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.

Issues crop with US Army XM7 program.

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.

Did Paxtan stop being Paxtan? Then no

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.

Nur Khan, Rahamiyar Khan, Rafiqui, Murid, Sialkot, Sargodha, Shahbaz, Bholari pounded in a single day. Only skardu seems to have missed out from the party. All pounding caught on camera.

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.

Thakur_B

Sandeep Unnithan made a typo in the video title. It is 6.8x43 mm only.

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. This is probably unrelated to how IA is procuring small arms. They could have purchased literally any AR-10 based rifle. Adani-PLR makes ARAD i...

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...

Thakur_B

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

Thakur_B

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.

Some rumoured token SF order. Rest they are manufacturing small periodic orders of Tavor and X95 from Armed forces and CAPFs. Almost everyone in small arms segment is sitting without orders, whether they are SSS, CMT, Jindal or Kalyani.

Because the CAPFs dont act with a chip on their shoulders, don't have a messed-up procurement system & don't have a strong import lobby in their highest echelons (because the gravy train is not big enough) CAPFs purchased lot after lot after lot of Arsenal's AKMs, completely imported. TAR order...

Ammunition was a olw hanging fruit and it is heartening that apart from AWEIL stepping up the quality, there's Hughes, SSS and Adani group entering the field.

Max figures for TNT equivalent blast rating I have seen for any mine protected vehicle is for 40 kg under axle and 20 kg under hull.
