The Indian army had tried to procure the same gun, but the process had dragged on for several years.
Now the K9 VAJRA-T howitzer proposed by L&T in partnership with Samsung has been shortlisted for the contract. The VAJRA could be the first new artillery gun to be produced in India in last three decades.
The K9 VAJRA-T is a variant of Southr-Korea¥"s K9 Thunder which is inarguably the world¥"s best 155mm/52 Cal.SPH in terms of number of systems in active service.
Currently, K9 Thunder is serving as one of the main conventional deterrent forces for a number of armies including the Korean Army. K9 Thunder has established its superiority through demonstrations and evaluation tests at various proving grounds in extreme weather conditions, jungles, barren deserts and severely cold areas.
By demonstrating its ability to handle Indian as well as all NATO standard ammunitions, K9 VAJRA-T has proven its excellent conformability to any field artillery unit.
