Small arms and Light Weapons

The OFB Carbine is just the 5.56 chopped version of the OFB Ghatak.

 

[vampyrbladez]

My biggest fear came true, The Indian Army wants that the carbines are required to be 650 mm long in foldable and 800 mm long in extended conditions and weigh no more than 3.3 kg. No AR-15 type rifle offers foldable stock or 650mm length in collapsed condition due to use of buffer tube. Only FN SCAR and SiG MCX remain qualified but SiG MCX is 3.4kg heavy so only FN SCAR Remains which is too too too much expenive to even dream of buying let alone reality, guess what... the specs were made specifically for OFB Carbine as Phashist Narinder Mudi once said Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Indian Army went too seriously.

8.5” ki gun se kya ukhad lega tu?

 

[Aditya Ballal]

The OFB carbine in its latest iteration in Aero India 21 looks a million times better than any OFB firearm ever displayed. God only knows if they'd keep the the QC.

IA is aiming for a short 5.56 mm pistol. PLR is owned by Adani. Many reasons.

Although RFI doesn't seem promising due to limitations in 5.56 mm as shown below.

OFB Carbine is supposed to be selected, rip modernisation.

Yes one problem newly formed Iraqi army (of Republic) faced was lack of registration of firearms in armed forces during Saddam times, like they evaluated remaining kalashnikovs post all war stuff and outta bunch of some 1 and half lakh AK pattern rifles of different patterns only 12000 some were found to be registered or so,
this was the 'babu' reason for mass modernisation in post Saddam iraq that pushed for modern firearms, with that Iraqi army opted chance to get a proper modern rifle, comparable to western standards etc and VHS-2 emerged victorious of their requirements, Croats were able to sold about 1 Lakh of these in very first batch.

While same rifle was also "this" near to become next standard issue rifle of the French (because originally VHS, first variant of this rifle, was heavily based on original FAMAS in terms of looks-controll etc) owning to commonality part for training, but then politics got involved and HK416F = a "tailor-made" variant of HK4165 was selected over it.
Some legionnaires who were able to test it in Afghanistan, by courtesy of Croatian soldiers of course, praised it a lot and wished it was selected over HK416's french variant...but....sigh
(^Source of above claim = Youtube comments of Larry Vickers video of VHS-2)

Why yes it was indeed offered to the French when they were finding a replacement for FAMAS, and finally two contenders were left,
one was HK416A5's custom variant made for French forces,named HK416F
other was of course VHS-2, which had better chance over 416F because basic handling,ergonomics etc were quite similar to older FAMAS
but then like everywhere,politikz got involved and 416F was chosen over VHS-2.

People get shocked to see cartels having access to all these, but it’s pretty normal to see US Civilians in better milspec kit.

All these are fake for psyops, I can get all plate carriers and tacticool stuff from Amazon and weapons from blackmarket.

Please tell us about the IVAS system.

Basically, a heads-up display that shows maps, waypoints, digital night vision, etc.

The Army's Ultimate Heads-Up Display: The IVAS

The heads-up display shows a compass and a 3D map where friendly and enemy locations are marked and shared with others in their unit.

Indian Army Day 2021: Making way for modernisation and digitisation

2020 has been a crucial year for the Indian Army. The clash in Galwan in Eastern Ladakh with the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of China has compelled the Indian Army to accelerate the modernisation process to match the Armed Forces of China.

www.freepressjournal.in

As regards sensors we have currently acquired Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Battle Field Surveillance Radars, Weapon Locating Radars, Long Range Reconnaissance and Observation System (LORROS), Thermal Imaging Intensification Observation Equipment (TIIOE), N Cross night vision equipment, Hand Held Thermal Imaging (HHTI) equipment, night vision binoculars and Unattended Ground Sensors. The quantities held are minimal and greater numbers are needed for improved Battle Field Transparency. Apart from these the Indian Army needs satellites as also Aerostats for wider coverage of its Area of Influence.
