An answer to this-perhaps look up the corporate management of HKéSigSauer and see if they hail from the Ganges.-explains itself.

Because that truck is just a cross-country truck without adaptation to mouning the gun. See the red line, that is the top of the chassis. It is straight and flat. The gun (axis of the rotation mount) is mounted above it. The gun is so far from the ground the they need a tall ladder for soldiers in the video. That also demands a much longer arm for the loader to lift the shell from the ground. The longer the arm, the weaker (relative to actuator) and susceptible to vibration it is.
The mount is so high that in case of battle damage of the loader, soliders have to carry the shell and walk the ladder then lift the shell over shoulder to load. I don't think the Indian army would accept such product.

I have to call this thing closer to the work a pickup-truck mounted machine gun than something for a serious army.

compared to SH-15, see how low the mount is. It can be operated manually when the autoloader is damaged in battle. Worth to note, the Chinese truck's suspension is adjustable to further lower the whole chassis in firing position. That is something the Indian can not do yet.

In fairness to the Indians, the layout and breech height of the MGS don't seem much different from those of the CAESAR 8x8 variant (photos below).

Number of Rafales shot down: 4.

Number of Tejas shot down: 0.

Tejas superior performance to Rafale during Sindoor.

Losing six top of the line combat aircraft is the same as a pencil breaking in exam now ladies and gentlemen…

He then went on to say something that appeared to be an admission of the claim that India had indeed incurred some losses. “The result matters in the outcome of any examination. If a child scores good marks in an exam, then for us, those marks should matter. We should not focus on the fact that their pencil broke or their pen got lost during the exam. Ultimately, the result matters, and the result is that during Operation Sindoor, our armed forces fully achieved the objectives they had set,” he said.”

He is both right and wrong. They might have reached their bombing objectives but the whole episode also showed how much weaker the Indian Air Force has become vs the Pakistanian one.

The whole thing could have been avoided by just asking for a formal investigation on the terrorist attack to be made. Instead their own hubris led the Indians to this by them treating Pakistan as if it was some sort of pushover.

Idk if people would get this,
But in old RTS games like lets say CnC generals, there was a supersonic US air bomber Aurora, its whole thing was it was speeed go bomb the target but would get 50% speed penalty on the way back and would almost always get destroyed.
In this case the bombing target were civil homes, 2 mosques, a homeless shelter etc etc

India wants full tech transfer or the know how to make these things. Of course the US doesn't want to give out their IP. US never transfer new tech with any countries unless its a few generation old.

India should just buy a few, then take it apart and reverse engineer it.

Big assumption they can reverse engineer.

The Pratt & Whitney civilian turbofans like the PW1100G are based on the F135 engine core. It should be pretty easy to get such an engine, their airline companies likely already use it, and break it apart.

They are not able to dismantle a broken down AH-64 for transport and make it fly again...how in the world they would be able to do it with a fith generation fighter?

That's the thing with reverse engineering. China does it so it's easy right?

Wrong. At the core of it technology is just based off simple rules and equations we learn in primary and secondary school. None of it is hidden or copyrighted

Yet how many people can make use of this blessed knowledge? You have people saying why do we need to learn what calculus is since we will never use it after school?

On the surface reverse engineering seems simple. In reality there's a reason why only a few countries can actually do it.
