    @Vishal Chandorkar They are participating in a parade. You can't expect them to don the battle fatigue every where and every ocassion. They do have their own battle fatigue when deployed along LAC or in their respective headquarter.

    I agree, but M249 in itself is maintenance heavy system because of this very fact. Have you seen soldiers taking care of INSAS the way they would take care of a M249.

    My bad.... I've posted the video to only show a jam and cocking off of the gun in field. But as I already mentioned, this is because of other factor rather then mechanical failure. In the same situation I would love to see some much sought after rifles.

    Small arms of India

    Do you have any videos or news item of INSAS prior to Kargil conflict? Lets have a look back at its development. Prior to Kargil, the standard issue rifle for IA was 1A1 or what we popularly know as SLR. Interestingly the ever reliable AKM had been introduced in IA by 90's only. Prior to that...

    And the best part is, Excalibur which beat every other foreign competitor is yet to see deployment with regular IA. For last couple of years it is with Paramilitary like Assam Rifles only and mind you, it is on par with AKM as per them. But alas, while we have people foul mouthing INSAS both in...

    Now I do agree with what you say. The point I made before is about standardizing the infantry man. When we use the term standard, IMO it means to equip one and all infantry man with equipment and gears where we could say that he is at Minimal Operational Readiness, irrespective of the place he...

    Where had I propagated anything like protective armour or BPJ are not needed??? Could you kindly point that out??? Even the guy said that it is preferred one when they are out on any ops, but what he pointed out is that one cannot wear it on a full time basis. When armour is concerned you have...

    Actually the guy I am talking about is from the force which is actively engaged in COIN. Moreover I think its the only para military force who have its administrative control under MoD and its the only force in my knowledge, which regularly exchange officers and soldiers with IA on deputation...

    In short, people would not stop comparing IA with US army or any other western forces when it comes to advertisement purpose. Just a couple of days back I'd a small talk with one paramilitary guy who was going home on annual leave. When asked him about some basic requirement and his look into...

    Seems you didn't even bothered to read on what I said. I'd request you to kindly read scripts to know more about. Anyway I'm giving a snippet of that here. Now as you could see, we have different set of need then Russians. If we talk about Tejas itself, it would have to undertake flight in...

    @AbRaj ... Did you read what Kota Harinarayan wrote about Mig-21? You could read about that in Tejas home site. Have you noticed how US and other NATO countries make use of Accuracy international Arctic warfare guns instead of regular HK or COLT. Have you noticed how Galil failed in IA test...

    Small arms of India

    I am very much tempted to use face palm here, but I'd restrain myself from doing that. Anyhow, could you kindly point out any "modern forces" who have to serve in such a diverse climatic or geographical extreme like ours? And could you kindly point out any modern firearm which has performed...
