All the worthy military experts in this forum have not taken up the question I asked about a week, that is ….. Has the first AK203 rifle come out of the Indian factory at Amethi. Some round about answers were their but not with enough conviction of yes or no. I am guessing that no AK203 has...

Give us a shout when the first batch of Indian made 203 comes out of the production line. Until then, it is all fun and sweet talk.

No rifle is perfect. The American M-16 went thru its evolution from 1956 till about 1975. It jammed and several modifications like plunger to clear the jam were invented but did not work. It was development work after Vietnam war that improved it. Same or similar story for AK series of rifle...

Not sure whether this is a fake news or real one. Many times before similar news items have been published with zero reliability.

‘To salvage the deal, UAE has to sweeten it including financial and political changes after its reversal of policy on Kashmir at the OIC meet at Pakistani behest. It can repudiate the OIC stand on Kashmir.

Makes sense.....

As WolfPack86 says above the key hitch is “Make in India initiative”. That is delaying the induction of key personal weapon in the Indian Army. Call it a bureaucratic mess or political policy indecision, it is already many years delay in the process.

i will post the reference when i find it, it is a year old , but i do not believe your The Print reference. it is anti government Luytenite and unreliable. Again if both guns are priced the same then no need to order 203.

Published reports earlier said that AK-203 is priced under $500 and if you upgrade to the same level as Russian Special forces then price jumps up $400 to $500 for a telescope, pointer light, muzzle break and possible under barrel launcher. The only thing great about Sig rifle is that it is...

My guess is that 7.62x51 rifle selection by the Army for front line soldiers on LOC is most likely to put the Pakistani posts and their movements within the rifle range. The Sig rifle is effective to 400 to 500 yards which INSAS and AK type rifle were not able to reach. The whole idea is also...

UAE built and German designed CQB is better and $1100 is better in every respect.

When all these rifles have been dumped by the Army, then why are we talking about them.

It is DRDO justification for. Shitty job.

Nest battle with China is going to be at Sea. The rifles will be in storage then.

Wasting time with your posts of trying to cancel Sig Sayer and CarAcal Rifle. Also may I aLso tell you that Ak-12 is smaller caliber rifle with 5,45x39 round and Ak-15 is outer look modified Ak-103 rifle. Furniture and butt stock is good for looks. The under barrel grenade launcher will be a...

Ak103 is not outdated. It is much more reliable than most guns offered to India by Western countries including pricing. Indian Army extensibly uses Ak47 in terror operation and police and BSF swears by it, hence they would love the newer Ak103. Indian Army brass are not stupid, but I do not...

Disagree with your nonsense of Modi Bashing. Ak103 is a preferred weapon on the army’s selection process after first tier of full NATO battle rifle selection of Sig Sayer 7.72x51.

No comparative trials. It is a delay tactic.

Nobody said that Ghatak or Ic will be used after the foreign purchase of rifles is completed. The persons or even Army generals saying the same have either retired or shunted out of decision making process. The key at the OFB rifle factories is quality and metallurgy. This problem is overcome by...

These newer rifles from Russia have exact decades old AK-47 internal mechanism. Furniture is changed here and there. AK-103 is well tried and tested by them and others. Sometime modifications done to old and well tried out model do not work hence better to stick with well tried out model. if the...
