Is this realy better than the 155/52 Dhanush? The Dhanush has its own APU, the ability to move short distances under its own power, a brand new FCS and an autoloader.

Dhanush is 45 Calibre

This 52 calibre will be Dhanush MK 2

Artillery is the main arm when it comes to defense of our country, Good going DRDO.

We need a strong Artillery arm to confront our adversaries when they try their quick and small adventures to gain territories of our country.

Dhanush 45 calibre is OFB designed and developed

ATAGS is DRDO product ; Right now it has no name but since OFB

What you see isnt the finished product. It'll have all of the bells and whistles, look at specs.

I'm sure it will but in what areas will it be superior to the Dhanush other than being Indian designed?

Longer range, but that is due to newer ammunition Dhanush could use as well. They also tout it to be lighter, 2 tons lighter than the original Bofors. Either way, OFBs 52 should be order in numbers, then private line for this can run in parallel.
