Possibly ARDE 7.62x51mm LMG drawings with SSSD as they’re participating in the competition to produce it.
judging from the (not so clear but) details of the trigger group here, it seems like plain old MAG 58 to me, since that new ARDE's LMG has a slightly different trigger group with semi-auto mod included in it and a thumb operated lever as safety-fire selector rather than just a safe-full auto cross-frame button as fire selector that is what i think is here, so i think it's MAG 58
maybe they'll try to tweak that deisgn to make their own LMG or whatever they have in mind, or just showing it off here in the video...

as i was saying in previous post,

but if it's a swappable thing (which is how it is most likely, as even on original MAG 58 you could remove trigger group thing by removing that pin and pulling it out of frame) then maybe yeah it could also be used with regular MAG 58s or vice versa...

My Conversation with Viv Krishnan of SSSD on Twitter DM regarding this AR-15 Pattern Rifle. Also see his last point regarding PLR, rifle submitted for RFI is made only in Israel, could he be referring to the ARAD or Carmel?
Also we have confirmation that the SSSD contestant has been submitted for the RFI.
Also itseems most of the foreign OEMs refuse to share any technical knowledge/information until a contract is signed with the Armed forces or LE agency.

Whatever he wrote is it true?

Finally this SSS defense video sheds some light.

1. They have production facility.
2. Testing facility is present
3. Showcased firing of their sniper rifles.
4. Clearly mentioned regarding the IPR of Guns will be with them.

Also from @Aditya Ballal post, They have been contesting the Carbine guns RFI along with PLR and maybe some other competitors.

Waiting for Astr defense folks to showcase their capability soon.

This seems to be from the P72 family, I don’t think the SBR aka CQB one has been shown in the video, only what looks to be a 14.5 inch and 16 inch barrel one has been shown. He’s clearly mentioned the one for the RFI is a DI Rifle, if I’m not wrong the P72 is a gas piston rifle.

If making an AR-15 also gets you into the bandwagon of state of the art, cutting edge, indigenous technology; then I'm also putting an offer.

I can also design a rifle (non-AK, non-AR); and in return give me a good royalty on each gun.

Anyone interested?
