NEGEV LIGHT MACHINE GUNS (LMGs)

March 4, 2021

The Army will begin inducting the first lot of 6,000 new Light Machine Guns (LMG) from Israel, with frontline troops on the borders set to receive them later this month.

About:

These are part of the 16,497 Negev LMGs contracted from Israeli Weapons Industry (IWI) in March 2020 under fast track procurement to meet the immediate requirement. The remaining guns in the order will be delivered by March 2022.
The contracted Negev 7.62X51 mm LMG is a combat proven weapon and currently used by several countries around the globe.
This LMG will greatly enhance the lethality and range of a soldier vis-a-vis the presently used weapon.
