Dikhate hain AK! kharid diya jata hain western unreliable rifle jo soldiers ke life ko khatre me daal dega... Indian defence expert are very cunning they know soldiers and people will support AK. But they will show ak in media and do something else
The only real disadvantage of the AK-203 compared with M4 type weapons is that the ammunition for the AK is heavier and the magazines are bulkier, so a soldier with the AK will not be able to carry as much ammo as one armed with the M4. Also, an M4 type weapon is faster to reload because the bolt is held open on the last shot. The AK-203 can easily mount any modern accessory in terms of optics or lights, so the M4 has no advantage there. The ergonomics of the AK-203 with its folding adjustable stock also are very useful. The big advantage of the AK-203 is the ease of maintenance and the ability to operate with minimal maintenance if necessary. Plus the 7.62x39mm round is a better practical fighting round leaving aside the weight/bulk disadvantage I noted earlier. Within 200 meters - where most small arms engagements take place - the 7.62x39mm has superior terminal performance compared with common 5.56x45mm loadings in terms of prompt knockdown power and penetration. Within 100 meters, the 7.62x39mm is better than even the best 5.56x45mm loadings. I am a peacetime US Army infantry vet myself, but I have known many combat veterans and most of them will agree that 7.62x39mm is a better fighting cartridge than 5.56x45mm. This is what I have heard from these veterans of Iraq and/or Afghanistan time and again. India did not make a bad decision in this instance. They opted for a practical, proven infantry weapon. I think they were being very sensible.
