[Kunal Biswas]

The gun in the first picture is that one it? Any pictures or videos of it out?

Its not the original gun, But the one made would look like that one or the one below or mix of them.

So we made the Howitzer? I am dam sure the army will reject it and go for a foreign crap.

IA might not reject this OFB gun, simply because IA doesn't have any thing better than this Gun in their arsenal.Even no alternatives in immediate future because IA's gun procurement process is in legal quagmire, as most of the probable suppliers are either banned or under CBI inquiry. IA should procure it as stopgap till DRDO comes up with more advanced version as per IAs future requirement.

All we have is one Hindi article? These Hindi articles are very misleading at times and the journalist most of time does not know what he is talking about. Any news on when it will be out for user trails or any deadlines?

GK , article's credibility should not be ascertained on the basis of the language. If the same article is in English, does it become more credible? It is about the newspaper which is one of the credible name among Hindi news papers & widely circulated across noth & North-west India. Thanks

No, the Hindi TV channel and newpapers are definitely inferior, i look out for reporters like Ajay Shukla,Vishnu Shom,Shiv Arror,Marrof Raza. These guys know what they are talking about. I have frequently seen Hindi channels read news for mere sensationalism and without facts and use wrong images like Apache of LCH even when the LCH was out. The guy is so dumb he does not know which is LCH then i cant take him seriously.

............. i look out for reporters like Ajay Shukla, Vishnu Shom.....

At least, Two in the above list are well paid propagandist & very much biased in their opinion. Using English doesn't make anybody saint or honest or truth speaking.

Sorry MODs for OT.

I did not make this out as an Hindi Vs english sort of argument but i have seen far worse reporting in Hindi media and i dont say the English media is perfect, it is as bad as anything else but there are some sources i trust and they just happen to be in english.

also all these features of bhim should be incorporated and this project should be fast track.

@Kunal

Ha Ha Ha.... agreed but do not stretch it that far unless you mean "cold start" by the guns.

Actually i am happy, Those 130mm M46 were hard to operate and not so good compare to FH-77..

OFB 105mm is too old and need replacement..
