In the next five years, the Indian Army’s Regiment of Artillery would see major force accretion with the induction of several guns, including indigenous ones. These include the Dhanush, Sharang, M777 Ultra Light Howitzer (ULH), additional K9-Vajra howitzers and the Advanced Towed Artillery Gun System (ATAGS).
The seventh regiment of the M777 is under way, and the induction of all 145 guns should be completed in the next few years, a defence source said. Similarly, with their deployment and performance in high altitude regions, the Army is now going in for 100 more K9-Vajra tracked self-propelled howitzers.
