Combat proven in the cold and high altitude regions during the Kargil conflict in 1999, Pinaka can fire up to 12 missiles/rockets in 44 seconds with a reload time as short as 4 minutes.
India has not only the 4th largest military in the world but also the most advanced weapons. Here is the list of 10 weapons possessed by the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force that are among the best in the world.
Combat proven in the cold and high altitude regions during the Kargil conflict in 1999, Pinaka can fire up to 12 missiles/rockets in 44 seconds with a reload time as short as 4 minutes.
Bhishma is the Indian name for the Russian-made T-90s tanks.
An amalgam of T-80U and T-72B, the T-90S have superior fire control system and mobility.
By far the biggest and the most expensive aircraft carrier in the Indian Navy, this 45,000-kilo sea monster can carry up to 24 MiG-29K fighters and 6 ASW/AEW helicopters.
Often reckoned as world’s only anti-tank missile which has a complete fiberglass structure, NAG weighs 42 kg, and can engage targets at ranges 4–5 km at a flight speed of 230 metres per second using infrared imaging system.
The Indian Air Force has one of the most advanced AWACS in the world. Three in active service, the A-50 Phalcon AWACS consists of Israeli Elta EL/W-2090 radar mounted on a Russian Il-76 aircraft.
Sensing ballistic missile threat from Pakistan and China, Ind launched the BMD Defense system.A ballistic missile is a shot-range missile guided during very brief periods of flight, and can fall almost anywhere since its flight is governed by gravity
Christened as INS Chakra, the real name of this submarine is Nerpa. Chakra is the only Indian ‘nuclear war head’-carrying submarine which can remain underwater for as long as humans want it to.
On 20th April, the Indian Navy launched its latest and by far the most powerful and advanced stealth destroyer ship called the INS Visakhapatnam.
The SU-30MKI sits at the pinnacle of Indian military’s air superiority which, without this fighter jet, depends on the aged 4th-gen fighters. Simply put, a single plane is equivalent to 2 MiG-29 and 2 Jaguar combined.
