Pakistan's Artillery Upgrade Discussions

[Signalian]

We are not making any canons, barrels are being overhauled at base or regional workshops.

In end of 1990's there were around 20-25 (a def magazine quoted 30 also) artillery brigades supporting infantry and armor in PA. Even if few SPs are taken away, there were still a big number of towed regts. During a visit o HIT, there was a 105 mm L-7 gun (copy i think) placed on display which was being manufactured we were told. Considering that HIT claims," GUN Factory has the capability of producing barrels ranging from 105mm to 203mm caliber", and that 105 mm is rifled while 125 mm is smooth bore, then producing a howitzer of 105 mm or 155 mm caliber shouldn't be a big deviation, in fact much needed indigenization.

Where this gun stands compared to other option available for Pakistan in terms of SPAs?

Nora B52 was awesome in the trials as well. My personal favourite.

Can we expect to see SH-15 on Pakistan day parade?

As initial plan was to buy two different Wheeled Artillery Guns. Any chance we may select two different types in coming months or years.

Do we have any intel on if Pakistan ever bought Chinese SH-1 122mm SPAs. Global Security and few other websites have mentioned PA got 90 SH-1s referencing SIPRI, but I haven't been able to find anything.

Sorry bro won't happen.

South African stuff requires too much investment because it has a high upside and lots of benefits for us in the long-term. Instead, we'll take out a loan and buy 300 units of some existing system, and like, never add to it.

Denel G6 is $3,272,000 while 46 ton. Rate of fire: 4 round/min, 2 round/min sustained.

Very bad choice.

South Africa rivals are just some guerilla, rebellions, while India is not.

46 tons weight vs 25 tons, totally different bridge and road adaptability. Not to mention desert area.

edit:
and by the way, the extra armor helps, but not very helpful against terminal-phase guided munition like below
