India Arms Up With AK-203 “Sher,” A Rifle Made-In-India For Our Armed Forces

Описание: India Arms Up With AK-203 “Sher,” A Rifle Made-In-India For Our Armed Forces

India has released a new tactical video of the AK-203 rifle, officially renamed “Sher”, marking a major step in the country’s small-arms modernisation programme. The AK-203 is replacing the INSAS rifle that entered service in the 1990s and is now being produced at the Indo-Russian Rifles Private Limited (IRRPL) facility in Amethi, Uttar Pradesh. Under a ₹5,100-crore contract signed in 2021, India will manufacture over 6 lakh rifles domestically, with full indigenisation targeted for December 2025.

The rifle fires 7.62×39 mm rounds, delivers a firing rate of approx. 700 rounds per minute, and functions across all terrains. Production began in January 2023 after earlier delays due to pricing issues and COVID-19. IRRPL plans to deliver the entire order by December 2030, ahead of the original 2032 deadline.

The AK-203 ‘Sher’ will first be issued to frontline units deployed along the LAC and other sensitive borders. With growing interest from Nepal, African nations, Middle Eastern states, and Indian police forces, India is also preparing to enter the global small-arms export market once full localisation reduces costs.
