Indian Army to order 72,000 assault rifles from United States amid border row

[beijingwalker]

Has anyone else also noticed India's weapon buying/acquisition psychology showing as media frenzy whenever any conflict occurs ?

If they had the same psychology for building up their own weapon building industries, today's India can be very different. Still can't digest why India can not even build their own rifles for their army.

All fake, we all know Cisco came into existence from copy catting Huawei innovation

But we were just asking why Indians can't make your for rifles. Lolol, why so triggered mate.

I m with Chinese side on this case.

It does not matter they copy or what. The matter is that they can copy and make in in-house.

Have you remember the incident when huwawei copied CISCO code , they even copied the intentional bug from CISCO ...copy cats:

In 2003, Internet equipment market leader Cisco Systems filed a lawsuit against Huawei, accusing the Chinese company of a “systematic and wholesale infringement of Cisco’s intellectual property.” Cisco accused Huawei of stealing the software code for Cisco’s Versatile Routing Platform routers. Routers are the key “intelligence” inside the global Internet, directing billions of Internet bits and bytes down the right path at blazingly fast speeds.

What does Cisco/Huawei have to do with this article? @beijingwalker is correct ... why does India, a country with some 60 billion dollar budget and the 2nd largest military in the world have to import over 70k foreign assault rifles? It should be said that making competent firearms is one of the most basic requirements for an indigenous arms industry ... far easier than making aircraft or ships. This really shows a gaping hole in the Indian MIC which appears to only be growing larger. If you cannot make basic weaponry like firearms, howitzers, or parachutes, how in the world are you going to make much more sophisticated systems?

Just a few months ago, Indians were angury that Chinese auto Geely is steal the design of Indian's auto Tata Nexon.
But the fact is Geely's Maple is designed in 2016,and just changed the logo to sell to India.
And Tata Nexon is mostly like a copy of China's Chery Tiggo3 which designed in 2015..

Who cares if it is a copy - if it fires and goes through an Indian skull with 95% combat effectiveness versus the Insas.. Ill take the copy anyday.

It doesn’t matter where the weapon came from, what matters is its killing effectiveness.

This thread is not about Chinese copying, its about why India can't produce a decent rifle until today. It reflects badly on India technology. Imagine you need to buy artilerry shells from US, I mean in a real war, can you wait for 4 months delivery? Lol

In a hot war, I highly doubt Russia would supply India with many weapons at all to antagonize China .... so basically a majority of Indian weapons are irreplaceable. That is why I always say a protracted war of attrition would actually in China's advantage because the Indians aren't able to replace material losses.

Why India can not even make their own rifles?

Yes, when you look at advanced militaries of other countries, India should be making assault rifles like AK-47

 

[danger007]

They even copied Bajaj Pulsar ............................

see the cheepo chinese copy

You are wrong don't be jealous... they copied with vast upgrade.... this bike comes with hidden weapon bay...

 

[Taskforce]

Come on man. Even Chinaman can produce their own rifles. I thought India had national gun.

There is only one conclusion : India does not have the capacity to reverse engineer weapons systems. I guarantee you they have tried, I guarantee it ... that would be the sensible way for any nation that is super behind in military technology. And clearly we know what the outcome of this attempt is. The Indian gov's military procurement policy isn't helping either ...

There has not been a single country in history that has not stolen/copied and become a major power. As Steve Jobs said, good artists copy, great artists steal.

The Indians talk about wars as if going for a shopping spree...
