Re: Artillery Corps: News & Discussion

There are a lot of more pressing low hanging fruit and easily attainable targets that DG artillery should concentrate. Chief among these are increasing the stock of 155mm shells to 3x the current value and figuring out a strategy to counter low cost suicide drone swarms that will inevitably come to ...

Dr VK Saraswat says it is just a IRBM and not even a ICBM. You cannot have a MIRV test simply successful in the very first attempt. I think India just made a public declaration of her capability.

Unless GoI has taken steps to massively tighten the influx of funds to the Trader farmers, we will have a repeat of the drama, this time during peak election season and run up to it. They will also prevent campaigning for all other parties except AAP, which is probably the aim of the protest anyway.
