Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

It depends on whether you are a country man or a man in the city, after all, the most important thing in marriage is the values of both parties
Indian troops have the habit of using ak for a long time, so it is best to choose ak203, which can take care of the usage habits of most soldiers
If you use AR series rifles, many tactical actions need to be modified, which will be very troublesome
The performance of Ak203 is definitely not as good as HK416, Scar, western modern rifle, he is indeed the most suitable for India

Then why did china ditch the ak ?

the number of the Chinese army

Largest armies in the world by personnel 2020 | Statista

China had the largest army in the world in 2020, with over 2 million active military personnel. India and the U.S. followed, each with 1.4 million soldiers.

.
According to this you guys have the largest Armed Forces in the world

 

[Marliii]

The military expenditure of the Chinese army is 4 times that of the Indian army, and the number of the Chinese army is also smaller than that of India.
Moreover, the QBZ191 is China's own product, the price can be controlled at a relatively low level, and it can be equipped in large quantities. China has also developed its own ACOG, and each rifle has a scope in the box.
These are all things that the Chinese military can afford
It is different for India. You need to go to the international market to buy your own weapons, and the price is bound to be high. Even if you produce your own weapons in India, others will charge a high patent fee.
So what suits you is the best

Our companies are also making good guns here and they dont get charged a high patent fee.mate you got 21 lakh troops ain't ? Hows that less than india ?

I am talking about the army, not all combat personnel. After the military reform in 2014, the total number of the Chinese army should be between 900,000 and 1 million.
Indian army is about 1.2 million

Alot of your budget goes towards your Navy and Air Force too definitely when talking in relative terms (%) the number comes around preety close for the army only. Also Indian Army is operating at a streght less than what is sanctioned.

 

[SGOperative]

this is the best way
Then India can produce its own rifles
like an insas rifle

Hmm QBZ is definitely the pinnacle of Quality Control and just so you know Insas rectified most of its short comings in iterative manner.

 

[SGOperative]

Not only the navy and air force, but also the rocket army, joint logistics support force, strategic support force,
A total of five branches of the military
About 25% of China's military spending is in the army,

And that is not the case with the India, hence what implied with % symbol.

We have our own companies which make scopes, ti scopes, etc.

Indian companies like Tata , bel and many others have developed various types of weapons sights , including acog too.
As far as rifle is concerned, insas mk 1c is definitely better than many other contemporary rifles and its not equal to insas 1b1 .
Infact insas is renowned for its accuracy and controlled fire .

Indian army is down to 1 million due to reduced recuitment intake in the past two years

Not every rifle we produce is an Insas , to be honest , our domestic arms industry is better at making complex systems like Surface to air missiles , Ballistic missiles , cruise missiles , warships , PGMs, military data transfer solutions , EW systems , protective equipment and Mobility platforms than they are at making simple stuff like rifles . It some times leaves me dumbstruck as to how wr managed to build an inventory of advanced missiles and strategic systems like nuke subs but failed to produce assault rifles on par with NATO standards or even Eastern Bloc standards

 

[Angel of War]

I don't know much about light weapons, but I think India's move is right, the reason
1. The recoil of 7.62 is too much, it has exceeded the limit that people can bear, I have seen a video, when an Indian soldier used SIG716 to fire bursts, the recoil caused him to fall,
2. The problem of the scope, I have collected a lot of pictures of SIG716, they either use the old INSAS rifle scope, or the single magnification holographic scope or the red dot scope,
However, the advantage of SIG716 is that it is used beyond 400m, so a high-magnification scope is required, at least AOCG,
And for ordinary infantry, the SIG716 is redundant
It's more important to spend your money on some scopes than on more guns

Agreed with all your points here .

I had fired 2019 made sidefolding Insas very recently and nothing changed. It jams a lot.
