The Indian army can't be defeated in the air, but it can win on the ground?

Obviously, obviously overthinking.

At that time, Wang Dong had already returned to Fort *** and was organizing the personnel of the "Angu" company to prepare to send military advisers to the Pakistani army in accordance with the secret agreement.

As early as the end of the Iraqi civil war, Angu signed a secret agreement with Pakistan to provide Pakistan with military advisers and instructors, and to participate in the combat operations of the Pakistani army when necessary, including outside Pakistan.

In fact, over the past few years, the people of Angu have been operating in the Kashmir region.

Xie Chuyue was in charge of this matter, and Wang Dong did not ask.

With the expansion of the company, Wang Dong could not be exhaustive, and handed over a lot of things to his subordinates, but fortunately, there were enough people who could take charge of themselves.

In Karachi, that ZDK-05 is about to be repaired.

Although the damage was extremely serious, the engineers brought by Wang Dong came up with a very good way, but it was also a very rough way.

What's the solution?

Get a second-hand Y-9 and remove the wings and tail to replace the parts on the ZDK-05.

The carrier aircraft of the ZDK-05 was originally the Y-9, but some changes were made in some parts, so the ZDK-9 could be repaired with Y-05 parts.

Of course, the necessary changes need to be made.

For this reason, Wang Dong left the engineering staff in Karachi.

Fortunately, with the offensive of the Indian Army in the direction of Lahore, the pressure on the southern battlefield has been greatly reduced, so the temporary absence of one ZDK-05 is not very significant.

In addition, the defeated Indian Air Force may not be able to devote too many troops to the southern theater.

Now, the main battlefield is to the north.

For the Indian Army, the first night of fighting went well, at least breaking through the border defense line of the Pakistani army and advancing about 20 kilometers.

Obviously, by the standards of the Indian Army, this is already a remarkable achievement.

Advance 20 kilometers in one night!?

That's right, this has already achieved the operational objectives of the Indian army.

Although India has always claimed to have the third most powerful army in the world and the most powerful ground force in South Asia, the Indian army has not even fully achieved mechanization.

Why?

Counting the quasi-active forces, that is, the border guards and other combat units that are not integrated into the army system but have the nature of an army, the total strength of the Indian Army is about 1 million.

In terms of the size of its troops, the Indian Army is not the third in the world, but the first in the world.

You must know that the total strength of the Chinese Army has been reduced to less than 800,000, the US Army is also around 600,000, and the Russian Army is less than 500,000.

Of course, this comparison is not very correct.

After all, China still has the armed police force, while the United States has the National Guard, and Russia has the internal affairs forces.

The question is, how much main battle equipment does the Indian Army have compared to the huge force of troops?

In terms of tanks, the Indian Army has nearly 3,000 vehicles, and more than 1,000 of them are T-90S, and more than 1,000 are modernized T-72 series; There are a little more, more than 3,000 infantry fighting vehicles, but most of them are old fighting vehicles such as the BMP-1 and BMP-2; Self-propelled guns are basically zero, and if you count vehicle-mounted guns as self-propelled guns, there are only a few hundred; In addition, there are rocket artillery, towed howitzers, field air defense systems, anti-aircraft guns, large-caliber mortars and other main combat equipment.

How strong is such an army?

In the case of tanks, the Indian Army has less than 30 tanks per 10,000 soldiers.

What about Pakistan?

The total strength of the Pakistan Army has always been less than 600,000, and the main battle tanks equipped with as many as 2,500, of which at least 1,500 are the "Khalid", "Khalid 2" and T-80UD with better performance, that is, the Pakistan Army has more than 40 tanks per 10,000 soldiers.

In addition to the severe shortage of main battle equipment, the Indian Army also lacks light equipment.

Not to mention anything else, just armored personnel carriers, there are not many in the Indian Army.

Only a few of the main forces had enough armored platforms, and the vast majority of the infantry of ordinary troops could only fight on foot.

What age is this, still fighting on foot?

In terms of aviation, the main forces of the Indian Army are the Mi-24 and Mi-35.

In fact, the latter is an improvement of the former, which is almost exactly the same in appearance, but the equipment is a little better, and it is changed to a new number, just to sell it at a high price.

Of course, this is also a common trick used by Russian arms dealers.

Although the Pakistan Army Aviation is not large, there are at least dozens of AH-1Z helicopter gunships, and the Chinese Z-10 gunships can be obtained at critical moments.

All in all, if you really want to talk about combat effectiveness, the Indian Army is really not very good.

Due to the limitations of the level of equipment, the tactics and tactics of the Indian Army are also very backward.

In fact, in a sense, the Indian Army has basically lost its ability to fight abroad, and the greatest value of its existence is to maintain domestic order.

Of course, it can also be said to be used to save face.

In South Asia, the Indian Army is still quite strong, at least it is very easy to deal with the weak and small countries around it, but it is far from being able to compete with real opponents.

Not to mention China, even compared with the Pakistan Army, the gap is not ordinarily large.

Why?

The Indian Army's main battle equipment has not been upgraded for about 20 years and has remained at the level of the early 21st century.

Let's still take tanks.

At the beginning of this century, the T-90S was a good main battle tank, after all, Russia spent a lot of money and basically solved the problems of the previous generation, that is, the T-72.

The question is, after 20 years, is the T-90S still quite advanced?

You know, tanks of the same period have been developed for several generations. Germany's "Leopard 2" has evolved from A5 to A8, the United States' M1A2 has developed from SEP1 to SEP3, Huaxia's ZTZ99 has also evolved to ZTZ99C, and even Japan has made a Type 10 light tank.

And what about the T-90S?

Still standing still.

It can be seen that this kind of weapon, which made the Indian Army proud at the beginning, is now not advanced, and can even be said to be quite backward.

Even so, the Indian Army still did not replace all of its main battle tanks with the T-90S.

Why?

No money.

Quantitatively, the main force of the Indian Army is actually the T-72M1.

Although the Indian Army has been improving this tank for more than a decade, and even claims to have reached the level of the T-90S after improvement, no matter how it is modified, the T-72 will not be able to reach the level of the T-90S, and the Indian Army does not have that much money to improve thousands of T-72s.

What is the T-72?

In the Gulf War more than 30 years ago, the myth of this tank was shattered.

More than 30 years have passed, and India still uses this tank, and it is regarded as the main force.

Obviously, what will such an Indian Army use to compete with the Pakistan Army, or what will it rely on to defeat the Pakistan Army, which is armed with a large number of advanced equipment?
