Indian Army News & Discussions

They have still not phased out Alloutte II?
The question is when a PAF jet crashed last week, on the same day, Indians were questioning Pakistani authorities for not releasing any details and here the Indians reported an accident three days after it happened on 20th May.
Do these weekend warriors have the courage or morals to question their own warlords !!

Except KSSL MaRG, almost every major Indian system has already received bulk orders. GoI recently ordered 307 ATAGS and 100 more K9 Vajra guns. Heavy artillery systems are not inducted overnight. These guns need years of testing, crew training, ammunition integration, maintenance setup and operational evaluation before armies buy them in large numbers. Every major military power does this because artillery is expensive and stays in service for decades.

But honestly, the KSSL MaRG 155/52 deserves proper evaluation by the Indian Army because this is not a normal system. Kalyani has managed to put a full 155mm/52 calibre gun on a 4×4 vehicle, something usually seen only on much larger 6×6 or 8×8 trucks because of the huge recoil and weight.

If it works reliably, it could be very useful for places like Ladakh, Sikkim and Arunachal where smaller and lighter vehicles can move faster on narrow mountain roads. A system like this can fire quickly and relocate fast before enemy counter battery fire arrives. That is a big advantage in modern warfare. MaRG definitely looks like a system worth testing seriously.

Seems Zoravar is now getting delayed.... utter nonsense by an Indian army that when the light tank has passed all the trials they came up demanding additional protection layers for tank and that too without compromising on the weight of the tank....

I agree the need of additional protection layers but then why it wasn't properly submitted by them to DRDO in the beginning itself when this light tank was being considered and was getting designed?

Our army and airforce have this unacceptable habit of delaying each and every project by coming up with last minute demands....
