  1. god…when is the iaf going to get its elite soldiers some real weapons…what r they doing wid the insas..

  2. i this pic they have no helmet protection what is the airforce thinking ,is it that they have steel skull and also armour jacket in not present in the region below neck why i it so. shiv can yo please bring this thing to the knowledge of higher authrorities.lives may be lost because of this.

  3. the INSAS isn't a good gun at all … lots of issues, especially related to sub-standard steel from SAIL … lots to tell, but can't as some people close to me will get in trouble 🙁

  4. These buggers don't have brain of what… posting such useless comments… always talking about benchmarks, following this & that countries standards…… Every thing is relative depending upon the requirement & the circumstances.

    Tell them to wear a Helmet, Gloves and Armour in Thar desert in Pokhran for performing Guard duty…. 🙂

  5. Why are these Garudas carrying these INSAS and why not HK416 or FN F2000 & tavor which are being used by Indian forces.These orange rifles should either be upgarded or better be kept for the paramilitary forces only.

    Shiv you should bring up this issue,else these guys will die protecting the country using these low performance weapons.

  6. they surely dont hav a good physiq….so what even bruce lee didnt have 18 or 19 " biceps…its about how you react to a situation…

  7. All: Please read what I've written in the post. These INSAS rifles are NOT standard issue. These Garuds borrowed these rifles from a local unit. They didn't being their AK-47s with them. The Garuds are either way in line to receive new ARs shortly.

  8. hey Shiv hey borrowed the INSAS , id the IAF so short of budget that they cant afford to buy sofisticted ARs.

  9. 'borrow' ak-47?…gr8..if they are borrowing in peace..imagine what will happen in war…btw, they need to have something better anyway…tavor etc…
