Not possible,since both are of L/52 caliber.I suspect the 54 km range mentioned, of the SH1 is for assisted rounds where as the 34 km of the Caesar is for regular unassisted full bore rounds.

Yes the 53-54 Km is with a rocket assisted V-LAP projectile.
While SH-1 is a great induction itself, i personally will LOVE to see some PLZ-52 with Pakistan army. This will give true modern artillery support with burst mode and simultaneous impact modes etc. PLZ-52 is a great machine indeed and is Pakistan can get a few of these it will be great. This, if inducted will without doubt become the best howitzer in Pakistan army and the region as well.

Just what I thought,thanks by the way,appreciate it.
As long as it is deadly who cares if it looks nice or not? We can make cosmetic nicer but the price will not be nice.they look ugly i don't like them

mmmm not auqat but may be preference sir jeei talk in my auqaat sir
. So it was M series howitzers i suppose. However sir, i think that the Chinese
PLZ-05 is the best option for us. The burst mode and MRSI features will give a major boost to Pakistan army.
For us the M series benefit is uniformity of platform otherwise technically the PLZ-05 is a great gun to have on your side. That is for self propelled howitzers off-course.

Are we going to manufacture the rest?Recently released data by SIPRI has confirmed that 36 (out of 90 ordered) Norinco SH-1 155mm SP howitzers have been delivered to Pakistan in 2013 and 2014.

Panter is semi mobile .. It's equipped with an engine to shoot n scot.. Also it's a much more modern gun with much more range than bofors and a modern FCS..(also produced in Pak )

the auxiliary unit just given it some mobility to position but not for scooting
yes..it is way more modern than bofor 155mm hwoitzer
It's like making full use of your limited budget. Think about other countries who still need to bear with old 60s, 70s antique with no spares coming. Pakistan situation is better.
Comparing with China is useless becos we have a 180bilion budget annually.
