flag India nears deployment of ramjet-powered artillery shells, boosting range 30-50% with existing howitzers.

flag India’s Army is on the verge of becoming the first in the world to deploy ramjet-powered 155 mm artillery shells, developed with IIT Madras and the Army Technology Board. flag The technology extends range by 30% to 50% without sacrificing power, using air-breathing ramjets that ignite at speeds above Mach 2. flag Successful trials at Pokharan show the system can retrofit existing shells, enabling integration with current artillery like the M777 howitzer. flag The advancement enhances long-range strike capabilities, supports India’s self-reliance goals, and offers a cost-effective alternative to missiles. flag Final testing is underway before potential operational use.
