"<br /><br />Don't you ever get exhausted after spreading so much nonsense??<br /><br />" And has the<br />performance out of a 18 inch barrel<br />that other designs achieve with 16<br />inch barrels" - <br /> You have got anything to show for your claims dog??By the way,you can be again proven spreading false propaganda through your arse without the slightest of knowledge on this.<br /> For example,INSAS 1B1 has got a 18.4" barrel to be precise.And its initial muzzle velocity is ~920 meter/sec for M 193 rounds and ~900+ meter/sec for the heavier SS 109/M 885 ammunitions.Try achieving such velocity from a 16" barrel you bastard.So again you lied you retard.<br /><br /> And INSAS is better than those rifles chambered for Soviet M 43 (like the AKM) and M74 rounds(AK 74) due to a variety of reasons.Like AKs are fitted with open sights which are craps..........literally.<br /> There are better 5.56mm rounds available all over the world like the new OFB 5.56X45 l rounds with a 66 grain hardened steel penetrator,American Mk 318SOST and Mk 262 77 grain bullets.No such rounds available for AK rifles.<br /><br />INSAS has a much flatter trajectory and higher muzzle velocity due to its longer barrel than AKs which results into increased range and armor perforation capabilities.<br /><br />These are only few.<br /> <br />"And we tried<br />to upgrade the 130 mm because<br /> our MOD cant get it's head out of<br /> it's own ass".<br /> <br /> No you moron.They wanted to upgun the M 46 to Metamorphosis L45 standard due to a variety of technical and operational reasons.Like<br /><br />1.Standardisation of the artillery arm to 155mm for reduced logistical footprint.<br /><br />2.155mm L45 howitzers have a far greater range than a M 46 field gun.<br /><br />3.Availability of a variety of long range 155mm shells from both domestic and foreign sources.<br /><br />4.Having been designed for flat trajectory,a field gun like M 46 has very limited effectiveness in mountainous terrains since due to their flatter trajectory,they can't engage targets behind a ridge.<br /><br /> But of course you wouldn't know these stuffs since you are a fucking retard.<br /><br /> I don't know why I keep replying to your nonsense??But now finally I've had enough of your BULLCRAP.As far as I'm concerned,this conversation is over.But if you insist on keep beating around the bush then you are welcome.Do it yourself.Anuragnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3545138702780178046.post-35744262596459191062014-04-30T21:19:57.971+05:302014-04-30T21:19:57.971+05:30mr.karn,

An insult with no answer...You are bad at debating . An insult with no answer is counter argument . You are the one that listed the 203 as a threat to us .I said it is an anti fortification arty piece designed for use against fortifications like the seigfried line . Might I suggest reading comprehension ? <br />Please demonstrate how a 203 can be towed by a 6X6 .. I won't hold my breath.<br /><br />Yes I made a mistake .. I described it in regiments as with Soviet army formations . <br />Please tell me more about the how artillery assets are handled .Division level arty is never used without explicit authorization of division HQ.<br />Wow I gave a simply example of vietnam and you went full shitpoast . I was merely trying to explaining to you what we use instead of 155 mm as our division arty when you sperged out about our 105 mm and 122 mm guns .<br />We will use these guns far into the future rest assured . And we tried to upgrade the 130 mm because our MOD cant get it's head out of it's own ass . And I care little about who your neighbor is keep that to your self .<br /><br />Ah yes general .. I await your thesis on how the lack of depth of pakistan where even their reserve formations are within striking distance and their aircraft have 3 minutes to scramble in time to intercept any aircraft that crosses their border is an advantage . If all you have is shitposting do shut up .<br /><br />You asked the question on how our airforce can eliminate the pak arty within hours o hostilitiees being declared . I asked you in turn which pak arty can effectively engage our fores within the 1st few hours of hostilities while remaining safe from our air assets . Surely teleportation is the answer . Get back to me when you manage to get your head out of your own ass hole .<br />The folks on tanknet know a lot but the assumption they work on is that besides the length of the sabot everything remains equal. This is the assmtion they wrk on when comparing between nato and soviet rounds .The naiza has a heavier sabot that they assume doesn't lose muzzle velocity and velocity over the time of flight n Indian. <br />I am well aware of what KMDB is you pleb . It's sad . the only thing keeping their head aboe water is engine production engineering support .<br />You call me a India fanboy and quote Kunal as reliable source . the guy that fanboys every bit of equipment put out by drdo and cries about corrupt senior officers who chose foreign equipment and evil russians bent on providing us equipment to tide over the shortages caused by the sad state of our defense industry .<br />Ah yes the mighty Insas1b1 that required almost a decade of refining from the orignal shit version to get to a barely acceptable level. And has the performance out of a 18 inch barrel that other designs achieve with 16 inch barrels and is almost half a kg heavier than almost every AR platform in service. .It can I said by era improve reading comprehension . <br />THe only thing the Arjun has over the t 90MS is the hydropneumatic suspension .<br />Wow considering the arjun holds its ammo right at the front next to the driver where it is most likely to be hit is "superior " ammo storage according to you.. . bravo . But whom am I talking to ...<br />Well considering the 500 paladin number comes straight out of wiki and janes claims that sh 1 are used by pakistan . Please wiki warrior throw more shit .<br /><br />Re militia :I do my part to inform morons like you .

