LiveFist - The Best of Indian Defence: FLASH! Indian 155-mm Self-Propelled Howitzer Big Begins All Over Again

The Army has gotten used to having no new artillery guns. Well, today brought the latest signal toward a re-tender. The Indian Army today sent out a fresh Request for Information (RFI) to global gun makers for self-propelled 155m/52cal guns (notice the blundering use of "towed" in the document). The full RFI is here. Will update this post with more details later. A re-tender of the Rs 8000 crore towed gun deal is around the corner too, apparently. The self-propelled gun deal is for 120 units, which first fell through as far back as 2005 when Denel was blacklisted.

FLASH! Indian 155-mm Self-Propelled Howitzer Bid Begins All Over Again

Likely contenders: the French Nexter CEASAR (which has the distinction of being mentioned in the RFI!), the Swedish BAE-Bofors FH77-BW-L52 Archer, possibly the Israeli Soltam Atmos 2052.

Incidentally, a re-tender of the Rs 8,000-crore towed gun deal is around the corner too, apparently.

I think this will be the first time in the world when no arms maker is going to end up tendering a response to the RFI. After the past 2 experiences even the most enthusiastic of the sellers will have to concede that this is not going to happen.
The Bofors Ghost will forever haunt the acquisition.
Who cares about the capability and prepardness of the Army..

boy oh boy .hope they go for archer..
