The rifle which costs around US $6500 is one of the most modern
assault rifles available in the world.
Tavor uses the compact Bull pup design and has improved hit
accuracy.
The 2.8 kg dark green Tavor rifle is also designed for night fighting.
The army hopes that its ergonomics, reliability in heat and sand,
and fast-point/ fast-shoot design might give them an edge in close-
quarters shootouts and employment from inside vehicles.
In 2002 India signed a deal with Israel for the purchase of 3070
Tavor assault rifles worth US $ 20 million.
Israel too has replaced their Colt M4/M16 rifles with compact
Tavors.
After signing the deal, Israel Military Industries (IMI) had only
initially supplied 350-400 TAR-21s without grenade launchers to
India's northern Special Frontier Force (SFF).

IMI had also supplied around 130 Galil 7.62 sniper riles and around
450,000 rounds of ammunition to the SFF and the army for $1.4
million in 2005.
Georgia, Portugal and Israel are the only other countries that use
variants of the Tavor rifle.
