india needs total of 2500 of such 155 mm howitzers to cow both pakistan on the line of control and also face china . this is a small step in fulfilling that requirement . unlike other major weapons like fighterjets submarines etc which are used only for actual full blown war and lie quiet for years till then , artillery guns are used on several occasions when the LOC flares up like it has now . never has the dire need for artillery guns been keenly felt like it has been in present day's confrontation with pakistan .
