Indian Army Artillery Systems : News and Updates

Problems with military is its closed nature. In MNCs, there often a visit of outside consultancy agency to find out the lacuna or to find a scope of improvement. This thing is not possible now in indian military setups.
Does independent means, expertise? The same CAG criticized IAF for low log hours of IL76 based AWACS by comparing it with Il76's.
Yes, their job is auditing, no need to be subject matter expert. Security related details of nation cannot accessed by "outside agency".

You remember remarks of CAG in some obscure report and paint them useless. but forgets mountain bullshits by Grand Admiral Pravin Sawhney?

Thats what i am saying in my post
 
Yup, if Ukrain war is anything to go by, mobile artillery is the future.
Both mobile artillery as well as guided artillery. On top of that loitering munitions. Atleast 10,000+ loitering munitions need to be inducted in the next 5-7 years atleast.

Requirement is much higher.

We were earlier looking for 150 units for the plains and deserts right? 150 units of tracked SPH. Then there's the requirement of 180 wheeled SPH which supposedly got merged into the tracked SPH needs.

And then the new requirement of 200 units for high altitude cold weather.
We need atleast 1800 mgs and around 1000-1500 tracked sph. And that too in 105mm and 122mm for easier mobility. I hope someone in the MoD tries modernised the abbots and gvozdika's and produce a new version with superior barrel, ranges, targetting and guidance. We will have to induct 4000+ new arty guns to reliably do an counteroffensive against both Chinese and Pakistan. Along with of course lots of loitering munitions with warhead variations from 2kg-2000kg. Our loitering munution requirement is around 10,000 minimum.

We need a 2022 white paper of defence for next 15 years first.
