    You make due with what you have, something is better than nothing, heck even seen some post somewhere using the 3.7 inch How. It's not the QF factor, it just that they are there and aval and ammo is aval in excess.

    Italy delivering surplus self-propelled howitzers to Pakistan Army

    You answered your own question, because of the longer barrel, which enables more proppelent energy to be transferred to the projectile and also stabilises the round more as it travels for a longer duration in the barrel.

    In simple terms It is the length of Barrel measured in the diameter of the barrel. A 39 Cal 155 mm gun would mean a shorter barrel, A 52 Cal 155 mm gun would mean a longer barrel.

    Yes, they are deployed there, and the artillery calculator AFDCD is being used, but not for the 25 Pdr for that the calc is the old FX 880, you are confusing AFDCD and AFCS Former is a computing device and the later a control system. The later is what you mean and NO it has not been deployed yet.

    Being 39 Cal would mean Rg around 17-18 kms on Normal Charge, 24 with Charge Super and 30 with RAP. Website vs on ground is different, please don't ask me how I know ON ground. Edit: 25 Pdrs using them? Funny.

    The 37 mm Ack Ack is Air Defense and that too very basic. And for the second point of Artillery Control system, Nope that's not correct sorry.

    HIT would touch the systems that are responsible for the movement of the equipment and barrel, e.g thr Drive train, Engine, different Cylinders, tracks etc. Upgradation as some mentioned from A2 to A5 is not done. Battle worthiness is not an issue, heck we even made old 3.7 Inch, 25 Pdr and old...

    Next Iraeli airstike against IRGC, Israel directly attacking Iran!

    Everything aside, No one gets the feeling that Current attacks, Netanyahus and Trumps statement hint towards an attempt to intice Iran and Syria into retaliating, which might give them excuse for furthering their negative agenda? I mean EU nations are taking side of Iran, and America/Israel...

    To be honest my friend, HIT doesn't even touch Artillery, it's 502 that does it and there is no concept of upgrading of artillery in Pakistan, the best we can do is Base OverHaul and in even that we can't fix the Barrel or Chamber.

    "Free" statement might be technically right. Not disclosing anything else these came almost dirt free but lacked some aspects that were catered for locally. Nevertheless a much needed addition of strength.
