The hypothetical Indian Army is like plasticine that can be glued together at will. However, this is wrong. The key to future wars lies in dispersion and integration. You think that the Indian Army can arbitrarily split up armored divisions, artillery divisions, and air defense regiments in wartime and combine them into various combat units.

Yes. It's constantly done.

And the confusion caused by personnel from different departments, how to solve the complex communication and command problems of these temporary units on the battlefield? A simple logistics problem, an armored battalion of an armored division, an artillery company of an artillery division, and an infantry battalion of an infantry-style infantry form a joint force, who should they ask for logistical supplies? The armored division, the artillery division, or the infantry division?

That seems to have been a problem for you, not for us.

This discussion is becoming dumber and dumber as it goes. India is already going through several reforms and already has HIMARS alternative. The plan for a Starlink like network is already in works. There is nothing more dumber than thinking that a military can't evolve.
Honestly this is dumb and not just dumb it is just playing a scenario in one's mind. There is no point in discussing "nobility", "technicality", etc before a war even starts. You can have all these discussions when a war is played out, which in itself is very unlikely.
You are right. Before February 26, 2022, no one knew that this war would last for three years.

Do you really know what you are talking about? The support forces under one of my group armies include artillery brigades, air defense brigades, special operations brigades, army aviation brigades, engineering and chemical defense brigades, and service support brigades. Do I think China's army-level units are weak?

Yes. For example, an artillery brigade is not an artillery division. It's not "weak." It's "weaker" relative to the Indian structure at the "army" level.

PLAGF's CAB has an artillery regiment. 6 CABs require 6 artillery regiments. And then there's a separate artillery brigade assigned to a CAB within the army when necessary, whether it's 1 regiment or a full brigade.

An Indian "army," what we call "corps," has an artillery division. The entire firepower of the artillery division can be assigned to a single infantry/armored brigade or even a battalion when necessary. So at the army level the firepower is greater.

India can certainly organize itself, but when every battle on the battlefield requires such organization, why don't you organize the troops as needed for combat from now on?

That's what we have already done.

Our army is organized for the terrain. So a mountain division in Sikkim is different from a mountain division in Ladakh. Some units have more support, some units have less support.

If an Indian company is expected to come under attack from 3 Chinese companies, it will receive more support and reserves beforehand. If another Indian company is expected to be attacked by only a Chinese platoon at best, then its support and reserve structure is different. That's why Indian Army's ORBAT is a secret.
 
It seems that you don't understand what the Americans mean. The American believe that a stronger support force must be built on the brigade combat team, similar to China group army, so there is a 2028 waypoint, but they still believe that brigades and battalions are the most basic synthetic combat units.

It depends on what the HQ is. If the largest field HQ is a division HQ, then it's a division. If it's a brigade HQ, then it's a brigade. The structure for both is different. Support troops are irrelevant to this fact. Everybody knows an average US division has more support than Chinese or Indian equivalent units. That's a product of money.

Once India has enough money, even we will assign 40+ attack helicopters to a division. Then 40+ divisions will have 1600+ attack helicopters. And another 1000 attack helicopters as the main body. This is all about money, not structure.
 
Just the way you have become unsure about Our Response to Pak, similarly even Pak armed forces will become unsure after a bit more time and go into a lesser stage of alert. It is after that the strike will happen.
Remember operation Parakram, both sides locked each other for nothing. We got some news feeds & chit chat about war for 6 months in tea stalls, tjat was the only outcome for that operation.
 
This is Pakistan's problem, not ours. We have good relations with Iran and Afghanistan, and we are even in a kind of alliance. The war will eventually become a war between China and India.
You are wrong, the eventual war will be between ChiCom vs Chinese. And ChiCom will be wiped from the face of the earth.

When things turned out just as those pages predicted, we couldn't convince ourselves that they were false.
A person being posted as Head of Andaman and Nikobar command is a promotion and not demotion.

It has gone on bcoz Russians had a very poor war AIM. Their initial aim was to take over Kiev which they nearly succeeded in but than came an agrement and Russians withdrew from that front due to the cheating done by UK. After that Russians shud have concentrated on splitting Ukraine along Dniper but they chose to get bogged down in frontal war in Other regions. The failure was of Russia. This war shud not have lasted over 6 months had Indian Generals been in charge of the war.

Many members here not taken notice of the last statement of MOdi, "samay bahut kam hai aur karya bahut bada". It means we have very short time available to do something very big. It will be a very short and very intense war lasting just 3-5 days and within that Pakistan will be dismembered and destroyed. The day any of the nukes of Pakistan comes out of their underground bunkers, our satellites and that of our friends will pick them up. They will be destroyed in counter strike by our Nuke missiles even before they get mated to Missiles.
A long drawn out war favours India and will ensure complete decimation of Pak war fighting potential. You will see that within 3-5 days we will be able to achieve our war aim and the world will bow to the genious and strength of our armed forces.

Modi said, “samay bahut kam hai aur karya bahut bada” which literally means, “Time is very short and the task is very big.”

He said this in a speech to senior Indian Army officers on August 15, 2014, as he detailed the preparations needed to deal with a possible border escalation on Independence Day, at the National Defense Academy in New Delhi as a reminder that, in the face of the Pakistani threat, India needed to modernize its forces and accelerate its training and armament rates. This phrase has become emblematic in Indian military circles for stressing the need for swift, decisive action.

He used it again very recently, on April 29, 2025, at the YUGM Conclave in New Delhi (a meeting of senior officials - including NSA Ajit Doval and the Chiefs of Staff), where he addressed civilian and military leaders (and used it again a few days later on his Mann Ki Baat program).

He himself made it clear that this is not an imminent threat, but a call to speed up all processes (from laboratory to battlefield, or from idea to implementation). In short, it's not just a martial slogan: it's a governance tool to give speed and priority to its strategic objectives, be they military or national development.

By hammering home the idea that India has little time to prepare for any escalation against Pakistan (and, more broadly, its two fronts, Pakistan and China), Modi is putting direct political pressure on to speed up major acquisitions, including the Rafale G-to-G.

By reinforcing the rhetoric of urgency and threat, Modi has created a favorable political window of opportunity for rapidly completing the 40 Rafales. This strengthens the military staff's fast-track procurement approach, at a time when other priorities (helicopters, missiles) are also vying for funds.

This insistence on “short time, big job” clearly consolidates the Indian government's determination to rapidly conclude the purchase of 40 Rafale G-to-G aircraft. It aligns political and strategic pressure with the immediate need to reinforce the IAF's air superiority against its neighbors.
