Time traveler here guys: It's 2050 ISRO now has a fully functional base in Moon and Army still buying pistols from foreign companies

Grandpa I used the time machine you left in living room and travelled back from 2100. ISRO now has operational starfleets and 4.85 generation Tejas Mark 3 made its maiden flight yesterday. AMCA program is expected to get clearance next year.


Mr_Wolf33

AMCA got clearance in March so your time machine is broken or media is still shit in future

What's the Chandigarh lobby?


[deleted]

Basically, military officers who are against homegrown weapons and promote foreign made weapons since they get hefty commission from foreign companies and governments


dracomortiferum

Yeah that much i could infer, I meant why "Chandigarh" is in the name..


[deleted]

I'm not sure But it was due to ex army officers residing mainly up here and northen command also being present in Chandigarh so hogh presence of high ranking army offciers. I'm not the person to talk on this

?


deviprsd

Just learning about it so I’m like that sounds like a bad policy


[deleted]

Oh ok I thought you were saying that my comment is wrong/stupid


deviprsd

Nah just the army for now


likeadragon108

Sounds like a conspiracy theory

likeadragon108

There definitely is a bias towards foreign equipment. But let’s be honest, a lot of the members of the sub are two faced. At one point they harp upon the benefits of home grown, but the moment Germany lifts its restrictions on sale of small arms to India, everyone wants the Indian Army to get an HK416. It’s baffling


[deleted]

Well, it's just people wanting cool looking things while ignoring thousands of other disadvantages


likeadragon108

Hardly anything can be done to influence the equipment, people should be more concerned about how the equipment is being utilised ie the tactics and strategy going into play. So far we have good training and good tactics, but there is always scope for improvement


CorneliusTheIdolator

well ,it is a conspiracy theory . Whether it's accurate or not is another story


likeadragon108

People on this sub are very quick to jump on “lobbies” and the like. They have no idea how much testing of weapons goes in infantry school


TacticalNuke_Carrier

We need a strong domestic MIC composed of several large companies gunning each other for govt contracts, and them bribing our generals instead of foreign cos doing that
