India's Shrinking Military Capabilities
Indian military capabilities shrink rapidly while the threats multiply.
Instead of removing poverty, the politician turned poverty into business of vote-bank-politics. Result: Sixty-two years later Maoists control forty percent of the Indian Territory and the insurgents in the border states have influence in another ten percent, both with explicit support of external actors.
While the Army is battling insurgents for decades in Kashmir and in the Northeast, in all likelihood, it will be drawn into conflict with the Maoists to reclaim territories under their control. This is a direct consequence to the demonstrated incompetence of the inept and crumbling Civil Administration. Resources of the Army, Air force and the Navy are already at an all time low and are over stretched, undermining the capability of the Indian military machine to fulfill its primary role of coping with the challenges of external threat.
MoD’s legendary inefficiency extends battle-winning advantages to the enemy.
Beijing and Islamabad are delighted with New Delhi’s clumsy response.
Couple the internal threat with burgeoning external threat. Beijing boasts of capability to create three-pronged mischief on the Indian Borders. First, China has built elaborate infrastructure and potent military capability in Tibet. Second, it not only synergized anti-India activities with Pakistan but has also positioned elements of the PLA inside PoK. Third, China quietly propelled their proxy Maoists (Nepal) to the centre-stage in Katmandu. Not to mention the advantage China gained in Sri Lanka while India lost some.
Beijing now influences almost 7500 kms of land opposite Indian borders.
The Indian Navy grappling with increasing incidents of piracy, securing the EEZ, the 7500 km of coastline and Sea Lines of Communications, now faces the prospect of confronting the Chinese Navy in the Indian Ocean. The competitive interests of the two rapidly growing economies for energy and transit can transform the Indian Ocean in to an area of bitter conflict in the near future.
MoD floats tenders and cancels them with an unbelievable regularity.
Apart from its wits, the Indian Navy will require a large and modern arsenal.
New Delhi’s indecisiveness, inconsistent and callous approach to modernization of the Armed Forces, ignorance, and enormous bureaucratic red tape keeps the Army, Navy and the Air Force under-equipped and devoid of adequate material and human resources to meet the growing threats.
In addition, the ill equipped military requires power projection capabilities to safeguard India’s strategic interests. Even as New Delhi’s weakness allowed India built Zaranj Delaram Highway to slip under Taliban control in Afghanistan, the Chinese lead the great game near Kabul by successfully mining copper.
The irony is that while Indian taxpayer’s money helps rebuild war torn Afghanistan, Beijing walks away with the riches.
...the Indian Army, the Navy and the Air Force are unequal to the task the nation expects them to execute incase push comes to shove.
To cope with a two-front war, the IAF requires 60 air-worthy combat squadrons. The professional assessment to tackle the challenge of a single front war and holding action on the other front requires 45 squadrons.
New Delhi sanctioned 39.5 squadrons, but has indicated intent to raise the squadron strength to 42 by the end of the current decade.
Of the sanctioned strength of combat squadrons, for the IAF only 28.5 remain air-worthy today. Discounting the obsolescent fleet of the MiG 21 as also other ageing aircrafts, the IAF is left with around 22 combat worthy squadrons.
At Aero India 2011, apart from the Su30 MKI display by IAF, rest of it turned out to be nothing more than a vintage aircraft rally!
| Editor's Pick |
When the NDA government was in power, India negotiated for forty Mirages 2000-V. After prolonged negotiations, when the time came to ink the deal, the then Defence Minister decided that he would sign it after the general elections. NDA coalition lost and the UPA government that came to power scrapped the deal. Similarly, a deal for In-flight Refuellers was negotiated over three years. When the deal was about to be inked, the Ministry of Finance suddenly declared that the tankers preferred by the IAF were too expensive. The tender was scrapped.
Moreover, after many years of trials and negotiations, the deal for 197 helicopters was thrown out of the window in the last minute. The tender for 126 MMRCA is languishing for the past eleven years and now runs into problems and complications with the unwieldy offset procedures and Transfer of Technology.
...without pausing for the mental lethargy of New Delhi, warfare technology has rapidly moved to pilotless or remote controlled vehicles and weapon systems on sea, land and in the air.
In the bargain, the vendors have lost millions of dollars on unproductive effort. Worse, the nation lost credibility in its international dealings and the Air Force its combat power.
With its overall capability severely eroded especially during the last decade, the IAF today no longer spearheads national military power. There is hardly any strategic or tactical airlift capability worth the name. The air defence cover supported by obsolete systems, is porous and there is only a token representation of force multipliers.
