Argentina has officially unveiled the Israeli-made Arad 5 and Arad 7 rifles, manufactured by IWI (Israel Weapon Industries), as part of a program to upgrade its soldiers' personal weaponry. These rifles, already in use by the IDF and security forces globally, were selected for their reliability, accuracy, and modularity. The Arad platform, based on the AR system, features a short-stroke gas piston, ambidextrous controls, and a cold hammer-forged floating barrel, ensuring high precision even under demanding conditions. The rifles supplied to Argentina are equipped with Meprolight's M5 reflex sights, which utilize LED technology and a ruggedized design to provide thousands of hours of operation on a single AA battery, adapting to various lighting conditions and night vision use. The Arad rifles' selection by Argentina adds to their existing deployment with the IDF, Israeli security forces, and numerous international military and law enforcement agencies. The rifle's modular design and ergonomic features allow for extensive customization to meet specific operational requirements.
