you see you contradict yourself you are saying we have spares for mig21 but pakistan doesnt have for there 203mm howitzer ? plus do you knoow we imported m46 from soviets in 1968. these are the same ones who are being upgraded to 155mm and called sharang guns .
true we did retire d30 but they also operate only 150 guns.
a100 - i have never said that they have 100 systems. they have 36. now tell me which mlrs outranges these 36 a100s . pluse how many smerch we have 62. pakistan even tested a new mlrs fatah 1 with 140km range this year.
i was just giving you an example of how far the world has gone. even a country like north korea have better mlrs with 190-200km. they are very good and we are still stuck with pinaka . chinese used these mlrs to intimate us
We license produced Mig-21s, did the Pakistani's for 203mm howitzer?
So I haven't contradicted myself.
I know we imported M46 from Soviets and post Soviet countries in batches.
Out of 1000 imported only 500 ( 180+ 300) will be upgraded. And upgrade includes replacment of both barrel and breech block.
And few countries claim 290km range for their 300 mm guided rocket.
Those are crown jewel for countries who can't make ballistic missile and are affected by MTCR.
I am grateful you didn't mention Nashedi Nasr, 69 km Nuclear missile.
So you may be enamored by such progress, I am not.
Neither I am 'intimated' by such display. Indian Army too wasn't detered.
So, change the 'us' to simplify 'I'.
