Media/MoD made big chu**** out of us...

It was told that Sig 716 is only for Frontline troops

Today I saw 3 soldiers at guard duty outside cantonment area in my city carrying the same

Matlab out of 72000 ordered a sizeable portion is dedicated to guard duties.

Are they
7.62×51 for guard duties
I can't stop laughing

Frontline units (infantry, mech forces etc)- do you expect them to have a separate armoury for the guard duty rotation? Whatever is available is what’s issued.

This sure is weird but we've seen this slight tint before too, with the French DPM derived uniform.

 

[Spadex]

Or most probably. This is what detergent does to our uniform

Tide..

or i seriously hope not, different batches ordered from different suppliers resulted in this

like remember post kargil war when those 1B1 orange patterns were inducted en masse from different OFB factories some of them had different metallic finish on them with (probably) ones from Kanpur being made so crudely that they didn't even bother to clean off those white inks used for colouring markings (serial numbers, fire selector markings etc)

I just hope they didn't goof up similarly with clothing this time

One is newly issued to a young officer..one is a year and a half old..

Bad quality as expected.

(Maybe)

Possibly detergent hain bhi, most probably NIR layer (which provides camouflage against night vision devices / image intensifiers) is fading away from washing.


Classic case of our military of adopting new stuff but don't know how to use it. Remember soldiers were Mounting holographic sight in reverse when they first issued with sig 716 ?

Haha...Dont forget NSG on that.

I think it's more about the lighting. If you look at the right, there is more lighting than on the left. This aspect was earlier discussed in the camou thread, when the new uniform displayed three different shades.

That tweet you put out about the versatility of the new camo had pics of the darker uniform in jungle with the lighter tone in the desert.
Folks here were praising the ingenuity of NIFT .

What is funny about this is (if true) is that inadvertently one of the vendors has produced a desert camo variant.
