[The Telegraph] For 22 years, the Bofors shadow stymied the army’s efforts to buy heavy artillery. But now the defence ministry has come out with a list of big guns that it says it is “in the process of buying”.Topping the list of competitors is — no prizes for guessing — Bofors in a new avatar. Also, the US government and BAE Land Systems have taken the edge over a rival Singaporean firm with the government confirming that the army was going to buy ultra-light howitzers through the Pentagon’s direct foreign military sales route, skirting competition.
