ALT1: ... that the Trichy assault rifle was made to reduce dependence on purchasing the Bulgarian AR-M1 under Atmanirbhar Bharat?

@Ominae: Just noting that this badly needs a copyedit and I have tagged this accordingly.--Laun chba ller 11:40, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
But on the other hand, I review oldest first, so it's this or something 5,000 words bigger, so I carried it out myself. This would still deserve {{lead too short}} but that's not a DYK issue. This is long enough and new enough. Earwig is clean. Your QPQ is sorely lacking in specifics, although as it seems to have gone through without a hitch I'll accept it. I don't consider ALT0 interesting (it's always going to be named after something) and ALT1 doesn't quite check out (it may have reduced imports but I don't see where either source says it was developed for that reason). I can suggest ALT2: ... that one police force tested the Trichy assault rifle in mud, rain, and saltwater before ordering? but I'd need to request another reviewer and I'll hear other suggestions.--Laun chba ller 12:35, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
