Ashok Leyland Field Artillery Tractor(FAT) 6X6 is powered by the Ashok Leyland developed Neptune N6 engine producing a peak power of ~360 hp and a max torque of 1470Nm @ 1200-1600 RPM.

Engine max rotation is electronically limited to 2500 RPMs, The engine uses Turbocharged & Intercooled(TCIC) aspiration, 6 cylinders inline with a total displacement of 8000 cc. Engine dry weight is 858 kg and needs 25V electric power to start. This engine and the Ashok Leyland developed 8-speed manual gearbox with a 2-speed transfer case, full-time 6-wheel drive developed is the reason why the AL FAT 6X6 won the Army's tender and was acquired.

Until recently Ashok Leyland used to import the fuel injection and engine sensors for the Neptune N6 from the German company Bosch. That was always a risk with Germany's export laws. Germany has a law for not supplying military or dual use tech to countries that are deemed human rights violators. Germany deems India as a human rights violator and has stopped their companies like Heckler and Kock from providing after sales support to India after we purchased H&K Mp5 guns for police and NSG units. But they seem to have no problem selling guns and fighters to Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
that's why indegeneous capability is necessary.

Now this is true innovation. Kalyani is truly serious about Indian defence while Tata / ambani all want to do screwdrivergiri. More power to him.
all are their for money & screw drive ---- he is no exception.

Having these K9s are good but after this order army should look for the indigenous solutions as we have all the ingredients for this especially arjun,ATAGS ,get things rolling for now with 100 K9s but IBGs would only be possible if we have more than 500 of SPG artillery ,will push enemy deep in their own territory
So why L&T was given order in first place ? this case is nothing but corruption of highest order when PSU exist with far greater capacity & capability.

He has build an ULH with titanium barrel . That's the difference. No one else took the initiative. He is also building small jet engine for missile on his own. That man is unstoppable.
He is the new Elon musk I get it.

Why didn't PSU designed something better before the deal on their own if they are so capable.
So what mighty things did L&T has design? You are bragging about? Public money is not for some corrupt politicians, military man & beurocrates to swindle away --- but this govt is suit boot ki Sarkar after all.

Ahaha another teenager who thinks being anti Modi is cool and edgy. Very cool bro.

Anyway it was you bragging about PSU. Why would our PSU do mere assembly?? They should design and build original . Assembly should be left to small incapable firms . Lol.

Bharat Forge also gets a lot of helping hand from outside. But this is fine. All of the private sector what they are doing in defence, aerospace considering Indian bureaucracy, procurement processes. etc. are all doing satisfactory. They've only been in the game for so long.

They are bribing politicians, beurocrates military people with money, post retirement benefits for themselves & their looser kids & family members ---- if screw driving is the criteria --- which most of these crooks are doing why state owned enterprise or PSU shouldn't get the contract in first place?
