"Ah!! Get your finger off the fucking finger!!!"

Well yes, but I wouldn't hold my breath considering the absolute state of the MoD's procurement process.

Yeah like I said, it's the Indian IVAS. Still, a 4 hour battery doesn't sound too comforting.

It's basically our version of the US military's IVAS headsets that they just came out with, kinda surprised actually that a company's already making progress on this equipment in India. It's basically meant to enhance the coordination and information sharing capabilities on the fly, and enhance...

Because it takes decades to replace afterwards. Short sighted procurements will never end well, regardless of what it's replacing. Frankly it's better the army changed the tender, guess the DRDO didn't learn it's lesson when it tried to design a 5.56x30mm caliber carbine.

I don't care about the rails alone, the point there was to highlight how it can't even apply basic contemporary improvements effectively. But since you want to go over the intricacies. Amogh doesn't have a free floating barrel, and yes, I was taking about the Bolt catch and bolt release system...

It isn't. 5.45x39mm is a terribly weak caliber to begin with, then there's the all-pervasive modularity issues all AKs have. I wouldn't take their "experience" seriously. The Azerbaijaini military won because of it's drones and network centricity as well as proxy/ logistical support from Turkey...

It's just another shitty INSAS with extra steps. Why would any logical institution spend hundreds of millions of dollars on what is basically the INSAS with a shorter barrel and cosmetic changes. Tell me, what exactly does amogh bring to the table? Did they even make it bolt free? It has a...

Ak-203, last thing we need is another cartridge

Pretty high, the reason's the costs are so high is extreme inefficiency and abhorrent quality control combined with nepotism. A corporate structure deals with all of that pretty effectively, they want to make money. This inevitably means making the best use of a budget, demanding results...

The AK, even the FAB ones, are definitely not the most effective platform for C-clamping. The handguard isn't nearly extended far enough to get that muzzle control unlike contemporary AR-15 style rifles not to mention unless you've got optics, the thumb ends up obscuring the sight. The C-clamp...

I wouldn't call that proper, trying to shoot a long distance target with C-clamp reeks of "tacticool" amateur. The C-clamp is a sure fire way of jacking up your deltoids, i'd like to see him keep a rifle stable like that hours into combat. The only real benefit it brings is better target...

Most of the infantry and the officers are taught little about ballistics. Ask them about the cross sectional density of the 7N31 or the muzzle velocity and ballistics coefficient of the Mk262 mod 0 and how they affect the trajectory, accuracy and terminal ballistics on target.

Unlikely. The HK-93 for starters is out of production and decades old. This is probably a Pakistani variant.

Because it would affect ballistics, and most likely cause the front sight to be blown off if you put it at the tip. Even if you put it on the barrel it'll affect accuracy since you're now causing interruptions in the vibrations of the barrel when a round is fired. This is why free floating...

So much for "modernization", what a waste of time and money. What's even more annoying is the fact that we're trying to out-modernize a military spending 250 billion dollars minimum and one that has a far more efficient procurement program being done almost entirely domestic. You don't see the...

A more apt A more apt question would be "what isn't".

Yeah ,no. That's a very bad idea. 7.62x51mm caliber rifles are meant to fullfill the role of battle rifles and are not meant to be used pretty much anywhere except in select theaters and locations where the range and power is needed. Using a 7.62x51mm in the jungle or in urban environments for...
