Yes. Pinaka MRLS is the system.
Based on information on HIMARS and PHL-16.
PHL-16 uses BRE rockets
Range is from 40 km to 360km.
Himars 40 km to 380 km.
'Meanwhile current Pinaka - 40 km to 90 Km with 120 km under testing. Unfortunately we don't have further development on this project. But we have another solution in the form.

Basically from 120 to 200 km. We have Prahaar, Pragati, Pranash. (150,170,200).

Status : Not inducted.

Improved version - Pralay (Range : 150 - 500 Km)


Status : Under going testing. Not inducted.


We have the rocket force required. But out of 3 we have only commissioned Pinaka. Other 2 should be inducted soon, this will basically level the field.

We need missile like ATACMS.

What happened to our ramjet powered artillery project ?

I have read somewhere that Prahaar is already inducted...I am finding the source..I will post once i get it..

We already have Pralay, it just needs to be made compatible with the Pinaka launcher

JSR Dynamics is also developing a 324mm calibre rocket with range of 250-300km.

at this point in time, DRDO is unlikely to give up control of design especially missiles and rockets.

 

[Dark Sorrow]

We need missile like ATACMS.

We have Prahaar missile for that role.

 

[Dark Sorrow]

Its not up to DRDO. If MOD is convinced and armed forces are properly lobbied which private sector can very well do then DRDO won't be able to do anything.

 

[Dark Sorrow]

Pralay too big and heavy to be fitted in Pinaka launcher.
Prahaar may have a chance to be fitted in Pinaka launcher but still a dedicated vehicle was used hinting to some difficulties.

Anyway a dedicated TEL has been developed for these missiles.

 

[Dark Sorrow]

What happened to our ramjet powered artillery project ?

Its still in preliminary stage of development.

The main problem with inducting mass range rocket artillery is coz of IA making in itself.
One can easily see the focus on tube artillery and rocket artillery is almost never talked about, the number of orders received for pinaka is in itself speaks for itself.
Also one of the reason behind it is Indian Army doctrine dictates focus on tactical battle area only and for that you don't need cheap rocket arty with massive ranges, tube arty outclass rocket arty in sustained battle in this area. And there has been no serious discussion on tacking out rear areas through precision fire except some brahmos regiments. Imo Indian army is seriously lacking in its doctrine of taking out rear assets like command and control, radar sites, depots and troop concentrations.
Inter-service jointness among forces is clearly pathetic in our case and they work to build capability according to their vision and not a common joint vision.

I bet you a moon that IA in no way has even asked drdo to make something like what chinese have built otherwise we might have some info on its development and no previous sanctioned projects report shows that a 300mm rocket is being developed, it has been years where multiple new missiles have been tested and this unobtanium 300mm rocket is not coming out.

IA has to just ask and the said similiar capability to Chinese can be delivered by Drdo and other partners.
We already have pinaka guided with 90km range and 100kg warhead
Pranash missile(prahar is long dead) with 200km and 200kg warhead, 380mm dia and 6.7m length, very similiar to chinese 370mm and 400mm rockets 7.3m length, so pranash mk2 can be made achieve even greater range.
Pralay will serve the same role as Iskander is serving in Ukraine.

Imo, Rocket forces for India have never been needed more than now when chinese have come knocking.

Sometimes thinking about this being late to adopt things by forces give me migraine when the opposite party has been having the capabilities dating two decades back.
Matlab inko 20 saalo se pta hi nhi tha ki cheenio k pass aisi rocket forces bhi h . Upar se hum kisi ko bolenge bhi nhi similiar systems bnane k liye. Kher jitni jaldi neend khule to acha ho.

India to manufacture indigenous made carbine for defence forces. Instead of the 95000+ UAE's Caracal carbines, there is a plan for 4.2L carbines to be made in India. Initial estimates suggest that the allocation for the project is going to be ovr ₹5000cr.

India to manufacture indigenous made carbine for defence forces in a step towards 'Atmanirbhar Bharat'

The production of over 4 lakh carbines will take time. Which is why there is a plan to allot the contract to two manufacturers, whether in the private or the public sector. This means that the L1 (or the firm with the best bids may get to make over 2 lakh carbines, but the firm that is L2 will...

www.timesnownews.com

Just to make things clear, it's not confirmed if it's amogh carbine, most likely not.
The new deal or rfi will probably be make in India thing as we have some local firms come up since carcal fiasco.
I hope ugly bastard amogh carbine doesn't win. Those guys didn't even had the basic sense of adopting it to accept STANAG mags and adopt it for 5.56 NATO, I am already traumatized enough by this ammo jungle zoo in army, just ditch 5.56mm INSAS round now. And the designer of that folding stock is something else. I think instead of doing something new, our gun designers should simply copy AK and AR.

The most funny thing is that news piece is saying that the order will be gone to 2 firms if it can't be fulfilled within 3 yrs. Well if the reqmt is so urgent, how about you guys formulate a good rfi/RFP and seal the deal fast instead of floating the same rfi for 4/5th time for more than a decade.
This is epic comedy at its peak.

Is this Prahar on 8 x 8...Never seen it in Republic parade...So have they installed the same on Pinaka 8 x8 Chaisis.. surprising

Guys what is difference between a assault rifle and a carbine of are they the same?

Carbine is a cqb weapon chambered in a rifle cartridge
While smg is a cqb weapon chanbered in pistol round cartridge

So something like sig mcx?

[lcafanboy]

For all those idiots especially from across the border Pakistan who doubted India's MIRV and nuclear weapons capabilities ....

 

[NoobWannaLearn]

So what is joint theatre in simple words can anyone explain?
