By 2030? How long will it take L&T to make prototypes then 3 years?

If L&T can pull off a successful "Screwdriver-giri as IDDM" trick then it'll hardly take few months. They already have hulls from K9 and turrets from John Cockerill, it's just a matter of Frankenstein-ing them

Does Armenia have proper FAT to tow these monsters on the hilly terrains of the Caucasus mountains?

 

[Blood+]

So 300 more D-30 122mm Soviet era howitzers to be upgunned to 155mm Sharang standards?
That makes the total about 780

M-46, not D-30

 

[Lonewarrior]

M-46, not D-30

Arre ab maaf kar dijiye bacche ko, galti ho gayi

Correction: Soviet Era 130mm M-46 howitzers, not 122mm D-30.

Meanwhile in OFB's parallel universe...

"Kanpur’s AWEIL Company has proudly introduced the ‘Prabal’ revolver, a groundbreaking addition to the realm of firearms. Scheduled for its debut on August 18th, this cutting-edge weapon promises to redefine the landscape of arms technology. The remarkable Prabal .32 bore revolver outperforms its counterparts by more than doubling the firepower within a 50-meter range." The company’s director, AK Maurya was quoted in the media reports saying, “Reservations for the feature-rich Prabal, akin to the esteemed Webley model, will commence from the 18th of August. This marks the nation’s inaugural revolver featuring a side swing cylinder, a groundbreaking departure from the need to manually load bullets into the conventional folded cylinder.”

I asked them for safety in this gun
The soldier sitting next to gun said "isme koi safety nahi hai jabtak trigger nahi dabaoge tab Tak nahi chalegi"
Firing it feels like revolver in diwali but this is heavy in terms of weight and also weight is badly distributed awkward to hold.

So they copied an out of production '70s era revolver this time,
Ruger Security Six

at least this model had quite good reputation for reliability and so, that new series is still running in powerful versions "Super Redhawk". So now our OFBs are finally learning to copy "modern" western firearms from earlier WW1 era guns like Colt Pocket Hammerless, Webley Revolvers etc...at this rate their own AR-15 will definitely come by 2040 at least.

Well in his defence, there's usually no safety in double action revolvers. Not pulling the trigger is the only safety.

As for weight and awkward to hold; it's s*it.
That kind of "thin" wooden grips have long been obsolete in revolver world, now most of them use a "full hand" thick rubber/plastic grip. The gun has absolutely zero lightening cuts in the frame to reduce weight.

And to top everything off, I'm pretty sure they're going to price this at more than 1lakh. There current flagship (if I may take the liberty of calling it that) is already 1.1lakh

Perhaps the best part is not that they're copying 100 year old technology but the fact that even companies like Heckler & Koch, FN Herstal and CZ never dares to use words like "groundbreaking addition to the realm of firearms...this cutting-edge weapon promises to redefine the landscape of arms technology...outperforms its counterparts...the feature-rich" while launching their new product.

But OFB...OFB is epitome of blissful ignorance

L&T is working on drdo design right?

See the fine print here

now I'm not smart enough to understand how they have achieved this, or what their benchmarks are. But since they call this 50 year old model groundbreaking, it probably fires some fantastical round.

"revolver featuring a side swing cylinder, a groundbreaking departure"
So a normal revolver

I'm almost afraid to ask the price but how much is this oldboi going for ?

Probably 1lakh+ or almost the price of an AR-15 with a short-stroke upper

Are these also heading to Armenia. The camo looks similar.
