I have a doubt, will these 70,000 rifles be used by only Garuds (since they already use tavor, why AK??) or base security operators, military police,etc??
Who does these rifles go to??
Garuds are less than 2000

It seems that IAF (manpower ~ 1.7L) will dump the Insas en-masse in favor of AK series rifles. Among them, first 70k will be AK-103 and the rest will be AK-203.
Garuds on the other hand, will continue to have Tavors, and some Sig-716s.

You expect sense from IDRW? Who knows dude, Russians sold AK-103M to Porkis in the name of AK-103 and sold AK-103M to us in the name of AK-203. Same might be the case between the orders of Army and Airforce.
wouldnt be surprised if russia swlls refurbished ak 74m branded as ak 103 to porkis, between russians have testing ar platform rifle for their army.

Aren't we also getting refurbished AK-47s as AK-203!?
From AK-74 to AK-12, every variant is more or less a refurbished AK-47.

Na, they won't adopt anything other than a vanilla AK in I don't how many centuries.
Remember the initial prototype of AK-12 designed by Vladimir Zlobin!?
It was a radical shift in the whole history of AKs.
But ultimately what did the Russians adopted!? An upgraded AK-74.

imao russkis could have bought ak 74 upgrade kit(practically ak 203 furniture) but putin wanted ak 12(which is just what as you said ak 74 refurbished dhamaka)since the ori ak 12 was too expensive for russian Mod but Russian Mod took left turn and buy a more expensive ak 12(The latest one) :crazy: really peculiar

Nope. Ours is radical redesign of top cover, to allow top rail mounted optics to work reliably.
Rest essentially AK-103 with extended safety.

Is a sig716 with 12-13inch barrel config possible with holo or mepro optics? Me thinks will be very effective in semi built up areas with probably RR, Airborne, SFs or ghatala.
