Is this ATAGS on 8x8 platform? Or somebody pushing the European model.

Ukraine war has de-emphasized the need for fixed artillery. Now emphasis is on highly mobile artillery with quick shoot and scoot capability. On top of large scale availability of flying drones with AI capability has made artillery very vulnerable. Hence truck mounted artillery is need of the...

The MBRL have, I believe scored a battlefield advantage with HMARS scoring big in Ukraine. It is becoming a preferred weapon for artillery to cover the 90 to 250km gap which tube artillery cannot cover. Now even Taiwan is getting this weapon to reach Chinese shores during the battle. I believe...

All changes to sabotage the ATAGS gun and favour the Israeli gun purchase.

I believe you but work order has not materialized. I hope it does in next three months.

A bunch of nonsense….. ; too much inferiority complex. Remember one of the second or third highest ranking retired Army officer of Indian Army in-charge of Northern Command called Chinese army in Tibet and Sinkiang as a blunt weapon. That is true. So have confidence in yourself and not in the...

Is that 105 mm artillery gun on wheels; is it the same gun which was in the news two years back as ‘go anywhere gun’? It was highly recommended then as mobile firepower which will go to the mountains and deliver a big punch by the forward troops. Why did it took so long for the Army to decide...

This is one of the many times we have come across the news that long range artillery (ATAGS) is being ordered. No work order materializes……. This news item is also similar. We will believe it when work order is placed and production begins.

Thank you for rebutting point by point the the “Blood+” post. I like it the way you have gone point by point to answer his inferiority complex. He appears the be too young and hired as internet salesman by the arms merchants. I very much doubt that he has even seen the business end of the...

I am curious to figure difference of a a 50 km Artillery shell, a 300km rocket and a 300km missile. For a battle to be fought by India in the near future either on the western front or on the northern front, which is more useful and important for the commander in the field , taking into...

‘Do not believe you…….

Can somebody explain what caused the Army to delay ordering of ATAGS artillery guns. Improvement on first edition are always forthcoming. None of the western military hardware came out 100% right on the first attempt. Improvements is a continuous process. Who bribed whom and in whose favour to...

‘Now your turn to answer a question by Flying Dagger that is “ What is difference between Rocket and Missile”.

‘Purpose is same to catch the enemy unaware and destroy him at long range. Both LORA and HIMARS do the same although technology is different. Somebody more knowledgeable is needed to comment whether which one is more reliable and accurate. Which one will be easily manufactured in India. On top...

A new artillery system (LORA) from Israel is being discussed with a missile range of 90 to 430Km. It will be manufactured in India under collaboration with Israel. It outdoes US successful system of HIMARS...

Let us argue against the Army decision to bypass ATAGS Mounted system cannot match the range of a towed system artillery. The case in point is towed ATAGS and the mounted artillery on a special truck. Moreover nobody has analyzed the weight factor of the mounted system together with truck...

Atamnirbhar is the highest priority.

‘Just appoint the right COAS which is in the government’s power and he will do the rest.

‘If it is entirely Army’s choice then ATAGS is on the back burner. But the government and especially the PM will not let that happen. It will be back as Army’s top choice. A few head honchos in the Army’s purchase department will get transferred or retired. Worst case scenario the person who...
