That's a great proposal, has Pakistan offered such assistance? It would be in the US interest as well as Pakistan's.

China is producing a copy of the Black Hawks like many other stolen weapon designs. I get that. My question was on Pakistan and if the US would allow Pakistan to buy it.

With near 500-600 enemy aircraft within a few hundred miles, I'd take my chances with SP because I can change my position very quickly. Any fire finder radar, satellite, etc., can locate my column of stationary artillery and can direct an air assault, guided munitions, or direct live fire within...

22k Humvees and 8k trucks seems like an exaggerated number along with 358K assault rifles (there were a total of 300K Afghan military personal including well over 100K of Police, Paramilitary's, etc. and this 100+K don't use assault rifles). Similarly. 169 artillery and 169 APC seems like a...

Oh now it's your turn :). I've spent a lot of time with similar discussions on the subject. Sadly, all logic turns into more arguments. It's like talking to a wall that doesn't listen....I gave up a while ago.

You always have the entire Africa, Myanmar and Bangladesh to sell too, granted a serious effort is put into it. Advance optics for trajectory management at cheaper price would be the key. JFT model applies here too (or on any weapon really).

Lots of cool projects but little emphasis on air force / aircrafts..... are there any projects to increase the size of the air force / air assets? Without a heavy protective shield from the air, the most advanced weapons can turn out to be sitting ducks.

I am super confused. Please see my post you quoted and let me know some assessment or metrics. Thank you. I don't understand the Indians related details from your post (nor do I care frankly).

He has other Turkish weapons in tweets below this one. Is there a deal about to happen with Turkey's heli's too?

So based on the highlighted companies, this tells me this project will be managed by India as that's majority of the employees at all ranks in these organizations. Secondly, this isn't about "KSA's will to generate electric energy, this is a step 1 towards KSA going nuclear like they said they...

Ok, watch and only time will tell. If NA in this valley holds out against the Taliban for let's say even a week if that's possible, you'll start to see cracks. Remember, even though they captured the entire country, there isn't enough "labor" to be guarding every smaller city outside of the...

This is a catch 22 situation. If a lot of Talibans are killed in Panjshir, not only it would destroy their moral, it would also then invite other fractions to start to gain hold in there, supported by every group's sponsored power. So the battle isn't just being started because "the Talibans"...

Yup, money flows through their hands like water. But, it's up to a strong relationship building foreign policy to get those hands to sign checks for investments.

Personal choice? SP all day long. I think towed is a lot of work but very flexible. Care to explain? Who's you 2?

That's a very hard question to answer tbh. It all depends on so many variables. But there is one constant factor that Pakistan should ALWAYS prepare itself to deal with and for the worst case scenario. That is your neighbor. So don't take such a big economic power with almost carte blanche...

I didn't say anything but I was actually shocked. I'd expect at least some robotics / modular based chassis development that would reduce the manufacturing time by half (in China, US and Japan, it cuts down about 60+%).

No, not saying that. But the issue is, lack of a very active foreign policy from Pakistan has essentially left the playing field open for your neighbor. See the FATF for an instance. Just like that, if sanctions are applied, how bad can they get, depends totally on your foreign policy. The whole...

1) I didn't say you get the Embraer jet for ASW role. I was using an example how that project would enable you to get the latest tech, both commercial airliner and military use and build it locally. I will bet my money that LM will never allow KSA or any of the ME partners to build Poseidon and...

The step up is guided munitions and then there is the Rail gun......

Ok. The only plan that exist outside of what's mentioned here, are plans to "deal" with the situations. Use your common sense Mr. James Bond. No one's going to grab Russia's 15000 nukes, or UK / French or Israeli stuff or North Korea's stuff without access to that country, or India's 150...
