5.6mm (0.22cal) weaponry was stored at schools directly.
Kids were reached how to wear a gas mask, how to treat wounds, how to make a water filter out of a bottle with sand, stones, and carbon, how to use a compass and map ... it would be called "survival techniques" now.
Hell, we even held school olympics
You learn how to use ak-47 at boyscoot camps ? I doubt.

Chinese are suggesting that their S-400 missile batteries placed in Tibet will shoot down the BRAHMOs quite easily.GarryB wrote: Of course not putting missiles along your border would go a long way to lowering tensions and keeping the peace... they are light and highly mobile so you could put them on a plane and fly them to the border easily and quickly enough without the tension created by basing them there in the first place.
GarryB wrote:Good... that means they are so afraid of it they are planning to attack them before they are launched rather than deal with them as they arrive on target.
Their obvious problem is that there is a first batch of 40 odd missiles but that will no doubt be followed up with purchases of larger batches so the ability to deal with them before they can be launched will only get harder.
Ironically designing a truck based launcher that stores the missiles in a standard shipping crate would mean every truck near the Chinese border carrying such a load on its back will make pre-emptive self defence impossible.

The key to escalations is don't rush to ratchet up the pressure because it always just costs you more money in the long run.

China is ratcheting up the pressure on India.
The real problem is their support of Pakistan and indirectly, the Taliban movement which can send Islamists into India.

India is cognizant of the role being played by US and Saudi Arabia in nurturing Islamic terrorism. However, as flamming_python correctly pointed out Pakistan's role in promoting and exporting Islamic terrorists into India cannot be discounted.GarryB wrote:The core promoter and defender of Islamic nutters is Saudi Arabia and the US bends over backwards to defend them too, yet India is happy to ignore all that.... why?
But as China proved last year they are willing to invade India at the request of the US.GarryB wrote:I would say if they can forgive the US then it would be much easier and simpler and more sensible to instead forgive China.
I'm curious how did you arrive at this figure of 5 years? India has been purchaing Western military hardware even before India started to purchase similar hardware from the Soviet Union. The only difference is U.K has now been replaced by the U.S.GarryB wrote:Within 5 years India will be buying hand me down US ships and aircraft and other items because french and russian systems wont be compatible.

Sadly though I love my country, I would highly suggest foreign powers be wary of ingratiating themselves with America, as it comes with heavy prices. Our hard and soft power and the tools we have developed to enact it are inextricably linked to the ideology of the neolib and neocon hegemons. I would not trust any complex weaponry bought from America these days.
China has deployed long range HQ-9 SAM system close to the Indian border. In response India has deployed Smerch MLRS and BrahMos LACM.

India primarily exports software, which is a very competitive market.
I think it would be good for China to soften its stance towards India. I think there are ways of supporting Pakistan without causing further harm. Though I dont think China is supplying the very top notch to Pakistan.

China also has MLRS deployed and the HQ-9 will shoot down the Brahmos.

India has always been like that when it comes to Russian armaments, look at the FGFA (Indian Su-57) and how quick they were to abandon it when they realized that Russia had no plans to hand over the blueprints for peanuts (I think they paid $300M total into the project). Watch how fast India orders Su-57's after China buys a few squadrons.sepheronx wrote:India only has itself to blame really in all this mess.
Now it is up to India to try and negotiate with Russia for better weapons and countering those S-400's. Along with that, India needs to place the systems near the Chinese border, to attempt to force China to negotiations.
