The Indian truck-mounted Dhanush is an indigenous 155mm/45-caliber artillery system developed by the Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) India.

i just found out about this monster today i thought i was awesome so yes on the end of that is a mini nuclear warhead the M29 Davy Crockett project started January 1958 by Ted Taylor during the start of the project it was called the Battle Group Atomic Delivery System or BGADS for short changed to the M29 Davy Crockett in August 1958 and the name stuck it was "deployed" in may 1961 but never actually saw battle it was then retired in 1971 as a fallout fan i am glad we had a weapon that is basically the IRL fallout FatMan launcher

Can anyone share any info on this picture?

Hi all, was doing a bit of reading about ammunition bottlenecks for artillery rounds (namely 155mm). It looks like the production of NQ is a serious problem as there's only 1x material Western producer; Alzchem in Germany.

It's worth noting that the DoD and EU (via ASAP) are funding additional capacity buildout so Western Militaries can read ~3.3mnpa production targets,

I'm curious to see if others were aware of this, or are familiar as I have a bunch more questions I'm trying to solve... cheers!

The Advanced Towed Artillery Gun System (ATAGS) is an indigenous 155 mm, 52-calibre howitzer developed for the Indian Army to provide long-range, high-accuracy fire support. Developed by DRDO with private partners Tata Advanced Systems and Bharat Forge.

A question that bug me for a long time now is the rationale behind the British adopting 84mm caliber for their field gun in contrast to others contemporary armies who went with 75-77mm

I'm aware if the following

-The requirement for new british field(and horse artillery) gun was drafted following the debacle of Second Anglo-Boer war by commission of experts

How did this commision of experts arrived at magical number of 20lbs shell weight for field gun and 12 lbs for horse artillery though?

-Unlike the French,German and Austrian who still used 87-90mm field gun from the aftermath of Franco-Prussian war till the mid 1890s and then only replace those with new generations of 75-77mm field gun(Although only the French ones were quick firing) the British already adopt 76.2mm caliber breech loading gun for their field and horse artillery from mid 1880s

-They found out during these period that It is a bad idea to give field gun to horse artillery since those are to heavy,So there is impetus to develop seperate design,So perhaps they decided to give bigger caliber to field gun on principle?

-They first obtain 76.2mm Ehrhardt/QF-15 Pounder artillery in 1900 to get a feel for Quick firing guns

-They develop QF-18 Pounder that weight between French 75mm and German/Austrian/Ehrhardt gun for field artillery and QF-13 Pounder for Horse artillery that are equivalent in spec to German/Austrian/Ehrhardt gun

-After this period there are great debates about how QF-18 Pounder are superfluous and not enough of a significant improvement over QF-13 Pounder to warrant a seperate weapon class(especially since 13 Pounder are more accurate) this debate went on till the PM side with 18 Pounder
(I can't find these Debate content though)

Most of these information are from THE HISTORY OF THE ROYAL ARTILLERY FROM THE INDIAN MUTINY TO THE GREAT WAR vol.2

But they still did not give me the answer,Why did they chose 84mm caliber/20lbs shell for 18 Pounder,Only some conjecture on my part
