Even if it's one barrel per day, the ATAGS needs other components like batteries ,servos, wheels , displays , electronics and mechanical components.
No manufacturers produces them at rate of 1 per day. Kalyani won't transport 1 barrel per day in Omni van to the assembly line. :p

Work is done Rather in batches. I dont know which assembly line churns out one entire gun a day :p
There is peak efficiency and sustainable efficiency at work.
Even those can be made but it needs order from Indian Army and GOI paying for it at that brisk rate. We're limited with defence budget. But for war time requirements it can definitely be bumped up to 1 gun per day.........

The capacity to reach is 1000 guns a year it was achieved far long ago by many nations
US produced ten tanks and ten bombers a day world war itself

Does it poses a challenge now


Only thing is peace time military spending isn't good for a national health

All these ATAGS Dhanush Thunder, where will we use it? Considering we hardly even use Bofors on the LoC?

This leech of a DPSU has become too big, it needs to be segregated, defunded and its employees lessened.
Its a government department. Not a DPSU. It would actually perform better if it were a DPSU. So in effect, its systemic problems are considered t be worse than PSUs.:rofl:

When you buy gold ornaments you don't wear it every normal day, do you ?
The higher calibre weapons are meant for full blown wars.
Going by the logic then we will be nuking Pakistan everyday for ceasefire violations

We build huge war making capability but we have almost never initiated a war, even when its in our interest. We will spend 100s of billions on our equipments and man power, but Pakis will still get away with a Uri or Pathankot or worse a Mumbai.

The biggest weapon in a war is INTENT. We have lost that for more than a 1000 years.

The problem is now the contenders are more than two in this game. One US other China. The fools Pakis do not understand this. India can't allow US to take advantage of Kashmir issue and same time India has to counter China.
Whatever Amoghvarsha has said is correct and was workable till 2009. After that China and US started their game in Pakistan. Now India has lost the opportunity. And that opportunity is not going to come again.

There is no other option but to restrict to whatever is happening. Economy is must.

^ What the F is a gun tower?


No, I mean seriously. Its meant for para. Is it some kind of field arty tractor for ultra light howitzers?

The sane people should immediately move dhanush near LC and start firing. This will also test the real situation war capabilities of the maschine.

No. It would have been a topic for discussion here if IA was already using 155mm arty on LoC. Since IA is not doing that yet, your "suggestion" has less to do with trails of Dhanush and more to do with escalation control on LoC. Such a discussion is better moved to LoC thread (where the same discussion has taken place countless times before).
