The induction of “Dhanush” artillery gun was today postponed. Last month, the Ordnance Factory Board was given the “bulk production clearance” for supplying 114 “Dhanush” guns — the first-ever indigenous 155mm x 45 calibre artillery gun.

The weapon is the first long-range artillery gun to be produced in India and is a major success story of the “Make in India” initiative. The gun is equipped with inertial navigation-based sighting system, auto-laying facility, on-board ballistic computation and an advanced day-and-night direct firing system. The self-propulsion unit makes the gun easily manoeuvrable. — TNS
