That picture is misleading... my first tought was how they figured out 5 guys in that attack helicopter, lol ! The picture is not the helicopter that crashed, only one that will probably crash.

Incompetence is evident in the Indian military and military industrial complex due to the number accidents/failures.

Infamous Indian military events within the realm of nuclear forces
- "an aft hatch on the submarine was left open by mistake while the Arihant was docked in 2017, leading to saltwater flooding the propulsion area, rendering the submarine inoperative for ten months".​
- On 9 March 2022, India accidently fired a BrahMos missile originating from Sirsa, Haryana that crashed into Mian Channu, Khanewal District, Punjab, Pakistan.​
- Manufacturing defect has once against hit Agni series of missile as the first night trial of long-range nuclear-capable ballistic missile Agni-III from a defence base off Odisha coast ended in ‘failure’ on [2019].​

However, we absolutely can not be gleeful about their poor performance. The Indian military is both incompetent and nuclear equipped. Nuclear weapons like anything else have an accident rate. Concern about incompetence and nuclear accidents is a reason in itself to pursue deescalation at Ladakh. I would much prefer to see posturing in the Indian Ocean (e.g. my suggestion in earlier posts for a PLAN carrier to visit Pakistan and compel India to spend up to $20 billion to build a third carrier and equip it with planes) rather than continue the face off at Ladakh. To me the problem with the Ladakh face off compared to Indian Ocean posturing is the higher possibility of things going kinetic leading to a higher nuclear alert status. The Indian military is prone to accidents and their equipment sucks. We must take seriously the possibility of an inadvertent nuclear launch by India.
