Serious 68% of Indian military equipment "vintage" classification

[Confuseous]

The aerial clash, the first by the South Asian rivals in nearly five decades, was a rare test for the Indian military — and it left observers a bit dumbfounded. While the challenges faced by the India’s armed forces are no secret, its loss of a plane last week to a country whose military is about half the size and receives a quarter of the funding was still telling.
India’s armed forces are in alarming shape.
If intense warfare broke out tomorrow, India could supply its troops with only 10 days of ammunition, according to government estimates. And 68 percent of the army’s equipment is so old, it is officially considered “vintage.”

Sinkieland also has a lot of 'Made in India' drain covers, probably produced back when India was still a British colony.

Let's hope their nuke is vintage too. When they press the button, they end up nuking themselves. Would be a favour to the world.
