How India Can Melt Pakistan’s Tanks in Minutes
India’s artillery arm has emerged as one of the most powerful and modern in the world, bolstered by rapid indigenisation and cutting-edge acquisitions.The Indian Army now fields over 4,000 artillery pieces, ranging from the indigenous Dhanush and upgraded Sharang 155mm guns to the ultra-light M777 howitzers and the heavily armoured K9 Vajra self-propelled tracked systems, with new regiments continuing to be raised.The advanced ATAGS towed gun offers ranges beyond 45-50 km, while India has achieved a global first by deploying ramjet-powered 155mm shells that push strike distances past 70 km with pinpoint accuracy.Complementing these is the battle-proven Pinaka multi-barrel rocket launcher, whose latest variants and additional regiments can deliver devastating salvos up to 120 km. Integrated with drones and precision munitions, India’s artillery now combines mobility, accuracy and overwhelming firepower, significantly strengthening deterrence along its northern and western borders.
