Its great that the Govt gave the Army Vice Chief the powers to make urgent purchases , which are being supplied now. But it looks as if there is a lack of adherence to goals and lack of alertness as well. Why did it take the Uri attacks to realise we had a shortage ? This should have been known to all senior planners in the Army well ahead.
Sixty years of lackadaisical attitude, corruption, enemy-blackmail and downright politics at the cost of defense have created structural issues that cannot be rectified in five years. But gradually each sector is being improved.
Jai Hind
