New Indian small arms company named "Malhotrasons Defence Private Limited" based out of UP

NSG with an M98 sniper NSG using M98 during Pathankot attack Here NSG is seen using an exo-skeleton during a training exercise CRPF's QAT also procured ex-skeleton kits in few numbers

That's interesting to know since most Sikhs I know are quite diversified when it comes to the region they marry their partners. Infact, they're one of the few communities in welcoming inter-religious marriages and I've seen a decent number of Hindu-Sikh marriages as well You don't see that...

Try sticking to the topic on hand instead of derailing...if you wanna talk about Indian caste system, open a separate thread and we Indians will be more than happy to contribute

The same difference between Indian Punjabis or Haryanvis vs Biharis...not to mention, Sindh has a sizable population who immigrated from UP & Bihar

Also, the so called "inherently superior pakistani punjabis" don't want to mix with the relatively dark & short looking Sindhis

I'm Hindu and it's pretty much the same from my region. We can't marry anyone with the same surnames as referenced in crixus's post#5. There is even something called "Gotra" which refers to "lineage" and you can't marry anyone with the same Gotra or some associated Gotras. The sole purpose Gotra...

By Our Correspondent November 06, 2021 A representative image. Lahore: Pakistan tops the list of marriages within blood relations and the number of people suffering from genetic diseases in the country is estimated between 14-16 million while 1.6 million mutations have been found in...

No foreign weapons system would be inducted into IA or IAF without kickbacks...it's quite obvious a deal of this size with the length of negotiations that went on would mean several different parties were involved and not just IAF/MoD top brass The $8.5mn quoted in the article is pretty meagre...

Churchill was the first to receive honorary US citizenship and his mom was an American. A significant portion of white population in the US has British lineage, not to mention they've once been colonized and are the strongest of allies since WW-II. They've also named another frigate after Aussie...

and how do you justify naming it after Tughril? If they intend to name after a Mughal...would've made sense if they went with one of the Mughal emperor like Babur, Humayun, Akbar or the likes

Who in their right mind would name their most advanced warship after someone who has no relation to the history or lineage of pakistan Tughril is a Turkoman and the founder of Seljuk empire. The Seljuk empire at it's peak doesn't even extend into today's pakistan. Would've made sense if this...

MARCOS

Really glad to see where MARCOS was a decade ago vs now. They're probably the best equipped after NSG Below is what they looked like during 26/11 carrying SLR rifles, Insas and AKs Despite the development of AFSOD, I would really like IN to carve a Tier-I unit from MARCOS on the lines of DEVGRU

I believe the right comparison would be PLAAN's Type 55 vs IN's Visakhapatnam Class both being destroyer though Type 55 is relatively larger at 12-13k tons displacement vs Visakhapatnam's 7.5-8.2k tons. The type 54-A frigate is significantly smaller at 4k tons and half the capability in terms of...

Neither SSS nor Caracal really have the capability to entirely design an AR from scratch. Caracal still uses western consultants and design firms...we'd actually be kidding ourselves to assume Arabs can design a firearm from scratch SSS infact partnered with LMT originally but since they...

Does this mean all 40 Mk-1s have been produced and now they'll move onto manufacturing of Mk-1A?

Same happened with Arjun MBT. First they end up conducting rigorous and endless tests & trails after which they come up with unreasonable changes in specs with an extremely tight deadline. If DRDO doesn't end up meeting those, they'd go with a foreign product. In the case of ATAGS, IA wants M777...

That is a start...once tested, they might end up giving a contract to upgrade all or most AK-47s in our inventory. But the major concern is how long will IA conduct these tests. My question is why waste money on upgrading these age old AKs...many of which came from terrorists most probably made...

How to buy a gun in India The process of possessing a gun license is extremely difficult, involving a whole lot of paperwork, redtape and bureaucracy and will take years to get an application processed even if everything looks rights The kind of guns available for regular civilians are super...
