Kalyani working on the turret is fantastic news. It will be an alternative for Cockerill.

GREAT NEWS....BUT I THINK ALONG WITH TOWED ARTILLERY GUNS, WE NEED MORE NUMBERS OF 'MOUNTED GUN SYSTEMS '.... HOPING THAT GOVT. WILL ORDER IT SOON
Any working electronic items insie a shell is a cutting edge achievement. I used to tell many times in " old peedeef" forum that Excalibur is the finest technology available for ground forces most difficult one to produce for other nations. Now we are going for similar systems, good
The next big order for Army will likely be for QR SAM in the coming FY. I don't see any other artillery order being placed. Maybe in 2026-27.
With Sryker, we will need more Chinooks and M777s, so another deal is possible. The decision on Garuda and steel ULH is pending too.
Oh yeah, if I had predicted that LCA would be in production in the 90s, I would have been right after 20 years.
Anyone can make a hopeful prediction like this out of thin air. What matters is the timing. ATAGS order is 2-3 years late minimum and LCA a decade.
Now it's time to focus on ALTGS with a standard 23-liter capacity, Zone 6 charging, and MGS.
2015 Was almost goint to be demise of Tejas, untill parrikar came. and shove down the throat of incompetent IAF.
