In Islamabad, in the case of a full -scale war in India, the artillery shells are sufficient for just four days.
The Pakistan army during India’s tension discovered a critical lack of artillery ammunition, whose reserves were sufficient for just four days, in case there was a full -scale armed conflict. One of the reasons for the deficiency is exporting ammunition in Ukraine, which has significantly depleted the country’s internal reserves. This was reported by the harvest agency with reference to resources in the defense sector.
It has been noted that Pakistan’s weapons factories responsible for ensuring that the Army is currently trying to restore stocks in the context of global demand growth for service and outdated production base. As a result, at the current level of resources, Pakistan’s armed forces can maintain a high -intensity fighting in just 96 hours, causing serious concern for military leadership.
Pakistan’s military doctrine provides for the rapid expansion of forces to prevent the number of efficiency of India, putting a special emphasis on the use of artillery and armored units. However, as experts note, due to the lack of 155 mm shells for self-propelled howitzers, the M109 and 122-mm reactive shells for BM-21, the army’s ability to effectively prevent India’s possible appearance is significantly limited.
In April 2025, information appeared on social networks that large batches of 155 mm shells of main importance for artillery units were moved to Ukraine. This further increased fears about depleting strategic ammunition reserves.
Former Commander -in -Chief of the Pakistan army, General Kamar Javad Bajva, previously recognized existing restrictions, emphasizing that Pakistan does not have sufficient resources for conducting a long conflict in India -ni in the military or economic dimensions.
According to intelligence, Pakistan placed warehouses with ammunition near the Indian border, preparing for a possible exacerbation. At the same time, publication sources note that the over -concentration of weapons exporting efforts in the context of economic lack of economic lacks have threatened the country’s own defense capabilities.
In addition, the economic situation in Pakistan worsens: inflation is growing, external debts are accumulated, and foreign exchange reserves are reduced. As a result, the Army was forced to reduce nutritional standards, cancel exercises and suspend planned maneuvers due to lack of fuel.
Remember that a new confrontation between the two nuclear countries began after an attack, as a result of which 30 people died. This happened on April 22 in the city of Pakhalgami – the tourist center in the north of India – the country’s authorities were accused of attacking Pakistan militants.
By the end of April, Pakistan said India was preparing an attack on the next 24-36 hours. However, this did not happen.
