In terms of craftsmanship, no one can compare with the Indian military industry!India's five super self-developed **, each of which is shocking. There is not a single carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier, the anti-aircraft missile hit rate is "up to" 20%, and the nuclear submarine is blistered!The main battle tank has been studied for more than 40 years!Let's take a look at which five are the best ones.
USS Vikrant.
India has a deep obsession with aircraft carriers, and as the first aircraft carrier of a big country, it must be given a resounding name, so after three days and three nights of heated discussions at the top level, it was finally decided to name it after the Hindi word "Vikrant", which means to defeat anyone who dares to fight with us. Preparations began in 2004, and the Indians discovered that no one in China could design aircraft carriers at all. At this time, they had to invite Italian experts to design a light aircraft carrier with a displacement of 3750,000 tons of Vikrant. India** also immediately allocated Rs 3,000 crore and demanded that it be implemented as soon as possible. In 2009, the Vikrant ushered in its first launch, and the Indians rejoiced throughout the country, and under the attention of countless journalists and celebrities around the world, the order to start the aircraft carrier has been issued three times, but the hull is still unmoving. Later, I found out that the original construction plan was only 30% completed, and the engineers who were so happy had already begun to celebrate, which directly embarrassed the world.
Later, the aircraft carrier was launched three times in succession and failed one after another, until it was finally commissioned in 2022, the most important ** carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier had not yet begun to be deployed, and even the radar system was not equipped, especially the smooth deck of the aircraft carrier, which made people wonder if they could wrestle when they walked on it, let alone the aircraft.
Enemy destroyer nuclear submarine.
In July 2009, India's first domestically produced nuclear submarine "Enemy Destroyer" was completed and launched, becoming the sixth country in the world to have a strategic nuclear submarine. However, in February 2017, the news that such a national weapon was "damaged by blisters" came out. The reason was that the soldier did not close the hatch when he left the cabin. You must know that India built such a nuclear submarine at that time, and the third brother spent $3.9 billion on the construction stage alone in order to build it, and it was only after many delays in launching the test that it came out of the "thousand calls". Such a casual method of self-destruction is rare.
Arjun main battle tank.
Since the 60s of the last century, India has been ambitious to build a ** that surpasses the German Leopard 2 tank, which is the Arjun MK1 main battle tank. This tank can leave a strong mark on the history of the world's tanks, not that it really surpasses the performance of the Leopard 2 tank, but it has the longest development time of any tank. For more than 30 years, India invited German Leopard 2 tank engineers, and with great effort, the whole body parts were not changed, and a few parts that were replaced also had major problems, resulting in the poor operation of the entire tank, especially the replaced barrel, which had many problems with the explosion of the chamber, and even the Indian Army itself disliked it. India is very unwilling, I spent so much money and energy to build a big country, you still dislike it?So under the pressure of **, the army was forced to purchase 124 Arjun tanks.
Akash anti-aircraft missiles.
India's "Akash" missile was approved for development in 1983, and the initial funding was spent 14Rs 200 million, while in 2006 it rose to 111Rs 200 million. After more than 40 test launches, in February 2015, Indians celebrated in New Delhi. The index for assessing missiles is the hit rate, 70 percent is considered excellent, 80 percent is excellent, 90 percent and above is the world-class level, and the hit rate of more than 98 percent is basically the world's top level. Guess what was the hit rate of the Indians' test launch of an Akash anti-aircraft missile?This thing's hit rate is as low as 20%, so it can be said that whether or not you can destroy the enemy is a matter of faith. The Indian Air Force was desperate and finally had to give up this mysterious self-confidence in the research and development of tens of billions of rupees.
LCA Tejas fighter.
In the 80s of the last century, after Pakistan introduced F-16 fighters from the United States, the third brother, as a hostile country, could not sit still, and immediately vowed to build a domestic fighter that fully surpassed the F-16 in performance. The third brother once again embarked on the arduous road of self-research for at least 30 years. However, it is said that it is self-developed, but in fact, India does not have that foundation at all, and most of the parts are purchased from foreign countries, even if they are reassembled according to other people's design ideas, there are still a bunch of problems. I don't know if it's powerful or not, but it was originally scheduled to participate in the Dubai Airshow air show in November 2023, but it was forced to make an emergency landing because of another failure of the onboard electronic system shortly after takeoff, and was finally kicked out of the show list by the organizers, which is simply in the limelight.
Finally, let's talk about itAlthough the performance of India's military industrial strength has not been strong, we cannot ignore it. It is hoped that the Indian military industry will make persistent efforts to continue to pursue the spirit of craftsmanship and entertain everyone.
