Pakistan Deploys 250 Chinese SH-15 Howitzers Along India Border
Pakistan has deployed 250 Chinese-made SH-15 self-propelled howitzers along its eastern border with India, enhancing its artillery capabilities. These 155mm 52-calibre systems, mounted on 6x6 trucks, can fire NATO-compatible ammunition up to 30-40 kilometers, with extended ranges reported up to 50-72 kilometers using specialized projectiles. Equipped with automated fire-control and rapid deployment features, the deployment follows India's May 2025 Operation Sindoor counterterrorism mission. The move represents a significant military reinforcement by Pakistan along the Line of Control.
