Where is the HIT 155 howitzer?

At HIT. It went through initial HIT and army trials and was then sent back to HIT for further changes according to the data collected from these trials. The project is is still definitely active and hopefully we will see it in service soon.

GIDS is interoducing Ranger Hybrid VTOL surveillance UAV with 100km operational radius
Will come handy for countering enemy artillery batteries thanks to its rapid deployment flexibility.

Local barrel are already being used as replacement barrels for SP M109s

SIPRI lists 60 x A100 TELs in PA service but I'm not sure if thats correct. @PanzerKiel does PA have 36 TELs or 60 TELs in service.

Also since Fatah is essentially just different rocket pods on same A100 launcher, so is PA acquiring new Fatah TELs or just retrofiting existing A100s with new pods.

Interesting. I presume the config is 2 batteries per regiment . Same as IA smerch (1 Reg = 6+6 tels)

A local towed 155mm should also be put in production then since a barrel is conceived. Towed pieces need upgradations.

End of 2024

End of 2024

Towed ?

 

[Bossman]

Yes, for now. AK Chassis and our experience with M109s will be the future
