That works out to 1.2 million per Howitzer which seems a bit too much unless there is a bribe factored in the deal. Deals like this generally include parts and support so that may make the per piece cost see higher.

With this Gov't the bribe factor is not there.

These guns are supposedly ultra-light-weight, being made from titanium, so they are easier to cart around the Himalayas.

Well, if they are made-to-order, and out of titanium no less, the price seems much more fair.

As these howitzers are a lot lighter than standard howitzers I wonder how they compensated for the recoil pushing against the lighter mass?
