Lemontree,

Giving a MANPAD is a good idea, but the issue is where is the manpower for the same.

We have the manpower ceiling and hence all this additional weapon systems for the infantry is becoming a case of robbing Peter to pay Paul.

The actual bayonet strength in the unit is going down with soldiers manning the additional weapon systems.

Colonel,

Thanks
