Akhnoor is located behind LOC. This area of LOC is tank passable, as seen in 1965 operation Grandslam.Akhnoor isn't located along LoC. The division was converted into a RAPID keeping in view the vulnerability of the area.
30 Corps has two IABG's right across and some of it's infantry battalions have been apparently mechanized in last 3 years following delivery of VCC-1 Camillino. Then, there is the 1 Corps.
Alcotan is useful everywhere - in areas providing cover, i.e., buildings/houses and even in the desert: have 1 soldier with Alcotan in every section sitting inside an APC.
Regarding SP mortar, PA has a large inventory of Type 59's - a few hundred should be converted into SP mortar or ATGM carrier vehicles with fire on the move ATGM's like Ingwe (and possibly HJ-12).
In case of Alcotan, there are better options out there with better specs like RPG-29, AT-4 upgraded series, Panzerfaust 3 etc. The confined space element seems to be the only difference.
I doubt PA will convert any MBT into APC or SP.
