India to receive 40,000 Negev LMGs early 2026

The Indian Army is getting 40,000 Negev light machine guns (LMGs) from an Israeli company called IWI.

These guns will be made in India by a company called PLR Systems, which is a team-up between IWI and Adani Defence.

The first batch will arrive early next year, and the rest will come over the next five years.

The Indian Army is also getting 4.25 lakh Close Quarters Battle (CQB) carbines from Bharat Forge and PLR Systems.

These guns will help soldiers fight better in close-range battles.

IWI is also talking about bringing a special gun system called Arbel to India, which helps soldiers aim better.

All these guns are being made in India as part of a program called 'Make in India'.
