After the Sino-Indian War, China completely established its ownership of China's central control of Kashmir, and broke the poor self-confidence of the Indians, so it was nicknamed: Fight the third in the world!

More than 40,000 soldiers who had experienced a series of battles in the Indian Civil War were chased by more than 5,000 Chinese soldiers in Kashmir? The author didn't believe it at first, but when he saw India's military industry, the author immediately said that he was losing!

So let's take a look at what makes India's military industry a joke by the Chinese people!

1. "Arjun" main battle tank

In March 1974, India officially approved the development of the Arjun main battle tank, and the development plan was also allocated 155 million rupees for the first time, and the pre-research work began from there. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The tank weighs 50 tons and its main components such as the engine, transmission, 120mm rifled gun and its ammunition, advanced armor and fire control system are required to be produced in India.

By the time the first prototype of the Arjun tank was built in March 1984, Rs. 300 million had been spent on the programme. In March 1985, the prototype was exhibited to the public. By the end of 1988, India planned to build 20 prototype Arjun tanks to carry out extensive testing of weapons, fire control systems, engines and transmissions and suspensions. However, by the end of 1987, only 10 prototypes had been made, of which 6 were handed over to the Indian Army for testing, and the remaining 4 remained at the Combat Vehicle Research Institute for testing and improvement.

Since the official development of the tank, the plan has been repeatedly postponed, and it has not been completed after 15 years, and the original goal of equipping the troops in 1990 has been postponed at least until the mid-90s. The R&D expenditure has been repeatedly increased to Rs.2920 crore, which is 20 times the amount of the first allocation, of which the cost of foreign exchange is Rs. 893.6 million, accounting for about one-third of the total funding. Prior to March 1986 alone, the Tank Research Institute spent Rs. 688.2 million, of which Rs. 328.6 million was spent on foreign exchanges.

It was not until ten years later, in March 1984, that the first prototype of the Arjun tank was assembled. The Indian Army did not rate the Arjun tank very highly, and pointed out in the prototype appraisal report that "the test results showed that the Arjun tank could not meet the user's acceptance conditions in terms of design and performance", and "the worst thing was that it was found that the Arjun tank was not designed with safety, reliability and maintainability in mind". The main specific questions raised in the report are:

(1) The turret and vehicle body are not designed for smooth and safe operation, for example, when the driver drives with the window open, the turret rotation will touch the head; When the gun is in the forward direction, the driver cannot get in and out of the cockpit.

(2) The components of the fire control system are neither integrated nor coordinated with each other.

(3) The loading speed of the shell is unacceptably slow, for example, it takes 15 seconds to load a projectile to be fired, and the time to load a non-projectile is longer.

(4) When loading shells, the gun must be adjusted to a certain elevation angle, otherwise it cannot be loaded.

(5) The anti-aircraft machine gun is operated by the loader outside the vehicle, and the operation of the anti-aircraft machine gun and the loading of shells cannot be carried out at the same time.

(6) There are only 3 rounds to be fired in the turret, and the army requires at least 12 rounds to be fired.

(7) The turret structure of the prototype is unreasonable and easy to jam.

(8) The weight of the prototype car is 52~60t, which is too much longer than the original plan of 45t, which seriously affects the mobility of the tank and causes difficulties in railway transportation and exceeds the bridge safety passing standard.

(9) The working environment of the occupants is not conducive to the optimal performance of the occupants, such as small seat adjustment, uncomfortable sitting, and difficult access to the control equipment by the occupants.

In conclusion, the results of the prototype tests do not make it possible to conclude that the tank can effectively perform combat missions.

The Arjun MK1 prototype was developed in the spring of 1988, and the Arjun MK2 began in August 1988, with 24 prototypes to be produced, and the first prototype was scheduled to be completed in 1989.

Due to many technical problems that could not be solved, the Indian government finally abandoned the original intention of developing the "Arjun" on its own, and brought in the German company Klaus Maffei, which is famous for manufacturing the "Leopard 2" tank, to help. As a result, the Indian "God of War" was transformed into a German "leopard". The engine, one of the most important components of the Arjun, was also replaced with a product made by the German company MTU. Although the German manufacturers claimed that the engine had first-class performance, in July 1988, when the "Arjun" was tested in the desert, it was found that the engine could not adapt to the environment of the main combat area in the western desert area bordering Pakistan, which was expected by the "Arjun" to be in the western desert area, and the power loss was as high as 20 to 25 percent due to serious overheating of the engine.

