In end of 1990's there were around 20-25 (a def magazine quoted 30 also) artillery brigades supporting infantry and armor in PA. Even if few SPs are taken away, there were still a big number of towed regts. During a visit o HIT, there was a 105 mm L-7 gun (copy i think) placed on display which was being manufactured we were told. Considering that HIT claims," GUN Factory has the capability of producing barrels ranging from 105mm to 203mm caliber", and that 105 mm is rifled while 125 mm is smooth bore, then producing a howitzer of 105 mm or 155 mm caliber shouldn't be a big deviation, in fact much needed indigenization.We are not making any canons, barrels are being overhauled at base or regional workshops.
