New Delhi: The defence forces will be spending over Rs 50,000 crore for acquisition of equipment and ammunition from both local and foreign sources to prepare themselves for a 15-day intense war.
The defence forces are making use of the extended stocking requirements and the emergency financial powers in view of the conflict with China in Eastern Ladakh.
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 were quoted as saying.
