The values in table and paragraph are conflicting, and the conversions fro miles to km is also wrong in many places... Where is this from?

Thanks for info, if only 6 regiments are there then I suppose guided pinaka is not in service yet.

I think two separate trucks one 8x8 for 130mm and 230mm and another one with 10x10 for 370mm and 750mm would be nice. I don't think that 300mm with 5 per pod is optimum. It wastes space so much and better stick to one kind aka 370mm with 4 per pod. This will result in volume of scales instead of two different variants.
