I think issuing a sidearm (pistols) should be better to tackle useless filthy terrorists should be considered.
BTW lighter arm = extra bullets+sidearm
its kinda reminds me old tactics of WVR in air combat versus modern BVR combat.
notice air forces still practice WVR but they tend to avoid it in real combat due to higher chances of casualties.
Killing from distance is better than allowing them to come near
Sorry to say that sir, but to me Indian Army is still struck in WW2 ear combat practice.
Let's compare with Paki forces which are our main enemies.
Through they have a fraction of budget than IA most of their weapons are more modern than ours.
They use SSG as main sniper ,we use SVDs
Although heavy G3 are more accurate and carries more punch (7.62 ammo means almost sure kill) than Insas with 5.5 ammo
Their artillery are better quality than ours.
Even the Chinese ak 56 they use support a variety of scopes and sites.
I've seen pictures of Jerbe ajab , with soldiers carrying aks with better add on's
And they have almost standardized the sights and torch while we are still using iron sights.
@Kunal Biswas sir do paki terrorists also use laser sights and other gadgets with their aks?
Its possible cause Paki army has standardised it :biggrin2:
