Ammunition defective, rifles below par, armour badly maintained, and the system riddled with archaic Second World War practices, training and equipment. No co ordination with the IAF – jointness non existent.
The system of training and promotion on merit has failed and mediocre officers head this bloated militia.
The above are just a small sample of a myriad of problems, resolution can start by;
Making new CDS equal or above cabinet rank., to head a joint HQ who will plan the future strategic vision for our armed forces.
New HQ will Plan an integrated force with joint theatre commands.
Will implement Cutting the army to 300,000 persons; and spent 2/3. Of Defence budget on modernisation.
Army to be relieved of its anti insurgency and border security duties, CAPFs to take over this role, army to hand over archaic heavy weapons, rifles and some artillery to them as the new militia.
Pensions a past liability, should be in a separate budget.
Recruit officers from IITs and improve quality of education of future officers, to manage modernised weapons and tactics.
Resolve the Kashmir issue, make peace with our neighbours Pakistan and China.
Improve the countries health and education system and ensure a robust economy to support the military.
Modernisation of a smaller force of less than 300,000 will be more expensive than imagined and cannot be done with the present state of the Indian economy, we must ensure there is no war in the next ten years, because India will lose without a modern army..
All this is of no use. We have obsolete and insufficient inventory. Socialist Modi is unwilling to invest in defence upgrade. China and Pak are miles ahead.
