I hope we do not stupidly sir and procure towed artillery in place of the denied SP howitzers. There are plenty of options in SP as well and any future replacement or addition to M109s should come in shape of SP howitzers. A5 however can be a great system to achieve that standardization ammunition goal set in Musharaf era which aimed at phasing out all others guns and sticking to 155mm only (then there were some ideas of keeping 122mm as well later on if i remember correctly)
If we can get TOT we can keep making them at a phase that we can afford and keep replacing our old guns of different calibers with this 1555mm and make this a standard for the armed forces. Easier to maintain and even more easy to resupply in battle field.
It is more about thinking on these lines and taking the required action rather than funding or finance!!
What do you think about this Sir
