have eaten MRE... quite tolerable...nothing to beat a hot meal
Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
IIRC during Kargil days there was pic of jawan eating field ration. Two chapati,bit of sabji and an uncut big onion. That was quite depressing. There was also news about new type of field ration for solders based on Ancient Indian formulae being developed by DRDO.

Shakarpara and gud chana while away from base during Kargil war.
Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
In an analysis of a battle in Vietnam where the US was defeated, one of the reasons for the dismal performance of US GIs was that they were built bigger and needed much bigger rations while the small built Viet Cong could survive for days on what appeared like "nothing".rsingh wrote:IIRC during Kargil days there was pic of jawan eating field ration.

Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
Interesting to see that they have not replace all the 4 Styx with Brahmos.. Why this mixed load of 2 Styx and 4 Brahmos when Styx has lesser range, lesser speed and overall kill power. the only reason I can think of is to have land attack Brahmos and ASHM Styx as a mixed load out, or could it be due to weight limitations? Gurus please weigh in...Aditya G wrote: R class destroyer with inclined Brahmos launchers. I did not know 2 replaced one styx launcher
Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
That's INS Mysore, not Delhi (though a Delhi class destroyer).

+1 picklu ji, almost posted but then ran from it. And yet, can't look beyond the helmet.
Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
^^^ Not just the "Helmet" per se. We also seem to have a problem getting out troops the correct size it seems.
Maybe bulk buying of a single size got a discount?

Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
Could be because of 2 reasons, cost and size of Brahmos. Brahmos being a longer missile by 2.5 meters probably cant fit in those 2 launchers and not every target may deserve an expensive Brahmos.Shrinivasan wrote:Interesting to see that they have not replace all the 4 Styx with Brahmos..

Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
Styx missile per-se might be of lesser length than the Brahmos but it launcher is bigger (to accomodate a missile with folable wings etc. Also it has a humungous warhead and hence its weight is just shy of 2.5 T as compared to the 3 T of Brahmos. overall not a very compact missile (which is ok considering its vintage). Also as you might have noticed they have installed TWO Brahmos in place of each Styx launcher which has been removed. Can our multi-purpose replenishment tankers reload these Brahmos and Styx launchers or does the ship need to come to a port?Aditya_V wrote:Could be because of 2 reasons, cost and size of Brahmos.

Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
Folks. Use Google. Average male US head circumference is 57 cm. For Indian males it is 55 cm Head shape (length vs breadth also matters)
See this paper about aircrew helmets for IAF
http://medind.nic.in/iab/t09/i2/iabt09i2p44.pdf
57 cm head circumference comes to Large/Extra large for Indians

Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
Well cant they be procured in a smaller size then? Such large orders must be manufactured to the order right? Whether being bought In India or else where?
However when our powers that be can do this to our Special Forces i dont have much hope that their is an Iota of Intelligence being put into such things..IMO somebody just watches a hollywood movie and says me wants
Bluish Grey Cammo in the desert? How do the operators even agree to put such rubbish on i dont understand.

Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
no ATGM
its a snorkel
no the tank does not belong to engineers
Pic 2
Added Later: Pic 2 shows an Engineer Recce Vehicle and what looks like a vanilla BMP-2 variant. Both the T-72's seem to have the same contraption. Could the tanks belong to an Armoured Engineer or Assault Engineer Regiment?

Is it me or are we using rear echelon troops for the US / Russo training ex? Just going by the Kit visavis what we have seen in previous exercises.
Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
The photos do not match the standards that you have in your mind. For you bad pictures means incompetent people. You are asking, "If they don't look the part how can they play the part?" Maybe you watch Hollywood, take your cues from there and believe that Hollywood type realism is what you want to see in these pictures so you can feel reassured? These guys may be saying 'Me wants" after watching Hollywood - but they are obviously unable to match Hollywood standards. If they looked as realistic and slick as in Hollywood or propaganda pictures we would feel that we are not in the hands of incompetent bums and sleep easy, right? Maybe they are not watching enough Hollywood. If they did, their act would be slick.rkhanna wrote:Well cant they be procured in a smaller size then?

me thinks they are also incompetent

Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
And we should practice goddamn democracy in the special forces, so that they can "refuse" to put on such rubbish. May be SF guys should get a grant so that they can go buy all cool looking camo on internet and show off in these exercises

I thought this was because it was used for the firing trials of the Brahmos.Interesting to see that they have not replace all the 4 Styx with Brahmos..

It's probably not cost effective to replace Styx with Brahmos on all of the Rs.

Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
They missed the Navy chief who is right next to Tendulkar, they even missed the Air Chief and the Marshal of the Airforce... but lo and behold... extensive coverage of Tendulkar... I definitively appreciate him taking part in the event eventhough he is only an honorary Gp Cpt but this adulation to the exclusion of others is a tad too much.VinodTK wrote:In pics: Indian Air Force’s glory day
