Is this possible ? a 105 mm gun with 30 Km range . If it is then it will be a huge boost .
The article only speaks for the lightweight 155mm L39. Not the 105mm Garuda. Garuda looks small. I wouldn't bet on more than 10km range.
And yes, there does exist a 105mm gun with 30 km range.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G7_howitzer
With Denels V-LAP round, it goes upto 36km.
It is L52 and weighs 3.8 tons. They were trying to make it 2.5 tons. I don't know what happened.

The artillery scene is shaping up very nicely.

I hope that Kalyani gets good orders so that they remain in this field and continue their R&D effort.

For Indian Army needs the gun and the platform are changed ...

Gun : 33 cal 105mm barrel from OFB
Vehicle : TATA 4X4 truck ..

Knew about the OFB gun, but what source you got that it'll be TATA's truck?
