Coupled with the below you have a real game changerThat same inventor had made an older prototype some years back. Its 'guns' can work too! The inventor says that DRDO should use his design to empower the Indian army. I must say that I agree with his idea.

India is ready to move on the border again, and at the same time is playing a trick on China and Nepal?
Recently, New Delhi is ready to move on the border again. From October 14 to 31, India and the United States will hold the annual Army "preparing for War" (Yudh Abhyas) joint military exercise in the Auli region of the Indian state of Northern Arkhand. In the past, India held "preparing for war" in Rajasthan or Northern Akendra, but this exercise was "specially" chosen to be held less than 100 kilometers near the line of actual control of the China-India border.
At the same time, since August 8, Indo-US special forces have also conducted a 21-day "Vajra Prahar" joint combat exercise in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh in the southern Himalayas. The two military exercises are designed to enhance military interoperability between India and the United States, and choose areas close to the border between China and India, while the tactical training targets are directed at China.
In view of the military tensions in eastern China caused by Pelosi's recent visit to Taiwan, India's choice of this time for joint India-US military exercises also seems to remind China that it may face the dilemma of "two-front warfare".
Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, India and the United States have been getting closer and closer on the road of jointly "controlling China." The United States seeks to "print China", while India does what it likes, constantly playing the "China card" to gain strategic leverage for itself in the game with the United States. At the same time, India is "pretending to be a tiger," bringing in the United States and its allies to support its hard-line stance on China.
The illegal crossing of the Indian army in 2020 led to the border standoff between China and India. After the incident broke out, India initially insisted that "China and India have the ability and wisdom to solve each other's problems", rejecting US involvement in the mess in disguise. However, with the intensification of strategic competition between China and the United States, New Delhi has also adjusted its thinking and is no longer shy in the collusion between India and the United States, and its intention to use the United States to overwhelm China has become increasingly apparent.
After the difficulties encountered in encroaching on Chinese territory, India turned to other neighbors to strengthen its control and encroachment on the territory at the border between China, India and third countries. In 2017, India unreasonably opposed China's construction of roads on our territory at the China-India-Bhutan border, citing so-called "security concerns", and illegally crossed into the Chinese side, triggering the Donglang standoff. However, in recent years, India has pursued a style of "what can be occupied" and "should be robbed" in the Karapani region at the junction of China, India and Nepal, which has aroused strong opposition from Nepal.
In May 2019, India challenged the actual control status quo and tried to build an 80km road through these disputed areas to near our Qiangla pass, so Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh attended the project unveiling ceremony in high profile, setting off domestic disputes between India and Nepal. Since then, India in November 2019 "map opening", but also nakedly delineated the disputed area into the Indian territory. Nepal is not to be outdone. In response, Nepal released a new version of the "political Map" in May 2020, which also included the disputed area in Nepal and was approved by the Nepalese Parliament to confirm the new version of the map.
Despite strong opposition from Nepal, India still has its own way. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi reiterated in a speech at a mass rally in North Akandria in December 2021 that the road through the disputed area would continue to be built. What's more, India has recently directly strengthened its military presence in Karapani, built a large number of military facilities and increased military deployment.
The author found pictures of India's massive expansion of military facilities in Kalapani on the Internet, and I believe that Nepalese scholars and media will soon pay attention to this change.
In doing so, India is undoubtedly killing two birds with one stone. On the one hand, the actual military control forced Nepal to accept the reality of being occupied by force by India. On the other hand, the deployment of enhanced military forces is also a military deterrent against China on the other side of the border.
The Nepalese media remain silent about the strengthening of India's military presence in the disputed area, partly due to the pro-India diplomacy of the Deupa government, and still fantasize about "peace". However, China has reason to be highly wary of India's approach.
During the Sino-Indian border war in 1962, India sent a large number of troops into Sikkim under the pretext of protecting Sikkim, and then lingered, eventually laying an ambush for India's annexation of Sikkim. India now has the upper hand in the dispute with Nepal's Karapani because Nepal allowed Indian troops to move in after 1962.
For small countries in South Asia, it is really the so-called "it is easier to invite God than to send away God". By contrast, in 1962, India also spread rumors that China would "invade" Bhutan and offered to send Indian troops to Bhutan to protect it. Bhutan rejected India's "good intentions" and thus maintained its independence and sovereignty to this day.
India's readiness to move on the border is also evident in the construction of border infrastructure.
As the infrastructure in the border areas has a strong military function, it can enhance the delivery capacity and speed of military forces, which will naturally help to strengthen the actual control of the border areas. The Galavan conflict in 2020 is mainly caused by the erosion of our line of control by India's advantage of hijacking the DSBDBO (Durbuk-Shyok-Daulet Beg Oldi) highway.
