Looks like Lt Gen P Ravishankar is half way there . IIRC he asked for 7-8 yrs in 2018 to bring the RAMJET shell to production standard. There seems to be only a Norwegian firm which has perfected the tech IIRC. Would make us the 2nd country to do so when we get there.

Ramjet-powered artillery shell sets new range record

Boeing and defense company Nammo partnering with the US Army have set a new range record during an indirect fire test of a ramjet-powered artillery shell when a Ramjet 155-mm round was fired from a 58-caliber Extended Range Cannon Artillery (ERCA).

I disagree the gun looks like a 105mm it's not gonna be a mbt. It's a light tank turret.

Dude, it's an old pic, I've seen it several times before.. already posted on FMBT thread (go see). Upper disagreement is not relevant. It's an established fact.

Maybe it's just more shown there, the diagram was on APS... But there also exists an alternate version like that

Everytime I see this I think .. would it have killed those DRDO babooz to just name it APHE .. Armour piercing high explosive ? But nooo senior babooz would probably reject it for being 1940s ammo./

This not at all an APHE shell!!

To be fair he is probably counting 105 , 122, 130, 155 mm arty combined .

He IS counting all the calibers in use. It's the same for the Russian figure of 20-30k shells a day which includes 122, 130 and 152mm.

It's all fine and dandy but will it be economically viable?? And do we even need such shells?? We could always use an MLRS instead.

Be careful what you wish for

How come China has such high divorce rates ? I thought Chinese society is pretty conservative ?

For precision hits from stand off ranges , I guess the price will be worth it .

That Norway company is NAMMO only, so not that far off.
Most likely colab with Boeing for sales to US Army
