You serious ? Why did you think m777 got into the back burner in the first place ? Just when the whole m777 deal was hot, somebody leaked the report on m777 losing the trials on many grounds. It was all over the news...Just go and google it...
Actually, the media report said that the gun fell short of certain requirements and minimum standards laid down by the IA. This howitzer has been used extensively in Afghanistan by the NATO and is a proven weapon. However the fact is that it was not designed for use in the mountains and there are a few issues of crest clearance etc.
