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.

this seems to be the first "source" i have seen estimating pakistan's MLRS launchers. The wikipedia source is complete rubbish (claiming they have >400 A-100s for example). Upper estimate they have around 120-140 MLRS launchers. Their rockets have much longer ranges than pinakas due to their 300mm++ nature.

meanwhile 10 regiments of Pinakas should be inducted by end of next year, ~180 launchers. Currently 6 regiments are inducted, 2 by end of this year and 2 more next year

 

[bakofbakchod]

is this real or is IDRW shitposting as usual? Claiming that 12 additional pinaka regiments will be ordered and inducted by 2030
