Country’s first Advanced Towed Artillery Gun System (ATAGS) is expected to be ready for the crucial field trials of the army, said a senior official of the Defence Research and Development and Organisation (DRDO), reports Times of India.
The ATAGS is the first indigenously built 155 mm/52-calibre towed gun and one of the few in the world that has the six-round automated magazine that fires in 30 seconds. The existing 155 mm/52-calibre guns have three-round magazines which need to be reloaded manually, often resulting in casualties during the exercises due to maximum burst.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
