Pakistan's Artillery Upgrade Discussions

The number is ~400 as per Serbian news paper report!
400 is a big number, It's definitely gonna come with ToT. Recently, I have witnessed most of our contracts/procurement are ToT based and also it has kick started standardisation of equipment. In the past, the process was hampered by western aid.

My mistake its ~500 total with ~400 to be assembled in Pakistan I stand corrected!

Pakistan’s Ministry of Defence Production (MoDP) met with Yugoimport-SDPR in February at IDEX in the United Arab Emirates. Serbian news outlets, such as Politika, reported that Pakistan told Yugoimport-SDPR that it would seek 500 SPH, of which 400 would need to be built in Pakistan. The Pakistan Army’s Director General of Artillery also visited Serbia in January.

Brandt MO-120-AM-50 M67, manufactured by PMTF Karachi.

Pakistan needs the 120mm SP mortar in bad way.

PA acquired M106A2 mortar carriers from Jordan 3 years back, I was hoping the 107mm mortar will be replaced with 81 or 120mm, but the recent MODP report revealed the first batch of 39 has been converted for troop carrier role which is so disappointing.

According to a source these Italian Howitzers are as new and have rarely been put to use. Upgrade their subsystems and they're at par with our A5s.
Italy had 256 of them locally produced most are in storage if we can get all of them it would be great

The main change on the M109L is the replacement of the existing 23 calibre barrel with a 39 calibre barrel. Externally this is configured to the M109 mounting, but internally it is ballistically similar to the FH-70 configuration and can thus fire existing M107 ammunition or FH-70 ammunition. Firing L15 HE projectiles the M109L has a maximum range of 24,000 or 30,000 m with assisted ammunition.

In addition to the installation of a new ordnance, the following have been modified:

(1) recoil buffers and run-out buffer

(2) cradle to fit the new ordnance

(3) replacement of the equilibrator and elevating cylinder

(4) barrel clamp to fit new barrel.

The new 155 mm 39 calibre barrel is fitted with a revised muzzle brake, with the maximum recoil increase on the M109L being only 100 mm. The existing breech and breech ring of the original M109 have been retained.

The elevating mass, as modified, is interchangeable with that on the basic M109, furthermore the mechanical interface between the elevating mass and saddle, as well as the mountings of the optical device, do not require any modification.

To reduce operator fatigue and increase rate of fire, a rammer can also be fitted to the M109L system.
