Indian Army Chief on 4-day visit to Australia
NEW DELHI (PTI): Army Chief Gen Bikram Singh will embark on a four-day visit to Australia from Tuesday during which the two sides will discuss ways to strengthen bilateral military ties.
"The visit assumes special significance in the light of improving economic and military cooperation between the two countries in consonance with our growing relationship with Australia," an Army statement.
The visit comes after Defence Minister A K Antony went to that country in June and the two sides decided to strengthen their bilateral defence ties and agreed to hold a naval exercise in the near future.
"A structured mechanism is in place both at the level of Defence and External Affairs ministries and the bilateral cooperation has seen a significant expansion to include all areas of mutual interest," it said.
The visit of the Army Chief will contribute significantly to the consolidation of the existing ties and give a boost to the cordial relations between Australian and Indian armies, the force said.
During the visit, Gen Singh is scheduled to interact with various high level political and military dignitaries of Australia. He will also visit a field formation and the Australian Staff College.
"The visit will contribute to the cementing of our overall relationship with that country and strengthen the ongoing defence cooperation. This enhanced military contact with Australia will prove to be mutually beneficial to the strategic interests of both the countries," the statement said.

Not really, its sort of a cross between a battle rifle and an assault rifle. After the Kargil war its kinks were ironed out, like polymer magazines cracking due to extremely low temp. and all.
It serves its purpose for the common infantry unless they are engaging in CQB in which case it comes up really short.
It'll do for now. Although unless the OFB is given the danda (not going to happen since it will require structural changes by the MOD, changes which have been enumerated in the past here) the finish quality and components quality will remain relatively low.

the 5.56mm has low kill ratio apparently and as already told
the designing philosophy of INSAS was that it will injure and not kill enemies and when others come to pick up these ppl they will be shot at too!!lol

That is just babu and journo bunkum. The 5.56mm has been in use with many countries and served them just fine. Killed a lot of people too so its not an issue, people fail to qualify ballistic performance with the associated parameters and as always the conclusions drawn by those who then write pieces on such equipment end up factually incorrect.
The round's proclivity to tumble and leave a rather bloated wound channel is specifically bad for the bloke who eats the slug.
