Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

[COLDHEARTED AVIATOR]

As long as it fires the bronze colored projectile, it does not matter for UN GENROLS.

Fuck uniformity.
Embrace chaos.

NATO Generals:-After extensive research we have come to the conclusion that one calibre in a war will be much better for logistics than 3.

Indian Generals:- Mere Lau.. pe BC (in Samay Raina tone)

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.

3 calibers in one picture. Jai ho

5.56mm DOesN'T kIlL
We need bada bada round....Probably Indian Army
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 Gernaails 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.

Why doesn't Indian Army standardize the ammo? We manufacture all kinds of ammo of all calibres & export to NATO & Russia both. It'd be easy for us & logistics too . We even export 6.8x43 mm round which is best intermediate round available.
