Modernisation of artillery has been hampered:
Against the backdrop of the Bofors gun deal controversy, Army Chief General VK Singh Thursday said the modernisation of the artillery has been hampered, for which he blamed both military and civilian authorities.
The ongoing military reform is ``the imperative of time'' and necessitated by the current situation in the world and should make the army ``modern, mobile and combat capable'', President Dmitry Medvedev said.