The state of the IAF prompted the Chief of the Air Staff to state publicly that fifty percent of the equipment in the IAF was obsolete. Clearly, the IAF is in no shape to support power projection by the nation or to confront its two main adversaries that are rearming and modernizing rapidly.
Beijing and Islamabad are delighted with New Delhi’s clumsy response.
On the other hand, DRDO and the indigenous aerospace industry continue to devour precious resources that the nation can ill afford but have proved totally incapable of making the nation self reliant in respect of contemporary military hardware.
Global tenders for even desperately needed military equipment remain bogged down in the complex bureaucratic labyrinth of the Defence Procurement Procedure. Ineptitude and apathy of the government is usually cloaked in fiery rhetoric that routinely emanates from the top echelons of national leadership and genuine modernization programmes continue to remain a distant dream.
For the past twenty-five years Ministry of Defence has found itself incapable of finalizing the induction of 155 mm guns for the Regiment of Artillery. The Kargil war was barely managed through extensive cannibalization just to have a few guns firing.
Beijing now influences almost 7500 kms of land opposite Indian borders.
MoD floats tenders and cancels them with an unbelievable regularity.
The Indian Army’s Combat Arms are in a state of crises because of obsolete equipment that was not replaced in the last sixty years.
Tanks and ICVs are night blind without night sights. The MoD is unable to decide between import of Thermal Imager Fire Control System (TIFCS) and Thermal Imager Stand Alone System (TISAS).
Pakistan forces equipped with night vision devices will be sitting behind blind Indian mechanized forces since modern wars will be fought largely at night.
Induction of trained manpower from the military and merger of the military skills with the Civil Administration can be the game-changer effecting increased efficiency.
The bewildering variety of antiquated artillery guns-120 mm mortars, 105 mm Field gun, 130 mm Medium gun, 155 mm Gun, 122 mm Howitzer, 122 mm Multi-barreled Rocket Launcher and now Pinaka and Smerch Long Range Systems are a logistician’s nightmare.
Ground based air defence practically is non-existent and devoid of Control and Reporting (C&R) System. Further, air defence is in shambles as L-60 and L-70 guns are of WW II vintage. On the other hand, the Schilka self propelled guns, SAM and OSA-AK missiles are of early 70s vintage. Not a single gun and missile has been acquired since then.
The Infantry soldier fights with a WW II carbine while the terrorist is equipped with AK-47. DRDO has been kept in business by funneling taxpayer’s resources but INSAS rifles and LMG have not proven successful. FINSAS (future infantry soldier as a system) is yet to take off. DRDO continues to copy ideas from the brochures of the western firms, guzzling huge defence budgets, but is unable to produce a simple CQB weapon like a carbine! Communications systems remain antiquated. Fifty percent of the infantry is yet to be equipped with Individual Combat Kit (ICK).
The Navy will be left with nine operational submarines by 2012 against the stated requirement of thirty. Keeping in view the precarious position, I wonder what stopped New Delhi from ordering in a single stroke twelve submarines from the French and simultaneously opening a second submarine manufacturing line with another vendor. The laborious and complicated process of vetting tenders and negotiations provided adequate data to replenish the dwindling submarine resources at one go. Once again, we start this time-consuming tedious process to appoint a second vendor.
The shambles in which the Army, Navy and the Air Force find themselves today tantamount to dereliction of duty by the State, which in turn poses threat to the unity and integrity of the Union.
MoD’s legendary inefficiency extends battle-winning advantages to the enemy.
Meanwhile, without pausing for the mental lethargy of New Delhi, warfare technology has rapidly moved to pilotless or remote controlled vehicles and weapon systems on sea, land and in the air. One can practically look inside the enemy’s house sitting in New Delhi and neutralize the emerging threat by firing a missile with the help of a remote controlled pilotless drone.
We are nowhere near use of such magnificent technologies in spite of the favorable opportunities that exist in the new geopolitical environment.
Technological innovation earlier took a decade to develop. Warfare technology now can be out of date within a year. It is a distinct possibility that with the rapid pace of technological advances in warfare, by the time 126 MMRCA deal is finalized, much of the technology offered by OEMs may be out of date.
With diminishing or ageing population, the West perforce depends more and more on technology. However, as in Libya or Afghanistan unless cutting edge technologies are employed together with sufficient boots on ground, the situation is likely to result in a stalemate.
Luckily, India boasts of young demographic profile in abundance that is sufficiently tech savvy. Yet there is huge shortage of young officers as the government is not willing to give that extra incentive to lure them for a spell of short service commission. This creates vacuum in cohesion at the junior level, so vital to lead the troops.
