Howitzers

Indian Army's massive upgrade under Make in India Initiative

Procurement

Indian Army is set to acquire 200 new mounted howitzers as part of the Make in India project, issuing a tender to Indian firms

Strategic Border Defense

The addition of mounted howitzers aims to strengthen the defense capabilities in border areas

Lightweight Firepower

Equipped with 105 mm 37 calibre guns, these howitzers provide a lightweight, easily transportable firepower option for forward positions

Wheeled Chassis

The howitzers are built on a wheeled chassis, enhancing their mobility across different terrains

Make in India Initiative

This procurement is part of the Make in India initiative, focusing on using domestic resources for defense equipment production

Modernization Path

This move is a step towards modernizing the Indian Army's artillery with advanced equipment

Economic Advantage

The preference for truck-mounted howitzers over traditional tracked systems is driven by lower production costs, ease of maintenance, and economic viability

Terrain Suitability

The truck-mounted design facilitates ease of transport in high terrains, offering a tactical edge in difficult geographical areas

Dual Functionality

Besides indirect fire support, these howitzers can also be used for direct firing, showcasing their versatility
