[Vayuputra]

Why most of the Indian defence firms feel like a f-ing shell company

They are indeed, investing in small arms for indian army doesnt make any sense aa we have already sealed deal for our future assault rifles,

With the indian army and small arms in general the only thing that you cant say is "sealed the deal" lets see what comes out of the US NGSW

Le ARDE
"....MCIWS/AAR will now be chambered in polymer ammo, cased telescoped and .277 Fury"

Bouquet and “fancy” flower arrangements never fails to make an appearance. Shows where money is actually being spent. Anyway one can see the whole small arms line up (except Ghatak) of the Erstwhile OFB.

If SSS Defence already has state of the art P-72 carbine in 5.56x45mm then why are they contending for ARDE's carbine!
Just asking

Profit maximisation, their CEO replied to one of the comments regarding why the companies name that was submitted is Stump Scheule LMT, he said that the company of the erstwhile JV still exists and they’re using it for such partnerships with DPSUs and Stump Scheule Somappa for their own products. SSLMT is fully owned by SSS Defence itseems.

You are in the Himalayas, the same wildly unreliable, unfamiliar, and difficult Himalayas. And you're fighting ridgeline to ridgeline.

What will be your caliber of choice and weapon too!?

You mention fair points. But like you said about inventory maintenance, don't you think that it would be hell for the stores to have AKs, SIGs, TARs, INSAS, etc. at a macro level?

As for your question, I believe usage would be of 7.62 X 39 mm calibre rifle? A carbine when engaged in an urban scenario at best?

You are right; I was assuming more of a Paki/roohani yahoos scenario. But against PLA's armour, 51 would be much more potent.

Even paki are getting cheap body armour now.the whole point of americans running to NGSW was that they saw in syria terrorists who had cheap body armour that can relatively stop 5.56.so first the americans gave a tender for 7.62x51 rifle yup they almost went back to the old cartridge but cancelled it and went for NGSW .body armor is gonna be a real head ache as even terrorists will be able to get them.so rifle cartridges are coming back.with advanced optics each soldiers are gonna be more designated marksmen than old "spray and pray"
