Operation Sindoor: Aftermath

The irony is too strong,

Given Thier Love for imports & gold plated weapons procurement

Well , they know what the Likely War Scenarios are going to look like

And their lives are on the line

And above all India has limited resources

So everything has to be balanced

For example the Recent news of HAMMER Bombs being licence produced was a surprise for me

Until I saw this picture of Tejas carrying 2 Hammer Bombs

What this means is that we don't have a similar indigenous weapon

The 1 Ton Gaurav LRGB is for SU 30 , perhaps the dimensions are not suitable for TEJAS

Similarly RUDRAM missiles are delayed, thus the need for Israeli LORA missiles

Above all we are in a era where War can break out any time

Give all these VARIABLES The Preparation and planning is Not easy for the Forces

India already has a AASM Hammer equivalent in the form of Tactical Advanced Range Augmentation (TARA) and PGHSLD kits that are compatible with 250kg, 450kg or 500kg class of dumb bombs.
These things aren't rocket science for us to not master, only thing that is now needed is orders.

Rudram 1 & Rudram 2 both are ready, Rudram 3 is in flight trials.
Their production will obviously be delayed if the end user shows no interest, and LORA which is basically an air launched rocket artillery can never effectively perform SEAD/DEAD the way the Rudram series can.

All these Munitions are Still Work in progress
 

The whole country is waiting to stick it to Pakistan! If he is talking about civilians being mentally ready to get “hit” and taking casualties this time, he should clearly say that so that people actually know what to be mentally ready for!

This statement sounds like that of mothers of 1960s discussing menstruation! What’s with all this hush-hush?

It is what it is. I do not expect any of these politicians to openly voice certain things. I would rather have them working towards making sure that the border infrastructure improves and drills held regularly in border states so that most are aware of what to do in case a conflict breaks out on short notice. Lots of statements coming from people in the govt., add this to the same list.

Yep! After Delhi and Ricin incidents, all these talks appear to have lost its meaning and weight a bit.

Meanwhile this:

Just becoz people in this forum are, doesnt mean the wider public is. They are hardly aware of the things happening. I am talking about literate people whose source of news is Orry and the latest hashtag.

War doesn't mean just deaths. It also means a lot of unintended inconvenience for civilian population that a xyz from south delhi might not be prepared for. The delusion of their right to entitlement is strong. Not much weaker than RG.

Ofcourse, this statement is also for the Beauracracy.

“Babu-crazy” aside, all the more reason to spell it out for the public I suppose. I do agree that a good lot of the people are blissfully ignorant and unaware of these things .. The current statement doesn’t really help change that in any way.

Well there's tara which is obviously delayed, but there's SAAW no order's yet despite it being ready,

Rudram & LORA are two different missiles, whereas rudram is more complex & expensive missile, it's primary role is anti radiation, where's i LORA is a ALBM, low cost, easy to produce,
Also we have couple of private player's who produces guidance kits,
And we now multiple low power turbo engines,

Where's army is busy on procuring BvS10, that too 18 in numbers, i don't know how 18 tract vehicles will change the course of war, why not placing order whap, the same whap which they used in galwan extensively, after that they completely forgot about it,
MPATGM is ready yet they are procuring javelin that too 200, what are we exactly gonna achieve with 200 javelin missiles, in a force which atgms primarily for destroying bunkers,
And 256 M982 excalibur guided shell are they preparing conflict for few hours,
We have to constantly remind ourselves that pakistan have more MGS than Indian army,
Zeus numerix has guidance kit for shells, the army uses Thier guidance kit for mortar rounds,

We simply cannot win war with limited gold plated weapons,

AASM/Hammer is a powered glide bomb that allows pop-up attacks with the launch ac flying at low altitude. TARA does not have a rocket booster currently but may get one in the future.
 
This is the statement which means that finally civilians will be seeing defence drills and other mock drills. Government is preparing for the war or some long skirmish with Pakistan.
looks like they established connections. still dont think it will kinetically escalate because of the trade stuff with the EU and the US though.

Don't think trade is any issue . Raw material and merchandise supply in world is limited and measured to economic viability. It has been proven to some degrees that that other countries are supplying to USA based on Indian raw material or value addition of Indian goods. Hell will be unleashed again whenever Munir wants.

That will only be counterproductive. The lal salaam sabotagers will use this to undermine govt efforts to eradicate red corridors. The anti-war, peaceful loving gang will get employment at jantar mantar.

They might wanna use their rip the bandaid method here. Slowly give signals, ready the Beauracratic machinery. And then when do some drills.. and rip of the bandaid by announcing war emergency if required. I believe govt haven't taken any call yet. They are getting somewhat ready just in case. They might be waiting for situation inside pak to unfold further.

How this approach turns out to be remains to be seen. No assumption will work when things hit the accelerator.

Right! India is not yet ready, could be preparing and upgrading but still not ready in all three domains ( economic, diplomatic and military).
