Some interesting facts about Indian Army

New Delhi: Since independence, the Indian army has only made us proud each passing year. The Indian army has always fascinated major countries and leaders from all around the world. It is recorded that Hitler, one of the greatest dictators ever, expressed his desire to acquire the Gurkha regiment because he believed that he could have acquired the whole of Europe; as it was the only force in the world that could fight and withstand German attack. Here we bring to you some mind-blowing facts about Indian army: Indian Army is the 3rd biggest military contingent in the World next to USA and China. India's indigenous nuclear-capable Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile AGNI-V puts India into the elite club consisting of USA, China, France and Russia. The famous missile series AGNI's first missile AGNI I failed in its first two tests and was made fun off by other countries like USA, UK, Pakistan, etc. It was successful in the third try but USA claimed that the project head A.P.J. Abdul Kalam ( who happened to have visited Long Island, USA for some other work) had learnt the technology from their missiles. Now AGNI is one of the best missile systems in the world. Agni and Prithvi both are Nuclear capable basaltic and are most accurate in the world in their respective categories. Prithvi will always hit within 50m of target coordinates thus making it devastating with even smaller payloads. AGNI-VI (being built) will have a range of 10000 kms which would give India the power to strike in any part of the world barring South America and very small parts of North America. India is also alleged to be secretly developing Surya class missiles based on ISRO's PSLV model. Surya I and Surya II will have ranges around 10,000 and 20,000 Kms. India's cruise missile NIRBHAYA is a cruise nuclear-warhead missile which when blasted, takes the form of a plane and when the target is in nearby range, attacks it with a random procedure thus eliminating the probability of it getting stopped by any anti-missile system as its process is itself not defined. In the hilly terrains, it gives an advantage as the missile goes from the side of the mountains and attacks the target from the rear side. The missile BrahMos-2 is the fastest hypersonic missile in the world traveling at a speed of Mach-7. BrahMos I is already developed with 13 variants. It is already in service of the Army, Navy and Air force. It is one of its kind because generally cruise misiles are sea to sea or sea to land.