Another decade later, in the trials of 1994 and 1995, the delicate "Arjun" still could not meet the already reduced requirements for use and tactical and technical indicators. In the military's test report, the difficult "Arjun" was judged to be "unfit for battle." Despite this, the Government of India has decided to reallocate funds to continue to support the development of Arjun.

Another fatal problem for the "Arjun" tank was the safety of its main guns. India's technical department used to produce 120mm tank guns for the T-72/T72M1 "Ajaya" main battle tanks imported from Russia, but there have been dozens of explosions in the process of using this type of gun since 2000. As a result, the relevant manufacturers were forced to recycle 770 barrels produced by themselves. And the 120mm gun of "Arjun" was produced by the same manufacturer. This in turn made the Indian military have deep doubts about the safety of the "Arjun" main gun.

Due to repeated problems in the development of the tank, and the proportion of imported parts of the pre-production vehicle has been as high as 60%, it has completely deviated from the requirements of "basic localization" initially stipulated by the Indian military, so it has been strongly criticized by all quarters in India.

Out of self-esteem and the need to develop its defense industry independently, India still decided to equip its troops with this problematic pile of tanks. At the end of September 2000, the Vajpayee government announced that the Arjun MK1 was officially put into production. After a 26-year development process, this Indian-developed main battle tank was finally forced into production amid a pile of problems.

"Arjun" was put into production, but when the "Arjun" MK1 was transported by rail for the first time, it was found that the design width exceeded the railway transportation limit standard by at least 6 cm, which means that the careless Indian designers did not consider letting this tank on the train for long-distance transportation until the "Arjun" was finalized and put into production.

October 8, 2006 -- India's Ministry of Defense, which had been working hard for 30 years, had no choice but to cancel the plan to develop and manufacture the "Arjun" main battle tank developed and manufactured by the country, and a small number of "Arjun" tanks that had already been produced would be used for training missions.

In July 2008, the Indian Army said that it would not purchase more domestically produced "Arjun" tanks in addition to the 124 already ordered, which undoubtedly sounded the death knell for the "Arjun" tank project, which has a history of 30 years since its establishment. But India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), which develops the Arjun main battle tank, wants to shove the junk to the military, saying that seeking government intervention to ensure that "localization efforts" are "appropriate rewards" and that the Indian army should order at least 500 Arjun tanks to stabilize the production line and lay the groundwork for future MBT development.

It took 30 years from the official approval of the development of the "Arjun" to mass production, compared to the time taken by Germany to develop the "Leopard 2" and the United States to develop the M1 no more than 15 years, and the "Arjun" was the most difficult to produce among all the third-generation tanks. Due to repeated problems in the development of the tank, and the proportion of imported parts for pre-production vehicles is as high as 60%,

Due to the lack of technical reserves, although a large number of foreign advanced tank components are selected, it is difficult in the integration process. At the same time, the proportion of these key imported components in the tank as a whole is excessively high. The proportion of self-made parts of the "Arjun" prototype is 73%, but in actual production, the proportion of imported parts is as high as 60%, and its so-called independent development has become a joke. "Arjun" was actually reduced to an "assembly" of foreign products.

Now there is only one time in India when you can still see the Arjun tank, and that is during the National Day parade!

2. Light combat aircraft "LCA"

The "LCA" project, a light combat aircraft claimed to be developed by India itself, began in 1983 and adopted the American-made F404 engine, which has the world's most advanced aircraft engine technology, and made its first test flight in 2001 after a long period of 18 years. In 2007, after seven years of flight testing, it was able to reach a maximum speed of Mach 1.05, not Mach 1.6 as designed. The setback of this test flight was another serious blow to the Indian aviation industry. How can a ******** like this, with a flight speed of only Mach 1.05, be used in combat? The aircraft still failed to meet the design speed requirements. Moreover, Indian aircraft engineers have so far failed to find out why the "LCA" has not reached the design speed.

