Royal Air Force is retiring 14x C-130J from its services soon, which can be the best option, but maybe they will not be delivered to us due to JF-17bk3 sale.
Manufacturing a 5th gen aircraft is not an easy task, especially for a country like Pakistan,
4th gen aircraft is completely different from a stealth aircraft.
What we will achieve from Project Azm is that it will provide an industrial set for our future, which is very important.
PN buy Qatari ws-61 mostly for spare parts, but after evaluation by PN air arm personals that most of Qatari sea kings are almost brand new. Which is good for PN. So may be PN will retire old assets and induct these Qatari as substitute.
pakistan will allegedly have "10 seakings and commando variants" ok how? QA20 and QA30 was phased out of service long ago? since 11 is the total. if you minus that with 2 you get 9. so i was right the possible Number of acquisition is 9 no more.
PAF is not replacing them any time soon, But they will induct more advanced systems only those platforms who can jam S-400 missile systems.
Both Chinese and Turks are operating S400 system.
It will be a great achievement, but HIT needs to focus on MRAP vehicles. Our soldiers need them very badly, especially in Baluchistan and FATA.
VT-4 now 155 mm artillery have its own importance but if you ask a soldier's mother she will tell you a different story.
PN need to induct more 10-12 mini subs.
2nd and most important is to purchase any advance multipurpose satellite like IN.
To protect our costal line which is approximately 700+ km long, we have to induct Unmanned surface ships in large numbers for 24x7 hrs surveillance.
After the Fall of Kabul, many Afghan pilots flew to Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.
Still not a single Aircraft landed in Pakistan territory which is weird in some cases because Kabul is near to us nor Northern states.
I think PAK have to try to get AAF attack A-29 and C-130H.
There are many Black...
