Brazil has shown keen interest in acquiring the Garuda 105_v2 4×4 Go-Anywhere Gun, a lightweight artillery system developed by India’s Kalyani Strategic Systems Limited (KSSL). The interest was recently confirmed by P. Kumaran, Secretary (East) in the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Brazil for the BRICS Summit from July 5 to 8.The Garuda 105_v2, mounted on a versatile 4×4 chassis, is designed for high mobility and precision strikes, making it ideal for diverse terrains, including high-altitude regions.
Weighing just 900 kg due to its innovative hybrid recoil technology and high-strength aluminum construction, it offers a range of up to 19.5 km with rocket-assisted projectiles. This aligns with Brazil’s interest in enhancing its defence capabilities through international collaboration.
Kumaran highlighted ongoing discussions on defence cooperation, including joint ventures and technology sharing, with the Garuda 105_v2 emerging as a key platform of interest. This move reflects India’s growing defence export potential under the ‘Make in India’ and ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ initiatives, positioning the system as a contender for foreign markets before its full induction into the Indian Army.
