Yes sir. It will be tricky with weight reaching 3800 Kg but it is possible. Also it will be a good option considering it have a decent range in 105mm. We can always leave a few exceptions for special requirement and do not try and standardize them to 155mm.@Arsalan The Denel LEO 105mm is light enough to be carried by our Mi-171s.
Take a look at this picture posted by someone on social media. It is clearly Denel T5-52 155 mm SPH mounted on 8x8 truck chassis.

I guess Nora B-52 has lagged in trials..

Both Denel T5-52 and Nora B52 are excellent systems as per our needs. Both have a good rate of fire, excellent range for a 52 cal howitzer, are self propelled and wheeled so that makes access to the northern areas easy and both come with MRSI impact which is the big thing in artillery these days and increases combat effectiveness multi-folds!
True. These are primarily meant for Sindh and South Punjab plains however they still are easier to take to the northern areas than the tracked ones and will find good use there was well. SH-1 lacked on a few fronts and both these can fill in that gap effectively and are being looked at with that in mind. However the main application is in south.Both are based on 8x8 truck chassis. They are most likely for units responsible for arid areas of Sindh and South Punjab. 90 Norinco SH-1's based on 6x6 truck chassis were ordered for GB & AJK few years back. I believe the lighter (22 ton) SH-1 is more suitable for those areas than 28 ton T5-52 or Nora B-52K1. Driving a 8x8 truck (with more length than a 6x6 truck) on narrow hilly roads is prone to mishaps.

It was not here alone in 2015 and ALL of them were sent back. Some have returned back and are under evaluation again. It is not the right time to talk about which ones or where or other details like that. However now that you mentioned 2015 trials i can confirm that those are over, no gun was selected and now there are some guns back in Pakistan for further evaluation after some modifications and improvements were made.A few regiments may be put to service in somewhat less hilly areas in AJK like Mirpur, Muzaffarabad, etc but I don't see them going to GB (which has horrible terrain, poor roads). One Nora B-52 SPH (K1 or the armoured K-I variant) was in Pakistan in the first half of 2015 (May or June) and was extensively trialed. I believe it has lagged in some conditions. That is the reason PA sent RFI on T5-52 to Denel this year. And now Denel Group Acting CEO Zwelakhe Ntshepe is claiming it has performed very well.
I expect a contract by the end of 2016.
India has a lot of influence on Denel /RSA.
