Hey Guys do we really have SH-1 or not because no deal was signed also for A-100 MRLS but we have those in our Arsenal so wikkipedia is saying we have more than 200 SH-1 Artillery is their any truth in it or not @Rashid Mahmood @Alpha1 @Artillery
acquisitions of artillery with advanced capabilities is in marked contrast to the problems being experienced by the indian army in this domain.
Self-Propelled Howitzers
it was decided in 2005 that the army urgently required more self-propelled medium and heavy artillery pieces, and agreement with the US was reached in 2006 for supply of M109A5 155mm SPH at an estimated cost of USD56m. deliveries were completed in 2010, with the order totalling 115 units.
NORINCO may also supply approx. 90 SH1 155mm SPH although no contract negotiations have been announced.
155mm M109A2 - 200 in service
155mm M109A5 - 115 in service
203mm M110A2 - 40 in service (60 original)
105mm M7 - 50 in service (kept in reserve)
Towed Howitzers
in 2007, 12 turkish 155mm T-155 Panter towed howitzers were delivered and it is understood that local assembly has been undertaken in Pakistan, at the HIT facility for a further 18 platforms. ammo for the T-155 is also being manufactured domestically by POF under a deal signed in 2008 with Nexter munitions of France. additionally Pakistan has purchased 10 artillery simulators from Turkey, the first of which entered service at the School of Artillery in 2008.
105mm Model 56P - Pack Howitzer - 110 in service
105mm M101 - Howitzer - 216 in service (original 300)
122mm Type 83 (D-30) - Howitzer - 143 in service
122mm Type 54 (M-30) - Howitzer - 490 in service
155mm M198 - Howitzer - 124 in service

85mm Type 56 - Field Gun - 180 in service
100mm Type 59 - Field Gun - n/a
122mm Type 60 (D-74) - Field Gun - 200 in service
155mm M59 - Medium Gun - 30 in service
Multiple Rocket Launcher System
Pakistan is developing its own MRLS, the Azar. this is likely being done in conjunction with China as it appears similar to the Chinese Type 81. Pakistan may also have an agreement to acquire 36 300mm A100 MRLS from China, but formal details have not been forthcoming.
107mm Type 81 - MRS - n/a
122mm Type 83 (Azar) - MRS - 45 in service
122mm BM-11 - MRS - n/a
122mm HE Yarmuk - MRS - n/a
Self-Propelled Mortars
Pakistan is seeking to procure self-propelled mortar systems to equip mechanized infantry formations with indigenous firepower to complement the recent improvement in Pakistans SP artillery formations. this capability is seen as a requirement given the planned increases in the number of fully mechanized formations, but both the Artillery Directorate and Strike Corps are more concerned with the effectiveness of SP Howitzers, and hence mortar procurement is likely to take second place and be based around converted M113's or similar systems.
120mm - Heavy Mortar - n/a
81mm - Light Mortar - n/a
60mm - Light Mortar - n/a
