India Test-Fires Fully Homegrown AK-203 'Sher' Assault Rifle

India has successfully test-fired the AK-203 assault rifle named 'Sher', marking a significant step toward domestic weapons manufacturing.

The development signals India's growing push toward self-reliance in defence production under its broader indigenisation drive.
