[AsifIjaz]

lolz.... all over Pakistan... nishan thanks for the few minutes of laughter. much appreciate it

Pakistan should procure more and more 203mm artillery from US and other operators at Cheap. Upgrade them and use them all over Pakistan against terrorist. Try to develop guided rounds for such gun.

203 mm is old school system ... they have more weight
difficult to transport and their firing rate is very slow

all of the modern systems are 155 MM standards ... Should procure truck mounted 155 mm shoot and scoot capable ... these system can easily be transported and have internal magazine
advantages of 155 mm over 203 mm
their range is better and almost doubled than 203 mm
their sustain rate of fire is higher than 203mm
their accuracy and firing rate is better
all of the guided shells are available in world market are 155mm
they are easy to deploy

203 mm is obsolete

But if its for free then get it. Good for urban areas to shoot on Taliban hide outs.

As USA is going for a new 155mm then PA should ask for older 155mm from US.

in US SP howitzer Paladin is worth inducting .. but US isn't replacing them
while in Towed M198....M777 are best

again they aren't going to replace them

We are well stocked with artillery. We have formed 2 artillery divisions now. Surplus 155mm are available world wide

Any thing about SH-1??

I believe Air support is best support but if its not their Artillery is way better then tanks cripple and disperse enemy formations and as important as can be psychologically terrify them. A self propelled artillery is the only system that should be kept in mind and mrls and in least the towed. Pakistan should start inducting more and more mrls and Self propelled artillery's whether obsolete or new they are always better then towed. Towed are difficult to deploy and if caught in counter barrage are extremely difficult to flee.

Sipri data states that 36 SH1 have been delivered so far ...

But A pictorial evidence of service in PA is yet to seen ...
PA haven't release pictures publicly i guess

Many majors battle will be held in Kashmir and GB fronts ... SP arty there is no or little use ... PA should also focus on modern towed howitzers specially light weight that can be carry with Helicopter and can be deployed in harsh mountainous peaks ....

as india is going for M777 , the best bet for pakistan against it is Chinese light weight 155mm

300mm A-100/PHL rockets

Shown here is a comparison of size between a 120km range 300mm rocket, compared to lighter 122mm rockets and portable 107mm rockets.
