Is India's army strong and powerful.?

Answer 1

Indian Army statistics Active Troops 1,300,000 Artillery 31,500 Battle Tanks 7580 Aircraft 52 squadrons of helicopters Surface-to-air missiles 90,000 The Indian Army is the world's second largest army in terms of military personnel (after China). It is a completely voluntary service, the military draft having never been imposed in India. The army has rich combat experience in diverse terrains, due to India's diverse geography, and also has a distinguished history of serving in United Nations peacekeeping operations.

Answer 2

Yes, India has the strongest army in the world. It has won 4 wars with Pakistan, 1965,1971, siachen conflict (world's highest battle field) in 1984 and 1999. Indian army, Indian navy and Indian air force were involved in all the conflicts. It gave them huge experience on how to create clever military tactics, to fight in deserts, and on peaks and valleys, to destroy naval ports, in air to air combats with both Beyong visual range and within visual range missiles.

One difference between Indian army and other armies of the world is, Indian army has always fought with an equal adversary. US military were engaged with less powerful nations like Somalia, Vietnam (still Vietnam won), and Iraq. US has the capacity to take on any country because of their military bases all over the world, but an equal adversary is always a threat to the US homeland. Indian army's guerrilla warfare school is world famous. 100s of countries have participated for learning Indian army tactics in guerrilla warfare, including the US.

Eventhough china had an upper hand in 1962 war than India, because of more men and good logistics support, 40 yrs down the line, in 2008 things are lot different with growing technology in India and lack of technology in china due to arms embargo and sanctions by the western countries on china.

PLAAF (the Chinese air force) comprises-

500 - Mig21s, 300- J8s (Mig 21 copy) and 376 - su27s, su30s and J10s, but with Russian engine for J10s. 80 % of PLAAF is made up of Russia origin fighters.

Indian air force on the other hand is made up of indigenous light combat aircraft, powerful Russian fighter su30 with western avionics. India also is working on stealth fighter jet with russia for induction by 2015 to 2020.

India is also a nuclear weapons state with 200 nuclear warheads. Indian navy is also planning induct 3 nuclear submarines by 2010 to 2015. India is also working on indigenous anti-ballistic missiles like the US. It can be inducted after couple years of testing. PAD and AAD anti ballictic missiles have already been tested twice. Indian army also has the fastest cruise missile in the world, BraHmos. (other cruise missiles goes supersonic only in the terminal phase)

Indian army also working on "Network centric warfare" like the US for a synergy between air force, army and the navy. Indian military is also taking part in many joint exercises with the US, UK, Japan, Australia, Russia, South Africa and the list goes on and on. Chinese communist party news papers accepted that Indian army is the most active army in Asia.

India, Russia and the US are the three most powerful militaries in the world, but since it is always the man behind the machine, India's brain power is unmatched, especially with 10,000 yrs of history and India also has the credit for origin of civilization.

Another answer.

No, India does not have the strongest army in the world.

US military were engaged with less powerful nations like Somalia, Vietnam (still Vietnam won), and Iraq. US doesn't have the capability to take on large countries like China, Russia, India, North Korea, Iran simple because it would take alot more work trying to defeat modern countries like that, i mean look at the war with Afghanistan and Iraqi (a 3rd world country that USA can't even defeat in war).

Eventhough China had an upper hand in 1962 war than India, because of more men and good logistics support, 40 yrs down the line. Due to Chinas arms embargo, it had made China reliant on their own technology which gives them a huge boost because they are able to make indigenous technology when needed but India cannot make their own fighter jets or technology because they are not capable because we import most of the technology from other countries like Russia and USA. In a report done by Pentagon in December 2010, it had stated the China has the most active land based missiles in the world which was a threat to USA (See Google).

In the Indo-Pakistan war in 1965, India was handed down a huge defeat by Pakistan and all countries stayed neutral during the war but Iran, Indonesia, Burma and especially China who gave support to Pakistan while countries like USA also stayed neutral, they claimed that Pakistan started the war suggesting new directions in Pakistan that might translate into support for its security concerns. Pakistan the aligned itself with countries like China.

The aftermath of the 1965 war saw a dramatic shift in Pakistan's security environment. Instead of a single alignment with the United States against China and the Soviet Union, Pakistan found itself cut off from United States military support, on increasingly warm terms with China

Mig-21s, J-8s and Su-27, Su-30s and J10A/B/Cs and J-11/B/Cs, but with Russian engine for J10s. There has been pictures surfaced in January of Chinas first indigenous Stealth Aircraft which is 1 meter longer than the F-22 which means its purpose is long range missions.

Indian air force on the other hand is made up of 99% imported technology from USA and Russia. India has been struggling for the past 20 years of perfecting the Indigenous Hal Tejas but it was revealed that the aircraft no longer fitted the purpose of the Air Force. The Hal Tejas has been in testing stage for almost 10 years because of the lack of information their scientist know about these technology.

In 2010, a report done by pentagon suggested Pakistans missiles were far more advanced than Indias with the help from countries like China. They feared that such technology in the wrong hands (Taliban) would start world war 3.

USA, China, Russia are the three most powerful militaries in the world, but since it is always the man behind the machine, their brain power is unmatched.
