I would take it with atleast a thela load of salt as of now.
Chinmoy sir , tell me one thing
If there is a option of 155 /52 ulh howitzer.
Then why money is spent on atags ? , is it due to supposed sustained rate of fire offered by atags ?
Because atags looks heavy and very complex compared to ulh by kalyani, both have similar calibre .
And bmcs92 charge can be used there too , anyway atags gave a maximum range of 48 km with erfb boat tail, of which its said that maximum range is 38 kilometers , but can't the ulh give the same range with adequate charge ?

ULH is 155/39 compared to 155/52 ATAGS.

It’s pretty much confirmed now.

I would wait till tomorrow for this news to appear here...

BTW have you seen some commonality between this news and how news of south asian sale appears about Israeli products?

Elbit of Israel has offered their gun ATHOS 2052 and have tied up with Kalyani Group/Bharat Forge.

Now this might be pure coincidence or as I suspected might have been an order of ATHOS to be merely built by Kalyani. But since CTR inserted the IDDM clause, I would wait till tomorrow.

This will help BF to get the production line going for 3 years. Enough time for IA genraals to complete the stand-up test, sit-down test, sound pollution test, rust endurance test, camouflage test, rain test, snow test, dust test, equipment abuse test and so on

Cost
ULH will be mostly titanium, not good for price.

More cost -> Less numbers
