Found the news for elbow and knee pads. But AFAIK, software defined radios were for Para, not regular infantry. And the bigger problem here is an upgrade in camouflage pattern. I have yet to see anything official on this. If the Army does not address this issue now, then by 2021, when we...

The blog you quoted used this article as the source: http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/indian-army-rejects-indigenously-made-rifles-for-second-year-in-a-row/story-7eE983qvZemyl8KQ8YgM3L.html I am sure you are aware that Pakistan has more credibility (when it says it won't train terrorists...

Source? Until then, I'll just assume that you are wrong. AFAIK, OFB 7.62X51 is alive and is being developed into a potent weapon with the help of user feedback.

If we are certain of this, then can I buy Punj Loyd shares in anticipation of their JV getting the order?:hmm: On a more serious note, would our top brass be comfortable handing bullpup assault rifles to standard infantry formations. That would not make sense since currently the Infantry uses...

This is one of the coolest and most professional looking plate carrier I have seen an Indian soldier wearing. Hope they make something close to this a standard issue in the Indian Army (with a Bhabha Kavach to go with it :drool: ) Wonder why we never think about developing a modular system like...

Why old Army camouflage? :facepalm:

I am trying to figure out how much vehicle space an infantry battalion will take once embarked onto an Amphibious warfare ship. :confused1: Please help me out if you know the answer to any one of the following questions:- What types and how many vehicles are issued to a standard Infantry...

There is a difference between leading form the front and being foolhardy:- Our officers know that difference. Snipers are no joke mate. There are specific instructions to not salute in the field. This is to ensure that a team leader is not made to be a target. IMHO, morale and attrition are...

If only the commanders get helmets with side rails and extra accessories, it will make them vulnerable to snipers, would it not? The purpose of using the modified salute in the field will be defeated. The different silhouette of the helmet for commander will give away his identity. Can't they...

Abbe I saw part of this while having my dinner today. They were badmouthing the Patka and saying how MKU helmets offer superior ballistic protection. In chutiye reporters ko ye dikhao:- I consider DNA to be a step above other private hindi news channels, but its still disappointing when they...

Yeah. That is what "Rooskie" means.

One question: Why do modern helmets not feature nets? Nets like these:- Instead, they are plain and the silhouette is not broken by tufts entangled in the net (like in above). Is it 'cause of the digital camouflage? But then what about this:- No net despite no digital camo. (Ignore...

I just found out, MKU is a subsidiary of GKG group (Indian Company) and a registered NATO supplier. It supplies gear for infantries all across the world to 100+ countries. :shock: It manufactures the world's lightest helmet @ 1kg. It also manufactures night vision devices, ballistic shields...

You mean only the helmets of commanders will have rails to mount equipment? Btw MKU has a range of helmets catering to all sorts of roles. This one, Mukut, is for airborne troops:- They also have ones for tank crews:- :- It has better protection against frags. Considering that the order is...

1. SF is akin to a scalpel and regular infantry is like a broadsword. One can not replace the other. Both are needed in an optimal ratio. BTW SF dropped behind enemy lines are not self sufficient. They also rely on air support for resupply. So, regular infantry is much easier to supply than an...

Is this a stop-gap measure or a final purchase? Looks like the latter, but that means integrated comms only for commanders and not for the section? Not sure if the entire section needs it though. They will most likely stay within earshot of each other. :confused1: Still, it looks cool. :cool1:
