    There's no point in trying to educate that pig vomit. He's here just to rile up everyone and become the center of the attraction. Have you seen the quantum of posts (that too looong ones) he does on this forum? He's some senile guy dejected with life and rejected by everyone around him!

    The amount of BS you're able to spew makes me worry about you...perhaps you need to get yourself checked. Just a friendly advise.

    Cost of a howitzer: ~$5-$7 million Cost of a truck : ~$150K So, what would a smart person optimize on? Buy 2000 howitzer, but skimp by buying only 50 trucks?? Enough of this BS about towed gun being towed by donkeys & bulls!! ATAGS is not a (short range) tiny mortar firing device or a tiny...

    Dude! As usual you need to say something basic and feel good about yourself? You could say all the inane stuff without responding to my post! Also, I specifically compared towed guns to truck-mounted/wheeled guns. Why on earth are you telling me about the cons of a 'tracked' gun. You just felt...

    Titanium in mineral form is abundant in India (and everywhere else). It's just that the refining process is very complex and expensive. India has finally been able to succeed in the refining process. So going forward there may be a good amount of titanium products.......even though I don't...

    To understand that, you need to inspect the ravines of the Kashmir mountains, where several Bofors (towed guns) presently find as their resting place. 'Truck mounted guns' (not heavy tracked like K9) will find it easier to traverse the circuitous mountain roads. If you've never towed anything...

    I am glad I am able to help clarify the concepts of weight, size and complexities to you. As regards to how your posts are insulting, I don't have the patience to educate you on mannerisms. I do hope you'll go back several posts yourself and reflect upon your choice of words (instead of...

    You must be the consummate idiot that ever lived on this planet! Congratulations on that distinction! Me, advertising ATAGS? Your numskulls is too weak to follow any of the cogent points I was making! You're like an annoying rat that scurries from point to point, but cannot hold ground...

    Hey numbnut! You should have considered the norms of decency before you hurled insults at me to hide your intellectual inadequacy! Your arguments are stupid to start with and annoying all the way! ATAGS for mountains? air lifted by helos? As I deduced earlier you didn't even bother to read...

    I am not saying Kalyani 'should' do something...I am saying that Kalyani is 'already doing' this stuff. It's a good thing if private sector is willing to invest in R&D and come up with superior products - there's nothing to scoff about. Also, I was saying instead of just relying on lighter...

    There're something called Truck mounted guns & Wheeled guns....which combine the towing and the gun into one system! Can you do math on how many bulls will be required to tow an ATAGS? I am not able to compute the horse power of a bull!! It's not a question of can Kalyani make or not...it's...

    Kalyani has been working on a 'special alloy' (aluminum based) guns that are supposed to be light. IMHO if Kalyani can crack the soft-recoil (or Hybrid recoil as they call it) technology then super light guns should be possible... Remember that despite the current order for M777s, there's...

    I should have known earlier itself that I am dealing with someone with an itchy finger on the trigger, and likely to pull it inside his pants! But then as it is wont to by nature, I give adequate benefit-of-doubt to let them crawl out of the pit of embarrassment! Firstly, I never said all guns...

    Unlikely in the near-medium term. 'Tracked Howitzer' category had only 100 as requirement per Artillery Field Rationalization plan - and the current order fully meets the requirement.

    Those mobility packs can only move it to adjust it's position in the firing pit.......it cannot move long distances. Towing such a large gun is not very conducive in mountainous and uneven terrain.........mounted guns, wheeled gun are are superior in that regard. That said, I am not going to...

    Just in case you forget to look at your calendar.........Kargill was fought 20 yrs ago!! (And Indian army wasn't the epitome of modernization even then.) What's next? You're going to show me the visuals of WWI and claim that Indian army should fight with bayonets? Towed guns work okay for...
