The Indian Armed Forces are the 3rd biggets armed forces in the world. They have got 1.325million soldiers, including 1.1million in the armee, 150.000 fighter jet pilots and 53.000 soldiers on see.
1.155 reservists and 1,293,300 paramilitary people belong to the Indian Armed Forces as well as the real soldiers.
The Indian Armed Forces got most of their equipment from Russia. For an example the T90R tank and the Backcha tank are produced in Russia.
This is a T90R tank. In Russia it's called T90MBT tank.
What most people don't know, is that this tank is much stronger than an Abrahams from USA.
Also they have got several ships like carriers or destroyers or even frigates from USA.
The fighter jets come from Russia like the SU-37 or the Mig-31. Also India has got fighter jets from USA and Europe but this jets are only for the carriers.
The first war from India was against Pakistan from 1947-1949. Because of the borders the Chinese-Indian war started 1962 and India lost it. 1965 the second India-Pakistan war started and 1999 the Kargilwar followed.
The two wars between India and Pakistan were complicated because both countries had atomic bombs. They had many atomic bombs.
The first test of India with a nuke was 1974.
The Indian Armed Forces aren't in any war this days. They haven't got a compulsary military service but they have a professional army. The army is suposed to protect the civillians.
The Indian Armed Forces will become more and more important in future I think because they are the 3rd biggest army in the world.
India has really a very strong army... And unfortunately they have also atomic bombs... I think our earth would be a safer planet if we hadn't have these bombs...
