India to Take on Pakistani Snipers With NV Sights on LMGs

[MadDog]

Pakistani snipers have proven their skills in real time combat in Zarb e Azb , they are battle hardened, they are an overkill for an adversary which never saw any intense combat in over 4 decades

 

[Comfortably Numb]

From the article it seems Pakistani snipers have been causing big problems for Indians.

India, Israel, USA , Rusks, UK all missing from participating countries, you should have sent him in Olympics , Gold the milta. Any ways solider is a Solider.

There's really nothing special about those country's snipers that you listed. There was a competition in August in China were Russia, France and Israel participated which a Pakistani sniper was declared the best.

Considering the distance our snipers score kills at FATA LoC is a joke to say the least.

India is enhancing its small arms capability to take on Pakistani snipers along the border with Pakistan. The Indian Army has lost 25 soldiers within two months as a result sniping and mortar fire from across the border.

New Delhi (Sputnik) — India will equip its army border units with long range light machine guns and night vision devices (NVDs). The Indian Army has asked for ‘state-of-art' night sights from global manufacturers in order to help soldiers fire 7.62 mm Light Machine Guns (LMGs) accurately in any visibility. India needs these long-range 24x7 LMGs to dissuade Pakistani snipers from taking up positions to harass Indian soldiers manning posts along the border.


"In terms of design, metallurgy and performance parameters, the sight should be ‘state of the art'. The night sight should be capable of providing the desired performance across all spectrum of employment in the Indian terrain and climatic conditions. The sight should comply with laid down military standards and other international standards in vogue," reads a document of the proposal issued by the Indian Army.
The range of detection of a human target at minimum 1000 meters will be hold much importance in the mountainous Himalayan region where life of soldiers posted within visual range remains at stake especially on the front with Pakistan.

The Indian Army has for long sought a new 7.62 mm LMG. Though Indian defense scientists have developed 7.62 mm LMG, it is not clear whether the army has approved it for induction. Officials from the Indian government refused to comment it. However, it is known that Israeli firm IWI is one of the contenders for the tender with its Negev NG7. IWI has already received orders for the 5.56 mm LMG. It claims the NEGEV NG-7 is a derivative of the 5.56 LMG. This seeks to place IWI in an advantageous position to meet the army's need for 7.62 mm LMG with a semi-automatic mode.

People you missed major point India according to this article has lost 25 soldiers although Indian Army only admitted 18. As for Snipers well we have enough snipers who are not equipped with latest Optics and Night Vision devices. Also we are going for more optics and also possibly if SCAR is selected it would also bring it Sniper versions as well as FN Minimi 7.62 and 5.56. @Horus

Indian army don't have snipers ???

 

[Stag112]

Shooting, boxing, wrestling India has been winning Olympic medals.

I know it is irrelevant on a defence forum, but to shallow simple minds with a macho complex it may mean something.

Indian army don't have snipers ???

You need to patrol the border to prevent infiltration, not for providing covering fire. But trying to talk sense to a pakistani chest thumping crowd is kinda futile.

 

[Mugwop]

Looks like someone wants to use night as an advantage

 

[cerilchan]

Verysoon all the pak snipers wil be elimated

Indian army do have snipers. If an Indian sniper kill a Pakistani villager. Indian press will call it a successful surgical strike and declare a new national holiday.

first question comes to my mind, what are Indian snipers doing ? :/

 

[Armoured Division]

Actually out of 25 soldiers who lost their lives in past 2 months include only 13 soldiers(7 army 5 BSF) who died in pakistani firing(rest includes militant incidents along LoC and in Hinterland; Nagrota-7 Machil-3 Tangdhar Keran-1)
On the other hand at least 27 Pakistani soldiers killed in the same period of which at least 10 were by our snipers.Obviously there's no militant activity on their side.

I thought all Pakistani soldiers were killed by surgical strikes.
