Seriously???? We use weapons of dead terrorists?why? Better use is to resupply the weapons to Baloch fighters
You didn't know this ? Virtually all our AK family/based weapons, with the exeption of the upcoming AK-203, are recycled weapons.
Why not ? Its free & it works. In a CI/CT op, if an operator runs out of ammo he can get ammo from dead terrorists. You can't do that if you are using a non AK rifle. The surge of these weapons with us happened around the 90s and 2000s. As the Pakistanis pushed more yahoos in India, more died, leaving behind more weapons. The modernisation of the IA has been stuck for years and the Army realised that the AKs were simply better at short to medium range than the INSAS. So they decided to utilise the terrorist weapons.
Recently, Army has planned to upgrade all of these guns in a phased manner. That's where the FAB defence modified guns come from. These old rifles are the base on which FAB mods are being run. Of course not all guns are modified yet.
That work is of intelligence agencies not Army. The Army did what they had to considering the situation back then.

The military exercise will be undertaken by the Sudarshan Chakra Corps of the Southern Army.
According to sources, more than 40,000 troops will be participating in the exercise to hone their combat skills and validate their deep-strike capabilities in the deserted area.
The exercise aims to validate the battle readiness and operational effectiveness of Sudarshan Chakra Corps in an integrated air, land battle scenario.
The exercise will showcase tanks and other armoured vehicles duly supported by overwhelming land and air-based firepower.
The exercise is being conducted under simulated battlefield conditions aimed at implementing surveillance and the mechanisms to validate the operational plans.
With an emphasis on joint operations, the exercise would test sensor to shooter grids by employing surveillance and air assets networked with land-based operational and tactical vectors, in addition, to manoeuvre by mechanised formations.
The exercise will showcase the seamless integration between armoured, mechanised infantry, infantry, artillery, air force resources as well as the special forces.
The combined arms cohesion will be on display with the integrated employment of mechanised forces with the newly inducted K-9 Vajra (Self Propelled Artillery Gun System) and indigenous Advanced Light Helicopter (Weapon Systems Integrated) 'Rudra' with innovative tech skills and prowess of IA as a Network Centric Force.

Any idea about Helina on Rudra ... it's been under testing for more than a decade...
Theoretically it is ready for deployment. There are some logistical issues to straighten up and of course budgetary constraints are there. Once those are sorted we should see orders. As for how long will that take, your guess is as good as mine.
The NAG being declared ready for serial production will ease the way for helina.
