The estimated value of the deal was around $2.6 billion.Have Indians had enough with the performances of Russian weapons? Why are they selecting this over Pantsir?
>>65116384>>The K30 Biho was originally selected in 2018 after outperforming Russian systems like the Tunguska-M1 and Pantsir in trialsSo it at least locked on targets and maybe even fired a few shots or even missiles.Anyways, I'd like to get a Korean bi ho myself.
>>65116384>104 systemsshouldn't an army as large as India's buy 10x that number?
>>65116407These people willingly jump in front of trains to make funny vids of themselves, it's probably better to keep them away from tracked vehicles.>>65116397>a Korean bi hoWe can all dream, m8.

Jeets
>>65116514Do not redeem the firing solution sir! Do not redeem!
India will grow larger
imagine if the US had any modern ground vehicles to produce and sell
>DEAD practice for picrel
>>65117354>implying F-15 and F-35 weren't shot down by fucking TV guided missiles
>>65116384I hate the fact that the first thing I did on seeing that image was looking for human feces, and the second thing I did was find it.
>>65118788The F15 was shot down by MANPADS and the F35 was only damaged SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
>>65116384Why not K21 with 40mm?
>>65116384>80% indigenizationyea those are gonna be dogshit, sorry WorstKorea, but india is gonna make your product like like shit
>>65116384I wonder how much equipment India, Iran, North Korea and Belarus actually have transferred to Russia. Indian T90s woulnd up being destoyed while used by Russian forces. The Indias have masked arms transfers by sending equipment to Russia for upgrades which winds up in Ukraine. Same for decomissioning T72s and Grads from India. m Kim appears to have sent his entire legacy artilley and heavy mortar reserve there about 40% of his inventory and ammunition, probably because he feels he has magic nukes. Iran probably did the same with a lot of their artillery reserve because they had shaheeds, belarus probably 40% of more of their roster is gone to Russia.India has been playing a double game also supplying artillery ammunition to Ukraine but that just masks the fact that from the start of the invasion and prior they have been involved in it up to their necks.
>>65119444>Indians pretending not to be Indians to use Indian slurs on their oppositionGrim. An entire race that knows they're that reviled.
>>65116384>Be Indian MoD >The K30 Biho outperforms competitors >Waste time trying in vain to develop an indigenous design >Eventually choose the K30 Biho >Decide to change the very systems that made the Biho outperform competitors Do the Indians actually think if they just slap Indian systems on it the performance will remain the same?
>>65121402>Do the Indians actually thinkno
>>65121078>Chink finds out that Pajeets use the same jew-tier shilling tactic as they do
>>65121078jej
When will Indian procurement NOT be a mess?
>>65116384>Pantsir-S1MUnfortunately the Pantsir is superior when it comes to the missiles, which much longer range
