March 05, 2017
After nearly 20 years, indigenous manufactured INSAS rifles will be finally 'retiring' from the army and replaced by an imported assault rifle which will be manufactured in the country later.
The Indian Small Arms System, which was inducted in the army 1988, is likely to be replaced with deadlier assault rifles of higher caliber (7.62x51), official sources said.
