Pakistan's Artillery Upgrade Discussions

[PanzerKiel]

Would it make sense to buy old stocks and spare parts from around the world to increase the numbers and service for the M1 and M115 or invest in the less expensive and proven 130mm type-59 field gun? Do we need more barrels to keep India at bay in the field of artillery?

Right now we are using a combination of both. Like we still use 25 Pdr in some areas. But otherwise, we are going for new ones.

Answer would be the same. Numbers wont and dont decide. Tactics, the way they are employed, that will decide. In 1965, our 4 Corps Artillery, though less in number, played havoc with Indians since it was employed as a punch. Indians, though superior in numbers, distributed theirs in penny packets. Kudos to Brig Amjad Chaudhary for that.

What's the best tactical artillery move or reaction regarding the Indian bombardments in the Nheelum valley?

Target Indian posts which are firing or directing the fire.

Send in the BATs to mow down a patrol party. Indian Army understands coffins very well. The most effective tool is to inflict casualties, not to waste the precious ammunition.

Time to put SH-15 with ERFB RA/BB ammo to good use, not sure if we have the BeiDou guidance incorporated but if we do, their FSBs should get obliterated.

I guess the maximum calibre we use along LC is 130mm. Which was used today hence the casualties in Kupwara occured pretty deep.

Yes but India has introduced Dhanush to the theater now, so Pakistan will need to respond in kind or via some other way. I'd prefer guided projectiles at their FSBs for a one-time lesson.

This is an only an ideal response unfortunately

Nops, this is a very normal response, as per procedure.happens often.

I was referring to the 3 civvie casualties, apparently happened pretty deep inside IoK.

GPS guided mortars are needed IMO.

We have their FSBs mapped out. Would hope they match the caliber, like the usual.
