Since, its inception in 1964, SP Guide Publications has consistently demonstrated commitment to high-quality journalism in the aerospace and defence sectors, earning a well-deserved reputation as Asia's largest media house in this domain. I wish SP Guide Publications continued success in its pursuit of excellence.
History may be around the corner for the Indian Army's artillery regiment, with the first ever acquisition deal for howitzer guns since the Bofors scam in the 1980s. The US Pentagon has provided final notification to the US Congress on the $885-million sale to India, the final step before an foreign military sales (FMS) deal is signed between the two governments. The contract has taken more than seven years to come to fruition, including several bumps along the way. The new guns will breathe fresh life into a beleaguered artillery arm that resigned itself to using vintage guns for nearly two decades.
A deal with BAE Systems, which currently owns Bofors Defence, is likely before the end of the fiscal, and will mark another major step ahead for Indo-US defence relations. The M777 will be deployed in the Northeast and Ladakh, and will be air-mobile with the IAF's new heavy-lift fleet.
