    For any armenians watching this, just know that Indian cavalry on horseback rode straight into ottoman machinegun fire and broke them at Haifa over a hundred years ago.
    Just remind this to any azeri who thinks that he can go to war with armenia on the promise of support from an ottoman wannabe.
    India knows very well the difference between a mere land dispute and attempts to intimidate a people using faith as a factor. We have seen it for ages in our part of the world.

    Best Mountain warfare troops are Indian, atleast that is the rating of USA Mountain warfare report. FYI India also has a permanent presence in a active war zone in Siachen Glaciers for last 40 years, and has been able to hold and repulse many attacks over the years, at a altitude above 21000 feet where temp goes to below -70 degree centigrade. Best to train at HAWS in India, USA and Russia send troops regularly to train too.

India being the zenith ) localisation of small weapons , heavy emphasis on drones , manned platforms , also start Cyber warfare against your enemy before actual war

    This is what Armenia needs wrt India-
    1- Increasing military exercises with India specially high altitude warfare.
    2- Pralay ballastic missiles.
    3- Loitering drones like Naga astra. As it was not turkey byrakhter thatade the difference but israeli loitering drones.
    4- Upgrading SU30 and integration of missiles like Astra MK3 based on solid fuel ducted ramjet engine, Brahmos Air to ground supersonic cruise missile, Rudram Anti radiation missiles , Gaurav bombs , SAAW ( Smart anti airfield weapon) etc
    5- Anti drone measures like Durga for jamming and laser kill of drones .
    6 Upgradation of tanks with new zorawar tanks.
    7 Mine laying vehicle
    8 Most important of all ATGMs and MPADs

    10:30 , Yes, in my Country India Media is very loud and even the Social Media too because of so much Competition 😅
    Everybody wants to be the person to break a news and then 100 other channels post the same thing, and there's a high demand for such political defence content , so they capitalize on it ( not keeping secrecy under consideration )
    But i think Armenian Army should add a secrecy clause in defence procurement if you really want it.
    But there's also another problem. Our country India is overly democratic. If a member of parliament requests or orders an inquiry then the Armed forces are subordinate and they may probably have to disclose it like always
    And some of our parliament members are paid Agents of China and USA unfortunately so maintaining secrecy becomes a huge issue.
    Nevertheless it may be possible, if Armenian Armed forces requests the Secrecy Clause

    En tant que Français je pense qu'il y a d'énormes opportunités stratégique, économique entre la France l'Inde et l'Arménie et que la coopération est déjà en marche. Heureux que la France collabore de plus en plus avec l'Arménie dans le domaine militaire mais j'espère aussi que la France va commencer a investir dans l'économie Arménienne. Pour l'achat de chars pour l'Arménie a mon avis ce serait une énorme erreur très couteuse... L'Arménie a besoin d'une armée mobile et une puissance de feu précise et le moins cher possible, les chars sont des jouets hors de portée pour l'Arménie. FRAM

    From what we see in Ukraine how modern warfare is progressing, buying expensive tanks would be as sensible as buying SU-30Ms without missiles.
    Armenia would be better served focussing on land-based and air drones (preferably home built), space-based surveillance, electronic warfare (including AI-driven decision support systems) and anti-vehicle and anti-aircraft/drone systems. Armenia also needs to expand its procurements from other states like Greece and the USA, as this helps to build bridges, particularly for information sharing and political support.
    Regarding India, this emerging superpower should be encouraged to set up a base in the Southern Provinces to protect its vital trade route via Iran and Armenia, preferably Vayots Dzor as Syunik already has a defence focus).

  • @AryanRaj-ib5oi
    @AryanRaj-ib5oi 29 днів тому +2

    25:31 That is not correct. The Majority of Indian Weapons Exports to Armenia are developed and manufactured by government-owned public sector companies, directly under the MoD/Government of India. Pinaka Multi-Barrel Rocket Launchers, Akash Air Defence System, Swathi Weapon Locating Radars, Hindustan-228 Surveillance Aircraft (Unconfirmed), and advanced Anti Tank Guided Missiles are some pretty sophisticated 'big-ticket' weapon systems with DIRECT Govt. of India involvement. Indian Private sector also has had a big role - ATAGS Towed Artillery (developed by DRDO [govt.] but manufactured by a private firm), MArG-155 Self-Propelled Howitzers, Zen Anti-Drone CUAS System (with Hard-Kill Capability), Bullet Proof Vests, Night Vision Goggles, Small Arms and Ammunition across the board. So BOTH the Government of India and the Indian Private Sector have been supplying weapons to Armenia. It's not just the Private Companies that are interested/pushing on without Govt. support or involvement. And the comparatively 'big' weapon systems are being exported by the Govt. not Private Companies. It's a wrong assumption that it's the companies and not the Govt/ the advertising is only to benefit the private companies. The world is simply taking note. A lot of other big stuff is said to be under discussion, like the Su-30 (Super Sukhoi) Upgrade, new and Advanced Weapons Package for Su-30 and the Pralay Tactical Ballistic Missile. The Govt. of India also recently rejected Azerbaijan's request through a third country to buy Indian Weapons in large numbers in exchange for stopping military exports and support to Armenia. India and Armenia are also working on expanding Armenia's defence capabilities (Indigenous capability development) not just Imports. The cooperation is also active in numerous fields like science/research, agriculture and diplomatic capacity building. Bharat-Armenia ties are on an upward trajectory of a Multi-Faceted Relationship. Love from India.

      @@karinegregorian937 dear Karine, yes I agree that we are all Armenians, regardless of the country we live in. However, it is unfair to compare those Armenians who chose to stay and face the struggle of building our state with those who left or were born in another country and are still there. Let’s compare for example the host of this show who immigrated to Armenia when others were trying to escape, to my friend who just jumped over the border into the US and talks down about everything in Armenia just to justify his decision. They both call themselves Armenians, but who is more worthy? Diaspora is filled with fresh and old gen immigrants of Armenian origin but most of them are lost cause when it comes to Armenian statehood and national security. Yes they can contribute to culture and celebrate, but that’s about it, just part time Armenians.
      In other words it does matter where you live, it matters the most actually. One can not care and participate in the welfare of their country if they choose to live in another country. Even if you desire to become that millionaire and return to Armenia to make grand things, like it’s a charity place. No, Armenia is more than that, and those who live there, create there and see the future of their children there, SERVE in Armenia, they are different. I find it hard to say that they are the real Armenians, but it’s fair to say that they are the “full time” Armenians.
      Armenia is not a country to cry for or pity, and send donations or actively engage in times of crisis. The diaspora does not understand this and that’s one of the reasons why we become distant.
      Most people don’t like to hear /read this because it changes so much in their perspective, and that’s a difficult but honest thing to face for anyone. God bless you and all our Armenians.
