We have requirement for nearly 1500 such guns, that is ultra light weight guns. And more so, when we start our airborne division.

660 millions could have been wisely spend on R&D in domestic industries itself to make big gun for now, and in future and forever :wtf:
Metallurgy is not child's play, if we invest today, expect the fruits in the level of M-777 by 2025. It is the materials in this particular gun that matter.

145 guns will hardly eqip 8 Field/Mountain/Medium Regiment.. Grossly insufficient. That is nt even 2-3 Brigades. Any idea which Field Art Truck is coming with the deal...?

So you are going to tell the Indian Army to hold on to 1960's guns or no guns, and you will tell the chinese to hold on till 2025?


I do get your point, like it or not, we need to spend money both, since our condition demands so. unfortunately.

If we were to invest USD 660 mil in local R&D though DRDO more that half of the amount would have been eaten up by and babus and politicians... Our government talks about FDI in retail and other sectors and all the hell breaks loose, but it would be prudent if they were to allow FDI in arms manufacturing,....

Any addition is good news as long as it is the first step and many more to follow.
