    INSAS does not have magazine well, so Magazine "seems" to be shaking more as we can see the whole magazine

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    USA is father, mother & son of DI rifles but its giving it up. DI SR 25 replaced by G28. IAR M-416 being inducted as LMG. SCAR replacing ARs in SF. Anyway let's see, how this import will be used.

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    Tonbo has been getting small adhoc orders from Army no major institutional order has been given to them. The video in tweet shows around 150-200 thermal imagers only.

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    I think its very unlikely that TONBO got an order for 56,000 NVDs. But it's good, if that's the case. Can you give source or link of your information? I thought that this order for 56,000 + 12,000 was not even awarded but I will be glad to be proved wrong

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    This are important items but Army will find it difficult to process the purchase quickly. It's only at RFI stage, not even RFP. I think these contracts should also be issued under emergency purchase head.

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    Import of a DI Rifle in 7.62x51 caliber only makes Sense if we use it as DMR. For using as a DMR we need:- Bipod Daytime optics like ECOG Night time optics with thermal imagers, or II NVDs Supersonic Suppressors High Quality accurate ammo (which is not a walk in the park) Magazines, as they...

    Import of SIG without bipod, & optics does not make sense.

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    DI rifles require more lubrication hence attract more dust, grit, & sand in Desert even without firing. Hence delicate cleaning & lubrication each day. This is going to be a problematic rifle for Indian Army

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    DI Rifles are going out even in USA. They replaced DI SR 25 with piston G28 for Sniper. For routine use DI is even more problematic. They are also inducting Piston HK416 as IAR. Have we imported cheap crap for the sake of importing something under pressure from Dalals? DI even with good ammo...

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    Sig manufactures 7.62x51 in both AK and AR derived platforms. It's interesting to see we adopted AR platform rather than long stroke, side bolt handle AR platform. Wonder, what are the benefits.? OFB also has come out with both AK & AR derived 5.56x45 rifles being INSAS CQB Carbine & MCIWS...
