Those are 130mm.

From the gun shield and muzzle brake I think it might be a Type 59 130mm howitzer which is more or less the old Soviet M46

" The more you Sweat during Peace, the Less you will bleed in WAR "

This is what Pakistani military is taking care of. It was a routine exercise but it also sent a strong message from Pakistan to those who have some Evil Plans for us, we just want to tell them " If you want some , Come get some ". We are ready.

High standard of training, Equipment, Braveness and Readiness sets Pakistan military stand a part.

we need 155mm

Commonality of Artillary would be good but given the current inventory if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Alot of the equipment being used is tried tested and reliable.
