As per SIPRI database till 2019 we have acquired 151 M-109L from Italy out of 245 on offer, which mean our fleet should be

152 [Originally acquired from USA during the period of 1981-1989]
115 [2nd batch acquired from USA during the period 2007-2010]
151 [3rd batch acquired from Italy during 2017-2019]
418 [excluding 40 acquired from Canada as their status is not clear]

Based on opens source information Pakistan is not buying other Track Artillery system, Chinese artillery was a Truck mounter SH-15 artillery system which we bought around 115 pieces, as per last report related to SH-15 deliveries were not completed till last year.
