India not ready for WAR

The latest audit report by Comptroller and Auditor Generalon (CAG) on the armed forces comes up with two stunning disclosures.

1. More than half of India's submarines are not battle-ready.
2. India's radars are too old and too few to provide any credible defence against an air attack.

It went on to state that only 48 per cent of Indian Naval ageing submarines are available for waging war, should India be attacked. The rest are in repair and refit.
Nearly 50% of the of the Indian Navy's submarines are in there last stage of life and nearly 63% of the submmarine fleet would be reddy for phase-out by 2012.

It also stated that the numbers are too few and way below apporved force levels which was apporved 23 years ago.

The air defence radars are in that same state, adding to this submarine-launched Klub land-attack cruise missile, is malfunctioning.


The report also indictment of the lack of hygiene and common sense in India's defence acquisition process
