A FIRING SALUTE TO WELCOME OUR BABIES
BUT REMEMBER THEY ARE OUR BIG BABIES!







Below is a small video of three Dhanush Guns firing as part of trials conducted. Proud that the Dhanush has entered service today. Culmination of a long process.
Great day but miles to go before we sleep.   




FIRING OF THE FIRST TRIAL GUN 




WITH MR J D PATIL AND THE L&T TEAM ON THE DEDICATION DAY OF K9 VAJRA TO THE NATION 


WITH MR JOE SENTFLE AND THE M777 TEAM ON THE DEDICATION DAY OF THE  ULH TO THE NATION




THE 155MM TRIO OF M777 ULH, K9 VAJRA  AND DHANUSH. ALL INDUCTED IN A YEAR! 



LOT OF HARD WORK DEDICATION AND TEAM WORK WENT INTO THIS. IT TOOK SIX DIRECTOR GENERALS OF ARTILLERY TO SEE THIS EFFORT THROUGH. 



JUST PROVES THAT WITH THE RIGHT ATTITUDE EVERY THING CAN BE DONE. 

INDIAS FIREPOWER IS GOING PLACES. 



GOOD SHOOTING TO ALL MY BROTHER GUNNERS AND GOD BLESS
JAI HIND

    Heartiest Congratulations to the Pioneers and you. With MDW being the present and future, Arty will gain even more pre-eminence as 'the kinetic game changer' from the tac to the strat realm.

THE POST BALAKOT REVIEW BY LT GEN P R SHANKAR (R)

By
The Pakistani FM to BBC: War would be suicidal. Pakistan has already started negotiating with a gun to its head! Welcome home Wing Commander Abhinanadan. Well done. You flew into the Valley of Death and survived.  India is proud. Sincere condolences to Air Marshal Waseem Ud Din on the loss of his son Shahaz Ud Din under most unfortunate circumstances. He was incredibly brave to continue his mission when others had turned around.   Paradigm Emerged A lot has happened since Balakot. Some in focus some out. Some hyped. Some diffused. Time to sum up the situation and see where things are heading. Militarily it is called Review of the Situation. I will do it journalistically so that the intellectual western media understands it. They might or not buy our story. Incidentally it is not a story. It is not for sale. This is real live action. Nuclear exchange receding. Not ruled out.     A fundamental paradigm has emerged. India’s fight is against terror. The D

A FRAMEWORK FOR DEFENCE INTERACTION WITH IITS By LT GEN P R SHANKAR (R)

This is an extension of my article  Defence Technology - An Indian Conundrum KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.  IT COMES FROM RESEARCH. RESEARCH GENERATES TECHNOLOGY . TECHNOLOGY OWNED IS CHEAP. TECHNOLOGY BOUGHT IS COSTLY From Oxymoronism to a Framework India lacks adequate defense technology. It needs to invest in defense R&D if it must be a power of reckoning.

That is probably why the PM has asked the IITs to contribute by coming up with indigenous defense technologies. So far so good. How does one do it? That has been our zillion-dollar question. The fact that outsiders have been better at tapping our brain power and technological potential is also another oxymoron. Hence, I am shifting from pontificating to suggesting a framework on which this entire thought process should progress. So, let us begin with a SWOT

GUNNERS SHOT HITS THE MILLION MARK

By
IT GIVES ME A GREAT SENSE OF PRIDE THAT ' GUNNERS SHOT ' HAS HAD ITS  'MILLIONTH VIEWER'  TODAY MORNING.  PLEASE SEE THE TABLE BELOW.                                 I STARTED THE BLOG IN MARCH 2019 WHEN SOME OF MY ARTICLES WERE REJECTED BY NATIONAL MEDIA AND REPUTED PLATFORMS. THEY PROBABLY FELT THAT MY  ARTICLES DO NOT DESERVE  SPACE IN THEIR PUBLICATIONS. HOWEVER I THANK THEM FOR NUDGING ME TO STRIKE OUT ON MY OWN.     SO I SET MY OWN STANDARDS.    I ALSO COULD NOT COMPROMISE IN PUTTING ACROSS MY VIEW POINT THE WAY I FELT IT WAS NECESSARY FOR EVERYONE TO KNOW. I CHOSE TO BE UNBIASED AND EXPRESS WHAT IS GOOD FOR INDIA WITHOUT ANY COLOURING.  I HAVE ALSO FELT THAT IT IS IMPORTANT FOR EVERY INDIAN TO KNOW WHAT IS RELEVANT FOR OUR SECURITY IN AS SIMPLE TERMS AS POSSIBLE. IT IS ONLY THEN THAT HE WILL BE ABLE TO APPRECIATE AND SUPPORT THE ARMED FORCES IN THEIR ENDEAVOUR TO PROTECT OUR NATION. OUR MEN AND OFFICERS WHO ARE SERVING ARE THE BEST AND DESERVE OUR GRATITUDE FOR
