I don't know if multiple IA DG Artillery were this far sighted or it was their inertia (slow modernization) and things just turned out favorably with the coming of drone era war fighting and transparent battlefield (with satellite and other ISR). Listening to Gen PR Shankar podcasts, I am more inclined to think that it is the former.

When everyone was going the way of mobility and putting less emphasis on number of barrels. IA stuck to large number of towed guns. Even has around 500 155mm converted M-46 guns.

In Ukraine, with the proliferation of loitering munitions and FPV, UA is forced to dig in a M109 artillery and use it from there. Essentially, a towed gun can fulfill the same role as tracked gun in this case. The number of barrels/tubes and ammunition is a more critical factor. IMO this specially applies to IA artillery scenario along LOC's and LAC's Himalayan terrain where fighting is expected along static and prepared defensive lines.

Bhaiyo, any insights on the TASL MGS ? The Kalyani MGS seems to have gotten all the time light and this TATA machine has been left out ? Is it on par with the Kalyani Gun ?

Also, do any of you have any insights whether Kalyani is going forward with an K-9 SPH equivalent ? He said they are going forward with a turret that would compete with Cockerill.

Tata has said they upgraded it and changed the denel gun to atags/dhanush.
But also said, that it still retained 360° traverse( horizontal), so same configuration as the older one in the pic.
Except that not much detail is out, from what I know it should be in France right now doing developmental testing.

As far as I know, this gun has maximum firing range of 40 km which is lesser than the Kalyani MGS but it's 360° traverse movement gives it unique speciality...in my opinion Indian Army should acquire both these guns ( obviously Kalyani MGS in larger number and Tata MGS in lower number).

If Tata put atags gun on it, it should have same range as drdo kalyani mgs.

Right...but the ATAGS gun is manufactured by Kalyani ( Mainly) ans L&T , so Tata will eventually buy it from Kalyani and fix on its on vehicle... It can make the cost of Tata MGS higher than Kalyani MGS... That's why I said the Kalyani MGS will be inducted in army by larger numbers and Tata MGS in smaller number.

@randombully what was the reason you think that atmanirbhar armenia went for trajan 155/52 instead of atags 155/52 guns. atags is cheaper and better for its callibre


@BHARAT KA BETA tasl makes atags, dw if they want to compete with kalyani at their cost, they can. l&t rn doesnt make atags for indian army

Trajan 155/52 is a joint India-france collaboration.

Can France Rescue Armenia From its Security Isolation?

Ties of religion, people, and high culture between France and Armenia stretch back more than 1,000 years. Paris has emerged as a key ally.

still is trajan better than atags?

 

[randombully]

Depends.

It's a lighter gun compared to atags, with range same as other 155/52 howitzers.

Atags is a beefy boy with longer range compared of other 155/52 howitzers present In the world.
