Mobile artillery is an important component of any army. I am surprised that they haven't procured any since 1987.

When was the last time something that sort was purchased ? Its perplexing since your Govt is going for MRCA and Submarines ( multi billion $ projects ) but not artillery ...

Just buy artillery from North Korea and add Indian computer controls...

Why don't you start talking sense some times.

Nicely said.

Sometimes his 'Holier than thou' attitude is frustrating to say the least.

I dont think Antony is that bad a person. In fact, I think he is quite efficient.
But now it is evident that he is channelling the arty projects to OFB and DRDO which could be a good thing if he gets a grip over what those morons(OFB) are doing.
