    New Vietnamese HS-6L HALE UAV likely aided by Belarus

    While this is an old article, I find it most interesting. Here, Vietnam used a Belarus Design house to design their "own" MALE UAV. This is an interesting model, since such a UAV or UCAV is not permitted for export due to MTCR. Pakistan could also work on this model, instead of buying or copying...

    Pakistan Navy to Purchase Frigates from China

    Their P8I would not be flying without CAP and AEW, and they will have similar BVR options in their package. The sea is a large place to find a dinky little submarine lurking at 200 meters with a SLCM load with "other" options. ASTER 30 would not be offered for a Chinese platform, unless the...

    Vipers are not coming??

    US Gov is all about announcements. There is no announcement on the aircraft being withheld. The export license is valid, and FMF is from yesteryear and paid for already. This speculation stems from temporary storage solicitation on the web. The storage could be for one of many reasons, one being...

    There are often many suggestions of improvements and integrations for PN, so I would like to share some historical bits with you. PN has a poor record of successful integrations. The reason that the complete platform is preferred from China or a third source so that the outside builder takes...

    Kindly stop your abuse for PDF members. Immediately. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean you go about calling people names. You are not doing China any favors by showing such childish behavior. This argument has no bearing on Government of Pakistan strategy and discussions...

    Concept of stealth drones as force multiplayers indo-pak scenario

    There are many in Pakistan who look at CH5 and want the capability, but a MALE UCAV with this payload is a straight violation of the MTCR, the same level as M9 and M11 acquisition. I have heard that PAF is looking at it, since ACM R Sohail Aman was interested in it, despite announcing a local...

    Concept of stealth drones as force multiplayers indo-pak scenario

    Any drone of this capacity and payload, if imported from abroad, is violation of MTCR. I hope PAF realized this and takes a mature collaboration from a designer to build their own bird.

    PN mini-submarine fleet

    Easy there tiger with your imagery. There is no such thing as "boxy" in this design and lets not put any Indian ports on fire. Drass was designing midget submarines way before CosMos. I believe most of the design teams moved to successful companies like Drass Galezzi and GSE after they were...

    PN mini-submarine fleet

    It is not realistic to obtain drawings from NK or IR. Both are stolen/out of date Italian designs. Most operational compact sub out there in the world has something to do with Italy. This tells you that the only country with real experience is Italians. Rest are hopefuls. As someone pointed...

    Did i hit a nerve here? too bad. members can only flatter you? Kindly stop your propaganda, abusive style and threats. I am sure you are wrapped in Chinese flag but you have anything objective to say? Battle proven in what battle? There is difference between in-service and battle proven...

    Featured Pakistan Navy Type 054AP Frigates - Update, News & Discussion

    Lets not get too excited by words like "battle proven." PN is well familiar with the medium quality of Chinese produced craft but the real reason is not what you mention. Remember that Chinese derive their doctrine to be Saturation from the Communist Father, not Precision what we derive from...

    Finally an Air Defense Surface Ship, long needed since the departure of Brook & Garcia Class Ships void the Pakistan Navy of the first ever medium range SAM capability. Congratulations to Pakistan Navy for making the bold decision. While I have my doubts on the reliability and sustainability of...

    Dhanoa's 'Plan B' and implications for Pakistan

    In my opinion, the India and Pakistan conflict is over. Both sides have played every scenario and its a lose lose situation. now, both sides hedge on a third party involvement in their high intensity engagement, or plan on low intensity conflicts or proxy wars. It is a never ending story where...

    PN mini-submarine fleet

    Russian subs will be very hard to acquire, with a long Rosoborexport involvement and likely no Transfer of Technology. My research shows that only Italians have the experience and pedigree to undertake the proper platform. There are two companies in Italy. GSE Trieste, and DRASS Galezzi. GSE...

    PN mini-submarine fleet

    Both theoretical platforms proposed by CSIC that have not been considered by PLN. China has no history or experience in building compact submarine. They are looking for someone to pay the development cost and take teh risk on the platform. Both submarines miss the sweet spot of 400-500 tons...

    This has been discussed and evaluated many times. There is no willing supplier, and now with probe drogue system, its out of the question, equation, and matrix. However, the PAF Falcons have been deployed to not require IFR.

    There are many existing and evolving OPS and PLANS for SWATS. By discussing your scenarios further we can jeopardize them. Lets just say that the future employment of SWATS in PN will be quite a surprise for the potential adversaries.
