- NEW DELHI: A Made-in-India artillery gun was part of the 21-gun salute given to the Tricolour at the Red Fort on Independence Day this year. The Advanced Towed Artillery Gun System (ATAGS) has been developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), which has joined hands with two private firms-Bharat Forge and Tata Advanced Systems-for manufacturing the system. In this episode of ‘Ask Nitin’, StratNews Global Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale throws light on the unique features of the swadeshi equipment and why it will be a shot in the arm for the military.

Excellent topic chosen for discussion. Dhanyavad Nitin sir. Absolutely proud of our achievement. Jai Hind
Thanks
It was reported that the Indian Army tried to kill off this gun in favour of thd inferior imported ATHOS gun by objecting to the electric drive and wanted it to be replaced by the less advanced and less reliable hydraulic drive, and because they wanted the weight reduced although it is stated here that the ATAGS is lighter. This kind of technical incompetence in specifying technical requirements (or perhaps it is Borfors type corruption) is holding back India's technological development and prosperity.
Well said.
Kickbacks, foreign trips and sexual services of white skinned women are more important for our military leadership than strengthening the country.
ATAGS will surely bring pride and effectiveness to the Indian army. It's an Indian gun, we can modify it any way we want, we can make it in any number we want, and we can export it to any friendly nation we want. In the class of heavy guns (155mm 52 cal), ATAGS is a game changer for India.
Always love your programmes nitin... 💗💗
Thanks!
I support you that both the Dhanush Bofors and ATAGS can defend the nation. Congratulations to DRDO and it's allied Indian partners
ATAGS is a major breakthrough for India. While facing China or Pakistan (or both) we can expect very advanced counterbattery fire which would place towed artillery like ATAGS at risk. Unless we are confident of always placing the ATAGS out of enemy range which is its real advantage, the cost savings of towed artillery will evaporate. If the gun can be made into a truck mounted weapon like the Caesar, it will truly come into its own with its superior range and mobility. The Dhanush/Bofors can then fill in the towed artillery role for the army.
We will have to work hard to make up for the time lost over the past decades. Reaching 90% indigenization in the procurement of new weapons should be priority by the end of this decade. We might not have our own fighter jet engines, gas turbine engines for naval platforms but other than that we should have everything else made in India. We have done a good job in coming up with our own AESA radars and sensors. UAV's being developed indigenously will guard our skies in the future. The DRDO AIP will be a boost for our submarine strength. We will have to develop the technology for indigenous assault rifles, precision artillery systems, tanks and anti tank weapons.
Excellent topic, Stratnews think about a show on the various 5 field guns India is building or rather HAS BUILT. An excellent discussion with Baba Kalyani and Maroof Raza of Sansad TV would provide you inspiring history on how he endeavoured to build an Indian field gun & how he moved an entire factory from Switzerland to India.
Can you tell me the episode date or name that will usefull for me
Good one. Another on offer is Garuda by bharat forge. it should be ordered in large numbers
You could have also spoken about accuracy of the gun, Nitin. That is a very important component of artillery fire. Perhaps a mention of the kinds of ammunition it can fire, besides HE, would have been in order too.
However, an informative and good episode. Compliments and regards.
Maj Gen S Pachory, VSM (retd)
Wonderful Nitin
Your explanation and articulation is excellent sir
Excellent 👍
Great topic and well explained, Nitin Ji! Could you also tell why the European countries such as Sweden and withdrawing from gun making? Also, a suggestion: if your channel were better known in engineering circles, you will get more questions which could enlighten all of us.
Their preference is for self propelled artillery. Hardly any armies use towed artillery these days
Nit in you should talk about HIMAR vs ATAG and Indian Army’s Multiple rocket launchers MBRL and performance in Ukraine
StratNews Global is a must watch channel for defence news.
K9 is now manufactured in India.
Sahi kaha aapne...
Seeing you after ages. Kudos.
Why I am not seeing you?
Thank you so much Nitin ... This was very informative. We should also talk about what impediments can exist in actual operationalization of these platforms.
Vandemataram. Jai Hind..!
