Italy delivering surplus self-propelled howitzers to Pakistan Army

They have plenty of other Artillery

Overall our Artillery Systems are much better than the Indians.

Can these older NATO standard 155mm guns fire chinese smart (GPS and Laser guided) Chinese 155mm munitions ?

Like have you researched? I did with Wikipedia and we were lacking both in quality and quantity

The bulk of our artillery Systems are of US origins. Their Guns are accurate and have a greater barrel life in them. We still even use the 203mm towed RANI TOOPS(M115), that still have a lot of life left in them.

It is 33 Division. Nothing strange nowadays.

Everything has become confusing.

Everything has become confusing.

If the enemy is as confused, then our aim has been achieved.

Everything has become confusing.

Mechanized Brigades have been added to many Infantry Div's in the plains, in addition to the existing 3× Inf Brigades + Divisional Artillery.

33 Div is HQed at Quetta, but that doesn't mean its operations are limited to Balochistan.

That is a massive punch!

last i heard these pieces recently bought from italy were in prestine condition barely used.
then why not take the whole lot.
or italians expect another deal

Delivers a similar punch at similar ranges at a fraction of cost.

I don't think it does. The K9 is better than all existing M109 in Pakistani service.

These are the Upgrades for US M109s Something parallel to this would be good for Pakistan.

33 Div's imp aside - the effect of adding a Mech Bde would be impressive. Everything in abundance eh

range is not the only factor
these r field arty systems which move with the other units so short range is just fine

if Range of projectile is the factor, then its not the deciding factor in maneuver warfare where K9 will be used opposite M-109.

A new chinese or turkish SPG should be trialled instead.

In some books, its supposed to operate in 5-Corps Ops area, plugging gaps even, but then again who knows.

 

[Aamir Hussain]

Same is the case with Armoured elements stationed at Quetta. They are included in the Ops planning of 5 Corps.
