There are about 6000 in service.
The problem is dragunovs were used in dual role both as dmr and dedicated sniper till now.
Now with the arrival of scorpio tgt(.338 cal) and barrett(.50 caliber), the sniper role is somewhat met. Now, four scenarios arises :

1. Order more such dedicated snipers to allow a 1:1 replacement of dragunovs.
2. Order a separate dedicated dmr like scar 20s or hk g28 as a one to one replacement of dragunovs.
3. Forego the requirement of dmr altogether, make use of sign 716 and retire dragunovs altogether.
4. Upgrade existing dragunovs as dmr while inducting additional small number of dedicated snipers.

Among the scenarios army is most likely going for option 4, as evidenced from its RFIs issued.

Yester years uniforms represent bygone era. Why can't we improvise not only in clothing but better design and colouring? I can't wear same what my grandfather wore!

So technically you're not wrong Haldi

Ya'll Nibbiars but there cameo is still better than the pre 2012 cameo changes when we added more brown to our cameo. The older light grey and green was a bad cameo.
