Will be epoch moment for indian private sector defence industrial complex if all of them gets approval for induction .

Yes. Home min can also join the fray and upgrade BSFs arty wing to a fully mobile one based on the Garuda 105, and retiring the ILFG from the force.

There was a also some report last year about raising an artileery wing for ITBP. Wonder what happened to that.

What? I thought BSF and ITBP already had artillery guns!

BSF had mortars, 81mm and 51mm. ITBP too have those?

Bsf has 105 mm light field guns too

ITBP troops getting familiarized with 105 mm IFB. Not sure if it is inducted in their arsenal.

RFI for Terminally Guided Munitions (155mm)
Given that they are planning to procure only 197 rounds a year, IA must be expecting the price to be very high.

This is LFG not IFG*

why then did the minister issue a tender just a few days back? even he knows that it would fail as there are no companies left to respond. but the main question here is that India would remain a sitting duck till the new guns arrive which is at best 8 years away.

"Today, defence minister A K Antony informed Parliament that the Central Bureau of Investigation had recommended the blacklisting of four companies that had been involved, at various stages of this procurement: Singapore Technologies Kinetics (STK); Germany's Rheinmetall; Israel Military Industries (IMI); and another Israeli company, Soltam. Denel, a South African company, had been blacklisted earlier;"

All the important artillery manufacturer's have been blaklisted in the last 6 years. Quite an achievement Mr. antony. please blacklist yourself and your ministry next.

Singapore technology kinetics , i don't remember what it offered

AFAIK Bhim project was indefinitely postponed when Soltam investigation started. Soltam was supposed to collaborate with DRDO to build Bhim.

Sirji it was a denel turret not by soltam.
Soltam did help in upgunning the 130mm field gun

The Gunners themselves ..

This is heartwarming to read.

Isn't that too less. 197 per year is really low for an army as large as ours. Every arty regiment should have one battery equipped purely with TGMs

It was discussed , fir aage kuch nai hua

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

‘Not really, when Desi guns can do the same job then why get M777.
Get the import lobby out…..

 

[Hari Sud]

There should be 4000 artillery guns to be considered formidable .

Army’s infatuation with imports is holding back induction of Indian made guns. The Army’s mode of rejection is …… test….. test, until a fault shows up.
