I dont know why does the army keeps on issueing RFP for 155mm towed gun

IA just completed the induction of 114 Dhanush 155mm Towed Guns
They ordered 307 units of ATAG 155mm Towed Guns last year with deliveries starting june 2024.

Now we see another RFP for 400 Towed guns with a caveat that the weight should be less than 15 tons,
so ATAGs at 18 ton weight are out.
and we are left with 2 contenders
Dhanush built by Ordinance Factory Board and Bharat 52 Built by Kalyani.

Now army will spend next 2 years testing them, before finalizing on Dhanush gun once more .

Our current stockpile of 200 Bofors and 740 M46 155mm Towed guns are over 40 years old . Had army kept its original induction plans announced after Kargil war, we would have inducted 1580 modern 155mm Towed Guns and would have scrapped our older stockpile.
