That's the Insas Mk1C. Look at the magazine shape. Normally the 7.62x51 magazine would be straighter like that of the SLR mag is actually. Its because of the ammunition shape. The 7.62*39 ammo of AK have the most curviest mags.

What a coincidence,
this pic from today's ongoing encounter and look at the rifle. Its the same AK Mod from FAB Defense. The soldier is most probably from 5RR.
@Unknowncommando besides that this looks like the Bulgarian AK used by Paramilitary and not the Romanian one used by Army. The gas block and the stock are the indications.
Its very different from Ghatak, see the vertical angle of the gas block pipe above the barrel the Romanian AKS have slope angle just like any old AK. The Handguard looks same though. Stock can be changed
@Jamwal's what is the status of this rifle in service?
Well these have been moded by FAB Defense on the same Romanian AK of IA
Here are the stock, upper and handguard
I don't think if we need more and more we won't be taking off the shelf deliveries from France. Its better to manufacture them here and this would lower the prices a lot more plus there won't be extra costs which were given this time as one time investment only.
Yes its absolutely no point in just taking 36. It would be rather like a consolation prize for France to please them and not keep them in the fray.
And IAF wouldn't have bothered. The amount of dedication and attention they have invested shows. Or else time to time IAF officers wouldn't have...
Wonder what scope will they use. Don't know if they will they use the ballistic course correction computer used on top. Just like NSG does on it's M98B.
Yes Tonbo has made some seriously nice products. But our Army doesn't seem to take any note if this or maybe isn't interested. They are still using the bulky head mounted NVDs and old gen thermals optics.
OMG this cognitive EW is something which was meant for the F35 and its already in Rafale
And is the Russian GaN based more effective than the current SPECTRA ? And has it been fielded on any platform yet?
Ya and this thing about US not in possession of this tech is something u had said earlier as well. Can you please give a detailed article link or explain the inner features of the Spectra ?
Thanks in advance
