This is the OFB one... feeling like vomiting looking at it... saalon ko laaj sharm mar gaya hai... how do they even dare to bring out such shit with confidence.

Frankly I can't quite tell how's PwC going to branch mark HAL to similar cos for this would be assuming PwC has audited similar cos for such an exercise. Anyways...

K4 SLBM Nose cone 🕉

4 x LTB Surround K4 Nose cone

4 x LTB in Nose cap act as pseudo 1st Stage

K4 Nose cone is pointy like Agni 3 & Agni 5 so might be 3-MIRV's

Imaginary scenario -> If we want to place 3 MIRV's in 1.4 Meters then each MIRV diameter would be ~0.6 Meters

people are laughing in reactions, but reminder, my teligram goyz i mentioned in past regd 155mm artillery things, some of them called this design more stable and functional than Garuda V2 because of those movable trails-spades whatever it's called around the platform, while Garuda V2 has fixed ones in vertical at front
Kalyani could adopt this feature on Garuda V3 perhaps

 

[Satish Sharma Ji]

Hawkeye SRT 105 mm is from the Mandus Group - tech partner of Kalyani whose 105 mm howitzer owes a lot to SRT developed by Mandus.

In other words it's the same thing as Garuda 105 mm howitzer.

So they already did licencing in order to secure orders or had it been iddm it would have been doing trials of Mars now.

 

[Satish Sharma Ji]

Kalyani tied up with AM General and Mandus to make the Garuda 105 in the first place. Hawkeye and Garuda are the same thing more or less.

I think the vehicle platform is different we don't know yet which one it is. I initially thoughts it's mahindra amlv platform.

It's a Humvee chassis man, that's where AM General comes in.

Is there indian chassis avalible

The trails design may not be as significant as you might think .
Even the korean one has a much more functional trails design .. notice how the hydraulics push the spades into the soil as opposed to kalyanis that merely raises the vehicle off its rear wheels so as to spare the suspension the shock of the recoil. However the USP of the kalyani system is the Israeli soft recoil system that makes all this spade/trail business irrelevant

understandable, agreed
now try to explain same thing to fauj-jeets

on a sidenote, this reminds me of that AK-630 CIWS put on a truck somehow

remember this gem?

these kind of people will put a 9mm pistol into a assault rifle frame, for sTaBiLiTy , that trailer should be able to carry 2 of those 105mm guns.

*ahem* yeah this EXACT pic was focus of the discussion where my esteemed teligram fauj frens criticised this arrangement of front fixed trails, they never called out rear movable-adjustable trails much, but their point was that front ones should also have been made like rear ones

Those are not *fixed* in a sense of non movable

They retract up when vehicle is moving and not firing.

As for bring "less stable" I don't see it, during the firing footage of Garuda 105mm it seemed sufficiently stable, more stability with added cost of other things is just not worth it/waste of money.

Making the front ones just like rear ones= more weight + more complexity +more power requirement+ more expensive +vehicle used in Garuda 105mm seems smaller for that.

Once you reach sufficient/good level of stability( which Garuda has), it's not worth it to add more.

It justs clubbed the AK 630 and the BEML Truck parked in the parking lot of BEML Premises.

OFB called it a day. But this may be for an Army Requirement. May be for the Shilka gun replacement. Army have some good fantasy when it comes to requirement at that time.
