How strange is the Indian military industry?
The missiles blow themselves up! Thirty people parachuted and fell to their deaths, thirty-four people! Thousands of fighter planes have been destroyed in 40 years, and 3 billion dollars have been pitted for buying aircraft carriers!
However, even though India's military industry has long become the laughing stock of the world, India is still full of self-confidence and arrogantly declares itself to be the first power in Asia and the third power in the world!
I don't know if it's the courage given by curry, or the confidence given by the water of the Ganges, where does the confidence of the Indian third brother come from? How did you make so many strange things about the military industry?
How strange is India's military industry?
Our neighbor India has always been a magical country, and sometimes I really don't know what the magical Indians have in their heads? Why do you always do some weird things? It can be said that there is only what you can't think of, and there is no Indian GI who can't do it.
For example, in India's military parade, a motorcycle can transport a company of soldiers, and the scene is as shocking as an acrobatic performance.
Indian GIs sit in tanks, and they sit incredible, because they are neither sitting in the tank, nor showing their heads outside, but making a leather sofa and building a pergola to sit on the tank turret, I don't know and think that they are sitting on elephants, I can only say that they will enjoy it, but if they really go to the battlefield, isn't this a proper live target?
Let's talk about India's air force, which I don't know where it comes from, and has always been quite proud.
According to statistics, in just 40 years, India has crashed more than 1,000 planes.
It can be said that the number of these planes destroyed by India is equivalent to the total number of air forces of a large country, and India's current crash record has always ranked first in the world, and no one can break it.
In 2003 alone, 52 fighter planes were crashed, and there was even a record of crashing two planes in one day.
On average, the Indian Air Force crashes a fighter plane almost every week, and at the speed of the Indian crash, I'm afraid the military hasn't bought it as fast as it falls!
The plane crash has long been a major event that shocked the whole country, but for the Indian Air Force, the crash of fighter planes has long been as commonplace as eating and drinking.
As for the reason for the crash of a large number of planes, it is often not that there is any problem with the quality of Indian aircraft themselves, because these Indian fighters rely heavily on imports from abroad, and India is also a typical "stupid person with a lot of money" among military customers, and the fighters are all bought with the best, and the quality is definitely no problem, what MiG-21, Phantom, and Big Dipper, any one of them is a trump card.
The real problem is still the Indian Air Force, which is keen on "explosive modification" of fighter jets.
The Indian Air Force couldn't help but itch its hands when it was an imported fighter that was originally good, so it had to take this fighter and rely on its own ideas to add, subtract, and throw away the parts and components inside, thinking that it was improving the performance of the fighter, but the result was that the fighter "folded its wings in mid-air".
To put it bluntly, it is precisely because the Indian Air Force's independent research and development of fighter technology is too poor, and it has to be tough, and it has to move around because it doesn't understand the internal structure at all, which leads to the tragedy.
The evidence is that the United States found that as long as the fighter planes that passed through Hindustan Aeronautics and were maintained and maintained, they were basically "wiped out." In the face of the C17 transport plane sold to India, the United States said that it would not let India move it by itself, but would personally send people to repair and maintain it, so that the C17 sold to India is still intact.
In addition to the Indian Air Force's love of tossing and turning fighters, the Indian pilots' own skills are not up to standard, which is also a big problem, because the second reason why Indian planes keep falling is the pilot's operational error.
In 1965, India was fighting with Pakistan and the Railway, and as a result, an Indian pilot accidentally blew up his own airport with 50 bombs and killed 40 teammates.
Greedy for small and cheap was pitted
In fact, India's training of pilots is also very watery, basically the pilots have just graduated from aviation school, and they have not yet practiced on advanced training aircraft, and they are not familiar with the operating system at all, so they directly pull them to drive the Mirage and MiG, and the result can be imagined.
To put it bluntly, it is because the Indians lack the spirit of excellence, it is impossible for them to strictly abide by the rules and norms, and they only think about perfunctory things, therefore, the ground staff of Indian airports has become "sloths", and logistics have become "lazy", and even the pilots get on the plane, and their brains are in a state of waking up in a cloud and still in a dream.
An Indian Air Force officer even reported that many airport ground staff were overly addicted to playing with mobile phones and lack of sleep, resulting in incompetence and frequent mistakes:
For example, it doesn't matter if there is an extra screw after repairing the aircraft, just throw it aside and keep it for other aircraft, which is really incredible, because as we all know, the aerospace field is quite meticulous, even if the error of 1mm is enough to be fatal, but India is completely indifferent and has the mentality of making a living, no wonder so many fighters have been reduced to scrap metal!
However, it is precisely because of the frightening high crash rate of India's combat effectiveness that many Indian pilots will often resign without warning for the sake of saving their lives.
According to statistics, in the past ten years, 798 pilots of the Indian Air Force have voluntarily left their jobs, which has led to a shortage of pilots in the Indian Air Force.
In addition to the title of "fighter killer", the paratroopers of the Indian Air Force have also made big jokes.
In 2013, in order to show off its strength as Asia's number one military power, India let ace paratroopers perform parachute jumps in front of the whole world.
As a result, all 30 paratroopers "landed in boxes", the military exercise turned into a collective funeral, and they directly eliminated themselves by their own strength, and also took an innocent onlooker and three medical personnel who came to the rescue, so 30 people parachuted, but 34 people died in the end.
However, even though the Indian Air Force is so wonderful, India is still quite confident and has self-proclaimed the first place in its air force level.
