TATA Motors Kestrel

The more I look at it, the more mediocre the Kestrel looks.

I hope this model is for the chassis/mobility trails. The armor & protection needs to be vastly improved. The turret is obviously a place-holder but the sooner a new turret (probably from Kongsberg) is installed, the better.

I wouldnt call it mediocre, but some places look crude too me as well. But I think it has it's place in the IA for sure.
 
“India after more than 30 years, has successfully developed its own artillery gun… Field trail has been completed for Dhanush,” he said while talking about the 155m artillery gun which is largely based on the Bofors gun, but has a longer range of about 10 kilometers. This gun will be part of the Republic Day parade on January 26, officials said.

“Another self-propelled gun — 155mm — is in the final stage of being ordered. This is a joint venture between Larsen & Tuboro and South Korea’s Samsung. It has more than 50 per cent of the components which are Made in India. The first slot, probably, will be ordered during the current financial year. This is one of the Make in India project,” Parrikar said.
