Have we like standardised on any bpj design at all? Or it is multiple rfi and whoever wins goes with it.

All our BPJs, be it for Army or Paramilitary are standardized. Unless they are being purchased on company level.

The great buffoonery called RFP by the the Indian army . A 120 page RFP in which they want to buy snipers without sights and other add ons . Just read the delivery schedules they desire. Seems to have no understanding of manufacturing seems more like a rant of a toddler than a document from a professional Army

Why the Indian Army's Search to Find Sniper Rifles Seems Neverending

While the Army is taking delivery of some 750 Sako TRG-42 sniper rifles from Finland, it recently dispatched a restricted request for proposal for nearly 5,000 more.

some years ago, when 'sniper with sights' tender was released, rifles that qualified failed the tender requirements because sights failed. if we go back and look for opeds at that time, some other fellow would have written an oped saying MoD should issue separate tenders.

opinions are dime a dozen, if the unnamed sources have such an issue they can always approach MoD. tenders have been cancelled plenty of times, what is one more.

or is it the case that Wire doesn't want this tender to proceed on these T&C. we don't know.

Can the Govt's Latest Effort to Acquire Crucial Carbines Pay Off After Multiple Failed Attempts?

The defence ministry came out with its latest 'request for proposal' on November 29. Industry experts say it could take two to three years to ink a deal while forces continue to struggle with operational inefficiency.

thewire.in

"the overall order will eventually be split between the two lowest bidders – or L1 and L2 – with one of them producing 2,55,128 carbines and the other the remaining 1,70,085"

Two different designs!!?.

And you are quoting the biggest buffon of all.

The Wire is biggest buffon of all. The RFP is restricted means, its not available in open media, so no one is going to question their buffonary on it. But lets have a look at the RFI points here.

Aur koi chaara bhi nahin hain.

As far my knowledge goes, indigenous engine integration is underway. Most probably it was tested with it.

IIRC 18 hrs was already achieved and we were going for 24 hrs. The requirement was 36 hrs or something.

Are the sniper accessories like sights and all specific to a gun? Or can be used interchangeably in any combination with any gun?

that's what MIL-STD-1913, what is known as picatinny rail is for. it's not the case that scope itself has fixed picatinny rail directly attached to it, there are adapter rings in between.

Interchangable

only in very specific cases (like optics designed for specific gun) is there a exact match between gun, ammo and Scopes

IAF is quietly beefing up its standoff precision strike capabilities across the fleet.

https://www.aninews.in/news/nationa...ver-250km-strike-range-missile20221207144254/

These are the latest variant of Kh-59, the MK2 variant with an IIR seeker. Between , these can utilise the precise navigation services provided by our IRNSS constellation besides the usual Glonass.

Orders from NGARM aka Rudram-1 will be placed very soon.

I thought it was 15hrs before well if they changed engine and still got same endurance that's a letdown anyway whatever we get its better than nothing

 

[patriots]

18 hrs was the targeted endurance
Already stated by DRDO chief already
Better to induct it now , and move on
