AK-203 Assault Rifle Kit To Be Manufactured In Amethi, Handed Over To Indian Army
Amethi: Under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi, India is continuously
emerging as a self-reliant nation. The AK-203 assault rifles manufactured in
Amethi, Uttar Pradesh, is a shining example of this. Amethi is the same
district whose political identity was once from the Gandhi family, but now the
MP there is Smriti Irani and during this time Amethi has got a new identity.
Rajiv Gandhi was MP from the Amethi seat for 10 years, Sonia Gandhi for 5
years and then Rahul Gandhi for 15 years, but there was no significant change
in the condition of the area. Today, AK-203 rifles are being made with the
technical help of Russia in Amethi.

On Tuesday, August 16, the Indian Army also received its first consignment.
Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has handed over the first batch to the
Army. These rifles are being developed in collaboration with the Russian
government under the 'Make in India' initiative of the central government.
During the ceremony today, Army's F-INSAS soldier gave a briefing to Raksha Mantri on his new weapon systems and aids including the AK-203 assault rifle. The
complete gear of the F-INSAS system includes an AK-203 assault rifle. AK-203
is a Russian-origin gas-operated, magazine-fed, select fire assault rifle with
a range of 300 metre. The F-INSAS is planned to be manufactured in Amethi,
Uttar Pradesh, in a joint venture between Indian and Russian entities.
In the year 2019, PM Narendra Modi announced that the Amethi district of UP
will be identified with AK-203 rifles. However, today, after three years, PM
Modi's words have come true. The country's brave soldiers will now have an
AK-203 assault rifle in their hands.
AK-203 assault rifle is counted among the best rifles in the world. It will be
manufactured at the Ordnance Factory located in the Hindustan Aeronautics
Limited (HAL) Korwa campus in Amethi. At present, the production of 5 lakh
rifles has got the green signal. The construction work is under progress at a
rapid pace.
