Only 155 were identified!
Doctor sahab, where are their last rites videos???
So many hoorified but not one video was out... Either they were charred to death onsite or cremated under the rubble.

So many SM posts were trawled and unearthed by the Twitter commandos.

My gripes about the carbine, - Should have had a gas regulator for suppressed operation. - Should have had a AR15 / MCIWS style Magwell for familiarity of ergonomics to SiG716 and multiple magazine options because of open standards. - Hanguard could have been full length for more accesories options ...

Big win for Baba Kalyani and DRDO.

Why do we need a base in Armenia?
Whom do we intend to target from the said base?
How will we resupply the base in events of hostilities?
Turkey has sold weapons and gives ideological support to Paxtan. So do many other nations that we are friendly with.

The opposition can make this a big deal on asking why did India accept when the Indian armed forces were clearly winning?

Absolutely. A decision of questionable benefits.

Methinks this is the case. We had started chaddi utaaro of their nuke facilities.

Thakur_B

We should use this opportunity to order large number of kamikaze drones. Our next salvo should begin with hundreds, if not thousands of drones targeted towards Pak power grid and POL supplies. We now know that Pak AD is absolute shit. Flood their airspace and it will get overwhelmed immediately.

BREAKING

Indian Govt confirms air strikes on PAF bases Nur Khan, Rahamiyar Khan, Rafiqui, Murid, Sialkot and two radar bases using precision weapons launched from fighter aircraft early this morning.

Thakur_B

Pakistan SM is itself uploading footage of strikes. Loving it. BRF is being way too conservative this time around.

Thakur_B

Loving the chaos in Paxtani cities. Their fauj stands exposed.

Thakur_B

Please refrain from posting unverified stories from twitter warriors. It degrades the quality of discourse.

Thakur_B

The strategy of occupying individual peaks with a dozen fighters like in the days of Kargil War isn't going to be much successful for Pakistan in the era of cheap loitering munition and high altitude capable attack helicopters.

Saurav Jha, Sandeep Unnithan and Shriram from SSS Defence discuss what ails Indian Small Arms industry.

One interesting point that comes up is that it is easier to get export orders than getting small proof of concept orders for Indian state.

I brought an iPhone lightning cable and Apple watch once. Now I will have to keep buying iPhones for commonality of charging infrastructure and smart watch.

Arad has a good chance of winning the carbine contract. Taurus T4 is another Ar15 derivative. That would atleast allow common training with SiG716. Arad definitely is a superior product and PLR already has a production plant running. Next up if IA floats a tender for 7.62x51 rifles, Arad is availabl...

I wonder if Col Bansod is working with ARDE on other weapons.

SSS Defence G72 SMG at bottom. Didn't make it through in Army procurement for 550 Nos. SMG. Also didn't get through were Uzi and CZ Scorpion. Still standing in competition are Asmi and Taurus T9.
