    Those would be soft armour panels then which are supposed to be Kevlar or Aramid instead of hardened steel plates or Boron Carbide plates. Kevlar or Aramid soft armour is only good for fragmentation and pistol rounds.

    Even SAPI side plates don't weigh 400 gm.4 plates would mean 2 side plates which are smaller and weigh around 1kg and 2 plates which are the front and back plate respectively which weigh around 1.8-2.5 kg.Depends on the vest, I am sure the vests used by SF are plate carriers and not full...

    India Reissues Tender for 100 Armored Personnel Carriers

    Modularity, Protection, Armament and Future Growth Potential. BTR-82 and BTR-90 are probably the least modular the AMV and Piranha V on the other hand have huge modularity and future growth potential that's why they've been chosen for the FRES-UV.In the case of Armament there are manned...

    India Reissues Tender for 100 Armored Personnel Carriers

    That's not how weapons systems are requisitioned.They'll only only be procured during the time allotted and according to the fund allocated by the Army in the fiscal years during which the BMP-2s will be replaced and newer FICVs procured.

    India Reissues Tender for 100 Armored Personnel Carriers

    Some other options Nexter VBCI GDELS Pandur II GDELS Piranha V Iveco SuperAV Patria AMV Otokar Arma FNSS Pars Personally I think the BTR-4 is the best and cheapest option if only 100 vehicles are being ordered, if more than the AMV, Piranha V and Boxer are the best.

    India Reissues Tender for 100 Armored Personnel Carriers

    Maybe for an experimental Stryker type Brigade?But that itself requires around 330 Strykers of different variants like the M1126 ICV, M1128 MGS, M1129 MC and M1134 ATGM carriers etc which is not at all what the Army is looking for which is strange as they just want an IFV variant of the APC and...

    SMG trials which took place involving the Vz.58 Compact Sporter, M70AB2 and the Md.63?Or are you talking about a different SMG bid to replace the MP5's with some other 9mm SMG or PDW like the Skorpion Evo III or P90 which I am not aware of.

    IAF for new assault rifle

    Yes this, thank you. So I guess we both agree to the fact that G3S barrel and OAL is shorter than the full length G3M which is basically a G3P4 with rails?

    No not these. First photo is of the MKEK HK33E telescopic stock along with the T-40 and HK33E with fixed stock, second photo is that of the POF PK-8. No G3S here.You did post a photo of the G3S which I believe was this. It's not similar to the G3M, the G3M is longer and I wanted to post the...

    IAF for new assault rifle

    POF G3S and G3M are both different. G3M is full length battle rifle same as G3A4 with rails, G3S is carbine length battle rifle with. rails.The G3S in this photo is just behind the G3M. I can't seem to be able to find the one showing G3S and G3M together.

    IAF for new assault rifle

    Hi, thank you I wasn't aware police units in Pakistan were also equipped with the 550 series. The rifle is fake or airsoft, puts question on the credibility of the person posing for the photo to actually belonging to the SSG or even the Armed Forces for the matter. The picture you posted is...