An autonomous loading module for both shell and charge could, in theory, sustain a maximum rate of fire over long durations at hypoxic conditions. This would be similar to the Archer truck mounted system but not quite. Rarified atmospheres give these guns greater range, but at the cost of fatigue to the team reducing rate of fire over time. A group of such ATAGs, zeroing in on one target, sustaining the percussive effect over multiple rounds, is the "killer app". And that requires autonomous mechanically operated shell and charge loading module.
Thankyou sir.nicely explained the potential of these artillery gins .but the real test lies on the battlefield,and whether these weapons can sustain in the reliability interns of technology.some time ago it is also army has given reports of barrels blast on the field trial itself .jaihind .
Please let us know when will army induct 150 guns? Also update on Kalyani made light artillery gun
thanks to China for all the formidable defence arsenal India is developing 🙏🏼
Please discuss the relative usage of a towed / self propelled gun system vs a wheeled gun system. I partially understand the purpose of a tracked gun ayatem; however ATAGS doesn't come in q tracked version yet!
Please also talk on INS Vikrant.
Pl compare Vikrant nd Chinese latest Carrier as one Asok Banerjee from us has created lots of underrated remarks in his vedio
Sir please restart Hamra Tejas series with details about mark1a, mark2
ATAGS Computaraised and Radar guided any plus point compared with Bofores gun
When the world is moving towards missiles, drones and UAVs;
we are stuck celebrating new artillery guns that’s don’t even have shoot and scout capabilities
Hopefully, drdo gets enough funds to provide future weapons not relics from past
If the army orders it in numbers sir.
The main concern is only that when this gun system will clear all it's trials.
So that a order can be placed
Russian artillery fires 50,000 to 60,000 shells a day. They pound Ukrainian defense with Howitzers, Rockets (Tos, Smerch, Grad etc) and precision guided longer range rockets. Alongwith Air Support they have an unbeatable combination.
India should have about 2500 Howitzers in Ladakh region, about 2500 howitzers in Arunachal and about 1500 Howitzers against Pakistan with the ability to launch about 50,000 shells a day against China(most of them Thermobaric). Pinaka also needs to be upscaled and maybe ask Russians for Tornado S rocket systems. TOS 2 systems...
Think about Russia. Good idea.
Thermobaric is useless in rarefied air ( where this will be mostly used) due to low oxygen.
@@prantarbasuchoudhury9265 Actually in low Oxygen/high altitude, thermobaric will be much more efficacious than in normal altitude. And this fact can be checked by Indian Artillery. The advantage with Thermobaric is that Chinese soldiers trying to hide in bunkers and tanks will all be KIA. Nothing can protect them.
@@hicrhodushicsalta6648 russian artillery is key to all successes they have so far
@@jaihind9462 great! Bachmut is a Paradies.
While Nitin's initial commentary is good, I feel that the guest called for the questions was seriously out of sync with current developments in artillery and had basic questions which even I as a non artillery person have a fair understanding of.
Should have actually invited an expert in the field.
My question is China is having rocket propellers system with range 200 + km. Does India have any equivalent system? Please make one video on the rocket propeller systems. Second question is looking at the devastating performance of Drone system in Russia- Ukraine war, is it not really necessary to bring every new weapon systems with anti- drone capability ?
Not at the moment. DRDO is working to extend the range of Pinaka systems to 70km but there isn't any program to enhance the range further.
😀 You should have been asking the questions and your guests answering them.
When do we expect atags order from army?
When the army cleans itself up and gets rid of the corruption oOR The govt forces it upon them ...
Atags or dhanush or for that matter any towed artillery are sitting ducks in a modern battlefield where fire and scoot is very important as seen in Ukraine war.... radar, precision guided shells etc..are a death sentence for towed artillery systems....
shoot and scoot systems have less range like within 20 km. I think towed artillery is a defensive system and tracked and truck mounted are offensive systems.
Any reason why you are delivering your piece wearing wireless earphones. It looks wired. Do you have any hearing issues? In that case it's okay. Otherwise it looks weird.
They fired a single round why several rounds ?
AtaGs is OK, but has it completed Pluto Trials? If no, the IA will not induct it I large numbers. They will prefer Israeli athos for obvious reason😂
Aw too bad for you: field guns are now on import blacklist. That means only atmanirbar field guns are allowed. So middle digit to Athos and it's bakhts.
There is a Sansad Tv program on this. There is a AI enabled carriage and self propulsion.
