Indian Army Artillery

Zuzana-2 seen in India may be trials year unknown....

Can Mounted Gun Systems (MGS) be developed in-house by Indian companies with help from DRDO ?

What's in favor now ?

We have a huge requirement of 814.

+ We already have Dhanush/ATAGS available now.

+ L&T is making 100 self-propelled (SP) tracked howitzers.

+ DRDO has earlier worked on BHIM SP.

IMHO, companies like L&T, TATA SED, Kalyani, Bharat Forge should work with DRDO and make it indigenously.

Does indias ATGS better than m777

 

[Kunal Biswas]

Its better than M777, In range, destruction as well as technologically ..

The only advantage M777 has its lesser weight, But both guns can be slung under helicopters.

[Kunal Biswas]

Everything is same except that Dhanush has shorter barrel than ATAGS and perhaps same weight or lighter than ATAGS, Technologically both guns are superior to M777, M777 is only exceptional in weight.

SIR IS TOWED ARTILARY GUNS ARE BETTER THAN SELF PROPELLED GUNS IN TERMS OF FIREPOWER AND ACCURACY.

@Kunal Biswas
Kunal bhai M777 is 1/3 ATAGS and that makes it east to transport when compared to ATAGS....

Can Chinook47 transport ATAGS with crew and required ammo in one go.....

No, Chinook47 can't transport ATAGS.

BTW, how many Chinook47can India afford to buy ? They cost above $50 millions.

ATAGS will be much cheaper compared to M777.. may be at 1/4 price with longer Range.

Both Guns are from different categories.

 

[Flame Thrower]

ATAGS cant be used in the mountain ranges...Remember How we transported the big guns during Kargil...

We need M777 to use in the mountains

If we have a helo to lift ATAGS and ammo, then we can buy 3 squds of these helos and use them for multi purposes transport, troop carrier and for lifting big guns and forget M777.....

Which mountain ranges ?

ATAGS is lighter than Bofors which was used in Kargil.

 

[Kunal Biswas]

They have same accuracy, Regardless its towed or self propelled ..

Chinook purchase is more related to SF use than carrying M777, MI-17V5 are the work horse for that purpose ..

Multiple MI-17V5 in one go can carry ATAGS in parts with ammunition and crew, ATAGS is lightest 52cal gun.

"India to showcase and Induct Indigenous Dhanush-155 mm gun at R-Day parade"

http://thehitavada.com/Encyc/2016/1...h-155-mm-gun-for-display-in-R-Day-parade.aspx

LONG-AWAITED induction of indigenously developed 155 mm 45 calibre Dhanush gun in the Indian Army is likely to be declared officially on the occasion of Republic Day.

Ministry of Defence has directed the Ordnance Factory Board, Kolkata, to prepare ‘Dhanush Gun’ for Republic Day function in New Delhi. “Gun Carriage Factory (GCF) administration has received order from Ordnance Factory Board, Kolkata, to prepare Dhanush-155 mm 45 calibre gun for display in Republic Day parade in New Delhi.

Complying with the order, the preparation process has begun and soon it will be transported to New Delhi for Republic Day function. A model of Dhanush gun was exhibited during Republic Day parade in 2015 and for the first time original Dhanush 155 mm artillery gun will be a part of the function,” informed Spokesman and Joint General Manager (JGM) of Gun Carriage Factory, Jabalpur, Sanjay Shrivastava

Sanjay Shrivastava informed that GCF has already received the order of production of 18 guns but information about its induction in the Indian Army is yet to be confirmed. The factory has already developed six of the 18 guns and rest will be completed during financial year 2017-18
