My impression of the Pakistan Navy is that it has always been the ugly step child in the 3 armed services of Pakistan. It's never received the investment it's needed and based on your above reply it sure looks like all the eggs they get are going in one basket. Given Gwadar port becoming...

Firstly I'd like to extend thanks to @MastanKhan for starting this thread. If nothing else it has allowed for debate and an exchange of ideas rarely seen here nowadays. Being in Britain my thoughts on the submarine deal here are in comparison to the Royal Navy's acquisitions notably the...

https://defence.pk/forums/pakistan-navy.14/ That takes you to the websites Navy page. Start from the top of the page scroll down and count them yourself. I trust such a task is not beyond your capabilities.

There are no less than 7 other threads about Pakistan's submarine deal with China already. Why have you started another one? MODS: Please close this or merge with another. This is becoming ridiculous now.

A new rifle may bring improved reliability and capability in the field but what about ancillaries? For example what about sights and optics. Both for day and night capability. Are there any plans for this as well? A nice looking rifle is one thing but relying on the iron sights will not...

Greetings fatman, heres an article you may wish to share on some of the US/Pakistan aid realated threads: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-13561282 Hope you're keeping well Sir. Regards JK!

The counter measures purchase is excellent- they can provide a defensive umbrella neurtralising/jamming IED signals within a given radius. Should be good for troops patrolling in terrorist hot spots.

What about the KC130 variant of the Hercules- would bring more commonality to the PAF then another aircraft.

Hey what about us Military Professionals?!

L129 Sharpshooter rifle, performs the same function as the SR25.

These wishlists are dangerous I regard them as the requests of armchair megalomaniacs. Have some faith in your armed forces and their leadership they are not idle and will be planning/training for every scenario. For example look at the artillary upgrade program procurments- the long range...

Why not "relieve" PIA of the A310s they have and get these aircraft converted instead? Acquiring replacement aircraft for a civilian airline may be cheaper than buying an entirely new military system.

I vote the Accuracy International L115A3 as used by the British Army and other forces as the best sniper weapon. It fires an 8.9mm round in between an antimaterial rifle like the Barrett and a normal 7.62mm weapon. It currently holds the record as the weapon used for the longest range...

What is the precise number of Mi17s in service? I'm reading alot of conflicting numbers.

Thanks for the correction the information I've read appears to be incorrect and this would make much more sense hence why it originally confused me.

So is this aircraft to be fitted with an Indian made radar and avionics?

The Afghan army has to start somewhere and as a relatively new force should not be judged by the standards of well established western forces or even the Pakistan army. Despite all the eagerness for a quick fix solution this will take time. Afghanistan has been a mess for 30 odd years and...

Although I think Pakistan should purchase additional F22P frigates as a general purpose vessel to act as the core naval vessel I think an air defence orientated frigate like the Type 054A is needed to provide area defence for the fleet.
