 I SAW THE JOB! I SAW THE JOB! I SAW THE JOB! Is idiot's time? Corbin is with me as always is this idiot named Rick. We were so loud. We were. Please follow us on Instagram. Today we'll be reacting to a video called How Much Power Does India Have? I believe this is about the Indian Army and since they kicked some terrorist butt the other day we wanted to do this in honor of them. And we're doing this in the midst of everything going on. In fact, at the time of our filming this Commander Abenedan is still in Pakistani custody and we know tensions are very high. We know you guys living in certain parts. You're on red alerts with your transit system and stuff. And I know that there's stuff that's been stated by ISIS about encouraging terrorists to do their stuff. So we're paying really close attention to that and thank you for sending us messages. And we want you to know we are really careful about we don't talk about stuff politics related. We don't view this as a political thing. This is a humanitarian thing. Terrorists aren't politicians. They're not even humans. They are people who, and I say people loosely, they're evil things that do cowardly acts and any nation that gets impacted by them and then has to retaliate, you get our complete support, especially you guys that we've grown to love so much. And also, thank you to all of you who are watching who should be studying. Yeah, you have exams, but you are watching this instead. Please go study. Study and come back. This will always be here. Your exams and your interviews won't. But thank you so much. Here we go. Yeah. I'm glad it was said there. Oh, we've watched another video from this same guy. I'll link it right here. He'll link it this time. Having the second largest population in the world with a total of over 1.3 billion people, India also has the third largest military in the world in terms of active frontline personnel behind China and the United States. But in terms of total military power, they come at number four on the world stage, following China, Russia, and the United States. Welcome back to another episode of FTD Facts Guys. My name is Leroy Kenton and now we're diving into how much power does India actually have? If you missed our first episode in this series about how much power Russia has, you may want to check that out. The link to that is down below. Now before we continue this video, I just have to give a huge shout out and tons of credit to Instagram user and India underscore n underscore sing underscore oh seven. He sent me a ton of accurate information about India's military, their power and just facts about India in general. So thank you so much. He's the official co-producer of this episode. In terms of available manpower, India has 616 million people. They have 1,325,000 active frontline personnel as well as 2,143,000 active reserve personnel. Also, do you know that India's army is the world's largest standing voluntary army? But to support the soldiers on the floor, they got to have amazing land systems. India has a total of 4,426 tanks. The number of armored vehicles is 6,704 as well as they have 292 multiple launch rocket systems on the ground. Now moving up way up there into the sky, the total number of aircrafts in his military is 2,102. Their fighters and interceptors total at 676. They got 809 fixed wing attack aircrafts ready to strike as well as 666 helicopters. 666, hope that's not a sign of bad luck for them. They have only 16. Now coming back down into the waters now and to talk about their navy, India's total naval strength is at 295. That includes 3 aircraft carriers, 11 destroyers, 15 submarines, 23 corps ships, 14 frigates, 139 coastal defense crafts, and their mine warfare is at 6. Now in terms of India's finances that has to fund all of their military, well their total defense budget stands at $53.5 billion. India currently is going through a huge military expansion and India's defense minister says that India will need $233 billion. That's all to meet its arms and equipment requirements in 11 years. That number is calculated off of the long-term integrated perspective plan known as the LTIPP. See, India's not afraid to spend that money and the budget just keeps on climbing and this next fact is due to a lot of the budget that India is putting into their military. In late 2016, India had actually completed its nuclear triad by adding a strategic nuclear submarine known as the INS Arnhant into its military. India has now become one of the only countries in the world to complete the nuclear triad. Now if you're not familiar with that term, nuclear triad basically refers to a country's ability to launch nuclear warheads from the land, from the sky, and from the sea. Now this is very crucial to India's second strike capability because India is dead set on having a no first use policy when it comes to nuclear attacks. And basically second strike capability is a country's ability to strut back with nuclear weapons when they have first been hit with a nuclear attack. Since India is independent, they have participated in several wars including four major wars with Pakistan and one with China and through fights like this India has gained a ton of combat experience. India's military has experienced a fight in pretty much every type of terrain that is there because in India their terrain range from desert, high mountains, deltas, plateaus, valleys, tropical forests, their combat personnel do regular training and exercises in these various types of terrain. So they know how to handle themselves if they gotta go up into the mountains, they know how to operate when it gets cold and that gives them a