TATA's upgraded Pinaka launcher
The recent Tatra scam and TATA version of Pinaka MBRL carrier :hmm:

wow TATA now seems to have sport a Central Tire Inflation System :thumb:

I would be happier if the new vehicle had been designed for 16 missiles instead of the current 12.

Well actually TATA always made the PINAKA launcher along with L&T and DRDO as part of a GOI sponsored tech transfer deal , TATRA was utilized as the carrier vehicle for the previous version as we did not have a homegrown solution to a proper 8x8, now that we have solutions from both TATA and Ashok Leyland we could be seeing a shift in the TEL make as well.
Also for the record the vehicle in the Pic is a TATRA product(TO BE SPECIFIC THE TATRA 813 8X8), the Launcher mounted on it is an upgraded launcher from TATA strategic electronics, also the range of PINAKA has been increased to 70kms.

Guys, it would be a good idea to upload pics directly to DFI's server. These free image sharing sites may delete content.

Goto advanced reply and attach images, instead of using IMG tags

Okie Big scoop from DEFEXPO, TATA has developed a new mounted artillery system with DENEL( no less) it's basically the DENEL T6 CONDOR gun that was originally developed for the IA before DENEL was banned, it is now mounted on the TATA 8X8 . also they are in the running to sell it to Indonesia with TATA supplyiing much of the electronics and targeting systems and the main Carrier vehicle before final integration in south Africa.

Also the BHIM will be back soon in the form of the Zuzana gun mounted on the ARJUN MK 2 turret i got this from a PRO of DRDO no less( it helps to be insanely nosy). Arty is looking good folks.
I have a video of the TATA gun will upload ASAP.
This is probably the best piece of news for the Indian Artillery Program :hail:. Now again I sincerely hope this is not an April fools joke :taunt1:
