Guys, It cannot be K9 - count the no of wheels on track. K9 in picture you posted has 7 wheels and the mysterious gun chassis has 6 identical to MSTA-S.

In short it can be any thing BUT K9 unless they have produced a unique chassis with six wheels for India only.

T-155 Firtina, K9's Turkish variant also has six wheels.

This L&T version of K9 Thunder, is most probably very similar to T-155 Firtina(Turkish Variant).

And that photo is K9 thunder with 7 wheels is very peculiar. Cause all the other photos of K9 on the internet shows only 6 wheels.

Come now, children. This is definitely a K9 Thunder. Source is D-F-I forum. MSTA-S fares poorly against the K9. Be happy.
