A mere 90,000 assault rifles a year manufactured in India

[AMCA]

We should increase the production and the new assault weapon with night vision and thermal imaging, which should replace the INSAS of army and para military. The old INSAS should got the police forces who still uses WW1 .303 infield.

India is developing the Multi Caliber futuristic Rifle as a part of F-INSAS Program, this will Replace the INSAS and INSAS is already in Service with some state Police

So I guess my earlier argument in an unrelated post about DRDO's rifles makes absolute sense. What's the point of developing and inventing new effective weapons if the same weapons aren't produced in sufficient quantity to equip the soldiers. The longer it takes, the probability that these weapons become obsolete increase. Hands down, Pakistan is a clear winner in this arena. I see that pakistan's military is inferior in terms of number to India's military but it does a great job of supplying and training tactically with whatever they have. Though India has won the previous wars, Pakistan was able to deliver devastating blows to the Indians. The only reason they lost was probably due to the logistical nightmare and the eventual overwhelming Indian manpower. Unless India changes everything about its manufacturing capabilities and tactical training with live rounds (this includes paramilitary and police which can be an effective supplement in case of war), the Indians will repeat 26/11 again. Time to wake up....you can scream about corruption, babus, caste politics, etc. but unless you create a culture of making necessary and effective change, all developments will be in vain.

wrong Presumptions against INSAS

INSAS( Indian small arm system)
benefits.
1- light in weight.
2- transparent magazine.
3-5.56 round which increases effective range and momentum
4-proven in kargil,, army was intially reluctant for its induction. but after kargil it was welcomed
5- 3 round burst.

now its limitation
1- magazine capacity of only 20 rounds. which is very less... but its other version are coming with more capacity.
2- plastic magazine(some other material shud b used)
3- 5.56 round shud b replaced to 6.68....

There are 300,000+ INSAS in service right know. I think India is trying to move away from the INSAS and head towards the rifle for the F-INSAS project..

INSAS is heavy compared to other rifles. Its 4.25 kg (9.4 lb) empty.. Thats about the weight of an AK.

It was a good effort(India's first home made rifle), but India needs to replace it with a better one.

only 3 lac? wat abt the rest of the army?the same old weapons?

 

[mayankmatador]

i agree that INSAS had some limitation.

so instead of producing a product with some limitations.....
y not develop a gud product and then have a mass production....


now about ur devastating blow.... plz look history we ran over east pakistan in a week.......... "After the initial preemptive strike, PAF adopted a defensive stance in response to the Indian retaliation. As the war progressed, the Indian Air Force continued to battle the PAF over conflict zones,[40] but the number of sorties flown by the PAF gradually decreased day-by-day.[41] The Indian Air Force flew 4,000 sorties while its counterpart, the PAF offered little in retaliation, partly because of the paucity of non-Bengali technical personnel.[4] This lack of retaliation has also been attributed to the deliberate decision of the PAF High Command to cut its losses as it had already incurred huge losses in the conflict.[42] The PAF also did not intervene during the Indian Navy's raid on Pakistani naval port city of Karachi.

In the east, the small air contingent of Pakistan Air Force No. 14 Sqn was destroyed, putting the Dhaka airfield out of commission and resulting in Indian air superiority in the east." from wikipedia..
