Indian Army News & Discussions

Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh Sunday said that India wanted friendship with the neighbouring country but Pakistan was behaving differently. He said that post-independence, J&K became a “war theater” but due to the supreme sacrifices made by the soldiers and other security forces, all bids aimed at damaging India's integrity and sovereignty were foiled.

Addressing a function at Jammu regarding Kargil Vijay Diwas, Singh as per news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), said that India has fast emerged as the world’s best democracy and super power. Singh was in Jammu to commemorate the martyrs of Kargil War.

“We want friendship with our neighbor but don’t know why Pakistan is behaving differently. Pakistan’s behavior is totally different,” Singh said. He said that during the Kargil War, Pakistani intruders had sneaked into Indian territory, but when Indian soldiers launched their attack, Pakistani soldiers and intruders had to flee from Indian posts. “Vikram Batra is a great hero of Kargil war. There are hundreds of heroes who laid their lives to protect the country during the Kargil war. I pray my rich tributes to all our martyrs who sacrificed their lives to push the intruder back to Pakistan,” Singh said, .

He said that even though Kargil was a limited war, previous wars were fought. “In all previous wars be that of 1961 or 1975, Pakistan tasted defeat,” Singhs said. Talking about the China-India war of 1962, Singh said that India hasn’t healed the scars left by the 1962 war.

Singh said that today India is emerging as a fastest arms export country under the Prime Minister Narendera Modi’s slogan of ‘made in India, make for the world”

“We are spending 68 per cent of the total defence budget on manufacturing arms within the country,” Singh said

Nope.

Guided Pinaka cleared the user trails recently. 2 regiments worth orders are going to be signed. And a bigger version to replace Smerch is under works.
 
HIMARS is tried and tested in real time war scinario on other hand pinaka never had such experience of war
HIMARS is too costly, production not in control and can be sold to adversaries too by USA.

Pinaka is cheaper, development under our control, production under our control, no fear of sanctions and selling it to someone is under our control.

Waste of money, Pinaka can be developed in this class.
Guided Pinaka , Pinaka MK2, Pinaka ER all are going to be in service very soon.

A Smerch Class heavier rocket is also planned.

Pinaka off course can be developed in this class but it will still take a time maybe few years to make it like HIMARS..... but if we procure HIMARS as a stop gap till the time pinaka is developed we will have huge advantage on border.... we have to accept that our procurement, development and induction process is so slow that would put a tortoise to a shame.... if system like HIMARS is procured then it would give us immediate advantage on lac against China.... we can't wait for decades to develop, then trials and testing and then finally deploying pinaka....
