In the middle of a conflict with China, India has taken a significant step by authorising the defence forces to enhance their stocking of weapons and ammunition for a 15-day intense war now.
Making use of the extended stocking requirements and the emergency financial powers in the ongoing conflict with China in Eastern Ladakh, the defence forces are expected to spend over Rs 50,000 crore for acquisition of equipment and ammunition from both local and foreign sources.
The authorisation to increase the weapon and ammunition reserves to minimum 15-I levels from the earlier existing 10-day stocking is to prepare the defence forces for a two-front war with both China and Pakistan.
"A number of weapon systems and ammunition are being acquired now under the authorisation of having reserves to fight a 15-day intense war with the enemies. The stocking would now be at 15-I level from the 10 I levels," government sources told ANI.
The authorisation for enhanced stocking for the defence forces was approved some time ago, they said.
As per the authorisation many years ago, the armed forces were supposed to stock for a 40-day intense war but it was then brought down to 10-I level due to issues with the storage of weapons and ammunition as well as the changing nature of warfare.

It is almost impossible to have too much ammunition. As long as the PBR will still float, it’s good.
Bring some thermal underwear!!!
That “Home before Christmas” theme.
Only two times when you have too much ammo: When you are drowning and when you are on fire.
Bring some thermobaric bombs and arty
LOL
Completely Normal.
This is about India
Moving anything up to Ladahk this time of year would be a very arduous and chilly task.
Pabst Blue Ribbon?
Aha! Wait, is that a case of PBR in the back?
Patrol Boat - Riverine.
Nope. Didn’t have beer on patrol. Some people did though. You should try to pop beers open sometime when they’ve been stored in a black painted boat under the sun at that latitude. Probably 130 F or more. An interesting experience.
Will be interesting to see how China does on it’s Western
frontier. It’s playing pretty tough on it’s Eastern
frontier.
Maybe we’ll see just how tough they really are. Or not!
Yes, I agree.
And I do not want to hear Biden saying, “Well, you know, it
was China’s anyway.”
