India inks another deal for 73,000 assault rifles from the US

India inks a deal for 73,000 SiG Sauer assault rifles from the US, supplementing an earlier purchase of 72,400 rifles. This Rs 837 crore procurement will equip troops along borders with China and Pakistan. Delays in producing AK-203 rifles in India have necessitated these acquisitions, though domestic production has now commenced.
