    Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

    2 negev per squad is a lot of ammo,maybe insas LMG was easy that way.I think it could be 1 LMG per section. Also we dont have a dedicated marksman either then?

    Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

    I have a confusion due to multiple sources saying multiple things...is the carl gustav held at the platoon level or does each squad have carl gustav plus assistant ? Do we actually have a 'platoon weapons squad' or platoon hq doesnt have any heavy weapons?Some say 51 mm mortar?

    Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

    Show me where infantry on infantry engagement happens beyond 200-300 yrds(at which distances AK is as good or even better than AR) except in mountains for which we have SIG.Even then for mountaintop assaults you will need AKs. Beyond 200-300 metres you need magnifier optics for proper shots.Army...

    Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

    AK203 is being severely underestimated by many people here.AK103 is still one of the best general purpose assault weapons out there.AK12 was a failure in ukrainewith several issues,russian troops prefering ak103.AK103 also won the paki rifle competition.This is a better AK103.Unless you have a...

    DMR may not require Bipod,but firing SIG in automatic short bursts would require bipod for sure.

    Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

    Interesting thing is army is issuing bipods to a number of SIGs - a quasi SAW? Lets say 2 bipod mounted SIGs plus a Negev LMG per squad in mountains.(as per data only plains battalions have 2 LMG) that could mean fire section with one Negev supporting assault section divided into 2 fireteams...

    Carbine can be AK-203 or P-72 recon carbine or Galil ace 7.62 x39 carbine.As long as AK-203 and carbine has same ammo.

    Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

    The worst thing we can do is get a 5.56mm carbine in infantry regiments.Carbine has to be 7.62x39 like in russian army.Otherwise we face potentially 3 types of ammo per battalion.At least with 7.62x39 carbine mechanized infantry will have 1 type of ammo throughout.5.56 needs to be phased out or...

    Mechanized and RR will not have SIGs but ak-203.

    Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

    This is because 2 companies worth of sigs have been procured per battalion.Other 2 companies ordered soon.I agree with the CQB argument,but solution is difficult.7.62X39 is planned to be used by RR and mechanized.But 7.62x39 is not a good round against chinese body armour in mountains.The...

    How does our infantry match up to this? I'm concerned about the integral artillery firepower of their heavy combined arms brigades.Armoured 120mm mortars,MBRL,3x nine gun SP artillery batteries per arty battalion.How do our armour and infantry match up to this? @rkhanna ,@Hellfire ,@Angel of...
