Italy delivering surplus self-propelled howitzers to Pakistan Army

Can these older NATO standard 155mm guns fire chinese smart (GPS and Laser guided) Chinese 155mm munitions ?
 
Mechanized Brigades have been added to many Infantry Div's in the plains, in addition to the existing 3× Inf Brigades + Divisional Artillery.

33 Div is HQed at Quetta, but that doesn't mean its operations are limited to Balochistan.
That is a massive punch!
 
last i heard these pieces recently bought from italy were in prestine condition barely used.
then why not take the whole lot.
or italians expect another deal
If the enemy is as confused, then our aim has been achieved.

33 Div's imp aside - the effect of adding a Mech Bde would be impressive. Everything in abundance eh :D
 
I don't think it does. The K9 is better than all existing M109 in Pakistani service.
if Range of projectile is the factor, then its not the deciding factor in maneuver warfare where K9 will be used opposite M-109.

can we upgrade our m109 to paladin?
A new chinese or turkish SPG should be trialled instead.

In some books, its supposed to operate in 5-Corps Ops area, plugging gaps even, but then again who knows.
