Army to unveil futuristic Rambos next year

[boris]

I think it was just the display and the actual gadgets are not yet ready. If the gadgets are ready, then it would be a foolish decision not to start the production because we also have world war II era industries especially OFBs and also the number in which we require is too much. Just look at INSAS, it was ready in 1998 and till now we haven't supplied all our infantrymen with this rifle.

The funny thing with DRDO is that, the demand of INSAS was placed in 1980 and it was ready in 1998. It took them 18 years to build that ugly gun and by the time it was inducted, army said we want something new.

I don't know what govt. and DRDO thinks but a good weapon, BP jacket and Helmet for our armed forces is really important because they are the one who are putting their life on the line to protect our borders.

i have seen a serving gorkha rifles officer and a retired officer from short service both not holding the INSAS credilble enough in battle ,they loved the AK far more.

Actually it is. AK series is one of the best guns ever built. Although now there are more advance weapons but AK series is at its place. OFB was also producing Zittara (The Indian version of Micro-Tavor).

Zittara

Is anybody using this ?? Are we going to replace INSAS with Zittara ??

Zittara

I dont think that they will not replace INSAS with Zittara..instead they are developing a new INSAS rifle..A limited number of zittara rifles used by SF.

'Ugly gun'!!! This is no fanboy art or computer game that they need to make cool looking guns.

by the time it was inducted, army said we want something new.

After inducting 1 million! IA always need newer weapons, its normal procedure. In future they will replace INSAS.

i seond you pal,its no game take the first M16 design not so cool looking like the SCAR,tavor but the americans liked it for over 45 years and again the AK,design is important but efficiency matters the most as the main designer of the tavor zelman shebs says "the best thing i like about the M16 is its good and simple design and its efficiency"

Dude you really thought it was about art ??/ What i meant was dissatisfaction, IA demand for this kind of rifles was in 1980 not in 1998. I wrote clearly, i don't get how you couldn't understand what i was saying. Everybody knows it take time to produce 1 million pieces but i was talking about 18 years which OFB or DRDO took to develop a rifle.

The truth is world does not stand still, technology evolve. By 1998, IA was facing different challenges while the first batch of INSAS was still to be delivered, this is what happens when you do not develop the product in time.

I am just saying a good gun, BP jacket and helmet is important for our soldiers who are fighting and getting killed in day to day terrorist and naxalite attacks.
