Dada, is this the same as the Metamorphosis IOB M46 FG or a newer gun? Is Karan 155x45 or 155x52 or is it in its original 130mm configuration?
Kalyani is offering same Soltam upgrade. Kalyani has a tie up with Elbit, parent company of Soltam.

Hey @Kunal this is exact what i was wondering looking at DHANUSH with a 45 caliber gun if they remove all the automatic loader and crane and APU they can give our Armed forces with a pretty decent gun comparable to M777 if not the better

Kalyani 155mm of 39cal



The system is projected and its influenced by M777 ..

I don't know if this is concept CGI or photo of a prototype.

However, apart from the ordinance, the rest of the system (wheels, suspension, trailer, legs, cradle, recoil etc.) seems to be thinner/leaner/lighter. Inspite of that, if this ULH weighs a ton more than the M777, then they must not be using an all titanium construction.

And, if Baba Kalyani can retain the same basic design and make an all titanium construction, I think we might have a gun even lighter than the M777 (by maybe half a ton).

Really Awesome :thumb: Looks India will become a global hub for Howitzers if Govt gives a nod for private players on producing 155mm Howitzer

Even Dhanush looks top class , hope soon it gets inducted:thumb:

Kalyani , BMP 2 upgrade is classy , but will the IA give the upgrade contract to Indian company:taunt1: or simply go to the russians who are good at cost escalation & delays:hail:

Defence ministry should change policy and give preference to Indian company:thumb:
