    Absolutely 0 chance, they basically start from zero and have to do new RFQs and such.

    DRDO 155mm Artillery Program

    DAC is the new CCS by the media spin now. Of course AONs are basically meaningless and plenty have had AONs but never materialise as a order over the years. CCS approval is at least 2-3 years away if at all again I wonder what is really going on here? Is 307 in addition to the 150 LSP cleared...

    Call me cynical but this is the IA we are talking about for any additional orders they’ll have to seek fresh approvals from DAC, this could just be another stall tactic to see if they can force about the ATHOS deal under an ‘emergency’ requirement This drip drip procurement method also...

    F&ck yes, do it NOW. ATAGS is a game changer for Indian industry Although 1000s are needed, 140 is a decent initial order. Modi govt doesn’t get much credit for this but they really are supporting domestic projects, they don’t make a big show about it but this isn’t like the UPA times when...

    IA placed orders for the AL FATs in late 2016, as you can see deliveries have commenced.
