For k9, the barrel still comes from Hanwha, they are trying to localise that also.

Some hearing protection getting standard?

Weren't kalyanis ATAGS ordered too? Theres the commonality of parts for it too
This thing is easily going to cost more than double the Kalyani Group & Tata wheeled MGS offerings owing to the armoured cabin for the occupants.
The KDNS RCH 155, which is it's analogue costs €14.3 million apiece as of 2025.
The Kalyani 155/52 AMAGS on the other hand comes in at less than $3 million apiece.
Unless the Army is willing to reduce the number of units its procuring, I don't see the K9 MH even coming into the picture.
Let's see if there is any follow-on order for more ATAGS. So far it's just a red-headed step child the IA only plans to use in the desert.
Indian Army is Short of Artillery, the Modern Battlefield’s Most Lethal Killer
Hope so. The SK will only be too happy to accept more money to design/test porting it to a Tatra/AshokLeyland platform to reduce overall cost...
No, I mean those pics from Bharat forge . Is it from an official BFL source ?
Pictures are unrelated to whatever he is saying. These are from a early 2000s CVRDE study for some unknown project which I had shared in a server sometime in the past.
The U.S. Department of State has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of India sustainment support for M777A2 Ultra-Light Howitzers. The estimated total cost is $230 million.
The Government of India has requested to buy long-term sustainment support for M777A2 Ultra-Light Howitzers. The following non-major defense equipment items will be included: ancillary items; spares; repair and return; training; technical assistance; field service representative; depot capability; and other related elements of logistics and program support.
