Converting K-9 to a light tank isn't going to be easy. K-9 weighs 47t (wiki data). Going for a lighter gun would definitely decrease the weight of the turrent and thus the whole tank. But, not sure if it can bring it down to ~30t. Despite that, it only has armor to withstand upto 14.5mm AP hits (re...

OFB had no confidence to develop a 52 caliber gun. It can show the 52 caliber in expos as much it wants, but has it been field tested? It is only after it attained confidence in 45 caliber, that it brought a 52 caliber prototype. What's wrong in going through phased development ?You are damned if y...

ULH by Bharat Forge is ready. Baba (kalyani) ji ki jai ho !! See in the rear, mounted gun too. This would be interesting. Will this force BAE to locally manufacture M777 gun to compete with Kalyani ULH? Next tender for light guns should definitely ask for at least 90% locally manufactured components.

Got this picture off Twitter. Looks like high angle firing of the upgraded M46 Sarang gun is difficult and a pit needs to be dug, to allow the breech sufficient room to travel for the recoil. Not a big deal. But there is a limit to upgrades! Will this allow firing up to angles of 70 degree ? Curren...

So is the HAL solution of folding 3 blades a compromise solution without adding weight penalties? 500 kg weight penalty is pretty high. And we are yet to add radars into it which will add it's own sweet weight.

After re-reading the article I am getting doubts on authors claim. He takes the IAF declaration of Astra missile integration with sukhoi 30 and declares that IAF announced it's induction .Probably we need to wait till IAF officially confirms it.
