Yes, I caught you red-handed :)
(your poor reading and writing skills explain why you live in a morass of misconceptions!)
You've no idea what you're talking...you just love the sound of your keyboard!
Do you have any justification for your claim about 'forging rocket tubes....to withstand high...
Why are you posting news articles from a year ago??
Are you just catching up on news? slow reader?
Can you do your vintage readings by yourself and come on this forum when you caught up with the current?
Unlike an self aggrandizing idiot like yourself, I had admitted that I mis-typed the post, and even deleted the post! But of course, a'holes like you don't care about facts!
What I wanted to say earlier was that rockets are NOT launched from ENCLOSED TUBES! The exhaust is vented from the back -...
What type of an idiot are you? The shameless type, I guess!!!
I quoted that line too to buttress what I've been saying in all posts - that L&T CAN acquire the barrel forging equipment if it chooses to. But right now, it's not!!
So, you swung from 'L&T is forging barrels' to 'L&T can forge in...
You never get off your vanity bandwagon, do you?
L&T is building most of the damn howitzer (K9). Of course, there will be ToT!
Where in the article is it being mentioned that the gun barrel is also forged by L&T?? You make assumptions and make a fool of yourself!!
When I've time later I'll...
There're multiple types of forging. One can safely assume that L&T has sheet metal and rod forgings.
Barrel forging requires different equipment.
As I said earlier, it's not out of reach for a company like L&T to acquire barrel forging equipment (when required).
That said, a lot of people will...
Where does it say that L&T is making 'gun barrels'?? You just made that (wrong) assumption....like you always do!!
L&T does make several 'systems' that go into the towed/self-propelled artillery (ATAGS & K9)!
FYI...wrt K9 Vajra, both the gun barrel and breach block are imported from Korea!
Right now.....no! OFB & Kalyani are the only two.
But then, any big company with capital (L&T etc) could buy artillery forging tools from abroad (just as Kalyani did few years ago).
Don't get so obsessed with the production capacity alone; you need to consider IA's ability to make annual payments too!!
Tata & L&T each produce about 100 a year...which is 200 in total costing around $1 Billion (a year). Even if Tata & L&T can output 2000 a year IA won't be able to make a...
ECRA is a wide program that also includes enhancements to the M777 gun. They did add 6 feet to the barrel length.
But you're right that ATAGS and ECRA program cannot be compared as ECRA is an exploratory project and NOT a for-sale product!
