Based on tried and tested ak47.

Ak 203 and Sig Sauer are the best decision taken to augment infantry firepower. Years of neglect info high ticket items and a sub par INSAS,made infantry less potent. Instead of importing Bulgarian ak better get it manufactured here. With regards to INSAS, let's not again reinvent the wheel...

The fighting troops should be equipped with the best ak203 version. The watered down version for rear troops is ok. But COIN troops should be given the rifle with optics and all chills and thrills. After seeing how Russia reconstructed their army post Georgia conflict 2008 is mind boggling. I...

Exactly urban warfare is the future of any conflict Fallujah or Grozny. But my point is that if you decide to equip an million plus army why not select a single family set of rifles. The aim is to reduce cost whilst offering decent capability. Of course, specialist units will be given...

Some points I would like to discuss; The acquisition of small firearms is getting crazy like IAF process, may be a logistic nightmare at the horizon. a) Assault Rifle : AK 203 plain vanilla model b) Carbine: Caracal c) DMR: Sig Sauer d) LMG: Negev Now why not a single set of family weapons is...

Scrap all this futuristic crap like Beretta X-4 etc. Go for Russian reliable and rugged guns. I believe it is suitable for Indian conditions and the average Infantry.

I really don't get the fuss for unproven design such as Beretta acquired for BSF or even TAR-21 for that matter. Going for cheaper and reliable solutions such as the AK-100series or AK-12 would have been best imho. Last but not least its high time we get rid of these old Bren LMG.

I really don't understand the need for multi-caliber weapons? Buy a good Assault rifle G-36, AK-100 series or HK and then good LMG this whole thing stinks.by going through the list of contenders I bet it will be like a white elephant considering Indian environment see the gimmick they done with...

Of course the idiot who decided to use Dragunov in a sniper role did not know that the rifle was designed as a marksman one to extend the range of a squad to 800m. Do they know which LMG they are going to set for instead of going for high end BS why not consider tried and tested Pecheneg,PKM...

It is used by Russian famed Alfa special forces group. let's hope that acquisition of sniper rifles is not faced with lack of snipers :P Time for US MARINE SCOUT SNIPER program in INDIA training from Russia,US and UK will be much helpful to gain their expertise in this field

Does anyone know the status of the AN-94 rifle

Re: INSAS Rifle, LMG & Carbine Infantry battalion structure. I came across these figures on Bharat Rakshak surprisingly no mention of Heavy Machineguns inspite the fact that OFB produces the NSV Hmg. Note that as per these figures an IA battalion has around 900 troops AUTHORISED EQUIPMENT -...

My wishlist for the Indian Army HMG- Kord Heavy Machinegun don't know about the licensed NSV, perhaps kunal can shed light on its presence in IA LMG- Pecheneg (we can make it use Nato rounds if we have licensed production) Rifle- Czech`s 805 BREN A bit sad that we are not looking for Russian...

@Kunal I don't see the Russian company Izhmash in the list of contenders what happened IA is not interested in Russian firearms? I think we should go for the rifle that has complete family i mean one that has SAW,CARBINE variants..
