Indian military equipment. In Delhi on Friday 26 January, a military parade was held in honor of India's Republic Day, marking the adoption of the constitution on 26 January 1950 and the acquisition of sovereignty from Britain. The military parade was hosted by Indian President Draupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, guests from different countries, including French President Emmanuel Macron. For the first time, military women became the main theme of a military parade. For the first time, the parade was opened by 100 women playing Indian national musical instruments. India's military equipment is quite diverse, as defense products are purchased from 85 countries, the main suppliers being Russia, Israel and France. But there was little of her at this parade. The military part of the parade was led by Russian-Indian T-90S Bhishma tanks; the first Indian T-90S tank was assembled on January 7, 2004. Also shown at the parade was the Indian NAMIS missile launcher with the NAG ATGM, created on the basis of the Russian BMP-2, with a firing range of up to 4000 meters.

Those ACE cranes made tractors now in Army use, can be fitted with atgm/armament, multipurpose ones.

ACE 4x4 multipurpose tractors were bought under a ₹550 cr order, these can be fitted with different attachments.Would be interesting to see if these eventually get some firepower as well

This concept is so baffling to me. This is something I would expect to see in the next round of farmer protests, not in the IA. How is this useful in a realistic near-peer combat scenario versus a BMP2 or even a lightly armored 4x4?

I think (hope) this is for when all available BMPs & armoured vehicles have been destroyed in combat.

Got to keep on fighting till the next batch of new-build vehicles are delivered.

My latest blog post analysing the Agnipath scheme.
Agnipath - Analysis and the way forward
This is a de-novo data based analysis, examining each of the assumptions behind it, why I think they are ill founded
and what a more viable alternative might be, since I believe the scheme is unworkable in its current form. I also link
other analysis which highlight operational concerns.
In the course of my research I changed my position on it, based on data.
