S and Arjun. If anyone done more damage to Army it is the Army to itself. I'm merely pointing out what was already discu...

Don't worry there is enough cuckoos around. Until one learns of the issue officially, cuckoos shall fly. Sorry for going OT, didnt get this part :-? Does it allude to the fact that "cuckoos flying" refer to rumour-mongering or CT's? Not rumourmongering. Merely, I know the 'inside' stuff a...

The RM is a fine man.

But the defence forces are woefully short in all departments.

For one man's reputation, the country stands, as Maneckshaw wrote on file before the 1971 War, 'nude'.

However, the RM is a noble man.

RayC

As I said before, I am not too sure of the merits of the case of Avdesh, but because the Army Rule was not applied, it is what is called 'bad in law' and hence he has a leg to stand on!

Kersi, One has to understand Network Centric Operations and the vertical and horizontal spectrum that it is intended to encompass.

Raja, You all are tech savvy. I cannot claim that distinction and so cannot quite comment, more so since I have not experienced any such gadget, except a demo on the GPS. Indeed, if there was a single gadget doing everything that one would require in a battle, that would be ideal. The issue that I t...

This is a comment on a different forum of a US serviceman and I thought one could share it with all. Women in combat arms pose more issues than the simple "if they can do it let em", which sounds great...at first. For this to work in a way that offers a positive net gain for an armed force...

Wrong aircraft & wrong country.

Why so?

In an emergency, would like a cohesive organisation or a truncated one to regroup and waste time?

RayC

I can't say about the soldier since it would require greater IT education and yet let me tell you, though one may think they are duds, they are not. They have already mastered many things that when I visited the unit I thought was tough for me! I am sure with training, they will rise to the occasion...

when the thread starts resembling the 'blind men of hindoostan' ( and the elephant) then its time for a thread to be closed.

ASPuar sahab, much as I respect your views, kindly do not give moderation advices on the threads. reporting is the way to go and it should be restricted to that. and no, a thread should not be closed down just because we don't agree with the views expressed therein, that's called thought policing. ...

Puar, While I agree with you, yet this is free forum and all this shenanigans maybe OK for the effect to show nationalism and patriotism.

Just one example - have we built up war wastage reserves for 6 months, till date? If we havent, then it shows that we in any case do not intend to fight a war to the finish with Pakistan. At a different level, interestingly, developing a war wastage reserve of 6 months, will provide a very interest...

I would like to disagree that the IA can disregard a good eqpt manufactured in India. The explanation is simple.

Any official confirmation of Shiv Aroor's contention?

I am told had the following requirement:

1. Short take off and landing.
2. Capable of landing on semi paved/ unpaved/ PSP runways.
3. Capable of landing/ air dropping minimum of one company of combat ready troops and equipment.
4. Capable of heavy lift cargo.

I am am sorry chaps if I have failed you with a mathematical answer.

I really don't know why we can't fire a weapon with equal consistency!

^^ I am afraid that I am not able to grasp the point you are trying to convey. Are you saying that most people would not be able to shoot accurately at ranges greater than 300 mts regardless of the quality of training they are imparted with? Training helps. However, some are good shooters by instin...

RayC

RayC sir, I remember some study done by the US Army that showed that average army soldiers could hit a man-sized target at 300 meters distance only 10% of the time. I'll try and dig up the actual reference later. So changing rifles is not going to help much unless they change their training methods...
