Pakistan starts induction of even more heavy artillery, 236 howitzers + 300mm MBRL.
Meanwhile Indian generals and babus are making Indian defence labs and manufacturers run circles for decades for kickbacks and ego. They'd fired or shot in any non-banana republic.
ATAGS:
~We want it to have good range, but don't make it heavy.
~Why did you use Titanium to make it light?
~It fires 40+ km, but why did is chamber so big?
~It should be reliable & modern, but advanced electric drives should be replaced with obsolete & unreliable hydraulics
Dhanush:
~We paid for design, but let it remain hidden for decades while we run around claiming shortage.
~Failure at trials was due to faulty shell, but gun trials need to start again.
~Our testers had diarrhea eating desi idli. Need to retest same parameters in same locations
M-777:
It's hugely expensive, limited range, mostly manual with huge crew. Also needs heavy choppers for transport in mountains. So buy 145 of them + Chinooks and deploy them for extra long logistics.
~It uses Titanium, but why use same metal in ATAGS? Stupid waste.
Athos:
~We hate OFB, but are OK with it manufacturing phoren maal. But it shouldn't manufacture Indian designs under in same factories with same manpower.
~Doesn't matter if ATAGS & Dhanush offer better specs and complete ownership of IP. My 4th house is more important.
Vajra:
~It's a phoren design, but why get it made in India? Alright, we'll buy 100 just to show support.
~Production line closed! Good. We need 200 more since 100 were enough to cover all borders.
What do you mean we're morons and traitors or perhaps both?
TL;DR: #MudiShudRejine
No orders for local ATAGS, Pinaka, Arjun, Dhanush, Tejas, LCH, 3rd aircraft carrier, Nag, local sights, inf armour and more.

Yet these "sources" blame limits on foreign purchases for armed force's inability to spend allocated funds. Rotten people.

1/n. I often see people claiming Russians as true friends of India, French being great ally, Americans a moody girlfriend and so on. But there are a lot of contradictions in each case. Following are some excerpts from From Temples to Turbines by VS Arunachalam.
2/n
Soviets would deny the basic spares of their equipment with one motive being controlling their use by India. USSR/Russia was/is not that different from USA.
This reminds me of the huge number of crashes in past and how India was forced to make a lot of components due to this
3/n
To show their opposition against India developing a local fighter LCA, their Defence Minister personally chided Indian scientists and defence officials.
Considering how KGB had infiltrated Indian regime, pressure on Indian defence organisations can only be imagined.

Akshay Kumar is a foreigner but Sonia Gandhi is an Indian.

Pragya Thakur is a terrorist, but Sanjay Dutt is a model citizen and star campaigner.

What wonderful world we live in !
Pragya Thakur was arrested on fake charges which were proven wrong in court. She was brutally tortured for years by Hinduphobic administration just to get her to confess and peddle her agenda, all this while she suffered from cancer. But refused to betray her dharma & nation.
On other hand, Sanjay Dutt, a man born with all privilege helped kill hundreds of his countrymen, assisted terrorist mafia and got help from them. He did it all because he had a muslim mother. But he is campaigning openly for a "secular" party.