"Oh no sir...Continued from above<br /><br />@Karn,<br /><br /> "Oh no sir i am an unashamed<br />Soviet/Russia equipment fanboy<br />and I firmly believe that the Arjun ,<br />LCA ,Insas as they exist now are the<br /> worst pieces of equipment in the<br /> world today (by Era)."-<br /><br /> Then you are proving again that you are nothing more than an ignorant retard with intellect level less developed than a donkey.<br /> As it stands now,INSAS 1B1 trench is comparable to other assault rifles chambered for 5.56X45mm NATO ammunitions in terms of accuracy and effective range at a fraction of their cost.<br /> And it's better than rifles chambered for Soviet M43 and 5.45X39mm ammunition in almost every aspects including accuracy,range (due to better sights and the flatter trajectory of 5.56X45mm NATO ammunitions).<br /><br /> And Arjun is one of the better tank designs.In many aspects,it's better than other eastern block tanks including sighting devices,FCS,main gun,armor,suspension,ammo storage etc.Only thing lacking is a modern FSAPDS round since the current round design is mid '80s vintage and hasn't been replaced ever since.<br /> But whom am I talking too??<br /><br /> "But even then<br />the sad attempts by Pakistan to try<br /> and claim that they are superior and<br />have indigenous weapons<br />development fills me with<br />schdenfrude ".- <br /> <br /> Well I'm not a Pakistani,so can't speak anything on this on their behalf.<br /> <br />" (many of them<br />are older l/24s with an abysmal<br />range of 14kms" -<br /><br /> Only the ~120 odd M 114s are of L24 calibre and they are intended to be phased out by new Panters.<br /><br /> "only the 30 odd<br />Panters are l/52s ) towed systems" -<br /> You really are an ignorant idiot aren't you??Turky sent 12 MKEK Panters in 2011.Till now POF has produced about ~64 systems....so the total number should stand at ~80,with PA plans to eventually induct upwards 200 Panters.Get that into your head fool.<br /><br /> "roughly 100 paladins"- Did you pull this gem out of your arse??!!Oh wait,I know....you got it from wikipedia.What else could be expected from a moron like you??<br /> Listen you dumb retard,according to Janes,Pakistan Army presently has some 500+ M 109A5 Paladin tracked SPH...period and it's a much more reliable than your dumb wikipedia.<br /><br /> "the<br /> number of SH 1s is not clear"- Only to a retard like you whose only knowledge is from wikipedia.For others it's crystal clear and the answer is zero.Pakistan Army do not have a single SH 1 in their inventory.They have settled for the MKEK Panter.How much an ignorant are you man??!!<br /><br /> About your "lengthy,insightful and enlightening" paragraph on the militia (like I didn't know) - listen boy,I've already explained it in detail multiple times and I've got no energy left to do it all over again.I've been doing this over and over hoping to get a different outcome but I'm not insane.So can't do it anymore.<br /><br /> And this is the last time I'm replying to your post.You are simply not fit to run a debate with as don't even have the bare minimum of knowledge and ability to comprehend simple english necessary.<br /> It's been enough already.Just grow up now because this world has got no place for simpletons like you.Anuragnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3545138702780178046.post-86703047331416801192014-04-30T00:06:38.791+05:302014-04-30T00:06:38.791+05:30Karn,

