105 mm gun is 3 and half tonnes while 155 mm gun is 4 tonnes , that's the joke
That is advanced metallurgy of a Titanium alloy
Hardly few nations mastered it

Bharat forge came with options in 2018

Sadly IA never 😔 pursue it
As it will
Cut commissions of many military officials
And armed lobbyists

Russians will sell anything for right price
Nuclear subs to Ballastic missiles we got
The tech from them

PLR is adani firm so forget about them getting order

There is nothing about complicating anything
We already complicated
Things while buying
US made SIG 716i

Without any local assembly line
This will create serviceability issues in long run
For India military

Infact Ak-203 although (Ak-12 or 15
Might had been better choice )

Was best decision Modi has made
Localizing base AK


60 % IA battalions are Trained or deployed for
Higher altitude
So any lighter version can be more suitable

FNMAG old design less scope modernize it.

This gun can be switched into multi role

As a DMR

Also I have less hope for OFB Innovate design
As there R&D is still 20 years behind the curve
FN Evolys would be good choice sadly
It's not be in our budget and certainly will never be allowed for licence produce

AS FN doesn't give weapons to non nato

Requirements is still for locally produced weapons
Already stated by army
Which can be FN MAGs

But I find it less modernized less scope for R&D

Had we gone for Negev assembly or standardize It's as
MG
It's wouldn't been issue ever

Requirements for MG's far exceeds
1,00,000 as it's will accounted for CAPF also
Hope you do know Adani-PLR had received orders for Tavor family weapons of various variants by the Army, CAPFs and State Police forces.
There is nothing stopping them from producing Negev-Ng7 when they have the license to assemble and manufacture the gun and components for IWI Israel themselves, if they win the second tender for machine guns, they will be making it.

Are you really comparing a field gun developed in the 1970s to one designed in the 2000s? This is like comparing a Nokia 3310 to an iPhone 11🤦🏼‍♂️.
It is very obvious there will be technological advancements after a gap of 3 decades and new developments.

Bhagwan ke kripa se yeh deal radh hojaye aur sig 716 and caracal rifles order kare, word armed forces are opting for ar styled rifles over traditional ones, if it wasnt for the emotions attached to ak 47, Russians would have ditched ak patern rifle long back,
Haa aur america yaha banaye ga na sig 716 ?
Kabhi nai , better arm all of them with a shortened version of fal , ask ofb or whatever its called now to make a new version of Fal

Have been in favor of shortened version of fn fal with full auto mode for very long, it would save lot of cost, we already have plenty of fals with almost in pristine condition, should make good use of them,
