It's raining contracts for BEL...




...while L&T is still waiting for repeat orders for K9 Vajra-T & Bharat Forge for ATAGS.
I think thats because intra govt contract will need negligible negotiation and IAF, IN need to finish their budget. And Radars etc are very expensive things so easy to spend money there.

I actually wonder why we dont make an SPH. We have T72s on their last legs, might as well remove the turret, cut off some armour and put a howitzer there. Shoudnt be that hard, no?

Are you sure it's just beauty in which it beats Vajra?

Bhim had an autoloader, carried two more rounds and RPM too was slightly high.
Why was it rejected?

Mating issues between chassis/turret? Problems with the engine? Problems with the durability of the gun?

Can anyone explain why this clusterfk of DAC and CCS , two levels of babudom (maybe more) are reqd ? Why not just one window where all requests are cleared or rejected ? It's like passing files frome one desk to other in a sarkari babu office
Baboo(n)s watched Yes Prime Minister and thought it was an instructional video.