Try to<br />comprehend the role of different<br />guns before you start waving<br />around ignorance with pride" - <br /><br /> Oh yeah??!!May be that's why Indian Army is looking for upgrading its entire M 46 inventory to 155mm L45 standard and replacement for its D 30s (the IFGs will be retained for mountain regions)??!!I think I should tell my neighbour when he comes home from his duty that they are a bunch of fools who don't have an iota of what to do and learn a thing or two from you then??I'm just amazed by your level of stupidity and ignorance....Really!!<br /><br /><br /> " The 130 mm in service with our<br />army has a longer range than the<br />155/39 the pakistanis have at the<br />cost of a lower rate of fire"- <br /><br /> No longer the case boyo,at least not in our case it's not.Apparently you are not a very current affairs guy.So let me give you a little dose of reality.The maximum range of M 46 is ~26 km with unassisted full bore shots which was indeed greater than 155mm L 39 guns.But due to emergence of better propelant charges and metalurgy of shells,the L39 guns can now engage targets to near the same distance with unassisted rounds with ~40% more destructive capability.<br /> And there is more to it.There are multiple types of 155mm extended range base bleed rounds currently under production by both India and Pakistan which enables the L39 guns with standard 23 litre volume chambers to engage targets beyond 30 km.But there are no 130mm base bleed ammo is available to Indian Army and hence the M 46 guns no longer enjoy the advantage of longer range.<br /> Nothing remain unchanged for too long.It's high time you wake up and smell the coffee.<br /> Anuragnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3545138702780178046.post-49798275059974509462014-04-29T21:59:14.119+05:302014-04-29T21:59:14.119+05:30@Kittu,

That cannot be hauled by a standard army truck .Hence it lacks "strategic mobility" ,learn something you ignorant moron . The 203 mm cannon is surpassed in effectiveness by the 155 mm .<br />The 105 mm and 122 mm are regimental artillery while the 155 is divisional artillery . Even after we finish producing the entire run of 155mm we will continue to have similar guns in service . Try to comprehend the role of different guns before you start waving around ignorance with pride .<br />The 130 mm in service with our army has a longer range than the 155/39 the pakistanis have at the cost of a lower rate of fire.It forms the backbone of our divisional artillery . Infact the 130 mm handily out performed the 155/39s of the americans in vietnam. <br /><br />This is the 1st time a lack of strategic depth has been described to me as an advantage . You have revolutionized military philosophy "general"! <br /><br />Our airforce will not be able to mount effective CAS in the 1st few hours, while the magical pakistan artillery teleports around destroying everything we send at them in the mean time ..Sure ..<br /> Naiza round ... Where would be without pedantics and forum discussions based on photographs that do not scale .<br /><br />Oh no sir i am an unashamed Soviet/Russia equipment fanboy and I firmly believe that the Arjun , LCA ,Insas as they exist now are the worst pieces of equipment in the world today (by Era). But even then the sad attempts by Pakistan to try and claim that they are superior and have indigenous weapons development fills me with schdenfrude .<br /><br /><br />The difference between an army and a militia/insurgency is broadly that , an army has the support of heavy weaponary and airpower as well as a logistics and the most important distinction is that an army has mobility (well this ties in with the logistics part). A militia can hold an area an that has to be defensible (City, mountains forest etc )Even then cannot hold out against heavy weapons nor can they move a large distance nor can they keep up a fight for long due to not having a consistent supply chain . Hence the only good thing that they are good for is harassment of occupying forces. In pakistans context the only place a militia can be a problem is in the cities as we have no need to go fight in the eastern mountains as almost all of their industry and infrastructure is in the plains in the west near our border.<br /><br />I know you were responding to someone else but Pakistan has about 300 155 mm (many of them are older l/24s with an abysmal range of 14kms only the 30 odd Panters are l/52s ) towed systems and roughly 100 paladins (the number of SH 1s is not clear). While we have 200 155/39s remaining .<br /> KarnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3545138702780178046.post-69856745215782685162014-04-29T09:44:18.663+05:302014-04-29T09:44:18.663+05:30@DAshu,

