The Indian Army recently conducted rigorous testing of the Garuda 105 Go Anywhere Gun, a groundbreaking mobile artillery system developed by Kalyani Strategic Systems Limited (KSSL). The testing included an airdrop operation from an Indian Air Force (IAF) C-17 Globemaster, showcasing the system’s capability to be deployed swiftly to any required location, thus underlining its strategic deployability and tactical mobility.

Designed as a lightweight, modular, and high-performance howitzer, the Garuda 105 aims to redefine the standards in light artillery with its advanced features. It stands out as a superior alternative to traditional systems like the 106mm Recoilless Rifle, 120mm Mortar, and other 105mm artillery due to its unique attributes, including low-cost precision strike capabilities.
