Indian Para SF Plan to Replacing M4 with IWI ARAD Assault Rifle
Defense News ,India :- India's top Parachute Special Forces (Para SF) are thinking about using a new rifle called the IWI ARAD. They might switch from their current M4 rifles to this one. This decision shows that Para SF wants to stay ahead in battles by using the best and latest weapons.
The IWI ARAD rifle, made by Israel Weapons Industries (IWI), is made to suit the different needs of soldiers, especially special forces like Para SF.
One cool thing about this rifle is that it can shoot two types of bullets. It can fire the usual 5.56x45mm NATO rounds and also the .300 Blackout (BLK) bullets. These bullets are great because they are quiet when they're shot. This feature helps soldiers in different situations during missions.
The ARAD rifle can be changed and adjusted to fit each soldier's liking and needs. It has a long rail on top where soldiers can attach different sights, scopes, and other things. There are also rails on the handguard where soldiers can attach grips, lights, and lasers.
The ARAD rifle is made for comfort and efficiency. It has a buttstock that can be adjusted in length. This means soldiers of different sizes can use it comfortably. It helps them perform well whether they're fighting in close range or from far away.
One big problem soldiers face is their guns not working well in tough conditions like hot weather or sandy places. But the ARAD rifle has a special system called a short-stroke gas piston system. This makes sure the rifle works well even in harsh conditions.
Right now, Para SF uses older M4 rifles. Switching to the IWI ARAD rifle would be a big change for them. But the ARAD rifle offers a lot of benefits. It can shoot different types of bullets, it can be changed according to each soldier's liking, it's comfortable to use, and it works well even in tough conditions.
The Indian Army is looking at the IWI ARAD to see if it's a good choice for Para SF. This shows that the Indian Army wants to give the best and most modern weapons to its special forces. They want them to have an advantage in wars that are always changing.