In addition to American-made engine********s, the Indian military has also equipped this aircraft with the most advanced avionics produced in many countries in the world, and the development cost has risen from the initial budget of 5.5 billion rupees all the way to 55 billion rupees, but there are still many technical problems that have not been solved after 25 years of aircraft development. The Indian military estimates that if the aircraft can enter service, it will be as early as 2012. And the cost of its development will exceed 12,000 crore. Indian commentators say that so far, the comprehensive technical indicators of the "LCA" will certainly face a situation in which they will lag far behind before they have been successfully developed. But even so, India still has not given up on the idea, and the Indian government's allocation of "LCA" has not stopped. A foreign commentator said with a smile about this Indian plane: "If you want to use this Indian plane, which has an empty weight of only 5.5 tons and is full of problems, with a Su-30 plane, it is best to fix it on the back of the Su-30 to really match it."

This is not the first time that the Indian military has lost a missile, as India test-fired the Agni-3 missile in 2006, but after the missile was launched, it made a "directional error" and crashed into the Bay of Bengal in the middle of the way. Although no damage was caused, such a large deviation makes one have to worry: what if the missile "hits" a residential area? In addition to the explosive power of the missile, the fuel it carries also contains many substances that are harmful to the human body. For example, for the sake of security, the United States has used small uninhabited islands in the South Pacific as missile test sites.

Recently, after more than 33 years of long-term dystocia, LCA was finally driven by Hindustan Aviation to put ducks on the shelves of general drop service, Indian netizens are full of confidence in this, shouting loudly that LCA can beat Chinese J-10, in this regard, the author just wants to sigh, not to mention that J-10's ultra-low altitude speed of Mach 1.2 and the high-altitude speed of Mach 2.2 are what you LCA can't catch up with, and when you have a large number of LCA in India, the rabbit black ribbon machine has already been flying all over the sky!

3. Submarine-launched nuclear cruise missiles

At noon on 25 February 2008, India launched its Ocean submarine-launched nuclear cruise missile from a fixed underwater pontoon eight kilometres off the coast of Visakhapatnam in the eastern Andhra Pradesh Pradesh. Underwater pontoons are used because at the moment India does not have submarines that can be used to load such missiles for testing. Moreover, this SLBM has a range of only 700 kilometers, which can be said to be the closest SLBM currently in service. After watching the missile burst out of the water, the Ministry of Defense could not wait to immediately announce that the test launch was successful; India and international media have also reported on it, claiming that India has become one of the world's top five powers (i.e., the United States, France, Russia, and China) with the ability to launch underwater nuclear bombs. The SLBM was originally destined for the south-south side of the Bay of Bengal, near the Andaman Islands in India. However, the Indian Navy units waiting there did not detect the incoming missiles for a long time, and finally waited for the order to search for the missing missiles. Traditionally, a missile that has lost control usually initiates a self-destruct process and uses a radio signal to inform the ground of its crash site. However, India's delay in releasing relevant information this time has puzzled analysts. As we all know, a strong support capability is the key to ensuring the smooth implementation of missile space flights. In this regard, it goes without saying that the United States and the Soviet Union and other traditional powers were able to dispatch a huge fleet of ships, including the "Yuanwang" space survey ship, to the South Pacific at the end of the 70s of the last century to accurately track and determine the flight trajectory of long-range missiles. In order to cover up the embarrassing situation of the missile's unknown whereabouts, the Indian military explained that the missile had been successfully launched, but observers had failed to grasp the missile's flight route. The fact that the Indian authorities "do not know the whereabouts of their own missiles" can only show that the "homework" it has done in the basic field is still very inadequate.

Although the Indian Ministry of Defense did not announce the launch failure, some experts deduced from past experience that the missile did not reach its destination and was difficult to find. Since it is impossible to know the specific location of the missile's fall, it is practically impossible for the Indian military to find its whereabouts in a sea area of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. So, will this long-lying missile pose a potential threat to the natural environment and human life? This is the topic that many people are most concerned about.

As a matter of fact, India's National Defense Research and Development Organization, which is responsible for developing the "Haiyang" missile, held a celebration of missile development in New Delhi as early as a week ago. Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh announced at the celebration that India already has the capability to launch nuclear cruise missiles from underwater submarines. The Ocean missile was developed by the Indian Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) and has been being studied for 14 years.

