Indian Army Artillery Systems : News and Updates

Yeah. IDDM means an Indian company can collaborate with a foreign company using their systems. They need a proper roadmap for indigenization, including software.

This competition is for ATHOS to win, they are providing up to 100% ToT, and Adani is the Indian partner. The closest competitors are Dhanush and Bharat 52, but I don't think they are advanced enough, at least Dhanush, in terms of computers and networking. There are other European competitors, but they are expensive, including Bofors.

In any case I don't think there's gonna be a cheaper and more advanced gun than ATHOS. It costs 10.7Cr versus Dhanush 45's 14.5Cr, not 52 cal. ATAGS is over 20Cr now. Bharat 52 is up to 14Cr.

They have a certain interpretation of dpp2020.

Main criteria of the iddm is IP. What if foreign company agrees for joint ownership of IP? In this case product will be technically qualified under iddm.

This whole procurement is being done for backdoor entry of ATHOS. generals & babus have already turned aatmanirbharta into joke.

His assumption is ATHOS will be 100% Israeli IP, but that won't be the case.

He is confusing Make with IDDM. The latter is fine with foreign IP, as long as half of it is Indian. There's plenty of stuff on a gun that can be indigenized quickly. Even K9 Vajra is 50% Indian.

No, but a December report by TOI cited about 26 guns to be delivered this FY, totalling 50.


AWEIL last annual report is from 3 years ago. https://www.aweil.in/download/Annual Report 2021-22 Handbook.pdf

Height of corruption. All the generals involved in the procurement process must be hanged in the public.


ATAGS has failed. TGS permission has been given by DRDO.

The ones who should be hanged is DRDO, for impacting India's security with such ridiculous failed projects. The initial lot of 400 guns that was forcefully canceled would have been useful 'cause it would have given us superior capability versus the Chinese in Doklam today, with the Bhutan talks making progress in favor of China. For the first time, we now have significant inferiority across the board with China if we end up in a shooting war within the next 5 years, possibly even next year 'cause of Doklam.

Now thousands more of our soldiers will die than necessary, a la Ukraine style.

That last pic is BS, it's referring to fixed guns like Sharang and M777, not locally self-propelled guns, even if limited in mobility. Both ATHOS and ATAGS have similar levels of mobility.

Why we need Pakistan when DRDO is working against us...