Sir try to tell in hindi and english both. Channel is stuck at 100k, needs to grow alot so that people across different states come to know about armed forces and foreign affairs. Make video in people friendly and easily understandable manner.
Agreed. Please do these videos in Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil, Assamese, Bangla, Odiya, Gujarati, Konkani, Sindhi, Marathi, Nepalese, Punjabi, Kashmiri, Meitei, Naga and Mizo languages too. Then the channel will go over a billion.
@@patmclaughlin107 Probably said in jest, but it shouldn’t be too hard to provide subtitles in all the languages you listed. You know … as a start …
And if done consistently, might even result in subscriber growth.
@@vikramparanjape Partly in jest, partly to point out the Hindi belt's forgetfulness that the country has more than half the people who speak other languages.
Agree about the subtitles.
Sir, an excellent topic. But with little bit of imagination and discretion, it would have gone on to make so much likes.👍
Just look at the question time, a non expert is answering an operational query with not so good data. Then the policy of one question one person and the time given to the guest 😂. The titles are indistinguishable from the background.
Its better if the story told with a strong sense of history, its need, its development and its future trajectory. Instead of just repeating Atags for umpteen times.😃
Army abhi 4 saal tak moon pe trial legi ATAGS ka fir jaakar order degi.🤣🤣🤦♂️.
QR-SAM ke order ka bhi abhi tak koi pta nahi hai. Na jaane kitne saal or trial lenge Army waale 🙆♂️🙆♂️🙆♂️
Stratnews are you aware that Indian companies have developed alternatives to the M777 and that the M777 contract will not be renewed, and given the rate at which Russia is destroying those M777s sent to Ukraine (I seen videos of dozens of them being obliterated by Russian shells and MLRS), I'm sure the United States would be focused on sending their M777 reserves to Ukraine. This underscores the importance of atmanirbar policy. The Indian replacements for the M777 are many respects superior although slightly heavier.
Those guns got obliterated because Ukraine had no AF to speak of and in flat terrain were sitting ducks. Ten minutes after fire they were tracked and taken out. That is thd downside of towed artillery. Has to be shoot and scoot.
India needs truck mounted moving artillery more. 105 mm & 155 mm. More pinaka system & have to make indigenous Smerge rocket systems. Navy is doing great, Army Airforce needs to adapt fast.
But we are buying Korean self propelled guns.
Dear Sir, you simply omitting the development of Dhanush Bofors Gun from 2004 or 2000 after which the ATAGS project started in 2013 during PM Manmohan Singh's period. Sir please provide correct data to the Indian Citizens. Thanking you. So ATAGS is the brother of Dhanush Bofors Gun but an Indigenous Indian Gun. Please provide us the real data.
Mawn Mohan Singh was a class A crook.
We need highly mobile artillery to duck weapon locating radar .stop glorifying indian army's incompetence more than 13 years have passed dhanush gun is nowhere to be seen
Everything is hot air until armed forces start placing orders for indigenous equipment.
What good is the ceremonial display of atags at red fort when army is yet to place large order for them?
Until government starts placing order I'd consider all this election hawabaazi!
Election is sometime away and you can trust the other parties to continue development or buy from outside with commissions
Any General or Babu that tries to resist ATAGS or atmanirbar policy is going to find their career sidelined, their pension in question and the scrutiny of the CBI, Counter intelligence. Let them try.
@@repealsection230forbigtech4 after all these years you still don't understand the incompetence of bjp gov?
@@abhilash9918 yeah reservation based on religion should be removed and performed review should remove incompetence from government agencies....lot of officials are useless
We need HIMARS.
No we don't, HIMARS have been hyped. The advanced versions of the pinaka are well on their way to achieving the same range and with greater accuracy than HIMARS.
@@repealsection230forbigtech4 are they gps supported? Like gps coordinates?
@@Kenkalsi why would India use GPS? GPS is American and the military grade accuracy signal of GPS is not available to non NATO weapons systems. The Indian systems use a chip that supports both the Indian NaviC and Russian GLONASS systems. Note, system can detect if GLONASS is giving false telmetry and switch to naviC or even inertial guidance. The Indian NaviC system is much much more accurate and responsive than even the military grade GPS telemetry because it's designed for the Indian Region/lower latitudes.
@@repealsection230forbigtech4 good for us.
