New Delhi is reportedly considering the acquisition of 400 long-range self-propelled artillery following their demonstrated effectiveness in Ukraine, as reported by government sources cited by Bloomberg.
The Indian Ministry of Defence conducted a study that concluded that such weapons "have a significant impact on battle outcomes."
These weapons come with features that enable them to swiftly change their position during combat, thereby avoiding retaliatory strikes from adversaries.
The Indian Armed Forces are aiming to reduce the time it takes to identify and fire upon targets from 5 to 10 minutes down to just one minute.
Most of India's self-propelled artillery units, totaling 100 howitzers, are stationed in disputed border regions with China.
