Nagpur: Dhanush, the 155 x 45mm Indigenous Howitzer is made in the Swedish Bofor line, finally managed to successfully test the Fire at a full cost to get the maximum range.
It has a range of more than 38 km.
The cost refers to the quantity of ammunition which is filled in when firing a shell.
To reach the maximum range, the shell must be supported by maximum load or gunpowder.
In technical terms, it is called zone 6 ammunition for this gun.
The source said Dhanush was built at the Gun Carriage Factory (GCF) in Jabalpur.
After corporatization, he was under weapons and advanced Indian equipment Limited, headquartered in Kanpur.
The gun, which had taken almost a decade to finally be appointed by the army, has faced a number of problems during the fire.
There are 3 to 4 Instance of Moncle Brake Hit – The Shell crashes into the top of the barrel instead of flying.
This is the main obstacle in the final spread of weapons by the army.
The army has taken a gun, but the final spread is still caused by a problem.
The muzzle brake hit incident has occurred when the gun is fired at a zone 6 fee, said the source.
Now, the main obstacles have been passed and the gun is ready to be fired in full reach, sources add.
However, still a gun must go through the round of tested other reliability before finally being deployed by the army.
This is because another muzzle brake hit incident has happened this year, after that the investigation was based on and changes suggested.
The latest muzzle brake hit occurs when the army does exercise by creating a situation similar to real action.
Even weapons made by entities other than weaponry factories have suffered a muzzle brake incident during a period.
Production orders more than 100 Dhanush weapons with the factory continued and so far more than a dozen have been sent to the Army.
The final spread will depend on the reliability test, which is planned in November, said the source.
