It will basically be the US dumping more equipment it doesn't want on the Iraqis like their old desert camo uniforms and under armoured humvees.

Love the mess photo. Aftera all "An army marches on its stomach."

Commonality of Artillary would be good but given the current inventory if it ain't broke don't fix it. Alot of the equipment being used is tried tested and reliable.

Another thing to consider is that when India pursued a new SPH requirement they were looking to buy just the turrets and use them on modified T72 chassis. I'm certain I've seen a French GCT AUF1 turret being used like that.

From the gun shield and muzzle brake I think it might be a Type 59 130mm howitzer which is more or less the old Soviet M46

Erm I'm on Nelson? Could you explain this to me.

Pakistan apparantly has some Turkish T155 Panters so this could be the way forward as well as the version of South Koreas K9 the T155 Firtina. Also there is the PLZ45 from China.

^^^^^^ Turn ex terrorist sancturies into places Wilmslow road?!?!

I quite like them all in their own way so I'll go for a top three 1) Agnostic Muslim for his fair and balance approach 2) Keysersoze for his uncanny ability to sort the wheat from the chaff 3) Blain2 for his excellent military knowledge

Thats why I study engineering and not geography!! Still the point is one country is bigger than the other and so on and so forth....

Considering the bickering and suggestions made in this forum I can see little difference in cooperation or unity being made those in either country's government.

Consider it this way guys if some nutters in a cave could plot and attack the worlds only superpower (9/11) then an operation of this type cannot be discounted in any country. Given the limits of any countries security apparatus someone will always slip the net.

Is there any particular reason why the PN pursues 4 ships at a time when it makes an order?

Thats why mobility is a key issue for these vehicles but it could be possible. The Insurgents only have to get lucky once. Also armour is distributed to where the most likely threat is a good example being an MBT. If the front, top, belly, side and rear armour all weighed the same they would...

Super Falcon Mi17 is a utility helicopter and Mi35 is a gunship with troop transport capability. Pakistan now has 80+ Mi17s and I don't think the Mi35 is the right aircraft to supplement them.

At least the government is speaking with reason the same can't be said for some of the scaremongers amongst us in this forum.

Super Falcon if you mean the Cougar MRAP here is the link to the force protection website: Force Protection, Inc. - advanced ballistic and blast-protected vehicles Type in "Cougar Iraq" in google images where some pics show battle damged one in Iraq.

Not Leclerc so much as that is a dedicated "western design" but definitley comparable to the T90.

Also they are producing a Chinese version of the Krasnopol laser guided artillary round which would be a good asset for Pakistan given the fact that support for troops in FATA does involve lots of towed artillary.
