Source doesn't seems to be credible enough.
What are they doing!!Reportedly, Pakistan Army has acquired a 155 mm KH-179 howitzer from South Korea.
It seems to be true. There were some reports of interest in towed artiller and this might well be a result of that.Source doesn't seems to be credible enough.
But it mentioned only 2 pieces? Are they coming for trials yet?
Finally some good news if true. We have quite good SP Artillery Systems but our Towed Artillery Guns are way old we needed new beasts and South Korea has been offering us weapons and also interested in building shipyard in Gawader. Media a year back also reported that Pakistan showed interest in PAK-50 Fighter Trainer but no news of that. But if this is true than it's good start @HorusReportedly, Pakistan Army has acquired a 155 mm KH-179 howitzer from South Korea.
Lolz!!Finally some good news if true.

Yes a year two ago media reported that Pakistan may buy these and also interested in Tank engine from South KoreaLolz!!
So here comes the list! GREAT!!
BTW, there is no such thing as a PAK-50 Fighter Trainer. Perhaps you wanted to say KAI T-50 Golden Eagle
JF17B is the answer. T-50 interest is sort of over now though it was reported to have been THOUGHT about (not saying looked into).
If they want hundreds of guns, they should have looked for a local solution or atleast get complete transfer of technology for the guns.Lolz!!

And where have ANYONE said that we are not going to do that?If they want hundreds of guns, they should have looked for a local solution or atleast get complete transfer of technology for the guns.
KH-179 is an upgrade of old M114,39 howitzer... not really a new gun.Yes a year two ago media reported that Pakistan may buy these and also interested in Tank engine from South Korea
You can ask the Koreans to upgrade our older M-114 ... instead of buying these.And where have ANYONE said that we are not going to do that?
Please understand this my dear:
In other words, the decision of importing or making them at home is far from being finalized.
- The is a supposed news (though likely)
- It is just ONE gun that we have accquired (most definitely confirming trials)
- It is most likely that other options will be looked at as well
Media also shows picture of Babur missile when reporting the test firing of Shaheed three so there is that!!Yes a year two ago media reported that Pakistan may buy these and also interested in Tank engine from South Korea
And dont you think we need to first see for our self how good those M-114 can be after upgrade? Ergo the procurement of one Kh179 for trials?KH-179 is an upgrade of old M114,39 howitzer... not really a new gun.

We have over 150 of those guns, and we can either replace them or give them a cheap upgrade.Media also shows picture of Babur missile when reporting the test firing of Shaheed three so there is that!!
Yes we were looking for a LIFT but JF17B is most likely an response to that (along with export requirement).
For tank engine, Ukraine is what we would be relying upon for some years to come. Best to get both 1200 hp and 1500 hp with ToT and look for some 800-1000 hp as well if possible.
Yes there were some talks about these things but that was not an official interest and it is long dead story now.

PA's M114:This gun is used on board the K9 SPH. K9 is made by Turkey as well and its procured by India!
DesertFighter is right we should get the M114 upgraded to this standard at least.
