Nahi Ji , buy a good 7.62*51mm rifle .
If you are sending army with obsolete Insas, I'm pretty sure AK 203 is a major upgrade in firepower.
For killing hoors fine but against porks with g3s ? Granted they don't use scopes as much against the chinks in mountain regions where range is a much valued concept and add to that cheap chinese body armor
So you wanna settle for something better instead of giving our troops a thing which they actually need . Not acceptable Sir
What is better? Restarting the whole damn thing without no end in sight or settle for something that gives an edge over existing standard infantry weapon.So you wanna settle for something better instead of giving our troops a thing which they actually need . Not acceptable Sir
By 2050 our adversaries will be laughing at us if we continue to use AKs by that time
All I know is that our Troops need something, something which is better than INSAS and indeed the AK-203 is better than the INSAS. AK-203 is shorter, lighter, more accurate and better than INSAS in pretty much every Parameter.
Please tell me what does the IA actually want? What are their Requirements? Please post if you have information on it.So you wanna settle for something better instead of giving our troops a thing which they actually need . Not acceptable Sir
Accurate than INSAS? With a 18 inch barrel that fires a 5.56 ? INSAS had issues but it was never a inaccurate weapon
Read this article, whatever it is, AK-203 is way ahead of the INSAS.
It had issues, which is why they want to phase it out ifo Ak 203
AKs are infamous for bring inacurrateRead this article, whatever it is, AK-203 is way ahead of the INSAS.
India-Russia to ink major deal to produce AK-203 assault rifles: Why new firearm is freedom from INSAS gun's shortcomings
Last month the Defence Acquisition Council had cleared a $687.7 million deal to manufacture the Russian-made assault rifles in India, in a boost to the ‘Aatmanirbhar’ programmewww.firstpost.com
If we assume in COIN ops our operations are done in 300metre range, then it is good enough.
Why do you keep talking about COIN ops ! Are bhai we have to fight paki with G3 and chinese with qbz 191
.. sss even venturing in to production of various ammunition with a joint partnership with a brazilian company .. This is why i am bullish about these new companies . This is only way to get rid of old inefficient govt system and that of old indian companies . But their products shd match expectations . Fair opportunity must be provided to them .
Add to the fact that qbz 191 according to chinese is in a new redesigned 5.8x42 with better ballistics .their are also claims that most of the new rifles are issued with a 3x sight as standard .the sight claim could be just propaganda but it could be true also
The procurement plan was to equip frontline troops with Sig and rear troops with AK203.
you think 72,000 rifles are enough for all the infanty battalions on the frontline ? It clearly ain't enough . We have 340 regular infantry battalions with around half of them on the frontline
We couldn't underestimate them . Chinese have a come a long way in weapons design and manufacturing . They are well experienced
