Chalo our soldiers are getting better rifles. Now they need standardized uniforms and equipments.
I mean having same camouflage on uniform, helmets and vests. You can see soldiers with different camo on their helmet, uniform and vests which doesn't match with each other.We can't have standardized uniform as Indian territory is so vast and it has different types of terrain and environment like desert and mountain or Plain or glacier so for all terrain we need different camo.... I think we can have different camo at regional bases
Looks like Indian frontline army jawans have to do a lot of cleaning of their guns after every 500 rounds firings to maintain reliability besides having extra weights of the gun.......
DI guns have better accuracy and lower weight. The main concern was carrier group misalignment due to external piston arrangement, high recoil during automatic fire and cost concerns.The army wanted a 7.62x51mm having moderate recoil during automatic fire.DI rifles require more lubrication hence attract more dust, grit, & sand in Desert even without firing. Hence delicate cleaning & lubrication each day. This is going to be a problematic rifle for Indian Army
http://soldiersystems.net/2018/07/16/general-staff-requirement-gsr-new-assault-rifle/Takeaways: The AR10-type weapon is inherently accurate especially when compared to other service rifles, but the design leaves it very susceptible to dirt and debris. Adding a piston system to the AR15/10/M4/M16 does not improve the reliability of the system in harsh environments due to design limitations. Considering these trials, it is interesting to ponder weapon testing requirements of the United States and the small arms currently being used and purchased by the Services. The selection approach of the United States may need to be rethought. If you operate in harsh conditions where maintenance and cleaning may not be available, and you absolutely must have a rifle that fires every time you pull the trigger, then the Russian Kalashnikov AK is the answer. Otherwise, keep your weapon clean and don’t let it get dirty.
https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/army-to-acquire-rifles-carbines/article25105913.eceSig Sauer of the U.S. has emerged the lowest bidder with a quote of around $990 for the SIG 716 rifle. Caracal from the UAE made the lowest bid of around $1150 for its CAR 816 carbine.
https://www.financialexpress.com/de...on-get-close-quarter-battle-carbines/1906969/With the deal for the Light Machine Guns (LMG) in place, the Indian Army is now waiting for the close-quarter-battle carbines (CQB). “A decision is expected by later this month. It is now close to fifteen months since the UAE based Caracal Company was declared L1 after extensive trials for a $ 553.33 million. The Oversight Committee has already submitted its report the Ministry of Defence (MoD),” confirmed a senior officer on condition of anonymity.
As per the original DailyO article, the deal would cost around 700 crore ($ 107 million). Stupid mofo journalists.@Unknowncommando 2 The guns should cost $ 107 million @ $ 1150 per gun. Why is this deal for $ 553.33 million @ $5889 per gun?

Depends unit to unit, some commanders allow it but many (traditionalists) do not. For the most part however, I do not see that the avg jawan earns enough to afford such accessories. Moreover, since these items are not for sale in India on open market (as far as I am aware) they have to be ordered from abroad and brought in which might also entail customs difficulties etc.I have a question.the rifles come with rails but have no optics. Now if a soldier wants to buy thermal sights and affix it.can he do so?
Is it allow for soldiers to customise their rifles
Optics will be cross-compatible, the 12'o clock interface on the SIG 716 is a P-rail.Also these SiG's have been ordered with M-Lok system rather than the current standardized Picantinny Rail so even the current stock of optics and accessories in use are not cross-compatible. Only our first class procurement apparatus is capable of such enlightened and visionary purchase decisions, praise be unto them for their benevolence
Optics can be sourced from Tonbo at cheaper prices compared to imported ones.Import of SIG without bipod, & optics does not make sense.
What indian defence procurement makes sense?Import of SIG without bipod, & optics does not make sense.
