if there were no himalayas, there would be no monsoon. if there were no monsoons and glacier fed rivers, there would be no population mass. rest of the consequences are upto one's imagination.

should find out if dubey ji was with the camera crew ? :troll:

look into this once, find out if such a proposal of manufacturing AK locally was ever made in that period.

as they say hindsight is always twenty twenty. from an equipment point of view, moving from SLR to AK/vz happened during that period for COIN, which is a big deal in itself. the pace and intensity of 90's was far higher than what's happening now a days, those years were spent adapting tactics...

for a gun design to be evolve locally, it has to be subject to real world testing. for militaries there is no better real world testing than a war. in other words, military equipment evolve faster when there are constant wars, because of the feedback loop. if one is relying on 30-40 year old...

if procurement of BPJs is taken up for the entire force now, they will end up buying this. this is the approved GSQR 1438, which is result of process that started in 2009.

Take a break...

moderate your language.

atleast they have come around to the idea that they can also participate in market economics, instead of hiding behind a single customer.

in this discussion, we are using equipment that have already reached infantry as smell test. at best we can stretch it to, equipment already ordered infantry-wide and deliveries are scheduled. not taking developmental and small quantity procurement pipelines for this one.

if we take 2003 to 2023. - general service vehicles and their engines have improved a lot. - transition from 7.62x51 to 5.56 , SLRs have reduced quite a bit. - comms equipment - availability of spares - road network in operational areas - indigenisation of ammunition like RCL rounds. -...

yes, MP9s are showing up more what they used to be 10 years ago. 16000 NGEV LMG would suffice for entire infantry?

wider options available for C.O/ quartermaster to procure if and when required, after private companies started manufacturing them.

aren't these are being seen in specific theatres in north and east? haven't started showing up in regimental exercises in large numbers. helmets and BPJ order number is around 2 lakh each so far i think.

10 years is a reasonable time span for a reality check. what improved for IA infantry in terms of equipment since 2013 to 2023? keep it to infantry wide changes, part of the standard kit all over the country, not theatre specific improvements and acquisitions, . leave out equipment in trails...

maybe this is for spotting movement and initiate fire from farthest distance possible from a post at night when required. these are not the only NVG they are buying, this is one form factor.

5th extension for bid submission on 29,762 for NIGHT SIGHT (IMAGE INTENSIFIER (II)) FOR ASSAULT RIFLES now it's may 23. https://indianarmy.nic.in/writereaddata/RFI/844/AcqnBidExtn060423.pdf

sure, no disagreement here, i wouldn't use the word ignorant. large organisations take time to overcome inertia, and then comes the resources and logistics of things. fact is things are a lot better than a decade ago.

stimson has been a pro-pak think tank in DC. majority of their research fellows used to be from pakistan, haven't checked recently may be they still do. and the guy who wrote the paper.

what do you think was used for decades before 5.56 and AK came into picture in India?
