It should be an option, but whether the Army thinks along those lines is another variable entirely.

Whether Pakistan pursues it or not it has great potential for becoming a viable force multiplier. I may make a thread soon about it but thanks for your opinion.

Excellent stuff. I was thinking along the same lines, but I would keep the possibility of NORINCO/Chinese and Serbian options open as well.

I cant find any info regarding the purchase of AH-4 howitzers , would you have any info ? given the possibility that they would be used to shoot extended range shells.

The "fantasy" narrative is BS.

You don't need to go far to find some documentation on Azm.

So, for a start, check out PAC's website to see how they've organized AvRID for the job.

Next, consult the MoDP yearbook for last year, AvRID's status update:

"First cycle of conceptual design phase has been completed. The first configuration that was designed based on the challenging performance requirements of PAF will go through three more cycles within the conceptual design using higher fidelity analysis tools and codes.”

There are no models because the project is still in its early stages. The PAF may roll Azm into the TF-X for the sake of getting R&D support, but as it stands today, Azm is an original design with work being done primarily in Pakistan.

Yo, the second link at the end of the excerpts should take you straight to the articles. Otherwise, you'll need to Crtl-F on the article list page.

Apologies. Will update Friday/Sat EST. Resume from Monday. Basically, illness and injury.

Thanks for the update. Hope you feel better soon. In the future, just send out a brief tweet so members are aware. Thanks for the reply.

I'll have to look into it
