Good post. Is the PA going to adopt a more portable MG at the squad level? From what I've seen the MG3 is a crew operated MG. Is it deployed at the squad or platoon level?

Are there plans to purchase more Mi17s? The Pumas will need replacing soon. Of all the footage of PAA Mi17s I've never seen troops embark/disembark using the rear ramp. Always the side doors. My question to knowledgeable members is that in combat is the rear ramp used to quickly...

Probably the best and most sane post I've read in a long while on this topic

Can someone please explain to me why 12 Div and FCNA aren't officially called Mountain Divs? Are all the divs in X Corp trained and equipped for mountain warfare or just 12 and FCNA?

Great news on the VT4! Assuming the PA does get 1000+- tanks I’m assuming they will equip the 2 Armoured and 2 Mech divs? What is the plan for the T85;T80UDs and AZs? Will they be put in reserve; scrapped or passed to the FC? Or will they be allocated to the Infantry Divs for fire support or...

How many Saab 2000 AEW&C's will the PAF have in service after this order? 10 or 11? Interesting, how the PAF is bolstering its Saab 2000 AEW&C fleet and not the ZDK fleet. Could the ZDK fleet not be up to scratch?

will these mirages replace the ROSE Mirages in service or complement them?

Fatman, why is the PAA looking to get both the AH1Z AND T129?? Wouldn't it make sense from a logistical and cost perspective to get just one attach helo in numbers whether it is the T129; AH1Z or Z10ME?

But not all?

Don't we already have the LCB qualified for airborne/air assault ops? Why don't we just group all the LCB embedded in the various divisions into its own division? Also, I never understood why we don't have a dedicated mountain warfare div?

We desperately need to standardise platforms. Given the resource constraints we face I'm surprised this isn't a priority for all three arms! Cn 235/9 could have easily have served all three arms.

who is he?

How many Fennec's does the PA have in service? Can you also shed light on how many Ecureil's are in the FC inventory?

Wow... you actually believe Zarvan :woot: Alan Warnes was prevented from going to Quetta because of the security situation! There is no J10C or EF2000 in Pakistan at all!!! Zarvan your posts do provide a degree of entertainment but for God's sake stop with all the BS.

Is the hand grip, stock etc of the type 056 made of real wood? If so why use wood? Surely there are other materials that are lighter. Secondly does the type 56 use the 7.62 x 39 round?

Rashid sahib what about the 8 global response cutters from the U.S.? Do you know if the PN or PMSA are to induct the cutters?

Rashid why do you think the PN have opted to go for funding the ATRs rather than looking to replace the 2 zOrions lost at Mehran? Matter of priorities?

Rafi do you know which transport planes the Chinese presented to the ACM? Are there any plans to introduce the Z20 to replace the Mi17 and Puma fleets?

Fatman is there an intention to expand the ATR fleet? Right now we have 7 P3s; 3 ATRs; Fokkers ?
