Sniper,
We use their equipment that is all. The Indian army/navy and airforce follow the British military structure and traditions. (There is nothing wrong in sticking to and adopting systems that work).
Many are not aware but the Royal Navy tradition of saluting at the quarter deck (location on the ship where Lord Nelson got killed) was followed in the Indian navy till a 2000/01 when some restructing was done.
But the Army and Air force stick to old systems and links. Most changes in Indian armed forces are based on studies of British and US armed forces.
