The country’s military showcased the multi-dimensional capabilities and highlighted key inductions including Chinese-made SH-15 self-propelled howitzer during the Pakistan Day parade.
The modern artillery is fully capable to hit at a greater distance and is mounted on 6×6 Shaanxi truck chassis with an armoured cabin at the front and one 155 mm gun-howitzer mounted at the rear of the vehicle.
Additionally, SH-15 is said to be a supreme ‘shoot and scoot’ artillery weapon for the use of nuclear shells. Pakistan Army acquired the wheeled self-propelled howitzer amid a major program to modernize its artillery forces, as it is lighter than a tracked howitzer and can be more easily deployed in the mountainous region.
