Sandeep is blown away while Kalyani is acting all nonchalant. 
Kalyani MArG mounted gun system 4x4 comes in 3 Calibre — 39, 45 & 52.
More Chinooks, like 40-50 more. Perfect Jizya to US.
No, it should come along with the Apache deal though. The IA needs to test their 6 Apaches first. Maybe good relations by next year could see a boost in numbers too.
300 Dhanush to be ordered.

Why the fcuk 45 cal when Dhanush 52 is there, Bharat Forge 52 cal is there and ATAGS 52 cal is there.
Although I feel relieved I am seeing this and not the news of 300 Athos.
They will need few years of testing just to validate 52 caliber. This is OFB we are talking about.
I wonder if it's possible to upgrade the old FH77 to the Dhanush 45 caliber standard.
This was the original plan to replace all the bofors with Dhanush-45 (114+300) but then OFB and COVID messed up the production. Army then planned to upgrade the bofors by itself, but now I guess the production issues got resolved and more Dhanush are being ordered.
But didn't OFB export a few 155/52 cal barrels to Bofors Test centre in Sweden sometime around 2020 to test with NATO ammunition.
We haven't so far heard about any issues with those barrels, so it would have been really beneficial to order 52 cal variant of Dhanush rather than the 45 cal variant.
