Do we require 47 tonne artillery k9 vajra. Army says k9 vajra will be used to support armoured column but that work can easily be done mounted dhanush guns.
Are we buying mounted dhanush guns ?
Ofb does many things in free time , let them do it .
Fastest artillery weapon is no doubt tracked self propelled artillery .
They can keep up with the tanks , and fire where ever they like and whenever they like plus no exposure to enemy counter fire and get away quickly .
47 tonnes vjra k9 can be deployed more easily than even 105mm indian field gun towed by trucks .

Bro kalyani mounted guns can also do this work. Kalyani also manufacturers mounted dhanush. 47 tonne vajra also requires trucks for towing it to battlefield but truck can easily match up with armoued formations.

Bro kalyani mounted guns .
Indian army is not buying them .
Neither I and I suppose nor you work in MOD who has power to buy weapons .
Tata power sed truck mounted gun was beautiful , army didn't buy it ask why , because denel group of s africa was the place from where the gun was sourced and denel is blacklisted in india due to a scam or bribe case which costed us bhim spg .
It was predecessor of vajra .
It was developed by drdo .

There has been not a single report by MoD about Athos all that is media speculation ,it is based on a tender years before ATAGS came into play,some report earlier speculated that deadline for import end was extended for this type of artillery to fuel media ,it was also denied

Even PKS is saying that there will be no import of Athos or Kalyani Bharat-52.

Arjun mk1 is a heavy mbt which are less required in our army. Arjun was built in order to counter US made m1 abrams(Pakistan wanted to purchase m1 abrams in 1990s)we don't need athos which is of less range and less rate of fire and prices of athos and atags are same( currently their is fake media stunt on fake pricing of atags).

Out of fired 2000 rounds 800 were Zone 7

Kudos to DRDO in picking up the good PR strategy lately. The punch line that would echo every corners of MOD would be "No import required" from DRDO.
one thing missing. Helmets and com sets... This small yet impressive detail makes your product international. What if Athos is in race, your product can also compete outside India......

Pessimistic Prediction: ATAGS will suffer some more setbacks, and import lobby will start screeching for the ATHOS import. And will stall the Dhanush. Eventually the ATHOS will come.
Beep: ATAGS will go the WhAP way.

52 caliber artillery in order of decreasing range: ATAGS > BHARAT 52 > Dhanush > Athos

Now, it depends on the dalals on how to play their import card, now that we have 2 more options other than ATAGS.

Bharat 52 has cleared trials, while Dhanush and ATAGS are in trials.
is bharat 52 trials already complete? isn't that the gun which serves the purpose of m777?

No Bharat 52 is not the gun offered by Bharat Forge as a potential M-777 replacement.

Bharat 52 is a 52 caliber artillery gun which Bharat forge (BF) made. This gun is a separate project that ATAGS. It has completed trials as of August 2020.


In late 2000s, Bharat Forge bought the entire assembly line of Norincum, which was an Austrian artillery manufacturer, disassembled the plant in Austria, bought it to India and re-assembled the plant here. As a result, BF gained sufficient expertise on artillery systems. Based on this experience and the available blueprint of GHN-45 or Norinco, developed its own version of 45 caliber 155 mm gun called Bharat 45. Based on this they further developed 52 caliber Bharat 52.

Interesting thing to note is that GHN-45 (Austria), Soltam 845P (Israel), ODE FH-88 (Singapore), and PLL01/WA021(China) all trace their heritage back to the famous GC-45 artillery gun designed by famous scientist Gerald Bull of Canada.

BF gained experience with this acquisition, and went on to become development partner with DRDO in the ATAGS project. Parallelly BF worked with US based Mandus group to develop soft recoil technology. Based on this technology, BF developed our own desi version of M777, a 155 mm 39 caliber gun in 2 VERSIONS: first built with Titanium (4.5 tons) and second built with stainless steel (5.8 tons). Based on a request from the then Army Cheif Gen. Rawat, BF further developed the stainless steel variant into a 52 caliber gun (8 tons). Further, BF have developed a version of 105 mm gun of weight less than 1 tone (based on old 105 mm IFG) which can be mounted on small pic-up trucks.