When the US think tank released the ranking of global military powers, India, seeing that it was ranked behind, expressed considerable dissatisfaction with the authenticity of this ranking, believing that it was biased, so it released its own version of the Asian Air Force Strength Ranking, ranking first among itself, which shows that India is still quite confident in its own strength.
Even if the Air Force is put aside, the Indian Navy is actually indescribable, and because of greed, it was cheated by Russia for 300 million, what is going on?
Don't look at India's military industry so strange, but in fact, as early as the fifties of the last century, people had their own aircraft carriers, and we in China did not have the first aircraft carrier until the end of the last century.
And the reason why India was able to get an aircraft carrier so quickly was actually a second-hand aircraft carrier bought from the former suzerain, Britain, at that time, India was very popular in both the European and American camps and the red camp, so the aircraft carrier could be carried out so smoothly.
However, because it is second-hand, the service life is not long, and after the aircraft carrier is decommissioned at the end of the last century, India will have to start looking for aircraft carriers from other countries.
For India, it is obvious that it does not have the brains and technology to build it itself, so it is naturally better to buy it, so it didn't take long for it to fall in love with Russia's Gorshkov aircraft carrier.
Speaking of this Gorshkov aircraft carrier, it is called an ill-fated one, not long after it was built, it was paralyzed by an explosion.
The roof leak happened to rain overnight, and it was too late to repair, the Soviet Union collapsed, and Russia, which was a mess everywhere, had no time to take care of this aircraft carrier, so it could only be put on hold temporarily.
The reason why India took a fancy to this paralyzed aircraft carrier was, to put it bluntly, because Russia only symbolically received one dollar at that time, saying that the aircraft carrier should be given to India as a personal favor and a toast to the friendship between Russia and India.
When India heard this, it was overjoyed, thinking that it had simply picked up a big bargain, and immediately agreed, but it did not know that it had fallen into the trap set by Russia step by step.
Because after the aircraft carrier is bought, it must be transported back to India, right? And if you want to transport it back to the aircraft carrier, you have to repair it first, right?
Blow yourself up
But India does not have the technology to repair aircraft carriers, so naturally it can only be handed over to Russia to repair, but the cost of this maintenance, if you want to let Russia pay for it, it is unreasonable, after all, Russia has given this aircraft carrier to itself, so India also has to show some sincerity, so it waved its hand and agreed to pay for the maintenance costs.
At first, the maintenance cost assessed by Russia was about 900 million US dollars, but India pondered that it would cost 2 billion US dollars to buy a complete second-hand aircraft carrier, so it still made it for itself, so it decisively agreed.
Seeing that India was so easy to deceive, Russia took the opportunity to sell its own Soviet MiG series fighters, and India was dizzy, and agreed to buy $400 million fighters, and then agreed with Russia that the delivery deadline for the Gorshkov was 2008.
But who would have expected that in 2008, as agreed, Russia did not have the slightest intention of delivering the Gorshkov, and India learned that Russia had encountered new problems in the process of repair, and it would take $1.4 billion to solve these problems.
At this time, India was stunned, but Nian Zai had already invested 1.3 billion US dollars, and if he gave up like this, he still gritted his teeth and agreed to Russia's plan, and paid another 1.4 billion US dollars, so that the Gorshkov was successfully delivered.
But who would have thought that India had just driven the Gorshkov all over the world to show off, and four of the eight gas boilers were blown up, and it had to ask for another $300 million to go to Russia for after-sales, so India spent $3 billion before buying a second-hand aircraft carrier with constant failures from Russia, and this price was more than enough to directly buy an aircraft carrier that did not need to be repaired.
However, even if it knows that it has been trapped, India can't do anything to Russia, so it can only eat Coptis chinensis silently and dumbly, and can't say anything about its suffering.
In the eyes of Russia, this India is naturally a proper person who is stupid and has a lot of money, so whenever India comes to buy military industry, it has to find ways to slaughter it.
Of course, it's not just the Gorshkov aircraft carrier that is making jokes.
In 2018, an 11,000-ton oil drilling ship in India exploded due to improper operation by workers, resulting in an explosion in a septic tank containing 200 tons of manure on board, killing not only 16 workers, but also the aircraft carrier INS Vikrant, which was under construction.
I saw a large amount of feces falling directly from the sky, and a special smell of "yellow baptism" was carried out on this aircraft carrier that had not yet been built.
In 2016, the toilet pipe of the Indian aircraft carrier Vikramaditya also suddenly burst, causing a large amount of feces to splatter everywhere, stunning six Indian Navy officers and soldiers responsible for toilet maintenance on the spot, two of whom were directly smoked to death.
It can be said that the Indian Navy's successive fecal accidents are enough to go down in history and become the most bizarre existence of "biological and chemical attacks" in the history of the global navy.
On another occasion, an Indian submarine docked in a port accidentally fired two anti-ship missiles, one of which blew up another submarine docked at its own, and the other exploded because it was stuck in the launch pipe.
This strange accident also made India the first country in the world to use anti-ship missiles to sink a submarine.
It is precisely because it is so unreliable that every time India launches a missile, it always makes other neighboring countries tremble and sweat for it, just because India itself does not know where its missiles are flying.
There is an old stalk among military fans, that is, there are only two missiles in the world that cannot be intercepted, one is China's Qian Xuesen ballistic, and the second is India's Brown ballistic.
Because China's Qian Xuesen's ballistics are determined at the starting point and the end point, but it is uncertain how to fly in the middle, while India's missiles are only determined at the starting point, and as for how they will fly after launch, and the landing end, India itself does not know.
Therefore, as long as India launches a missile, the global air defense system will have to work up 120,000 points, which can be regarded as outrageous.
