KEY POINTS

• India has approved spending 2.12 trillion rupees ($22 billion) to modernize its defense equipment on Monday.

I remember reading about the 2 day “shutter down” protest. Damn, that’s a lot of damage.

This seems to be on the table.

1. Drone & Counter-Drone Systems:
Substantial investments are dedicated to long-range drone systems, platform based counter-unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS), and integrated surveillance and strike drone networks.

2. Air Defence & Artillery:
Procurement includes very short range air defence systems (VSHORADS) alongside mobile selfpropelled tracked gun systems to enhance the firepower and agility of mechanised units in mountainous regions.

3. High-Altitude Logistics:
The military cleared orders for high mobility vehicles and light multirole utility helicopters to swiftly transport troops, reconnaissance tools, and supplies across the Himalayan terrain.

4. Naval & Air Upgrades:
The package also features Active Offboard Decoy Systems to defend naval ships against antiship missiles, alongside mobile X-band Doppler weather radars to track atmospheric conditions in frontline forward positions.

It also includes the K9 artillery bought from South Korea.
