Ministry Keen to Purchase 500 More Howitzer Guns from BAE Systems

[mike2000 is back]

Why do we want to waste billion $ on imported howitzer.


BAE howitzer is light and fit for mountain warfare but we sholdnt waste money on artillery guns

No, India made a good choice. BAE's M777 howitzer is often regarded as one of the best(if not the best) Howitzer in the world. It will boost India's army strike capability by leaps and bounds.

Not really. This is'nt the only picture for that matter. There is quite a bit of video-footage that was broadcast by the TV channels at the time. The BM-21s drove up from Jammu for the most part and were used only as 'shock and awe' weapons in the softening-up phase of the barrage. But were no use in precision artillery bombardment. These MLRS are meant for battle against massed formations ideally or to create a huge "shebang".

I know what you are talking about, you must have you tube it, but the question is did you see two vehicles at the same time ?

Currently Bofors are deployed in J&K while M46 in Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim
Once we get M777
Bofors will be moved to Punjab and M46 to Meghalaya, Assam and West Bengal
