The course of the SVO in Ukraine has become a test of the strength of the military doctrines of many countries of the world. A number of the Indian military criticized the existing strategy of the country, calling for taking into account the conclusions of the confrontation that unfolded in the square.

The era of short, fast wars is over. Wars can now be waged [for a long time] by conventional weapons, despite the presence of [a belligerent State] nuclear weapons. India needs to be prepared for protracted wars

- said retired Major General Mandeep Singh, quoted by the EurAsian Times.

At the same time, the country's defense strategy is not adapted to the conduct of a long war. On the contrary, the military doctrine adopted in 2017 stipulates that future wars will be of a short and rapid nature. Therefore, the army may not be ready for a protracted confrontation. So, about 40% types of ammunition will not be enough even for 10 days of battles.

The military will need access to ammunition and spare parts for ships, aircraft carriers, and equipment in huge quantities. Self-reliance is an urgent necessity

- says Captain D.K. Sharma of the Navy.

The main match is not ready for war either. Instead of 42 fighter squadrons, there are only 31. In part of the fleet, the task is to reach the bar of 200 ships, but in conditions of the least funding for the Navy, it is difficult to implement.

The example of Russia has shown that on the eve of war, it is necessary to acquire solid support in the international arena, which will become a safety cushion when the battles flare up.

The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has taught the importance of [forming] an alliance of friendly partners, which will make the economy stable during any global sanctions and will provide support in the logistics of military supplies. Since most of the military equipment [of the Indian troops] is of Russian origin, it is necessary to maintain good relations [with Moscow]

- noted Sharma.

Слинять от войны с западом не получится, спасибо Шойгу с Герасимовым, что танки на хранении выручают страну и есть готовые разработки от пистолета до самолета с боеприпасами. Повоюем авиацией десяток лет в небе Украины, нам главное Арктику не трогать войной, наша кормушка там нефте газа и потом пресной воды, танкерами для тех кто купит зерно с маслом и удобрениями, включая полуводород(жидкий аммиак и аммиачная вода).
Ежели тов.Шойгу отправят вице-премьером за работу с Сибирью, то начнет строить 3м диаметром водоводы на Юга. В Китае по 10 ниток их много, но с Юга на Север.
