DAC also accorded approval of procurement of Air Defence Guns and Ammunition at an approx. cost of Rs 6,000 crore under the Buy & Make (Indian) category for #IndianArmy
I am not sure about what kind of air-defence guns are we talking about. Replacements for Shilka or replacement of Bofors 40mm AA guns ?
The Bofors.
Schilkas have been recently upgraded, 5 regiments, they won't be replaced for another 15 years.
So the program for similar self propelled aaa system like K30 biho , it's on backburner for now?
Disappointingly so. The plan is to now make a homemade system with the private sector.
Creating swarm drones is harder than creating the defences for it. It's not an immediate threat.
By the time it becomes a threat, both the IAF and IA will have defences against it. For example, DRDO has successfully created an anti-drone laser.
Upgraded by Israeli El-bit of Indian Army ZU-23-2 AAA, upgrade consist of fully automated system with elector-optical pod with Radar & MFD for gunner, a good drone killer..
