Islamabad/New Delhi: Pakistan has allegedly deployed 250 Chinese-made SH-15 truck-mounted self-propelled howitzers along its border with India. The 155mm artillery systems have been positioned across major sectors along Pakistan’s eastern frontier with India — from north to south — India Today reported, citing top intelligence sources. This is being seen as an indication of deepening defence ties between China and Pakistan. After Operation Sindoor, Pakistan had boasted the capabilities of the Chinese weapon system in its armoury, claiming it performed “exceptionally well” in the clashes with India. According to estimates, nearly 60-65% of Pakistan’s military hardware is of Chinese origin.
