Indian Army deploys K-9 Vajra howitzers in Ladakh for high altitude operations

[FOOLS_NIGHTMARE]

As Indian Army chief Gen Manoj Mukund Naravane inducted the last of the 100 K-9 Vajra guns ordered, three of these howitzers have been deployed for trials in high altitude mountainous area of Ladakh.

Three guns arrived in Leh yesterday and are being transported to a high altitude base to be tested if they can be used in high altitude areas against the enemy, top government sources told.

Based on the performance of the guns, the Indian Army would consider placing orders for two to three additional regiments of the self-propelled howitzers for mountain operations, sources said.

The Army chief has been monitoring the induction and operations of the howitzers produced in the Larsen and Toubro facility in Hazira near Surat in Gujarat.

The Indian Army placed orders for 100 of these guns from a South Korean firm and has been inducting them for the last two years in different regiments of the force.

The K-9 VAJRA is the indigenized version of the basic K9 Thunder from South Korea.

The self-propelled guns have a range of 38 kilometres and are manufactured by Mumbai-based firm Larsen & Toubro in partnership with a South Korean firm. The Indian Army had not inducted any new heavy artillery since 1986 after the Bofors scandal rocked the nation.

With the induction of the K9 Vajras, Dhanush and M777 ultra-light Howitzers, the army is obtaining new inductions in its inventory. The next made in India howitzer is likely to be inducted in large numbers would be the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) developed Advanced Towed Artillery Gun System system.

Good opportunity for Indians to test it effectively under battlefield conditions. Probably would form part of the self propelled artillery of the armored brigade of 14 Corps of the Northern Command stationed near Ladakh.

Waiting to see how the Indians use these machines EFFECTIVELY, traditionally the Indians are notorious for giving bad publicity to any hardware they use.

 

[Skull and Bones]

Talks for another 180 howitzers are in process.

I bet the Indian military heads wish the Pak's General's think of the Indian military, their capabilities, and their war machinery precisely as you do.

Sir G, they will deploy only never have any ability to fire them - they are very well aware of consequences.
Further their philosophy is to don't make problems to stronger but always be bully to weaker and small countries.
Thanks to ALLAH SWT, that every time they tried it against Pakistan they got the bloody nose and humiliation and in case of any misadventure, Indian will continue to get same - In-Shaa-Allah.

As I said, I bet the Indian military establishment wants Pak's generals to think of them, exactly as you do.

haha clearly they do, Pak generals anticipation and planning were seen in the last few wars with India. At least they are consistent.

Don't tell us what our military generals need to do pajeet

And start using your real flags. Why are you so ashamed of that flag?

Maybe that explains why modi wanted to fight " Ghareebi " rather than Pakistani generals right after losing 50 soldiers (Pulwama + Mi-17) and 3 Aircrafts.

That's an excuse a foolish man will use to hide their incompetence.

If you think I'm not using my real flags, and it obviously pisses you off, then, by all means, do continue to think so. It gives me great joy knowing you get mad
