Ammunition compatibility problems and time required to test/qualify is the only reason? Why should we buy a gun which is not ready to fire our ammunition? <br /><br />Your article would have been more valuable if you had done an analysis of both the guns, the M777and the PEGASUS. That comparison and analysis would have been a patriotic article, for India's good. <br /><br />Gen Sandhu, and you agree with him, that the DPP time schedules can be violated. The DPP stipulates 3 months to respond, I think the MoD gave more, and gave all the allowances that it was able to give within the bounds of the DPP. Right, Sandhu ji? So if one ompany could respond in time why not the other? Come on Shukla, your analysis should investigate further, it cannot be just ammunition.<br /><br />Your article indirectly implies that a BAE single vendor situation is OK. I have great admiration in your articles, cos you quote your source references clearly - excellent. But lack of a detail analysis and one-sided reporting makes them unworthy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-71536808724314642672009-07-19T13:36:37.597-07:002009-07-19T13:36:37.597-07:00The advantage of the heavier guns is also a higher...The advantage of the heavier guns is also a higher rate of fire, making it more effective before the enemy takes cover. The advantage of the lighter gun is also not as big as it seems. The weight of the ammo needed for a serious attack dwarfs the weight of the guns anyway.Bellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-62453707122411350972009-07-19T11:05:14.648-07:002009-07-19T11:05:14.648-07:00Our babus know no concept of urgency.
