Pakistani Armed forced ready for New challenge with new Artillery

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

ISLAMABAD: The United States government officially delivered 48 self-propelled field artillery cannons to the Pakistan Army today at the Malir Cantonment in Karachi.

U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Michael Nagata, U.S. Office of the Defense Representative-Pakistan deputy commander, officially handed over the M1095A5 Howitzer self-propelled cannons to Pakistan Army Brigadier Farrukh Saeed, 25th Mechanized Division Artillery Commander, during a ceremony in Karachi. The event was attended by Mr. Steve Fakan, U.S. Consul General to Karachi, and more than a dozen U.S. and Pakistani military representatives.

The delivery marks the completion of a total purchase of 115 field artillery cannons by Pakistan through the United States’ foreign military sales/foreign military finance program. The FMS/FMF case was initiated by Pakistan in 2006 and enabled the Government of Pakistan to obtain the cannons from the United States at a greatly discounted rate.
“These field artillery cannons are an important part of enhancing the capabilities of Pakistan’s Army as it continues to wage its courageous fight against terrorists who seek to destroy Pakistan’s people and way of life,” said Brig. Gen. Nagata. “It is our hope that these weapons are ultimately able to play an important role in ending extremist violence and bringing peace once again to this great nation.”

During the last three years, U.S. civilian and security assistance to Pakistan has totaled more than $4 billion.

Never hurts to also have these in stock MRL A-100

old news man....whats your point.....

 

[FNFAL]

Wow..blast from the past

This was reported on this forum in 2010
US hands over new M-109 to PA


And that picture is of AS90s of the Brits...Rather this what M109 looks like. It would have been a news if you folks had got the palladin instead of this older model.

 

[As is - where is]

Mhm, you got 67 M109A5 in 2008 and 48 more in 2010. They are really good artillery pieces. We have 12 of them as well.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Well I think we really need to stress the improvements our forces have made in all 3 departments in recent times and with arrival of MRAP the improvement would further continue

Not to mention the advance training modules we got for Artillery Training simulation

simple
for trolling

 

[Interceptor2014]

I think Pakistan-Afghanistan-SriLanka-Bangladesh should acquire all of the 203m.m and 209m.m self propelled and towed system of artillery from US and other users and upgrade them with US supplied kits. In this way these closely neighbors can easily collaborate in terms of spares and operational readiness.

These shells are bigger than normal 155m.m

 

[Reichmarshal]

All M109 SP in PA have been upgraded to A 5 standard. Making them a very potent n lethal weapon. They this time the best SP system in South Asia by a long shot

 

[halfilhal]

So is this the reason for Pakistan's shelling then...Yay! got new weapons...lets try it out on India. been doing this since 1947.
