    Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

    These upgrades in gear were simply not possible under the Nehru/Ghandi Congress. Thank god Modi actually cares about defending the nation.

    Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

    The troops deserve a better AK, something more along the lines of the newest AK 12 (chambered in 762x39 of course). Far better iron sights and furniture.

    Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

    The Americans are planning to phase out 556 for the larger 6.8 which is between the 556 and 762 rounds. Phasing out the INSAS is the right move. Phasing out 556 altogether for frontline troops is also the right move. The 556 simply isn't powerful enough to take on troops wearing body armor at...

    Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

    Still waiting to see what happens for the carbine tender. I personally see zero reasons to use 556 NATO anymore, even the US is getting ready to phase out this round. AK, SIG 716, and NEGEV 7 are more than enough to meet the needs for frontline soldiers. Althought I would change the following...

    Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

    Here is my simplest idea: Assault rifle: AK 203 762x39 DMR: Sig 716 G2 762x51 GPMG: Negev 7 762x51 Sniper: Gepard Lynx 12.7 Heavy MG: Kord 12.7 You can equip 90%+ of troops with these systems, only 3 calibers required. Its incredible to me this issue...

    Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

    Here's hoping the general staff aren't complete fools, and choose a carbine that takes AK mags and is chambered in 762x39. That way the frontline troops will have the same mags and ammo as the reserve troops. This will lead to a simplified supply chain, logistics, and interoperability. 556x45 is...

    Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

    Anyone else amazed that our troops have so many types of dress uniforms but don't have a modern battle dress uniform (BDUs)? I got an idea, ditch the British idea of multiple dress uniforms, pick ONE for all occasions, and put the money saved into the uniform actually worn in battle. Russias...

    Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

    Any word on a make in India deal for the SIG 716? This is supposed to be the rifle for frontline troops, and India requires way more than 70K. I'm guessing all other troops will get AK 203s. I haven't heard anything about the Caracal, maybe more 203s will be made to fill that requirement.

    Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

    Its been 20 years since Kargil and the massive deficits in equipment identified 20 years ago are only now being filled (Artillery, MMRCA, rifles, BPJS, etc.). This state of affairs is pathetic.

    Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

    I'm hoping for the following: All border troops get the Sig 716 G2 (IA, BSF, ITBP, etc). The rest of the troops like the CRPF, support, etc, should get the AK 203. I personally see no need for 556 carbines. 556 doesn't have the killing power required for Indias needs.
