Pakistan Deploys Chinese SH-15 Howitzers Near India Amid Military Cooperation
Pakistan has deployed approximately 250 Chinese-made SH-15 wheeled self-propelled howitzers near its border with India, enhancing its artillery capabilities. These systems, acquired from China’s NORINCO with technology transfer for local assembly, offer improved mobility and rapid firing capabilities. The deployment reflects deepening military cooperation between China and Pakistan, with China supporting Pakistan's conventional military modernization. India is reportedly strengthening its own artillery and defense systems in response to this development.
