DEFENSE
Pakistan's Heavy Industries Taxila (HIT) has issued a tender for long-lead forgings for the Project P251, a 155 mm/52-calibre Truck Mounted Artillery Gun System being developed for Saudi Arabian Military Industries (SAMI). The tender seeks high-quality alloys, specifically 35NiCrMoV15Mod, to meet NATO standards, and covers key components for the artillery system, excluding the barrel. This project, initiated in 2021, is expected to shape future Pakistani defense procurement strategies.
