Does anyone think that the so called F-INSAS demo to raksha mantri was like giving some lollipop to a kid to get some brownie points.
Guess Gernails need to show something so that they meet their indigenious quota and earn some more points for better promotion. I think we can all agree that F-INSAS shown was as medicore as it can get without any concern given to a soldier's comfort and capability. It was more like the amalgamation of all new piecemeal EmERgeNcY orders and call it a futuristic system.
Does anybody know if infantry equipment are inducted by consulting the soldiers or its some Gernail sitting on top making his own requirements considering that they can't even make a good RFP and then it gets refloated again and again.
I pity our defence minister rajnath singh who becomes happy like a kid on just seeing the basic things getting inducted which should have happened a decade ago.
This is the most common config of qbz-191 being out there, some are with gripod. This is perhaps the next standard issue of PLA. Major upgrade to the system is using a 3/4X scope as standard issue, ammo remains unchanged, gripod might be issued.
So this is what we are up against. We need rifles for fighting in mountains and NATO experience in Afghanistan shows that 7.62nato calibre rifles are more suited for that. So can anyone tell me why are we choosing 7.62ak as our rifle and going back in time which is even worst than 5.56nato in range terms.
What kind of people are in MoD and army to come up with this idea. And doesn't these guys know that current handguard of AK203 cant accomodate a nato style UBGL which we currently use. This would either require changing to different ammo UBGL or designing a new UBGL. What would happen to sigs if ak is new standard.
God I wish I was a dallal right now so that I could make some easy money of this crap. Kadi Ninda ji ko indigenious k naam par chapat lgao.
