I wish I also had an Indian version AK 203 so that I can shoot myself after seeing it.

Yes.

They should just go for an AR 15 based platform in 5.56 for most troops, and keep the SIG 716 for troops in mountainous areas. There are dozens of good AR 15 manufacturers who are willing to set up shop here for large orders. Otherwise, standardize Sig 716 as the service rifle, with 5.56...

Pakis will stick to some 7.62 NATO rifle as the standard rifle. They want AK's for counter insurgency like us.

Our army top brass need some mental treatment. You further downgraded a rifle that was already a baseline budget rifle.

Ak 203 will be used mostly in counter insurgency, while caracal will be given to those personnel who handle other heavy equipment, or who don't fight primarily with their rifles, such as truck drivers, artillerymen, base guards, communication personnel, etc.

What is the French rifle the Germans are going for? The French themselves are going to adopt the HK416, which is German. The US Army has made no real plans to replace it's M4's yet. Only the marine corps is moving to the m27.

All the 3 countries mentioned will only procure assault rifles from their own industry. So even if they are unhappy with the present rifles, the replacement rifles will be their own. Unlike us who simply gave up on designing an indigenous rifle and are procuring 3 different rifles from 3...

How is it that only the Indian army is deadly against 5.56 when all other armies are okay with issuing 5.56 or similar calibre rifles as standard? The Russian are happy with their 5.45x39. The Americans are continuing to issue newer 5.56 rifles, such as the m27 IAR for the marines as standard...

No, it will also be in the mountains, where you will need ALL of those rifles.

So for the price of one destroyer we could equip all our soldiers with modern assault rifles. And yet they refuse to do it.

In terms of infantry equipment, uniform and other gear, the Indian top brass must be made accountable for their record. This isn't a criticism of the other areas of their expertise, such as large scale maneuvers, overall training of the army, or battlefield tactics. But they have shown nothing...

At this rate, new fighter jets and Assault rifles are two things I don't think will happen within my 20s. And I'm 23.

Please not galil, please not galil, please not galil. For fucks sake not galil.

How much parts commonality is there between x 95 and tavor 7? Any info?

Though more controllable than traditional battle rifles, its still not as easy to operate in full auto as a normal 5.56 rifle. But if our troops can handle AK 47's recoil in close quarters, then Tavor 7 won't be much of a problem. But still, I don't think it can be classified as a carbine. And...

But a carbine is not only about short length, its also about easy controllability in full auto, for CQB. So a 7.62x51 rifle cant be considered a carbine even if its small. They would probably go for a 5.56 rifle.

What are the 90,000 carbines that theyll be getting? Something like M4 or tavor?

Btw, what is the carbine that they are looking at?

The Indian army is a professional army that trains its soldiers to maintain their weapons properly, so I dont think the Tavor 7 will cause any problems when it comes to reliability. And it isnt unreliable in any regard, imo. I think the Tavor 7 is a far more future proof choice than Galil.
