MOD is moving slowly & carefully if they move to fast unions will create a lot of trouble

I wish we had a way to finish this union culture. Seriously, what do these people do? They have only become a hurdle for progress even within defence establishment.

Ironic, Unions were formed to protect the interest of the workers & now all these unions are just damaging the interest of the workers

Workers don't care about work, especially in majority of the government units.

They strike for privatization of airports, they strike for corporatization of national maha-ratna companies, they protest for every single nonsense.

All they want is guaranteed salary and job with infinite holidays.

Have you seen people is the FCI

Come up with ways to cut FCI loss: SC to govt | The Indian Express


“The report shows that in August 2014, 370 labourers received more than Rs 4 lakh in salary. Around 400 others got between Rs 2 lakh and 2.5 lakh in the same month. Can a labourer earn Rs 4.5 lakh? How is that possible? This is resulting into a loss of Rs 18,000 crore to the public exchequer,” said the bench

Sourcing more weapons from Pvt sector will fix these idiots up

Doesn't it feel sad to see these designs without a shred of ingenuity.Being an firearms enthusiast, just flat out saddens the copies of Ak's and AR's and now even the MP. Hopefully this will improve in the future.

OFB is actually known to do that. Did that with the FAL way back. Personally dont care, it's their way of cutting into some of the police, etc forces that use MP5s and AKs.

The bad part is that OFB is using same material with in it's older 9mm. No other light materials to reduce it's weight in that MP5 copy. So it ends up weight the same as the MCIWS.

remember few years ago our sfs were equipped like this.

i think length of mciws too long to put any use in cqb.

MCIWS might be renamed, "Advanced Assault Rifle". You partially see two different stock designs of it behind the man.

Bottom right board partially shows a new grenade launcher for assault rifles, looks like it has a pistol grip.

The bottom left shows the cornershot equivalent.

You can see parts of the MCIWS on the table.


All the new models seem to not have foldable iron sights.

It seems it has a new designate - "Advanced Assault Rifle".

I'm getting the feeling that the upcoming Mountain Strike Corps will be the first to implement F-INSAS in a big way. The AAR, new camouflage, BPJs, helmets etc. Also could be the first to induct the M777 howitzers, and the Army LCH variant.

2020, here we come!
