We could have got all these under 50/60 k max from Fab defence even if it was for a single peice. 75k is a bit high considering the order is for 600 kits.Though don’t know at what price final deal was made

There are two types of bidding; selling and buying.

In selling the Opening Bid is the minimum price from which the bidding starts and after that bidders start quoting prices more than that. The maximum price to be offered is called Closing Bid.

Then comes buying; here the maximum price someone is willing to pay is the Opening Bid. And the minimum price someone can fulfil the requirement is Closing Bid.

Army said they are willing to pay 70k for kits. Then say SSS said they can provide same kit for 65k. Then FAB said they'll give for 60k...and ultimately SSS would have quoted such a low price that all other contenders would have suffered loss if they went beyond that.

And with this pic I welcome you all to the epitome of advancement of 20th century. It's been almost an year since we had suggested some changes to Mikhail for his rifle design and now it's ready to be adopted.
The new rifle weighs significantly less than current SKS. Not to mention an exponentially large magazine of 30 rounds. The 7.62x39mm cartridge has already proven its worth as a much superior round to 7.62 Tokarev; capable of accurately engaging targets at an extreme range of 300m.
This is the future comrades.

Indian Ak-203 is watered down version of Russian Ak-203.
Russian Ak-203 is watered down version of Ak-15.
Ak-15 is upgraded version of Ak-103M.
Ak-103M is also known as Ak-203.
Anyways, Ak-103M is modernized variant of Ak-103.
Ak-103 is midlife update of AKM.
AKM is basic modernization of Ak-47.

So now you tell me, what is our Ak-203?
