our army has love for firangi maal, let see if they go for TATA's product, TATA is reliable and if they can produce 100 guns within year, then it is not bad offer, IA should get this, it is far better then not having anything in next 5 year.

The love for foreign maal is basically due to reliability but if local stuff can match up it would be better for long term as its going to create local industry and jobs.

Any one has any idea about the weight of this gun ?

elevation pic shows that gun can fire -3 degree therefore it can be used in mountain region. But weight is issue plus the length for road curves in north east, J&K and other area having border with China.

i found two things first is TATA multi-axle vehicle 8×8 which is 25 tons and what is stated in this link says that gun Denel T5-52 weight is 28 tons, with 6 member crew and ammo etc it will easily reach 65 tons.

The G6 is in service with the South African Army (43 systems - GV6 Rhino) and has also been exported to the United Arab Emirates (78 systems - G6 M1A3) and Oman (24 systems).

Hope Army buys it from TATA which will be major boost to Indigenous products and tie breaker for Private company of india to pitch in

But many might argue gun is not TATA made , but still its a good start i feel :thumb:

In fact it is best move by Denel, they have given full TOT to TATA, since they are aware that they will now ever get a foot in Indian market, so what is the next best, to give TOT to TATA so that some money will come their way. TATA will in turn sell this gun as their gun and all the punga with black listing will go away since TATA is separate legal entity and trusted name in India.

Other black listed companies should take a cue from them and start doing the same things in India that way our private sector will get much needed push in Defence sector.

I would say that if it can send shell to our enemy then it is good enough.........................:thumb:3

better then having no gun at all.

Plus Bhim had this gun, so we can think further.
