Foreplay.

While its a key component in war, we really need to move to 21st century weapons , such as smart bombs , automatic loading artillery - and ideally SAMs

These artillery units are sitting ducks from threat from air and helicopters

But its still wonderful that , we are self reliant in this key technology area

Pakistan needs to study the Ukraine-Russia conflict in detail and find out what works and what doesn't in real combat. A full spectrum analysis from the satellites, cyber and intelligence to the bullets being fired. Blind purchases to fill quantities isn't going to work we have to purchase the right products for the right adversary and time.

122 mm shell has much higher explosive to weight ratio than other shells in our inventory, thus having more destructive power i.e kill radius than 105 and not just because of heavier calibre.

Also, the D-30 variant is amazingly accurate, especially in terms of correction of fire, and is often nicknamed by gunners as 'sniper gun.

Aiming, elevation and Rotation is quick and easier than most guns