great advantage when it comes to battle. Now although India is not exactly part of any major military alliance, they do however have close military relationships with other major powers in the world and those countries include Russia, Israel, Afghanistan, France, Bhutan, Bangladesh and the United States. Now although India's military towers in size compared to others, they do have their downfalls and probably one of the most major flaws and yet Pakistanis are gonna love this. India has focused on military force, however they haven't centered their focus on military power and also the difference. Basically military force is acquiring any sort of weaponry, personnel, all of that stuff but in terms of military power, India's defense services have very little understanding of how to use their own nuclear weapons. And one thing I wanna point out is that even before Narendra Modi, the current prime minister of India came into power in the year 2014, there's a theme of make in India that was being pushed through the country. Of course now Narendra Modi's team is enforcing this and he's hoping that by the year 2020, 70% of India's military weapons will be made in-house. Now this is because a massive portion of Indian military weapons are not actually made in India. It's kind of ironic because I thought everything was made in India or China. So yeah, that's the big thing. India imports a lot of their weapons from other major countries. So they do lack that central core of military power because if anything happens and they gotta cut ties with some of these countries that imports weapons, India will be left hanging. There's also been several attacks on Indian military bases in the past several years that should have really been avoided or at least minimized but these downfalls happen because of the China command as well as how intelligence inputs were responded to. But in order to improve these holes in India's defense there are some long term plans that have been established including smart fencing for military installations better equipment for their forces as well as developing a specialized force to defend their bases. Now as the country of India continues to grow in population dramatically every single year millions of dollars are continually spent on military expansion as well as India's initiatives to have their weapons made in-house but in the long term it will serve as a benefit for the country although they will have to spend more on their own technology and development but India doesn't look like they're scared to spend money when it comes to military expansion so it's how big they're growing the next 10-20 years. That concludes this episode on India's military power and don't miss our first episode on Russia's military power A lot of you guys loved that one so also let me know down below what other country do you want us to document their military power and we'll definitely work on a video as soon as possible I wish we had billions of dollars in the FTD FACTS budget we'll be producing so many videos Well since we are talking about budget we have set up a Patreon- Hey, shut up. Yeah, we don't care about that. So yeah, that was cool. Please let us know how much of it was accurate. We're not just going to take his word for it. I do know that India is now the second largest army in the world. They've beat I think the United States. Correct. They're bigger than us. They're behind China. Yeah, they're behind China. I take exception to something he said. I can tell you that. He said that there have been some attacks on them and they weren't prepared to properly defend themselves. It's kind of hard to defend yourself against a coward who has explosives trapped themselves in their car and has to drive it into your bus. What was he talking about? I don't know all the different attacks. Agreed. But when it comes to a terrorist attack Yeah, it's hard to predict. Yeah, because terrorists do really great things like use kids. Yeah. So it has holes. Yeah, but I do know that India has the... What was it? What did you use it? And you call me old? Clearly it wasn't very important. The video itself was cool. I do love learning about different militaries and their power and India has crazy big power. And they're very proud of, and I think this is something to be proud of, is that they have never instigated a fight. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. That's what I was going to say. They've never actually been the first one to attack, which is apparently a rule they have, which they will never be the first... It used to be that way for the United States of America. It used to be. Yeah. We used to be a good country. It used to be. I think that changed when we went to Vietnam. But yeah, it was really cool. Please let us know if there's other military videos. Yeah. We should watch. We'd love to learn more about it. Especially anything with training like... I'm a big Navy SEAL fan here in the U.S. I've read lots of books about Navy SEALs and had actually incorporated some Navy SEAL stuff in my own personal physical fitness because I love special operators so much. If you've got behind the scenes stuff, we could watch to celebrate that is public knowledge. We would love that. Yeah, we did a reaction the other day to some India training. It was like a 36-hour stress. Yeah, stress testing that happens for special ops. Yeah, it was like a 20-minute video. It got blocked. Blocked. We couldn't even put it up on Patreon. No. So you'll never see that. Sorry. It was really cool. It was awesome. We loved it. If you have more videos like that, people will let us use their content. Please let us know.
