Use of Chinese systems and atgm by Pak army

After the Indian army acquisition of the israeli spike 3rd gen fire and forget atgm Pakistani army rushed for buying a Chinese ATGM with a similar spec. The chinese side then broke news that it has sold its red arrow 3rd gen atgm to a foreign customer. Back then it was doubted that the buyer was Pakistan and they had done this to counter the Indian atgm. In pictures are red arrow 12, red arrow missile and red arrow 10b. Red arrow is a family of chinese atgm with various atgm chinese offer Red arrow 12 is the chinese 3rd gen javelin copy system Red arrow 10 missile is a wire guided with a seeker configuration Red arrow 9 is an older beam rider which means it attacks a target which is lit by a laser designator or a beam. The reports suggest that pakistani side has tried using this against Indian posts but the results have been very poor, once the missile performance is not even near to claims and it has not engaged the Indian post. Once it destroyed a tar...

MCIWS - Multi Caliber Individual Weapon System THE FUTURE COMBAT RIFLE OF INDIAN ARMY

MCIWS In my pervious two posts good indigenous rifle still a dream for indian army & army dumps excalibur rifle says needs more lethal gun I discussed why India still has not provided a good indigenous gun to Indian army. I pointed the problems and how the army is in love with imported weapons and some high rank corrupt officials do not want to use indigenous guns and sabotage & delay those projects so that they can make money out of weapon deals. In this post I am going to write about a gun which is called MCIWS which has the potential tobe the standard issue rifle of the Indian Army. Multi Caliber Individual Weapon System (MCIWS) is a new assault rifle developed by ARDE Pune which is a wing of DRDO. This gun was unveiled by DRDO at Defence Expo in 2014. As the name tells this is not just a rifle but a multicaliber weapon system which means that is capable of firing a variety of rounds. MCIWS assault rifle is configured to fire in 5.56 NATO, 7...

RAFALE DEAL - BREAKING THE DEAL

RAFALE FIGHTER Few weeks ago a much awaited intergovernmental deal was finally inked between India and France for acquisition of 36 Rafale fighters. The deal costs 7.8 billion euros or about 58,000 crore INDIAN RS. The negotiations for the deal started about 18 months ago when PM MODI visited France and started this intergovernmental deal for acquisition of 36 fighters. The initial price which France was asking for was 12 billion euros which India side after negotiations bought down to 7.8 billion euros, and saved about 4.2 billion euros or around some 30,000 crore Indian rupees. After this deal was signed a lot of posts were seen floating on social media and I too came across many posts which claimed that it's some kind of SCAM and the fighters are being bought at very very high rates. Some posts by experts suggested that the cost of single Rafale is around 700 crore rupees but MODI govt is buying it at price more than double of that at around 1600 crore rupees and that...

Army's RFI for 7.62x51 mm Standard Issue Rifle

In my last post "NEW STANDARD ISSUE RIFLE FOR ARMY - THE ENTIRE STORY" (link to post) I discussed how for years army has been trying to induct a new standard issue rifle but has failed due to their inability to stick with the desired requirements they quote, to be true army till now had so much expectations from a standard issue rifle that no single weapon in world could fulfill all their requirements. Also till now army was unable to decide the caliber which it required, at times they wanted one which uses 5.56 mm and then they wanted a gun which can fire a 7.62 mm round & they even tried to induct multi-caliber guns which can fire various caliber rounds by just changing the barrel and upper receiver & wanted the ability to do the change in a few minutes but no weapon was able to fulfill such requirements or pass the stringent tests which IA threw at them as part of trials. DRDO offered army many options and developed many rifles for army considering the quoted r...
