i dont think these are the limit...
With $32 billion budget and the actual for procuring machines,u can only buy that much...
As the budget increases,the squadron increases,army number will increase,all other machine numbers increases...
And there is NO Bureaucracy as CS mentioned..
Archie pls don't misguide...
There is only so much u can get from the budget allocated
By the way the figures which i had mentioned earliar are the sanctioned strength of the arm forces , they can only be increased after a go ahead by the MOD, CCS , Parliament
The sanctioned strength were set up in 1988 when indian military was at its peak with airforce operating over 800 fighters , army having over 4500 tanks and 4500 artillery guns and navy having 140 warships and 21 Subs and 2 ACs
If u look at our current force level , it is below the sanctioned strength for Airforce and Navy while army still has over 4000 Tanks and 4000 artillery guns but 50 % of them are old
For further info u can read by previous post
