At a time when terrorist groups operating in India are likely to find weapons left by US troops in Afghanistan, the Indian Air Force (IAF) has ordered 70,000 AK-103 assault rifles from Russia under emergency provisions to replace its existing INSAS rifles.<\/p>\n

An agreement has been signed to acquire. The Indian Air Force is in need of more than 1.5 lakh new assault rifles and the new AK-103 rifles are expected to come into service in the next few months which will strengthen its ability to better deal with terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n

Government sources told news agency ANI, “A contract worth about Rs 300 crore was signed last week under emergency provisions to buy 70,000 AK-103 assault rifles from Russia.” These weapons will be first handed over to the soldiers in sensitive airports as well as in plain areas like Jammu and Kashmir, Srinagar.<\/p>\n

The next part of the weapons requirement will be met after India and Russia sign an agreement to simultaneously produce the more advanced AK-203 within India. The contract for AK-203 assault rifles is being developed under the Army, which needs about 6.5 lakh rifles to strengthen the firepower of its soldiers.<\/p>\n

A small portion of the IAF’s weapons requirement was met through the acquisition of around 4,000 Sig Sauer assault rifles, which have been procured by the Indian Army as part of a larger contract<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
