Sir i said things will be used by India in future missile, BTW i head that they have few of the Trishul system ready.Sir, I doubt the tech is outdated not all of it..
Flycatcher Radar is very effective system..
US gov supplying all garbage with a lame friendly tag over FMS ..
M4 supplied by Colt proving utter garbage, Continual firing causing jamming and to make a field repair it had to be striped in firefight ..
Not my words but PARA officers ..
sorry to hear that let the generals learn the hard way then only they will start trusting our indigenous weapons the navy's way is the best wayBut @Kunal Sir... the US military and whoever I talk to about the M4 swear by it. In fact even the israeli's use M4. Is it possible we were just sent a poorly manufactured version of the product... Could it be because we have not done the rigorous cleaning as the M16 family of firearms have always required.
I learnt about another thread on this forum about the beretta MX4 rifles procured by CRPF turned out to be rusty and defective.

All MANPAD's are based on some sort of infrared seeker (including the famed Stinger), so what is so special about MANPAD technology that only few nations have successful MANPAD programs ? Where did Trishul fail exactly ? Was Trishul capable of replacing Igla's in foreseeable future ?.
I am not sure on how seriously the IA takes cleaning of weapons, INSAS was blamed to have similar issues initially as well. Later they find out a little bit of cleaning once in a while goes a long way.US gov supplying all garbage with a lame friendly tag over FMS ..

SCAR vs. M4 vs. HK416 vs. XM8 Dust Tests Released - M4 Loses Badly - THRI am not sure on how seriously the IA takes cleaning of weapons, INSAS was blamed to have similar issues initially as well. Later they find out a little bit of cleaning once in a while goes a long way.
Nice video of how the Colt can be reliable, just comes down to proper usage. Sure its not the most reliable AR out there but IA again shot itself in the foot by going for the Colt. Daniel Defence or FN M-4s would have been better choices at roughly similar prices. HK416 is far more expensive. Even US army issued its latest M-4 contract to Remington

Several rounds of trials have been carried out, so far. In May 2012, trials were held at the Mahajan range, in which the Russians managed to score only a single hit out of four. Again during sea trials, the Russian system managed only a single hit out of two. Rosoboronexport was allowed to repeat the Mahajan trials in winter of 2012, in which it managed all four hits. But its sight failed during high altitude trials, following which they were asked to modify their sight's lens, receiver metrics and software.
Having persisted in the competition, they were invited to try again this summer at the Mahajan range.
Indian evaluators asked them to demonstrate firing of their system in high temperatures at Mahajan by August 15 this year, to demonstrate the functionality of the modified sight. As it turned out, everybody except the Russians showed up.
Instead, Rosoboronexport wrote to the Indian evaluators saying that they did not feel it necessary to conduct another demonstration of their system.
