Pakistan’s Heavy Industries Taxila (HIT) has marked another milestone by successfully developing the "Advance Infantry Mortar System (AIMS)" – a cutting-edge weapon designed to enhance the firepower, accuracy, and mobility of infantry units on the battlefield.

This new system is a major leap forward in modern artillery, offering improved targeting, rapid deployment, and precision strike capability. AIMS is built to support Pakistan Army’s evolving operational requirements in both conventional and asymmetric warfare, especially in mountainous and rugged terrains where traditional artillery faces limitations.

Needed where? sitting ducks for IED etc

Using a soft skinned vehicle!!!

It helps with mobility, and speed. Heavy vehicles tend to be slow, and easily hit.

If they used a heavier vehicle, they'd be hit by counter-mortar/artillery fire, before they have a chance to move out of the way quickly enough.

This allows them to fire a dozen shots, and immediately reposition themselves.

"Cutting edge" Mounted on the back of a Toyota lmao

IEDs are what militants use.

This seems to be for conventional warfare purposes along the border with both India, and Afghanistan.

This would be particularly useful against the talibs, as they're now having to fight conventionally, and really have no answer to this, without getting close enough to basically get in the range of PA's other weapons systems.

Its actually fine because they are supporting units from a fair bit behind the frontline, even M109s that might look armored have very little of it, mobility is far more important for these since they are going to shoot and scoot

Oo is it something like this system that India uses?

Vehicle mounted mortars are nothing new, light mortars were mounted on carts as far back as the 15th century.

Well BSF does use some camel mounted mortars divisions lol.

I don't know how do you stabilise it after each shot.

That's the thing, You don't.

 

[Sam6536]

That's the thing, You don't.

Yes it's highly impractical when you think about it. It doesnt actually aim anywhere in particular and well counter battery fire will **** up that poor camel. Scoot and shoot is the name of the game.

From what I've seen from the Russo-Ukrainian war counter battery fire and drone hits are the most dangerous things on a modern battlefield.

 

[Sam6536]

2 bradley vs 1 T90 was interesting. Autocannons can rip into a tank.

Using a soft skinned vehicle!!!

They worked well if properly utilized but drone jammer & protection should be included.
