Definitely I agreed with your view, it must go to the special forces but it needs refinement before its induction. Refinement and development take times.

Indian Army must order 550,000 insas mk 1c to regular troops and 300,000 ghatak rifle to RR troops operating in Jammu and Kashmir.

Please stop giving numbers like that.

People like me recommend 20 crore rifles to to be manufactured for a grand army and militia.

So, let us not get into such numbers

Looks like the Main stream defense journalists and blogs are deliberately trying to keep the indigenous rifles under wraps to continue the rhetoric "INDIA CAN REACH MARS BUT CAN'T MAKE RIFLES"

The single most important difference is its receiver is machined and single piece compare to its earlier version in service and also in British and other nations as well, The butt-stock design will see change in next few months ..

I think second pic is GPMG which has lighter receiver to reduce weight. Bipod Old GPMG would weight around 11-12 kg but new MG is 9kg. I wonder this is the new light GPMG being developed by DRDO or there will be something completely new?

The first pic is definitely OFB made MAG 2A1,you can find technical specs about it on the official website at
http://ofbindia.gov.in/products/data/weapons/wsc/17.htm

The second pic is a bit interesting.To me,it looks like a MAG - PKM hybrid gun,with internals taken from PKM while externals and feed tray are taken from MAG.
For more info on second gun,refer to my post at

As part of ongoing joint training between troops #IndianArmy and #Bangladesh Army at #BRC, Danapur Cantt, Lecture-cum-demonstration on room intervention, clearance drills and hostage rescue was organised. Both the armies immensely benefited. The visitors were also given exposure in rock climbing and rappelling in order to ingrain skills for scaling houses, top entry into buildings where terrorists have taken a hostage. The contingents shared the dynamics of operating in Counter Insurgency & Counter Terrorism operations

Why are they wearing this type of gloves,with no spacing for fingers?
Doesn't it obstruct while pulling the trigger?

These are not gloves, but gunner mittens. They do have generally a flap in palm to fire a weapon with them being on. Some tactical models do have separate space for the index finger along with thumb.

I don't like seeing our flag on the front side of the helmet,it should be placed on the side of shoulder or below the name of the soldier.
I think we should re design the whole uniform
