ammunition supplied by the Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) and further probe into
the matter was on, the sources said.India had last procured howitzers in the
mid-1980s from Swedish defence major Bofors. Three more guns are to be supplied
to the Army in September 2018 for training.

trajectory, speed and frequency.India had received two M-777 ultra-light
howitzers in May, each worth around Rs 35 crore, after a gap of 30 years since
the Bofors scandal broke out, and the accident took place in one of them.The
