**************************************************************************
India has achieved a major milestone in defence manufacturing and Atmanirbhar Bharat with the successful test-firing of the first 100% indigenous AK-203 ‘Sher’ rifle at the Korwa Ordnance Factory in Amethi, Uttar Pradesh. This session explains what makes the AK-203 Sher significant, how it strengthens India’s defence self-reliance, and why its complete indigenisation matters from a UPSC Current Affairs perspective.
In this video, we explain the journey of the AK-203 from licensed production to complete indigenisation, with every component and input material of the latest prototype sourced from Indian industry. The discussion also covers its role in replacing the INSAS rifle, the India-Russia defence manufacturing partnership, Make in India, defence production, technology transfer, localisation of supply chains, and Atmanirbhar Bharat. The rifle is now being prepared for Indian Army trials scheduled for September 2026. 
This topic is highly relevant for UPSC Prelims and UPSC Mains, especially under Science & Technology, Defence, Internal Security, Indian Economy, Defence Manufacturing, Make in India, Atmanirbhar Bharat, India-Russia Relations, and Current Affairs. It is also useful for State PCS and other competitive examinations.
Stay connected with Drishti IAS English for comprehensive and exam-oriented analysis of important developments in Defence, Science & Technology, Economy, International Relations, and Governance.
