I thought they had an ammo shortage right now. What's with the mass buying of so many different guns? It's like they are asking for another logistical nightmare.
It's to replace Insas 5.56, read the article cmon
Great there are only like five other types of assault rifles in service.
As long as they all chamber the same round, I don't think handling the logistics should be too difficult
Those Indians need a good hammering. We are not ready to give it to them because we prefer stability to pursue domestic development.
There seems to be some noise recently about PLA employing sonic weapons near the disputed area, not just playing music but specifically devices designed to cause vomiting and nausea after a few hours of exposure. Specifically this video of 捍卫者 air raid siren is cited as evidence of such weapon.
Indians have been boasting in their media circus recently that they've finally managed to bypass the MTCR limit on their off-brand P-800 Oniks. If one assumes they're not lying (big assumption, I know), then the problem of defending fixed installations on the Plateau comes into play. I want to state unequivocally that if the balloon goes up, India will get its teeth punched down its throat, supersonic missiles or no supersonic missiles - but I consider China even bruising its knuckles to be a grievous loss.
An interesting idea would to deploy laser point defenses to airbases in Tibet where the thin, dry air would greatly mitigate the effects of atmospheric attenuation.

I don't blame them. The alternative would be like in the US, they build a number of units, then the corporation lays off the workers, destroys the tooling, and asks the government for another handout to design a new airplane for a gazillion when they need one more plane. I think I know what ends up cheaper in the end.
The French managed to build an airplane that works for their Air Force and the Navy with a reasonable amount of units on their own. Plus they managed to finance and roll out several upgrades on their own. Unlike, say, the Eurofighter consortium which despite having supposedly more economic heft behind it develops a bunch of upgrades which never get funded to be put into production.
