Sir, Z10 deal is dead. Engine probs, plus canon prone to jamming and 2-3 times missile misfired. After extensive tests and no solution came, T129s got selected.
Zarvan, Z10 deal is dead for now and for coming few years.
Z10 not only had engine issues, but its canon was prone to getting jammed, and on couple of occasions the missile didnt fired after command given.
So engine and the gun were major problems which couldnt be resolved in time and army...
It can be one design for both calibres or 2 rifles getting selected for different calibre options.
FN Scar got tested in the 7.62*51mm category, but from what i heard, they may also be giving option to give us capability / machinery to make the 7.62*39mm in the same design.
Same goes for...
Ok guys, just for update, the new rifle program isnt dead yet. Things are still moving. Trials ended. Position wise 1. Fn scar design 2. cz 807 3. Arx-200 4. Ak-103A.
Financial nego may also have been nearly finalized, some feedback is being taken, after which most probably final decision...
With the recent trump tirade against pakistan and banning security assistance and withholding equipment, we need a serious thought abt having american stuff or equipment having some critical american tech, like engines. T129s have the heart made in the usa i.e- engine. Same goes for Zulus...
I have used cf98 since last 5 years and i am very satisfied. Nearly 400 rounds of different origin fired without a single stoppage or misfire.
ST9 isnt bad also.
We were weak then, something must have changed recently due to which we have started standing up to them.
There has been a major change, what caused is yet to be known.
If u see, in last few months Pakistan has become cold hearted towards US.
The US doesnt gets what it wants and Pakistan has been replying to them in a tone which was not there before.
Agreed, but their hostels are big, some side by side, so even if they enter 2 hostels with full capacity, the damage would be huge. The long weekend played a major luck factor in saving us from a tragedy.
If it had been upto me, i will place atleast 4-5 elite police squads with apc's inside...
There seems to be 5 terrorists involved so far.
Looking at their numbers and the number of martyrs it seems a big tragedy has been averted. Had it not been a holiday a bigger tragedy would have been witnessed, bigger then APS.
Rest in peace the martyred students and staff.
