New Defence Proposal To Buy Small Arms And Weapons

Defence Proposal To Buy Small Arms And Weapons

Indian government has turned itself toward strengthening the Armed Forces and bringing more power to the forces. The government agencies are working hard to make India self-reliant in manufacturing. India has been seen involved in manufacturing and purchasing arms from other nations. But now India is on the way to take some effective steps toward the small arms possessed by the soldiers.

The Indian army has moved in a positive direction for a proposal for procuring new assault rifles, snipers, machine guns, light weight rocket launchers and night vision equipment. The deals will cost about Rs. 300 Cr and will be discussed in the meeting of Defence Ministry next week. Going deep in the proposal, the Indian government seems to be interested in the M4A1 rifle form U.S. to arm the paramilitary battalions of India.

The actual required of the arms is for the newly raised para battalions, which have less ammunition than the older para battalions. The sources have revealed that the officials have planned to buy above mentioned arms along with shotguns, pistols and parachutes. These arms will remove the void in the Special Force of Indian army that is considered for handling crucial operations and tasks.

M4A1 rifle

Recently Indian government has also released a proposal to the call global investors for new sniper rifle to replace its sniper used in the army. The proposal was to induct new and advanced sniper rifles with more specifications and enhanced performance.
The proposal has the following requirements for the new sniper contract.

  • Range of the rifle should be 1200 m.
  • 8.6 mm bullets (India currently uses 7.6 mm bullets).

The proposal is for the purchasing of 5,000 rifles that would have about 50% more range than the currently used Russian sniper Dragunov. The Indian army has also asked for the manufacturing of the rifles in India to support Make in India and will also be a crucial step in indigenous manufacturing.

As far as the allegations of induction of Excalibur are concerned, the rifle is chosen as a replacement of the currently using assault rifles, till the forces don’t get a new imported rifle. Excalibur rifle is the indigenously produced assault rifle made to replace the old assault rifles. The rifle is produced by the Ordinance Factory of India and is an upgraded version of the INSAS rifle, which uses 5.56mm bullets. The Indian Armed Forces have lost interest in the Excalibur and now aiming at foreign advanced rifles that will raise the targeting power and reduce the life loss of soldiers.

Conclusion

Guns are always termed as the best friend of a solider and an efficient gun doubles the power of the soldier. The new and enhanced technology driven arms have made certain changes in the Armed Forces. The procurement, updates and modernisation of weapons and arms have been the top priority of the defence ministry. With the emerging pressure front he neighbouring nations, Indian Armed Forces have pointed toward the strengthening of the Armed Forces looking beyond the vision to modernise them.

Officers In The Indian Military See A ‘Spike’ In Premature Retirements

premature-retirements

In what could be termed as a shocking outcome of the 7th CPC and OROP, the number of officers who opted to retire before superannuation has gone up in all three services this year. These cases of premature retirements have spiked up since 2009!

It may be recalled that there was a consecutive decline in the number of premature retirements (PR) since 2013. According to the Ministry of Defence, the number of premature retirements in the Army till the end of May this year has increased to 64 now.

Navy’s data shows till date, in the current year, 135 cases of premature retirements have been received. This has been the highest since 2009!

In a leaked note, Commodore Rajesh Dhankar, Principal Director of Personnel, Indian Navy, predicted a continuation in the present trend of ‘increase in the number of PR requests.’

Causes and Control Steps For Premature Retirements:

premature-retirements-orop

Service conditions and monetary benefits remain the prime reason for officers leaving early. Another reason being cited is the implementation of the 7th CPC for which the officers were waiting in the hope to get a better pension package.

This is because when a pay commission is about to be awarded, those who’ve been wanting to go also extend their service because one’s pay gets revised and it has a direct fallout on the pension they will draw.

This reversal of trend comes even when the Armed Forces are facing a continuing shortage of officers.

Navy is considering some steps to make it difficult for the officers to retire due to the provisions of the seventh pay commission.

The Navy said that they have no problem if officers who see no future in the force want to resign. However, they have to ensure it does not happen in a way that important positions remain unmanned.

In the latest attack on the Indian Soldiers in J&K, three jawans were martyred when their administrative convoy was incessantly attacked by militants in Pampore on the Srinagar-Jammu highway.

At the site of the ambush, in addition to the Army, there was the CRPF on Road Opening duty and the Jammu and Kashmir police’s Special Operations Group (SOG).

The Army was unable to fire in return as it was a civilian area and there were people around taking advantage of which, the militants fled from the spot.

Pampore District
Pampore is a Tehsil in J&K’s Pulwama District

Two of the deceased personnel belong to 51 Rashtriya Rifles and the other is from 36 Rashtriya Rifles.

The area was cordoned off immediately after the attack and the security forces have recovered one AK magazine with 20 bullets in it until now. The J&K police and troops have launched a massive house to house search operation in the area to nab the attackers.

According to eye witnesses, the militants were riding motorcycles and the ambush lasted for about two minutes.

Army convoys have been attacked several times along this stretch of the highway which is used to carry supplies to the Srinagar-based 15 Corps that acts as the nerve centre to battle militancy in the valley.

This is the second major attack in Pampore this year after 8 CRPF troopers were killed in a similar ambush in June.

The number of gunmen involved in the attack is yet unknown, but they are believed to have been from the militant group Lashkar-e-Toiba.

Meanwhile, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti condemned the killing of the three jawans in Pampore and shared her sympathies with the deceased men’s families.
