- 28 September is celebrated as the Gunners Day in all Gunner units and formations. It's an occasion for rejoicing and rejuvenating camaraderie. Lt Gen Tarun K. Chawla, the senior most serving Gunner extended his best wishes to all Gunners, including veterans, and their families.
In an interaction with Editor, Bharatshakti.in he informed about the pace of modernisation in guns/ howitzers. He also covered the tremendous progress in Indian Army’s rocket artillery. Extended range ammunition has given a fillip to the distances at which Artillery can now deliver fire assaults. This, in turn, imposes the requirement of being able to see the fall of shot at huge distances, correct the fire and carry out a post-strike damage assessment. UAVs are likely to be used for the purpose.
Remarkable progress has been made in ammunition also. Our establishments have been able to enhance ranges and increase effect at the target end both by a variety of ammunition and accuracy. We are also progressing on the precision front.
Our surveillance and gun locating equipment have also undergone a revamp and a fair amount of indigenisation. We have our own gun locating radars as also surveillance equipment.
As far as lessons of the Ukraine conflict is concerned, the war is being fought primarily by Artillery on both sides. Most NATO and American major equipment being provided to Ukraine is artillery guns. The importance of firepower has been underscored boldly in the Ukraine conflict.
He also dwelt on the renaming of Pt 5140 as Gun Hill in recognition of the Artillery’s contribution during the Kargil War.
Guest: Lt Gen TK Chawla. DG Artillery and Sr Col Comdt, Regiment of Artillery.
Host: Brig SK Chatterji. (Retd) Editor Bharatshakti.in

Very slow production of the Dhanush system. Just 1 regiment operational. Criminal incompetence.
Happy 196th Gunners Day!
जहाँ बोला वहाँ गोला। Proud to be a gunner. Excellent discussion! 👍👏🏻🇮🇳
Chatterji, an excellent interview. Kudos to you and to Bharat Shakti
I agree, he asked the most relevant questions, but then again he is an expert
Excellent discussion..Quite comprehensive..
Thank you Bharat Sakti, for this wonderful interview 🙏🙏
Sir, your effort and dedication for the streamline modernisation of Indian Artillery is really appreciable...Hats off!!
Very elaborate, comprehensive and interesting discussion on the developments in Indian artillery of the esteemed Indian army.
HEARTIEST SALUTE SIR... JAY HIND . JAY BHARAT . SAATH EK LAKSHYA BHED .
Fantastic interview, what a privilege 2 get 1st hand info. Humbling for the viewer
Very comprehensive and informative session, thank you. One area that was not covered was our plans/capabilities on smaller caliber guns and their utility or lack thereof like Kalyani's 105mm soft recoil truck mounted gun. It seems like these would be quite useful in mountains where longer range is not always at a premium but shoot and scoot is.
Precision strike and high mobility should be the main focus. Artillery are now extremely vulnerable to UAV. K-9 from Korea and light vehicles mounted with mortar with good artillery calculations would work wonders.
Love ur username 😂
great video!
Sir always your discussions are commendable
We need to get rid of this PSUs. L&T was able to deliver K9 Vajra is record time and Dhanush ( Tech transfer from bofors) was lying in cold storage of the ordinance factory for 30 years and now they can’t even deliver one regiment in so many years- bring in L&T, Kalyani and Tatas
Especially Kalyani & L&T
That artillery will always be a battle influencing factor in any war has now been accepted by all militaries.
We need to go in a big way for enhanced range weapon and ammunition systems, UAV's (both recce and weaponised), loitering munitions, rocket systems.
Not to forget our ability for speedy and accurate acquisition and engagement capabilities. I guess our senior gunners are well seized of this thought process
And one more thing. As gunners, we need to ensure that our traditions, ethos, past history-- all that we have imbibed in the past two centuries are not diluted because of temporary political pressures. Recollect the furore over the unecessary and illogical 'kasam parade' done by an over exubherant commandant in the Artillery Center some time back.
Where do we stand on 1. Rocket force. 2. HIMARS. 3. Mounted guns system. 4. Wheeled artillery 5. Wheeled combat vehicles. Why no discussion on these?
Because we don't get lots of commission. We can't procure from abroad. Unless we test each system for ten years and find fault or change specification then we will import it from abroad
When will artillery officially called a "combat" arm rather than a "support" arm?
Jai Hind 🇮🇳
Excellent discussion but the K9 Vajra was not mentioned at all.
*Hey guys, what happened to StarStreak missile by BDL? What is the status?*
Sir aap dono se sawal hai, kya aisa koi projctail hai artilary ke pass jo fire ho, target ko choose kare, ruke, dehe fir hit kare. mera Matab turkeis TB2 drone se tha jisne Ukraine me mighty Russian artelary ki hawa nikal di.
Just gathered momentum means that it will be ready in the next 200 years..Code language.
Jai hind
No,it means that the process is gaining pace as in other developed countries after Modi took over. It isn't the same dilly dallying tactics as like during the Gandhi family rule
May b Defense equipment details should be the top secret of a Nation especially in the case of India . No other Country in the World talks about it's arsenal . It's shocking to see that what shud be extremely classified is being publically broadcasted . Think about it's impact .
Nothing. These days satellite information is so accurate that you can see a rock lying on ground. Do you think the other side don't know what is being deployed? Those days it can be used as a tactic because such surveillance systems are not there. It's not about what we have. It's all about how you use them and our army knows very well..
Sir, with all due respect did the divulging of numbers related to sensitive defense equipment is not compromising the Operational Security (OpSec) ?
he's more qualified to determine what is or isn't sensitive: revealing is done on purpose to deterr
Even while we speak in glowing terms of reaching more than 37.5 kms with MBRL weapons, the Pakistan Army has rockets that cover 120 kms and 150 kms. the A100 E and the Fateh - 1. Even with extended ammunition, we have nothing close to i.
Sir As a innocent citizen,I want to know whether Artillery division of defence has taken the support of Isreal made weapons which has been of high quality and reliability.Jai hind.
What we have learned about Artilleries in Russian war against Ukraine what we have to add do we have to increase the number of MBRS
Does not look like these two seniors have learnt anything from Azerbejan war or from Ukraine war. Why can not they use simple UAV for target locating purpose. You can not use WL Radars everywhere, however UAV could be used all terrain and is much cheaper.
Please provide in hindi
*How come India only managed to capture 1 post in kargil whilst Pakistan still holds the rest of 5? Please explain.*
So the main reason for buying M777 was the Excalibur shell system.

HIMAR MRLS IS NEED OF HOURS
India needs a separate rocket force like the Chinese
Indian Army worried about Collateral Damage?? Will Pak China worry about this? Philosophy tweak needed
I agree, collateral damage of
P|_A or Pakistan support staff is a desirable outcome not to be avoided
It seems that that statement is used to create a "business case" to acquire a precision shell
notice that even in Ukrn war the global public has become desensitized to collateral damage.
Are yaar Hindi ka use toh karlo, saare ke saare angrez hain Kya.... decolonize bola hai pande ji ne
Bhai Army mein South ke log bhi hote h. Hindi bologe to sabko samajh nahi aayega. Angrezi sabko seekhna zaroori h. Yahi hume China se better banati h. Global language bhi h.
It is in Angrezi to send Sandesh to international experts & to serve nagriks of South & North East.
Remember Armenia buys Indian Swati WLR, Pinaka & Africa, ASEAN experts are also watching
Stop using hollow words like "great potential, shown keen interest". Talk about real orders.
