Germans served in Afghanistan and are doing god knows what in Syria. PS: I stumbled upon a letter that you have written to Defence Journal Pakistan in early 2000s. You have been at this game for a long time. Unless that was a different Hari Sud from Canada, then forgive me.:biggrin2:

Can you quote me where did I say that? I made no assumption of any kind. I not just told that there is no such thing as a designated marksman in an IA infantry section and now that all riflemen will be issued with rifle chambered with a full power round it doesn't need any. My posts are not a...

Yeah nah. By your own admission, men issued with a scope automatically qualifies them as marksmen "then those 2 are marksmen" your words not mine. Essentially your entire argument rests on the unavailability of optics. Bad analogy. All men in a section are trained to use LMGs. That is skill...

And I pointed out to you the facts that you are continuously ignoring. Wasn't this precisely your point? If there are 2 guys with 4x optics in a section, "then those two are marksmen".

How did you reach that conclusion? I don't think you have read enough about Kargil, I can provide you with some reading materials if you want. IA learned many many lessons during and after Kargil, putting up a DMR in a section wasn't one of them. Hypothetical and unwarranted capability at...

Your quote. I am telling you facts of the matter mate, you are sharing your opinion laced with "what ifs". If a section wants to engage further than their engagement range they call up people whose job is to do so. As I said, IA is not USMC, PA is not Taliban and a conventional war will be...

1) Once again, a full power DMR with 6x scope is way outside section's engagement range. Wishing something doesn't mean it's feasible. 2) Each section requires a minimum of 6 men in an assault team. Earlier sections used to have 7 member assault team. None of them can be replaced for a...

No you don't. IA infantry sections are one of the most heavily armed in the world. Adding a DMR to section will be traded off with something more important whilst adding little to nothing in return. Breakdown of IA section. 2 LMG gunners - 2 Insas LMG - 700 round each on weapon + 500 rounds...

Why would you need a DMR when infantry is poised to use a full power round as standard issue? DMR's purpose was/is to provide extra range and stopping power over intermediate rounds which are prevalent in most armies. Plus there are no section DMRs in IA. Dragunovs are used as sniper rifles...

Nope, I am saying why the hell are clowns of OFB making life hell for everyone involved except themselves?

BC kya halat kar di Indian Army ki Khangressi mofos ne. Even the purchase of sport shoes becomes news worthy. Where are the serial killers, mass murderers when you need them?

1) There is no way of knowing that unless you have retail price of AK-103. 2) Cheap and good quality usually don't go hand in hand. If you are too broke, even AK-103 is expensive. Bulgarian AKs will come a lot cheaper than AK-103. This isn't the case for India. Bad argument. A budget is...

What I love about this that these jokers will have a lovely trip on public dime, inspect every innovation that Kalashnikov has come up in the past two decades and still choose AK-103 over its far better cousins.

These are for regular infantry. The ones for COIN are already in service. @abingdonboy Dude you are being too nit picky. Information is too scarce to make an educated guess about the modularity of the system. The Western designs you showed have been critisized too, be it for their weight or...

I have been waiting for years for this news.

Russians switched to 5.45 way back in the 70s. India uses 7.62×39 in COIN because of its stopping power and because AKs are cheap and I mean really cheap. A brand new Arsenal AK costs less than half of that of an INSAS. Indian media can't even differentiate between the orfice the food goes in...

1) AK-103 doesn't costs $2000-3000. It not a new rifle but a semi upgraded AK-47. Tavor goes for ~$1800 in retail. 2) Comparision between AK-103 and TAR is an exercise in futility. Differences lie in the calibre (7.62 vs 5.56), type ( conventional vs bullpup) and role (COIN in India)...

For multiple reasons. Just because it can't deal with 7.62 rounds at point blank doesn't mean it won't be able to stop the same round at distances like 200-300 meters. Lighter weight, much improved blunt force trauma protection, shrapnel and splinter protection, easier to mount NVGs among others.

As usual, Brishit media is jizzing all over the Internet and IDRW being complete and utter cunts are lending them a helping hand. These helmets are NOT designed to face 7.62×39 rounds, especially the armour piercing ones.
