Re: Small Armaments & Infantry Equipment - News & Discussion
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 ...

Re: Indian Military/Defence Exports
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.

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.

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.

Arad has a good chance of winning the carbine contract. Taurus T4 is another Ar15 derivative. That would atleast allow common training with SiG716.
