Re: Pakistan Armed Forces: News & Discussion

Some one on Twitter had zoomed into the released pics and clearly indicated that the missile in question was PL-15E., the export version with reduced range of 145 km.

Re: Artillery Corps: News & Discussion

UAV may be. WLR is active and gives away location—nothing like actual telemetry to register the hit. The procedure is called Direction of Own Artillery Fire (DOOAF). There are two scenarios possible: 1. There is a direct line of sight to the target ie target is visible to an observer or a ground ba...

Re: Artillery Corps: News & Discussion

Shoot and scoot is very much applicable in the mountains I remember the video of the general. More than shoot and scoot, he mentioned the loose soil of the Himalayan mountains as the reason.

Re: Artillery Corps: News & Discussion

As a veteran gunner, I humbly disagree with the Gen. Shoot and scoot is very much applicable in the mountains. The only areas where it's not possible are the ones where we have faiped to develop a road network. I have seen the ATAGS fire in the mountains, during its trials and it is beyond anything ...
