Ramana ji well OFB made Bofors. 2nd back was assembled from CKD and 3rd batch was manufactured by OFB.
The same logical error was made by OFB that Dhanush is just an extra-length barrel and an additional charge to get more range.
BTW Bofors too had many barrel bursts with imported and local shells. Not much noise about that.
OFB noted with Sarang that a muzzle strike was occurring and enlarged the muzzle brake diameter to avoid the collision due to shell wobble.
They adopted the same fix for Dhanush but was not sufficient. The design changes were implemented and IA dot those second-line firing of 45 rounds continuous fire without issues.
Max charge imparts the most energy to the shell that induces spin and the wobble. I wrote this many times.
Coming to ATAGS both guns passed firing trials. They now have EMI tests which is a confirmatory test.
Looks like RM held firm on electric drives.
So now EMI tests.
It begs the question of what EMI weapon it is being tested against!
The gun will have a grounding path to earth by design.
So this should be just a low hurdle.
