I don't know, but you'd better figure out the term in Nepalese and Khaskura as well. The Indian Army just ordered 20 million dollars worth of the things for their Gurkhas and paratroops, having found that the Kalishnikov-variant INSAS rifle that they produce themselves was not quite what they were after. The Turks have also been looking at a major Tavor purchase to go with the Merkava MkIV tanks they're considering, though the older Galil design, a bit heavy but reliable as an AK and certainly sturdy enough for use even by Turkish conscripts [using the FN-FAL up till now] as a bayonet platform, is also under consideration- Urra, Urra!

It'll be interesting to see how the TAVOR serves with an M203 mounted, something most bullpups are pretty miserable with [even the Brits are now issuing Canadian C7 carbines for use with the blooper rather than try to hang them onto their discredited L85A1 Individual Weapons.] But the Tavor was said to have been designed with a UGL attachment in mind, though the Indians may go with the Soviet-pattern GP25 40mm UGL systems instead.

And Tavors are turning up in greater numbers in Bosnia as well, with another sale there, as even in subzero weather they work, more than you can say for some aluminum-and plastic 5,56mm rifles....