...with the rapid pace of technological advances in warfare, by the time 126 MMRCA deal is finalized, much of the technology offered by OEMs may be out of date.
When one adds equipment shortage to it, the Indian Army, the Navy and the Air Force are unequal to the task the nation expects them to execute incase push comes to shove.
China and Pakistan’s support to insurgents, Maoists, and dissident groups within India is well documented. Therefore, internal and the external threats are interlinked and require seamless integration between the Civil and the Military.
Despite the grave threat posed by external forces against the Union, the Civil Administration is unwilling to swiftly equip the military with requisite young human resources or the latest technology to cope with the growing security challenge.
Nor the Civil Administration is eager to beef up its own weakening sinews by lateral induction into the civil segment, forty thousand highly skilled young soldiers (and officers) released each year by the Armed Forces
Induction of trained manpower from the military and merger of the military skills with the Civil Administration can be the game-changer effecting increased efficiency.
Induction of personnel equipped with military skills will not only boost the ability to reclaim territory lost but also help to hold the ground subsequently, lest Maoists or insurgents attempt to stage a comeback. Simultaneously, it will dramatically lower the ageing profile of Army, Navy and the Air Force, which is an operational necessity.
This arrangement is a win-win for Civil and the Military.
The shambles in which the Army, Navy and the Air Force find themselves today tantamount to dereliction of duty by the State, which in turn poses threat to the unity and integrity of the Union.
Surrounded by authoritarian regimes, and located within the arch of Islamic terrorism, the Union of India is possibly the largest social experiment in diversity in the 21st century. To keep the Union intact, therefore, it not only requires reversing the swiftly shrinking military capabilities but a degree of militarization of the pacifist Indian mind as well.

Mr Bharat Verma, you should write an article detailing where the money is disappearing, as every year there is over 10% increase in expenditure. If we are spending so much and capabilities are shrinking then we need to take some drastic action and sack the top rungs of the armed forces for their faulty procurement. Why nobody is writing in detail on this subject. This could be one of the biggest scams in independent India considering the amounts spent on defense. We can even consider hanging some people as the issue is of such great importance.
Amazing write-up! This could aid plenty of people find out more about this particular issue. Are you keen to integrate video clips coupled with these? It would absolutely help out.

amamzing article mr bharat, u have successfully helped many who wanted to write something for their school/ college projects/ presentations. initially i was surprised to know how come sumone has such a knowledge of the indian armed forces, but then your resume read 'ex-cavalier' and i couldn't expect more. first of all i dont think the condition isn't as dismal as u have portrayed. any lay man shoot those lame data / names of equipment that u have taken. i would like to ask u a question, have u ever fired with an insas rifle on a firing or range or in ops?? its a damn accurate weapon system. although it has some minor short comings, but then even M-16 had problems when it was inducted and opposed vehemently, and today its the mainstay of US army. to have an indigenous weapon is in itself a great feat. other countries which have their own assault rifle can be counted on fingertips. i agree that state of indian armed forces needs immediate address but making such baseless and factless articles is just raging up people who dont know much of forces....jaihind.

Hi, just wanted to say I attended this conference last year, and found it by far the best of about 8 conferences that I attended in the field. Full of professional insight based on testing by experts that knew what they were talking about. I would certainly go again and recommend it to anyone operating in this field.seo optimalizace
Mr. Verma please try and get some balance in your writings. One more thing that people like you from the services should definitely learn is to stop complaining about other arms of the government. As an Indian citizen I give as much respect to DRDO as I do to the services. If the services people do not control themselves, they will definitely lose goodwill.Mr. Verma, if China thinks twice today before attacking India it is primarily because of DRDO's missiles. Those of us who follow the developments in defense area in India, have more to complain about the services than the DRDO. Prolific writing alone will not reverse the damage being done to the image of the services. Do the services have an idea as to why the Indian public is gradually losing respect for them ?If there is relatively less progress in indigenous military industrial complex, a significant part of the blame lies with the services because they still have no idea how a military industrial complex is developed and appear unlikely to learn in the near future.After consuming huge amounts of precious resources, services people are not happy. Somebody should put it into their head that they cannot get more than 3% of GDP of a rapidly growing country. Learn to manage or step aside so that somebody else manages the show.
