India is possibly the only country on the planet to have IP of 3 different designs for 155mm -
1. Gerard Bull's design for GC45(manifested in a scaled up 52 Cal Bharat52)
2. Bofors design for 39 Cal (manifesting in 45 Cal Dhanush which has now been scaled to 52 Cal)
3. DRDO driven design ( manifesting in ATAGS which was 52 Cal grounds up)
+
We have (a) up gunned Soviet 130mm field gun to 45 Cal, (b)use American 39 Cal M777 and (c) Korean CN98 155mm gun on K9
Anyone wishing an import after this should be questioned.
Anyone not ordering guns after this should also be questioned for ulterior motives.
If we now import Athos or Caesar or PZ2k, it should be treated like " sabotage by diversification"
