And have you heard of the ARCHER-L52, 155MM 52Caliber, from BAE ? It's a WHEELED SELF PROPELLED ARTILLERY system, which India eventually plans to license manufacture 400 of these highly mobile systems.

Cheers!

Fearing retaliation from India after the 26/ 11 attacks, Pakistan went on an overdrive in constructing defence mechanisms such as bunkers, outposts and observation towers on its side of the border with India.
The Indian government has released figures to Parliament pertaining to the construction undertaken by the Pakistani government on its side of the border between November 2003 - when both countries declared a ceasefire - and December 2011.
The figures show that compared to 63 bunkers constructed by India in 2007 and 85 bunkers in 2008, Pakistan constructed 133 bunkers in 2009 and as many as 159 in 2010.
Till the October end this year, Pakistan constructed another 119 bunkers. It also doubled the construction of observation towers on the border in 2009, erecting 48 new towers in 2009 compared to just 24 towers in 2008.
The construction of outposts by Pakistan went up from 34 and 54 in 2007 and 2008 respectively to 67 in 2009.
Leaked US cables on WikiLeaks had earlier revealed how Pakistan had complained to the US that India was preparing for war after the 26/ 11 attacks and had mobilised forces on its border.
In her recent book, No High Honours, then US secretary of state Condoleezza Rice has also said Pakistan pressed the panic button after the 26/ 11 attacks and called everyone from the Chinese to the Americans, saying India had decided to go to war.
The Indian government in fact says that Pakistan has constructed a total of 856 new bunkers, 261 morchas, 378 observation towers and 143 border outposts on its side of the border since both countries declared a ceasefire in November 2003.
“The government has seen reports that Pakistan has constructed and carried out repair of bunkers, morchas and towers.
Regarding such construction work, protests have been lodged with Pakistan Rangers and Flag Meetings of the field commanders have been held in all the cases. The matter has also been taken up by the BSF with Pakistan Rangers during scheduled meetings,” minister of state for external affairs, E. Ahmed, told the Rajya Sabha on December 1.

This is all hogwash. Go check Google Earth and right down from Sialkot to Sindh if you go along the border you can see the condition of outposts on both sides of the border. Unfotunately, the Indian outpost are bigger, better maintained, and have concrete berms surrounding their observation towers with a well laid out encampment area.

It is a different story on our side of the border where smaller outpost, most without obeservation towers, surrounded by earthen berms, poorly maintained structures are clearly visible. However, all of them have a clearly laid out helo landing pads behind the post itself.

Go figure out why these figures were published. Pakistan is noly trying to upgrade and repair its rapidly falling apart border posts. I have not seen any new out posts since 2009!
