The Chinese bearings issue was identified and reported a few years back itself, I'm sure it would have been fixed by now - that publication probably have no idea what the current unresolved issues with Dhanush and and just repeating the old story.

Honestly this is nothing spectacular, a few 155mm guns is not going to deter PLA by itself.

While we are talking about that IIT guys Ramjet artillery, Boeing and Nammo is demonstrate and actual round next year.

Army Could Test New Ramjet Weapon From Boeing Next Summer - Breaking Defense

"The farther it flies, the faster it flies, because it's scooping up more oxygen, and that also helps you to avoid detection," a Boeing executive said of the Ramjet design.

Basically air-burst munition? What is the advantage of the added parachute?

Not an expert, but vertical drop v/s projectile trajectory maybe?

I am also guessing the angle, in vertical angle shrapnel covers more area.

yup, hiding in trenches will not help against this munition

A Pinaka launcher, along with the older Smerch demonstrates abilities to quickly bring down devastating Rocket fire on the enemy.

Currently at a training area on the Assam Arunachal border, these long range vectors are tasked for forward positions on the LAC.

i also have doubt that though KALYANIs are involved in ATAGS they are lobbying for their own BHARAT-52 and recently they have introduced truck mounted 155/39 and 105mm light howitzers

Its win-win situation for India, we want desi companies lobbying instead of videsis

 

[pipebomb]

Provide better equipment to their soldiers??? Whut???? Recent photos of ttp attacks on Pakis showed porki soldiers not even wearing proper bulletproof vests or plate carriers.

This pak india equivalence had been a bane for india. Its only because of bhalaathma like xi who has been moving heaven and earth to bring us out of this rot.

Why IA hasn't placed any order for bharat 52 till they bring the atags weight down or just order atags with current weight initially where following tranches will lighter

 

[Kuldeepm952]

It's puzzling that after trials of 5 yrs, IA suddenly came up with change of hydraulics and issues of accuracy. These should have been evident from the beginning, not after this much time. It surely has no mobility problem even in mountain regions as seen in Bharat forge atags video and 18 tons is surely not too much for any bridge that a mere 3 ton difference between Athos and atags would make any difference. Army saying that ATAGS firing rate is slow- they surely must be joking! What's stopping them from deploying it on western frontier, then they can always ask for reduced weight mk2.

Can somebody give valid points regarding army's infatuation with weight in case of artillery gun when you will just be towing it and infrastructure also allows it. They don't rally plan to lift gun through manpower like sarang in case of apu failure or do they??? and in case they do want that, you have Kalyani ULH-39/52 for GOD's sake.

 

[WARREN SS]

Atleast order for more M777 should be given now
If war has come to this
