It's the LPVO from Alpha Defence Technologies and except this there's virtually no other information about it

Extremely rare, most probably just a handful of unit level purchases

That youtube and twitter guy Alpha Defence makes LVPOs?
Lmao I underestimated him

It’s not an LPVO, it’s a 4x22mm Fixed Power Telescopic Scope.

Yeah, obviously this is general Hooda's fault.

Again with this annoying token procurements!! What is supposed to happen in this case? The point man is supposed to identify the threat in the distance and the rest are supposed to just mag dump in that direction?

How they actually use this tactically is unknown to most as only CGRL & Sniping videos from border regions are available as reference but as per the Indian Army procurement standards issuing magnifier optics to Infantry is a big deal.

Procurement is slow, don't worry. I think at least the whole RR will be equipped with Holo+Magnifier combo. The northern command is carrying out AK modification like crazy, most of the tenders does require a sight or sight+magnifier combo along with mod kits or only sights+magnifier for the SIGs.

Indian Gen : let's focus on Robot Dog , Flying Suit and bayonet

Tsk tsk bayonet rejected. Needs to be 50 grams lighter and AI integration. Back to trials with you.

5.56mm DOesN'T kIlL
We need bada bada round....
And expect infantry to hit far away targets without a magnifier sight and also add extra recoil+less ammo carry capacity.

Also I am pretty sure that suppressive power of Battle rifles is greatly diminished compared to assault rifles of intermediate calibre. Putting up rounds close to target as much as possible is suppression, I don't think 7.62rifles have the easiness of recoil or the mag capacity......

Ideally a combination of 5.56mm and 7.62 NATO should address all requirements of basic small arms requirements. Where the fu*k does 7.62AK came from in our procurement?

I don't think I have seen such fu*ked up procurement of small arms anywhere...

I have long held the belief that a lot of IA actually don't understand the difference between 7.62x51 and 7.62x39...or atleast don't take appreciable note of it.

Not once have I heard any high ranking brass actually differentiate them when talking to media (even informed defence media with which you can go into depth if you want) and instead they simply clump them both together as "7.62mm calibre".

While it's true that they're both .30cal rounds, there's a world of difference between the two in terms of ballistics...especially as you look to engaging targets beyond 200m.

It's like how 5.56x45 and .22LR are both .22cal but one is a decent combat round and the other is a peashooter.

Oh well, I have stopped worrying about the sardardh that is IA small arms procurement...life's been much more peaceful since

Expert here, can confirm it's true

Like both .22LR and .22 Eargesplitten Loudenboomer shoots a 5.6mm diameter bullet but the ballistics...well let's just say, is bit different.
