Not really, we have ATAGS, Pinaka and Bofors and pakis have chinese copy of russian Grad and old artillery systems which are inferior to ours.
Chinese copy of russian Grad is not less lethal. It works well for saturation dump. It's just that who fires first.
Their qty of M109 M198 is sufficient for any battle, and its a very accurate and reliable system. And obviously they hide their actual numbers of units.

They don't have the ammunition to keep firing their artillery for days on end like we can. And after they expend it they don't have the financial capacity to replace it.
With current Pakistani strategy, they need not to fire it for days. They have been firing past two years I believe. Every one knows there won't be any full scale war.

Pak media blames 'Indian lobby' after failed Pak-World Bank talks on Kishanganga Hydro-Project

Thursday, May 24, 2018

Pakistan's complaint to the World Bank about alleged Indian violations of the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) was frustrated by the South Asian department of the World Bank which is "under the influence of the Indian lobby", said Pakistani media outlet The Express Tribune today.

The country's media today also reported that the World Bank yesterday announced that two days of talks with a Pakistani delegation did not lead to an agreement on the way forward in Pakistan's water dispute with India. The dispute was regarding India commencing the 330-megawatt Kishanganga hydropower station in Jammu and Kashmir. Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the project on May 19.

"The disagreement serves a serious blow to Pakistan that remains unable to penetrate in the World Bank, which is under heavy influence of the Indian lobby working in Washington," wrote the Tribune. It further said that "over the years, successive governments (have) kept a blind eye over a growing Indian influence in international financial institutions.

Pakistan says India has violated the 1960 IWT with the World Bank with the Kishanganga project. New Delhi believes that IWT allows it to build 'run-of-river' hydel projects that do not change the course of the river and do not deplete the water level downstream. Islamabad argues that the Kishanganga project not only violates the course of the river but also depletes its water level.

The World Bank on Wednesday announced that two days of talks with the Pakistani delegation did not lead to an agreement on the way forward in Pakistan's water dispute with India, reported Dawn.

"Several procedural options for resolving the disagreement over the interpretation of the Treaty's provisions were discussed," the World Bank said.

Yet, it added that the IWT only gives it a "limited and procedural" role in resolving India-Pakistan water disputes, although the bank supervised the negotiations for the treaty and is recognised as an arbitrator by both countries.

India started work on the Kishanganga hydropower station in 2007. Three years later, Pakistan took the matter to the Permanent Court of Arbitration at The Hague, which stayed the project for three years. In 2013, the court ruled that the Kishanganga project was “a run-of-river plant within the parameters of the IWT and that India may accordingly divert water from the Kishanganga (Neelum River) for power generation”.

The M198 has max range less than M177 Bofors 39 caliber. So no they don'y have any advantage. But IA should have ordered the upgrades of M46 a long time ago to crush them in numbers. Most of the firing is still 105mm and 120, 81mm mortars. Things have not escalated to 155mm and Pinaka yet.

Makes no sense. In J&K M177 is very effective and so is M198, both are highly mobile extremely accurate gun. You are not hitting anything beyond 20kms due to topography.

The question of range comes in Rajasthan and plains of Punjab when there are artillery formations and corps formation.

Lakhvi’s son’s van ferried us till LoC, says arrested jihadi

LUCKNOW: Riding a Toyota Coaster and carrying Rs 6 lakh, a bagful of dates and almonds, and cutters is how a batch of six Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists reached Kupwara this March to lay siege.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has managed to trace their route from Muzafarrabad in Pakistan after interrogating Zaibullah, the 20-year-old lone survivor of the terrorist squad caught during an anti-terror operation in Kupwara on March 20. His associates were killed.
Their route included halts at two locations in PoK (Dudhniyal and Tezia), Sarbal on the Indian side of the LoC and four areas near Indian Army posts till the forests of Tushan Bala Jugtiyal and Halmatpora in Kupwara.
“After completion of the last leg of training, Huzefa (head of LeT training) selected the six of us. We were given AK-47s, 1kg almonds and dates, five bottles of honey, some 20 chapatis and Rs 1 lakh each in Indian currency by Kasim Bhai, the son of Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi,” Zaibullah said. Lakhvi is the operational commander of LeT and mastermind of the 26/11 attack.
They were first taken in Lakhvi’s son’s Toyota Coaster from Muzaffarabad to Sarwal. “It took us two days to reach the LoC. That night, we cut the fencing. Five others had come to help us and they left us at the LoC. Then we started with the journey with the help of a GPS till we reached Indian Army post Ding,” Zaibullah revealed. He said they used the forests of Kupwara as a hideout for 15 days. Some local Kashmiris helped them to get ration. “On March 12 evening, we reached the house of Altaf and Bila. Our group leader Wakas paid them Rs 13,000 to buy dal, biscuits, utensils and milk powder. We stayed there for six days. On March 18, we moved to the next village, Fateh Khan, where people initially refused to host us. However, one gave us shelter and food,” Zaibullah said. He said that on March 20, the Army cordoned off the area and started firing. “All of us woke up, picked up our weapons and ran towards the jungle. We finally reached a house in Dhoke and told the owner there that we were from LeT and had come from Pakistan. It was here that my associates were killed in the encounter. I managed to escape with the help from a cleric but was soon caught by the Army,” he said.
