these days in IA related media content, SIGs are showing up every where. as if AKs and INSAS does not exist anymore in IA, which is not the case ofcourse.

So Wire the liar sent all of us on a wild goose chase.

there was an ammo shortage in US last year, is it over now?

a few can be answered. - it was an emergency purchase and it was COTS. - reason for buying scope/accessories separately is because in previous occasions when tender was a combined one (rifle + scope), if rifle was good and scope supplied by OEM was not good, it had to be rejected. - there is...

even if current 7.62 NATO rounds are optimised for sig, if IA chooses a different weapon later for this calibre, the ammo needs to be re-calibrated for the new weapon system again. it's better IA drops this piece meal approach, have a relook at the 7.62 nato weapon as a whole along with ammo...

nothing special, optimal would be the right word. our current ammo was not the right combination for the sig-716i. the article says our current ammo was used after the ammo that came with the rifles were expended. let more info come, since it is the wire the liar that has reported this.

all small arms RFI from IA clearly mention that the weapon system should fire currently used field ammunition. it's not the case that OFB ammo is bad(in this case), rather that OFB ammo is not optimal for sig-716i that has been bought. i think it would be wrong to interpret from this scenario...

and we have a law for restricted bore, military caliber ammo has no place to be outside of Cantonment and operational areas.

Indian Army Soldier Explaining About Sig Sauer 716 Assault Rifle

Have any of the major armies officially discarded bayonets? I don’t think there are many. Bayonet continues to be the last resort. As far as Indian army is concerned, since mountain warfare is a critical element and supply lines on mountains are not guaranteed always, bayonet will continue...

this time it is nothing to do with us, it’s upto Putin/Rosoboronexport. It has already be proven with Americans & French that if vendor is willing to supply on time, MoD is not the reason for any delay.

if I recall there was a tender in 2015-16 where rifle was rejected because of the scope, since then all large quantity tenders are being issued separately for rifle and scope, so that there are lesser reasons to stall a tender.

Even if PoF is bad, you think paki fauj will allow an audit, and and that audit report be made public. is it possible that this assumption, is based on lack of information from paki side I.e suppression of negative news.

Tough chance, Muricans(pentagon) won’t allow profitable military I.P leave murican shores.

Where did the 1200$ number come from? I thought deal is yet to be finalised.

1) To have control over the supply chain. 2) to have a rifle in hand, which is forgiving for tolerances built into the design. 3) we are also paying for setting up the infrastructure to manufacture AK 4) to keep Putin off our back, he is a playful mood these days. He is playing rapid chess...

I would have posted the details of tender/RFI in Indian army thread.

The RFI prior to going for emergency procurement of 7.62, included 3.36 million rounds of ammo(5.56 + 7.62). Unless SIG is not an OEM for 7.62 ammo, they would probably come with the deal.

Not for 556 & 762................... Correction: incase you are asking if sig deal is coming with its own ammo then yes.