Since 2017, in India's annual budget, the budget for infrastructure construction such as roads and bridges in the border areas has doubled year by year, obviously showing a posture of competing with China in infrastructure construction. On the other hand, in order to counter the construction of well-off villages on China's border, India also spent a lot of money on the construction of the so-called "dynamic frontier" in the 2022 budget.
Finally, India continues to spread rumors about the border standoff between China and India. In order to maintain the so-called "self-dignity", India, from senior politicians and military generals to media journalists, collectively "wrote and directed" stories about the entire Galavan conflict. From the Indian military initially insisted that China had more casualties than India, to people familiar with the matter confirmed that the number of Chinese casualties was 108. So much so that when the Chinese government announced the casualties in the Galwan conflict, the Indian media and people were very psychologically unbearable and collectively insisted that this was a psychological war between China and India.
What is even more outrageous is that recently, two Indian media figures, Rahul Singh and Shiv Aroor, in their new book "India's Most Fearless 3", sensationally revealed a "fact" of the conflict in the Galavan Valley, especially "telling" the story of an Indian military doctor who risked his death to help Chinese soldiers but was brutally killed by Chinese soldiers. Such wanton falsification of public opinion not only exposes the bottomless line of Indian media personages, but also shows that the anti-China "psychological needs" of Indian media circles have made many people lose their basic discerning ability.
For China, the fight against fake news coming from there is a never ending mission.

False expansionism: annexing sovereign nations, stationing troops illegally for long periods of time, armed intervention in other countries, actively creating border conflicts, but still the world's largest democracy (and arms customer)
True expansionism: no major military operations for over 40 years, but still an aggressive security threat that needs to be contained and warned by uniting many countries in a huge alliance
It does look like India is being pushed/groomed by the U.S. to adopt/buy American advanced weapons systems so that they (INDIANS) can gain false confidence by essentially being used as cannon fodders for U.S. geopolitical game against China.
Look at these 2 most recent Indian Defense procurement plans.
Look at these 2 most recent Indian Defense procurement plans.
I think it’s much simpler. US companies think Indians will buy anything for prestige factor. Boeing and Dassault already convinced them to consider F-18 and Rafale for the carrier when it was designed for MiG-29K. Sanctions might play a role now, but Boeing was already demoing back in 2020. This is simply a backwards tendering process.
5 Reasons Why Chinese Ship At Sri Lanka Port Is A Concern for India
India's concerns have been focused on Hambantota port, which is leased to the Chinese, though operations are handled by Sri Lanka
New Delhi: Amid India's security concerns and some back-and-forth, a Chinese ship finally docked at Sri Lanka's Hambantota port today. Sri Lanka had earlier asked China to postpone the visit. But what do India's worries about the ship stem from?
Here are 5 reasons:
- The ship, Yuang Wang 5, has sensors that can track India's ballistic missiles if they are tested. India tests its missiles at Abdul Kalam Island off the coast of Odisha.
- China, using the ship's high-tech capabilities, will be in a position to gauge the range and accuracy of the Indian missiles, if tested. The ship is scheduled to remain at the port for "replenishment purposes" till August 22. It left China on July 14 and did not enter a single port before Hambantota, sailing with zero replenishment for over a month.
- Yuang Wang 5 may also carry out oceanic surveys that can facilitate submarine operations in the Indian Ocean. In 2021, a Chinese government survey ship — Xiang Yang Hong 03 — was operating in the same region in the Indian Ocean and carrying out a search pattern west of Sumatra.
- India-Lanka ties had come under strain after Colombo gave permission to a Chinese nuclear-powered submarine to dock in one of its ports in 2014. This time, Sri Lanka has said the ship will have to keep its Automatic Identification System (AIS) switched on, and it's is not allowed to carry out scientific research. The Sri Lanka Ports Authority has also said that although a Chinese company is in charge of Hambantota port, the operational issues are handled by it.
- India's concerns have been focused on the Hambantota port, which was leased to China Merchant Port Holdings for 99 years after Sri Lanka was unable to repay loans taken for its development. This led to constant fears of its use for military purposes. China, which is engaged in a border standoff with India, is Sri Lanka's main creditor with investment in infrastructure. India, however, has been Sri Lanka's essential-supply lifeline in its festering economic crisis.
Simulation: If Russian soldiers were Indian, this is what they would look like
I wonder if that solider has already been fired for poking the defense minister with his big azz rifle
A single aircraft is a 'force multipler'?
Also I'm worried this aircraft will crash and burn and kill its occupants. Sri Lanka should be worried about the maintenance history of this aircraft. India: we have bested China by doing one thing ahead of China.
