Why are we chasing OFB products when decision has been made in favour of imported technology.

Many such weapons which were originally designed for the army are now used widely by our CAPFs and state police forces

new carbine -------------------------------------

Interestingly, the receiver does not look similar to the AK based INSAS receiver. Given the placement of the charging handle and by the look of the lower receiver. I think it disassembles like a JVPC. Breaking into lower and upper receiver. I hope, Sandeep Unnithan can get us a closer view of this carbine.

Instead of being content with this, OFB should really put full p-rail, adjustable buttstock, better muzzle-brake etc. on it... atleast the users should request them to.

Army set to fast-track light machine gun buy

After ordering 72,400 assault rifles from the US under the fast track procedure (FTP), the army is now looking to take the same route to equip its soldiers with 16,000 new light machine guns (LMGs), two officials familiar with the matter said on the condition of anonymity.

After ordering 72,400 assault rifles from the US under the fast track procedure (FTP), the army is now looking to take the same route to equip its soldiers with 16,000 new light machine guns (LMGs), two officials familiar with the matter said on the condition of anonymity.

The FTP can be invoked in cases where “undue/unforeseen delay” in buying weapons is seen to be adversely impacting the military’s capacity and preparedness, said one of the officials cited above.

“Indian Army teams will visit weapon manufactures in several countries including the US, Bulgaria and South Korea in the coming weeks to initiate the LMG purchase. Tenders for buying LMGs have been scrapped in recent years as only a lone vendor met the army’s requirements, delaying the projects,” said the second official. A single-vendor situation is a strict no-no under India’s arms purchase policy.

“Previous attempts to buy LMGs have not come to fruition. It’s important to compress the acquisition process as is being done under the FTP route. It’s a critical shortfall in capability that is now being addressed on priority,” said former army vice chief Lieutenant General AS Lamba (retd).

According to rules, weapons sought to be bought under the FTP should already be in the military’s armoury, have undergone trial evaluation, or be in service in foreign militaries so that the time required for evaluation is minimised. The army has a requirement of more than 40,000 LMGs. The army is looking for 7.62mm x 51mm weapons with an effective range of at least 800 metres.
