India artillery upgrade stuck, Pak gets howitzers

Indias artillery modernisation has been stuck due to scam scares ever since the Bofors scandal but Pakistan has gone ahead, equipping its army with the latest guns that now threaten to give it an edge over the Indian Army.

While India has not received even a single new artillery gun in the last two decades, Pakistan recently received a batch of 67 self-propelled artillery guns from the US using War against Terror funds granted by Washington.

Latest United Nations data reveal that delivery of the M-109 A5 self-propelled artillery guns took place last year. The guns were transferred under the US Foreign Military Financing (FMF) programme that was granted to Pakistan for the fight against militant groups on its border with Afghanistan.

Experts say these M-109 A5 155 mm howitzers give Pakistan a definite conventional edge over the Indian Army that is years away from induction of similar systems. The most modern guns in the Indian Army are the Bofors that were procured in the 1980s.

While the Indian Army modernisation is getting nowhere, Pakistan is steadily modernising not only its artillery but other arms and services as well. This will lead to erosion in Indias conventional superiority if not checked immediately, said Brigadier Gurmeet Kanwal, a former artillery officer, who heads the Armys think tank, Centre for Land Warfare Studies (CLAWS).

In the Nineties, the Indian Army had put forward a requirement for guns similar to the ones that Pakistan has now got. While the plan took off in 1999, it got scrapped after eight years of trials after South African firm Denel was blacklisted by the government. Israels Soltham and Singapore Technologies, the other artillery giants, have also been blacklisted by the government

Pakistan Airforce: The largest distributor of Indian airforce parts in Asia



Pathankot Strike
8 F-86Fs of No 19 Squadron led by Squadron Leader Sajjad Haider struck Pathankot airfield. With carefully positioned dives and selecting each individual aircraft in their protected pens for their strafing attacks, the strike elements completed a textbook operation against Pathankot. Wing Commander M G Tawab, flying one of the two Sabres as tied escorts overhead, counted 14 wrecks burning on the airfield. Among the aircraft destroyed on the ground were nearly all of the IAFs Soviet-supplied Mig-21s till then received, none of which were seen again during the War.

well kid... i didnt give you hindus "pathological liars" tag just like that.. infact every single of your military book is the result of you guys being such bunch of slumi jumpin monkeys... well loser... Patoon naggar was nothing but ego satisfying fake victory attempt by the indian army to save its @ss from public humiliation.. soo all they did was line up destroyed tanks collected across the pak-indo borders and line up for a while and tell their stupid people that hey we just destroyed 100+ tanks in a single battle after getting our @sses handed over by 5 times smaller army.. if that was the case then these pathological liars hindu army would have never ever scattered around those tanks so that when international monitors count them they will be like.. huh?? but i only see 2-3 rows with hardly 30 tanks??
such things only keep indians wanking happy.
