Heard after snipers big guns were the order of the day did the policy change?
On LOC, we have only field guns and towed howitzers deployed. They're usually at the rear HQs but in case of tensions, moved to forward locations. Tracked SPGs have mobility issues in mountainous terrain. Wheeled SPG covers that up but we don't have any in service.

Yes Towed Artillery Guns are on LOC. If India brings Artillery we would respond with Artillery
 
This gun has lots of modification and specially improvement of precision strike . A huge sum of money Italian spent for the improvement of these guns. Its an excellent deal for PA. Evey army try to adopt the equipment which is already in use. Otherwise induction of these toys are very expensive.
