    The Red Army entered the war in a state of chaos. Stalin’s purges had eliminated the professional officers before the war, then German victories wiped out the entire prewar army within months. The Red Army desperately rebuilt its strength with barely-trained conscripts.

  • China's Military Modernisation: Recent Trends
    JULY 2020 ISSUE NO. 381 China's Military Modernisation: Recent Trends KARTIK BOMMAKANTI ANANT SINGH MANN ABSTRACT Since the assumption of Xi Jinping to the post of General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in 2013, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has undergone numerous changes, both in its modernisation and organisation, that are meant to ensure that the PLA forces will be battle-ready. The modernisation aims for the PLA to acquire the latest technology and logistics for quick and decisive victories in any theatre of battle. This brief examines these institutional changes in China's military, which have also resulted in the PLA firmly coming under the control of the CPC, ensuring that the loyalty of the PLA is always kept under check.

  • Shared with the DRDO Its Notion of What Design Features and Performance It Would Like
    Occasional Paper ISSUE NO. 324 JULY 2021 © 2021 Observer Research Foundation. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced, copied, archived, retained or transmitted through print, speech or electronic media without prior written approval from ORF. Light Tanks: A Missing Priority for the Indian Army Kartik Bommakanti Abstract The Indian Army’s (IA) difficulties with regard to the acquisition of light tanks are as much self-inflicted as they are a product of fiscal constraints. The Army has exerted only half-hearted efforts in developing its light-armoured capabilities—inconsistent with current Army doctrine and in disregard of history. Indeed, the IA has used light armour in high-altitude operations in the past. This paper argues that the IA is hobbled by an infantry-oriented mindset that does not allow for other areas of force development such as a light-tank capability. Attribution: Kartik Bommakanti, “Light Tanks: A Missing Priority for the Indian Army,” ORF Occasional Paper No. 324, July 2021, Observer Research Foundation. ndia remains locked in boundary tensions with the People’s Republic of China (PRC), and although these crises have momentarily abated, India would need to seriously address the gaps in its ground armour against the PRC. The Indian Army (IA) has been historically biased in favour of medium- and Iheavyweight tanks, and there is an absence of a significant or at least a consequential light-tank component in its armoured corps. The IA’s predilection for medium and heavy tanks is largely due to the service’s preoccupation with India’s foe on its western border—i.e., Pakistan.

  • FM 17-25 Assault Gun Section and Platoon
    FM 17-25 Assault Gun Section and Platoon Separate from tanks and tank destroyers are the as- sault guns. Some critical design and mission features make assault guns distinct: 1. Assault guns, though they are modified tanks, carry guns of larger caliber than matching tanks. These guns can be used in direct or indirect fire as the mission demands, while tanks generally engage point targets. Because the main armament installed in an assault gun is usually a howitzer system, its velocity and maximum effective range in direct fire are less than those used in comparable tanks: that is, a 75 or 76mm tank main gun has a high muzzle velocity that allows their kinetic energy (shot) rounds to penetrate most enemy frontal armor. Because the 105 in an M4 assault gun has a lower muzzle velocity, a shot round is not practical. An assault gun may engage an enemy tank, but instead of an AT round it uses a HEAT (high explosive antitank) round that can penetrate steel ar- mor at much lower velocities. 2. Assault guns are quite different from tank de- stroyers; a TD is designed to provide higher muzzle velocity and larger caliber than a comparable tank, but cannot provide the kind of HE direct or indirect fire the assault gun can deliver. (Why not just put a large caliber gun in the tank in the first place and for- get about TD’s? Answer: the standard M4 tank was designed to carry a 75mm main gun, and the turret is not suitable for larger cannons without basic modifi- cations: the recoil travel would require more room, which means a larger turret “bustle”, and a much longer tube length would unbalance the weight on the bearing ring on which the turret rotates, requiring a counterweight on the back of the bustle.
