India follows opposite model of China on defence transformation

Kochi, Oct 15 (UNI) India adds more men and less technology, quite opposite of the model followed in China on defence transformation, Admiral Arun Prakash (Retd) said here on Tuesday.
Delivering a lecture on 'India’s Security Challenges with a focus on the Indian Ocean Region,' Arun Prakash said India’s claims to ‘rising power’ status will remain hollow, unless it acquires the capability to design and undertake serial production of major weapon systems.
"With 60 per cent of defence budget spent on pay and pensions, there is hardly anything left for modernization or re-equipment. We keep adding more men and less technology quite the opposite of the model followed in China," he pointed out.