M 59 - ~50<br /> B. M 114 - 160+<br /> C. M 198 - 160+<br /> D. MKEK Panter L/52 - around 80 at present.Pakistan Army has planned to eventually induct total 200 systems.<br /><br /> In comparison,Indian Army has only ~350 or so operational Bofors FH 77B L/39 calibre towed guns in its inventory as of now. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> @THANX Prasun da,my question can wait.You please carry on with your research for your upcoming monologue.I'll be eagerly waiting for it to come out.All the best.<br /> <br />Anuragnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3545138702780178046.post-43194183222987416202014-04-28T04:29:06.783+05:302014-04-28T04:29:06.783+05:30To ANURAG: Have been extremely busy for the past 2...To ANURAG: Have been extremely busy for the past 2 weeks while digging up lots of archival materials relating to the 1962 & 1971 wars, since such data is required for a monologue I'm now drafting for a forthcoming symposium on the role played by aerial logistics during these two wars & future options for rotary-winged aviation in the Indian subcontinent in terms of vertical envelopment options aimed at accelerating the operational tempos of future limited wars. <br /><br />Will answer all your outstanding queries in this very thread later today.Prasun K.

Replace the existing Carl Gustavs used during such operations with hyperbaric LAWs of the type available from RAFAEL of Israel. <br /><br />To RAW13: Of course it is a failure at the institutional-level, but not that of Army HQ. The failure is that of the MoD & its inability to articulate a universally applicable promotions policy, i.e. either stick to seniority without exceptions, or embrace the ‘deep selection’ system based on meritocracy. <br /><br />To SUDIPTO: Absolute baloney. Typical mis-reading of the situation by an out-of-area Caucasian! On the contrary, both Bangladesh & Sri Lanka have to be complimented on the splendid & creative ways their foreign service bureaucrats have engaged their Indian counterparts in almost all spheres, especially in the areas of trade & commerce.Prasun K.

The final tally won’t be available till August 2014. Since the IA wants to standardize on 155mm/52-cal systems, the 2S19M1 MSTA-S doesn’t meet the reqmt. <br /><br />To DEFENSE & AEROSPACE: 1) ATLAS Elektronik, Textron Systems, SaabTech, Kongsberg, & ECA of France. 2) The reqmt is only for flight conversion & therefore existing B.737-800 flight simulators used by commercial airline operators will suffice. The IN’s own P-8I flight simulator is a far more sophisticated system with additional mission management sensor & display replicators in the cockpit.<br /><br />To RAD: CARTOSAT’s imagery is of the electro-optical type, which is fine for terrain visualization for land navigation for ground forces. For GIS-based terrain mapping for PGMs, SAR imagery is mandatory & nothing else works. Therefore, RISAT-1/2 satellites are used for such purposes, as is SAR imagery obtained from EL/M-2060P pods. GPS-based Terrain navigation for PGMs requires coordinates right up to the 7th decimal point, which isn’t available from any photo-imagery or SAR-equipped satellite. Even with IRNSS satellite constellation, one requires targets to be mapped with on-the-spot coordinates acquisition—something that can be done only by UAVs or SOF personnel on long-distance covert intel-gathering missions, like the ones conducted by USN’s SEALs & Marine Force Recon. About Nirbhay, the DG of DRDO was referring on the need to evolve a family of cruise missiles from one standard baseline design, instead of developing different types of cruise missiles. Israel can’t provide such technical know-hows since most of such know-hows are derived from US-origin systems architectures & hardware. Even DSMAC isn’t stealthy & PGMs using such techniques can easily be detected by ground-based IRST sensors. <br /><br />To KARN: Certainly not up to depths of 2,000km, but only up to 80km & that too only for land navigation. For airborne precision-strikes, mapping capability is very limited due to the availability of only two satellites, RISAT-1 & RISAT-2. The PRC on the other hand operates six SAR-equipped satellites.<br /><br />To ROHIT: 1) No. 2) That’s right. 3) Even if they do see them, what can one expect from them?Prasun K.
