What Happend To Our Own INDEGENIOUS BHIM SPG

It had a Denel gun. Denel is currently blacklisted!! And hence the K9 Vajra/Thunder order!!!

Technically they could replace the Denel gun with that of ATAGS, but not sure if there is requirement beyond the numbers already ordered of K9 Vajra/Thunder!!

400 SPG Is the Requirement Bro

400 SPG Is the Requirement Bro

Only 100 'tracked' SPGs are required per the Army's 'Field Artillery Modernization program'. Bhim and K9 fall in that category. As such that requirement is being fulfilled by K9.

A question do the Catapult have a convertible Artillery/Tank Turret Because In The Video The person says it also has Tank Rounds
And Is It a New Invention By India

As in change the turret/barrel on the fly? I don't think so.
AFAIK it's a 130mm barrel from M46 (maybe that's what he's referring to as tank rounds). Not sure about the history - as he mentioned in the video, the original was Vijayanta tank with M46 barrel.
