Army Brings in Artillery For LoC Fight

[Indian Patriot]

India lacks self-propelled tube artillery. The state of Indian tube artillery is pathetic and that is an understatement. India scores in missile artillery like the SMERCH and Brahmos but they cannot be deployed to LOC for obvious reasons.

120mm mortars and 105mm arty has been used in Kashmir for a long time by both sides. 155mm arty is "heavy" arty in conventional sense and India does not have many 155mm guns. Only 400 bofors guns count as India's 155mm inventory. Unless drastic steps are taken Indian tube artillery will continue to suffer.

It depends, even we have people who like MQM or the ANP goons.. so no surprise if there are people like you there too who thinks like that.

There are jokers on both sides of the border.

Huh,what an idioT!!The 155mm ones fall into medium category.

There are jokers on both sides of the border.

You being on the forefront of them!!

Funny, that you should bring that up. When exactly has the great PA every won a war?

All PA does is spoil all the hard work done by PAF, due to sheer incompetence

Do you have any Idea what will happen to foreign investments if India get involved in conflict with any of its neighbor? War is poison for economy.

Indian economy is not about fdis only, surely war would slow the growth rate but it will create a havoc for pakistani army moreover your lifeline your CPEC would be in danger as India would surely try to occupy P0K...

Please do not compare your country political situation with ours....

At Pakistan, Army chief is whole and sole, everything passes through him ...But in India PM is the powerful person and Army obey him..... In short pakistan owned by army , but here, India owns a powerful ARMY.

Obviously you will find difference between the approach with both country and countryman.

I believe enough said.

Yeah yeah,I guess age has taken its toll on his majesty,that's why he's been facing difficulties in reading the figures!!Mikhail said,Indian Army had 1200 M46 artillery guns,which is totally correct assumption if we consider the number of M46 regiments currently operational in Indian Army artillery units and the number of guns per regiment!!There are 60 M46 medium regiments at present and every regiment is made of a complement of 20 M46 field guns!!So now do the math or would that be too hard on his majesty's aging brain??

As a matter of fact,we do,kiddo!!The M46 guns have a listed range of 28 kms with regular full bore shots compare to the 21 kms of your M198s!!

Yeah yeah,and we have got 420 FH77B,which are very similar to your M198 and are in the process of being replaced by its upgunned cousin.

72 to be exact,a very good system and congratulations for that.

True,but you have remember that these are older,L/39 systems and hence,can not be compared to their more modern counterparts,like PLZ52 or Archer and Caeser et al,which has got more range than the former.Don't misunderstand my statement,I'm not saying the M-109s are bad or obsolete,far from it.............but there are better options available.

A year old news,a master stroke by your generals.This shows they posses got more brain cells that ours do,or perhaps we have pampered our generals so much that they have become spoilt brats!!

True that,but both of these two armies are trained under nearly identical training regimes,both being the remnants of the erstwhile British Indian Army.

We won't,we do not even underestimate ragtag militiamen,let alone underestimating one of the strongest armies at present!!

And you really expect that we will not fire back ?

Well if you talk about political control, no doubt about that. India is MUCH MUCH better then Pakistan at that. However ifyou can refer to the starting post that was never the case i made. The thing i pointed too was that both have fair share of stupid and dumb politicians. Now it sure is your choice if you think that you don't have any such politicians, all i can say is that you will find many Indians who will disagree with you. So no need for me to look bad and point you to those politicians and THOSE antics that make them look stupid

There are jokers on both sides of the border.

There sure are.
