We are producing large numbers of these guns in country.
The SH1 is a wheeled self-propelled howitzer 155mm designed and manufactured by the Chinese Defence Company Norinco. Compared with other similar artillery system, the SH1 has advantages such as a high mobility, large fire-power, fast hit capability, modular design, good coast-effectiveness, etc. The SH1 was presented for the first time to the public at the Defence Exhibition in Dubai, IDEX 2010. The SH1 artillery system has a combat weight of 22,500 kg, and is operated by a crew of five. The SH1 was unveiled in 2007, and according to the Chinese defence Company NORINCO, development of this system commenced in 2002 and so far two examples have been completed, one prototype and one pre-production system. When compared with tracked howitzer, the wheeled self-propelled systems offer a number of advantages, including lower operating and support costs and greater strategic mobility. In 2009, Pakistani army receives the first batch batch of SH-1 155mm self-propelled howitzer. Although the exact number of Pakistan SH-1 155mm self-propelled howitzer under contract is not known but it is likely to be around 90. The SH1 is alos in service in the Myanmar Army.
We have also received about 150 M-109A5 from the US and also upgraded about 300 guns to A5 standard which greatly increases our Mechanized and Armored formations.
How are any of these going to survive CBU-105 Sensor Fused Weapons dropped from Jaguars?
These are some 90 Iraqi tanks, destroyed by 3 such SFWs dropped from 1 bomber -
There's very little Pakistan can achieve with American weapons that are gonna be killswitched at the
slightest hint of war. And the Chinese alternatives are worst. Nobody even buys Chinese weapons much
outside Pak,,,desperate countries with desperate weapons and desperate bank accounts shouldn't mess
with the world's 3rd largest purchasing power GDP.
