Alexander's letter to his mentor Aristotle mentions a type of weapon similar to the firearms used by Indians Alexander "observed the terrible torrents of fire from the Indian troops during the war in India " --History of the World, 3rd vol Durgadas Lahiri.
But what kind of firearms were these? According to William Carey and Marshman Sahib, the name of the firearm in the Ramayana was "Shikhar " The Harivamsa contains the word " firearm ".
Also in the Ramayana and Mahabharata, the weapon "Nalik" is mentioned The name "Nalik" is due to its shape resembling a reed The word "Cannon" is derived from the Latin "canna," meaning "cannon," as the cannonball would go out through a large reed "Canna" means "reed," which is the same as the name given to the cannon described in the Ramayana-Mahabharata.
Another name for this cannon was "Shatghni " The name " Shatghni" is due to the fact that hundreds of people died from its impact.

Later, the writings of the poet Chand Bardai of Rajasthan mention firearms The Portuguese navigator Vasco-da-Gama sailed around the Cape of Good Hope and reached the port city of Calicut in southern India, seeing a colourful procession and a Nair making a gun noise Firearms were known to be in widespread use in Vijayanagara, another Hindu kingdom in southern India at the time.
In addition, sculptures on various temples in South India also bear witness to the use of firearms in the country For example, the Adi Jagannath temple in Madurai, South India, has a soldier with a firearm The centennial mandapam in Kanchi, South India, has a gun-toting scene The hall adjacent to the Shiva temple in Coimbatore has a statue of a soldier with a gun.
Also, the large temple gate of Shangarpanisvara, which is divided into eleven floors in Kumbakonam, South India, has a five-storey statue of a soldier with a gun at the top.

This is all about firearms Let's talk about war chariots In the land war, various war chariots are found in Ramayana-Mahabharata There are also Vayurathas For example, Poundraraja's'Vayujava'chariot is mentioned in Harivamsa There is also Pushpaka's chariot in Lankakanda of Ramayana (123, 125, 129 Sarga) On the other hand, Shalvaraja's battle with Krishna is described in the Vanaparva of Mahabharata (< ID1 > chapter).
There Shalvaraja comes to the war in a big war-carriage called "Saubhnagar ".

The war-craft is said to have accommodated many soldiers Shalvaraja built the "Saubhangara" war-craft It moved on water, on land, in space, on the mountain peaks, and from this war-craft, weapons and embers were thrown at Krishna Buddhist literature also mentions the Akashyana.
For example, the Buddhist literature Abhidhaka Kalpalata (93 Pallava) mentions that Gautama Buddha himself, along with Kaundilya, Mahakashyap, Asiajit, Upali, Katyayana and 12 other monks and the Buddha's son Rahula, travelled from Sravasti to Poundranagar in northern Bengal, a distance of over a hundred and fifty yojanas in a single day.
The route is over 1280 miles in modern measurements.

Thus, the pages of various Indian texts are full of references to weapons, war vehicles, aeroplanes, and yet little research has been done on these subjects.