Web DirectoryI am really impressed by this excellent stuff on ZBrush which is a digital sculpting and painting program that has revolutionized the industry. I've enjoyed reading the nice post
I am of the belief that a tiger cannot fight with borrowed teeth and claws.For us to be prepared , we have to set in motion research fascilities in our engineering and science collages, and in the private sector. The PSU's and DRDo have not been able to deliver.The Government had made a policy decision way back in 2001, that the ratio of indegnious ratio was to be increased to 70% . It remains where it was.To do so the armed forces, will have to be mandated tto do so. I underestand this is what the Chinese have done.The Country from time immomrial , has sufferred from a lack of tactical and domestic armament industry.We never seem to learn.
It is who elect the government. sadly though there are very few among us from educated background who actually cast our vote. Its easy to blame the govt. for failing but haven't we failed ourselves by choosing them?
well, the information provided may largely points to the shortcomings in Indian defense programs but comparing it with that of other country's is illogical ,as one cant be sure about the defense proceedings in other countries. To modernize and maintain a large defense structure like that of India is not as easy as it is defined in the article. for example the MMRCA deal may take a long time but once taken it should assure India of its credibility,moreover modernization of infantry can't be done at one go, it has to be in phases. As for the shortage of battle ready squadrons ,it should be noted that , in times of peace there is no need of harping on battle readiness, but once the battle like situation arises they can be made battle ready in short notice.I think the author is seriously misinformed when he quotes .."Pakistan forces equipped with night vision devices will be sitting behind blind Indian mechanized forces since modern wars will be fought largely at night."The T90S tank ,which are destined to become the MBT of Indian army by 2015 ,are equipped with French designed night vision and thermal sights, so expecting Indian army to duck behind enemy lines during night warfare is hilarious. moreover the use of WW II carbines in Indian army still today, is simply ridiculous.
i think poverty is a big problem in India.you discus some good points in this post and some important issue of India.Indian Government trying to increasing their power and not do work for the poor peoples.i like to read informative blogs and this blog is also so good and helpful.thanks for taking time to discus this topic.
Country that does not wish to feed own army, will feed other’s army.
I hate to say it but what India needs is a repate of 1962 when Chian attacked us. If we got attacked by China and get defetaed in a quick border war it will force who ever is in power to take action to build up Indian defences which clearly are weak.Unless some thing so big happens no one in New Delhi (regardless of party in power) will do any thing. They are just a bunch of old farts who are too slow to take any action.
We are hearing reports of India's dilapidated defense infrastructure and we are also aware of the severe consequences it could cause to the integrity of this nation. But our politicians and bureaucrat feel we are living in 20th century and this is the reason why they are not taking modernization of our armed forces seriously. I know decisions pertaining defense issues can not be taken in haste but our procedures, whether it is about inviting the companies or to shortlist them require overhauling. If we are talking about enhancing our military capabilities then we must revamp our methodology too.
I strongly feel that the Indian defense procurement is hampered by external forces which have deeply penetrated into the top ranks of the government , I will be proven 100% correct maybe after few years when the truth comes out. One more war by pakistan will be devastating for india. We as citizens are helpless on the plight of the defense forces. Maybe a leader like Indira Gandhi is all india. I think the media must keep the pressur on the government when it comes to defense procurement.
Why do you write articles like this which shatters the hope of millions of Bharat Verma fan and leaves them with no energy as if China is coming for us? There is a minimum deterrence required for all these issues and we need to focus on our internal problems as well. How do we know that China’s arms are far more superior to our arms? 70% of their planes are “One Way Ticket” as well. Have you ever gone to China and seen the condition over there. A colorful and perfect march-past does not mean that the representing army is mightiest. Everything is proven on ground and we are fighting a new generation war which is fought with misinformation, propaganda, media and deception. Do you really thing China will attack India and nuke us. Is it possible? I don’t think so. It’s only that they will keep threatening us but their Communist slave people themselves want to live freely and without fear. It’s their nature and they have been living like this for 60 odd ye ars now. Their culture was destroyed by their leader and people of China realize that they are just slave labors of their communist government. It is said that only those civilizations survive which can bend. Those who don’t are exterminated. We are not yet serial producing the tanks and fighter planes and other defense equipments. We are doing research on it and we have just started. China started all these things 25 years ago and that’s why they are at this position. We don’t need to follow anyone and should have organic growth. We are perfecting things in our country so that we have indigenous technology for everything and once we have that, we could produce as many as we need. India is going on perfect path except for corruption and mismanagement and until people wake up, nothing is possible. It would be foolish of people to leave these critical issues at government’s mercy and wait for the result. Once the government, DRDO and other Defense establishments feel the public pressure, they would certainly deliver
the only thing to be blamed for this mess is this weak
