The introduction of Pinaka will augment the Army’s long-range offensive deployment along the northern borders, complementing artillery guns such as Bofors and Ultra Light Howitzer M777, and upgraded L-70 air defence guns.These six Pinaka Regiments will comprise 114 launchers with Automated Gun Aiming & Positioning System (AGAPS), 45 Command Posts to be procured from TPCL and L&T, and 330 Vehicles to be procured from BEML.As part of the long-term goal to phase out old Russia-origin Grad BM-21 rocket systems, the Indian Army aims to have 22 regiments of Pinaka multi-barrel rocket launch systems, equipped with automated gun-aiming and positioning systems, and command posts.In the realm of long-range rocket artillery, the indigenously developed Pinaka is set to become the backbone of the Indian Army’s firepower arsenal.
