India Today gets exclusive access inside the Indo-Russian Rifle Private Limited factory in Korwa, Amethi, where the AK-203 assault rifle is being manufactured. This joint venture between India and Russia is a significant step in the 'Make in India' initiative, with a target to achieve 100% indigenization by December this year. Currently, 48,000 rifles have been delivered to the Indian Army, with another 7,000 scheduled for delivery by August 15th. The project, part of a ₹5000 crore contract, aims to produce over 6 lakh rifles for the army. The 100% indigenous rifle will be named 'Sher'. Major General S K Sharma, the CMG of the facility, stated, "We are making a rifle which is the best in the world, Kalashnikov AK-203." The plan is not just to manufacture for India but also for other countries, embodying the vision of 'Make for the World'. #ak203 #makeinindia #indianarmy #itwebvideos #indiatodayexclusive #amethi #korwa #defence #assaultrifle #madeinindia #indiarussia #selfreliantindia #indiandefence #kalashnikov #sherrifle #indiatoday
