Atlast Indian govt Pumps $75 Mil to Build Bofors Howitzers for Army

[Nirvana]

OFB WILL build six prototypes by the end of 2013: two basic FH-77B 155 mm/39-calibre guns, two with upgraded onboard computers and two upgraded 155 mm/45-calibre howitzers.

 

[21 Dec 2012]

does the word augment ring any bell?

Okay
But doesn't change the fact that has relatively no exp. in manufacturing Howitzers.

Well this ain't 13 years ago. This is an 80's tech.

The side of the border for which these are being procured is anyway much behind even 80's tech. for the chinese side of the border, India is getting into an FMS deal with USA for light howitzers

Why 21 Dec 2012 (21-12-2012) ???

Anway.. whatsoever...

But doesn't change the fact that relatively 12 Dec 12 (12-12-12) has more poetic beauty.

It's as simple as that. Cheers to your next glass..... to the first howitzer manufacturer of the world .... who had relatively no experience.

Drink well. Drink hard.