4. Nuclear submarines

The "Ocean" submarine-launched nuclear missile is designed to equip India's first domestically produced nuclear submarine, which has been developed for 25 years and will cost more than $5.1 billion to build India's second-wave nuclear strike capability. There are still many technical difficulties, and it is planned that it will not be launched until next year. Even if India's first nuclear submarine is launched next year, there is still a long way to go before it is officially deployed. Indian media reported that the Navy's first nuclear submarine will not be operational until 2012. According to an analysis by US intelligence sources, India's submarine-launched nuclear missiles will not be deployed on nuclear submarines until at least around 2010.

The Indian Navy plans to deploy a total of five nuclear submarines around 2025, each of which will be equipped with "oceanic" nuclear missiles, and India's nuclear submarines will become an underwater nuclear force that will impress the world.

Indian defense officials said earlier this month that India, which already has a force of 19 submarines, is determined to further strengthen its maritime force projection platform, following the purchase of six Scorpio-class conventionally powered submarines from France in 2005, and plans to introduce six anti-submarine submarines equipped with new missiles for the purpose of building an underwater hunting force in the blue-water fleet.

The Indian Navy currently has 19 submarines, including 10 Russian-made Kilo-class submarines, which are being upgraded by Russian shipyards; In addition, there are five Russian-made F-class submarines and four German Type 209 submarines. But most of these submarines are old, and most of them will expire in 2012.

In addition, the Times of India reported on July 4, 2008 that an Akula II-class nuclear submarine leased by the Indian Navy to Russia is expected to be delivered in September next year. The Akula II-class nuclear submarine has already undergone various navigational tests at Russian shipyards. With a displacement of 12,000 tons, the submarine is a multifunctional attack nuclear submarine that can carry more than 20 strategic nuclear warheads. The submarine is leased for 10 years and is rented for about $600 million. This shows that the launch of India's domestically produced nuclear submarines next year may not be realized.

5. Lunar spacecraft 1

Mir Schwamy Annadullaj, commander-in-chief of India's "Lunar Spacecraft 1" lunar exploration project, recently publicly said: "The lunar project is one step behind Japan and China, and the lunar landing project must be two steps ahead of China and Japan!" He said India plans to launch Luna Spacecraft 1 on 9 April 2008 and start operations in July to ensure that the designed tests will be completed within two years. At present, the Indian Space Research Organization is working at full capacity, checking the progress of the work every 14 days to address the problems identified.

On February 12, 2008, the chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization, Nair, revealed to the media that India's first lunar exploration program, which was originally scheduled for April 9 this year, had been postponed.

Speaking to the media in Bangalore on the same day, Nair said that there is still a lot of testing work to be completed before the launch of the first small unmanned lunar probe "Luna Spacecraft 1", and Indian scientists will decide on the delayed launch time by the end of this month after meeting to discuss it. Nair said the new launch date is definitely between April and June.

Nair also ruled out speculation that there might be problems with Luna Spacecraft One. He said that all preparations are in place, and Indian scientists now only need to determine the most suitable launch time after taking into account various test results and parameters.

2008-02-25International Online Report: The Press Trust of India revealed on the 25th that India's first lunar exploration program, the "Luna Spacecraft 1" launch program, may be carried out in the first week of July this year. At present, the personnel concerned are stepping up tests and making every effort to solve all problems related to the launch program.

A senior Indian scientist involved in the launch plan told reporters on the same day that the scientists aim to complete all test work by the end of June, and strive to carry out the launch work in the first week of July.

In 2003, after China achieved manned spaceflight, the remark that "India must be ahead of China in the moon landing" was often reported in Indian newspapers. The Indian media determined that "if India can achieve a manned landing on the moon in 2020, it will be four years earlier than China, and then it will be able to regain the initiative." The Indian Institute of Space Research (ISRI) has drawn up an ambitious manned space flight and lunar landing program. The plan will be implemented in two steps: the first step, in 2014, will be the launch of a manned spacecraft to send astronauts into space and realize manned spaceflight. The manned spacecraft, weighing 3 tons and carrying 2 astronauts, separated from the rocket 16 minutes after liftoff and entered an orbit around the Earth 400 kilometers from the Earth, with an initial flight time of 1 day. The second step, around 2020, is to send Indian astronauts to the moon and realize the dream of landing on the moon.

India really thought that the satellite was blown to the moon.

To sum up, the author just wants to complain, white elephant...... It's not that we rabbits look down on you...... Is your tech tree too slow?
