Last year, the Indian Army rejected an Indian-made rifle for the second year in a row after it reportedly failed quality tests. Locally made products like Arjun tanks, light combat aircraft and even bullet-proof jackets often can’t be used on the sensitive or Pakistan borders because of performance issues.

去年，据说测试失败后，印度军队连续第二年拒绝了印度国产步枪。
如阿琼坦克、轻型战斗机，甚至防弹夹克这样的印度国产武器，都无法部署在敏感的中印边境和印巴边境上。
