They want 600k AK 203s and upto 400k carbine that is going to be an AR15 and along with having 73K sig716 with an option for 70k more. This could have been done much more fluently.

AK 7.62x39 platform, AR platform (I suppose 5.56x45), the SIG716 in 7.62x51 according to your info. What is the reason for the Indian Armed Forces to opt for such a big variety of standard issued rifles in terms of both platform types and calibers? Wouldn't this create a logistics problem?They want 600k AK 203s and upto 400k carbine that is going to be an AR15 and along with having 73K sig716 with an option for 70k more.

This has been the way for a long term.All three ammo along with 7.62x54 for drugunovs have been with troops for two decades.They had the FAL as standard during most of the 70s till the fighting in sri lanka showed its down sides and soviet AK rifles started getting issued in small numbers. Then the whole insas fiasco started with the defects of the rifle along with troops who were firing a battle rifle suddenly finding themselves firing an 5.56 ammo from 18 inch barrel also made them question the lethality of the round and with boomer generals coming into podcasts and making 5.56 into somewhat of a BB cartridge to the eyes of the public. Army itself then wanted to return to 7.62x51 platform and got sig716s and to add a twist went to russia to get some downgraded AK203 which didnt even went through trials in india just because it was an AkAK 7.62x39 platform, AR platform (I suppose 5.56x45), the SIG716 in 7.62x51 according to your info.

Well there was an veteran telling in a podcast with millions of views that PTSD is an "american phenomenon "and indian soldiers will never get it because they are not fighting in foreign lands.Sounds like a mess
It's just shocking to see India struggling on this issue while India has cooperation agreements with many of the best in the business and also a serious base for domestic production of whatever India may choose.
By the way in Turkiye we had enough from the boomers thinking that 5.56x45 is a BB cartridge, but after we started replacing standart G3 or MPT-76 chambered in 7.62x51 with MPT-55 and SAR-56 chambered in 5.56x45 in operational units I think no enemy have complained that it hits too weak
Super hero, boomer General who killed 50 people with a bayonet is not right? It can't be!
I have a prejudice towards boomer generals for some time now. I don't know how it is in India, but the more I am listening to Turkish boomers, the more I want to puke... With respect for their service, but I still have the urge to puke and unfortunately I can't help it.
Unfortunately too late. FNC is My favorite carbine however i don't know the reason. Just it looks cool to me .Best arc was to just go for the FN FNC
I believe this is for Armenia. They also ordered SSSD's sniper rifles as well even though neither party officially confirmed it except stating "friendly foreign nation"
