Personally I feel a full layered Air Defence is needed to counter the IAF to include a dedicated high altitude SAM and more medium altitiude SAMs. The situation with medium altitude is being rectified through the acquistion of SPADA 2000 from Italy but as of yet nothing has happened with a...

This project only served as a demonstrator and has not come to fruition. At the moment Sukhoi have a lot more leverage than Mikoyan.

Later NATO versions have been chambered for 5.56 particularly with the German Army.

Eid Mubarak to all

Pakistan currently does not operate HQ9 it is a wishlist item. For low level air defence there are the Anza series, Stingers and RBS 70, for medium level presently PA operates Crotales. The closest thing to high level is HQ2.

A single MLRS will send the same amount of HE into the area as an entire regiment of howitzers. Thats how the US MLRS is described as against M109 SPGs and as A100 is a larger system I'd imagine even more.

One of the pictures show the system fitted with SA18 Igla missiles so why not integrate Anza into this system.

Deniable Operations by Special Forces probably. They can go in but all knowledge of the operatives mission and existence will be denied by their Country.

Around 600 Al Khalids are believed to be in service at the moment bearing in mind there is also the program to upgrade Type 59 MBTs to Al Zarar standard.

An excellent prospect for the Pakistan Army due both the M113, land rover and stinger missile all presently in service.

The Hull is very similar to that of the the preceding Korean K1 or M1 Abrams . It reminds me of what the British did with the Challenger 2 in retaining the old Hull of the challenger 1 but featuring a new turret and fire control system and possibly a more powerful engine.

The weapons fit is not the problem but all the targeting sensors and acquistion avionics on board in order to direct that firepower accurately. I don't think Pakistan has the funds to bring about such a program. For a dedicated COIN aircraft I'd prefer to see a K8 upgraded with weapons and...

War is upon Pakistan whether you would like it or not. This war is now being fought by Pakistan for Pakistan and not any other nation.

These ships would be a stop gap measure nothing more until more suitable systems can be afforded.

The advantage of the Turkish project is that it would feature western style crew protection systems like blow out panels and seperate crew and ammo compartments but the downside is that it will have similar failings like the Indian Arjun project as more armour means more weight. Thus far the...

The latest version of this features a bustle mounted autoloader similar to the Russian 2S19 SPG.

Based on the current equipment fielded by Iran this is probably reverse engineered technology from the 1970s

Seems people don't remember that Benazir Bhutto was in favour of Foreign COIN ops on Pakistani soil which was the apparant justification for the Karachi Suicide bombing when she came back from exile. The PPP is remaining loyal to the doctrine outlined by its dead leader.

I thought Pakistan already had some capable US systems put to use effectively during the Kargil War.

I don't actually know the specifics of the system or its effectiveness but its principle function is a good idea ie blind the targeting sensors.
