Hello all, Most of the pics posted are of SSGN as well as Marines. As already covered in most including this forums, I'll just be repeating whats been covered. Suffice to say the two are separate units within PN. Marines first created as a single battalion in 1971 and disbanded a year later...

Hello, Drop me a line on lindsyebanks@yahoo.com. X-craft are very much an area of interest, but an open forum is too open in my opinion. :-> Did you want pics of any 404 or the specific one in Lahore? Regards, Lindsy

Could you qualify the above remark in your post.

There is no AIP on the MG-110LR rather the extended range was afforded through conventional means (That is all I can say at this point ;-> ). Rightly or wrongly, COSMOS interspersed the designations of theX-craft sold by them throuhout their history. But a few facts can be ascertained. When...

The updates were done locally by Pakistan Navy in concert with Cosmos. The X-craft which underwent the modernization plan first was the one which had just been recovered from the sea bed following its accident. The other two subs also subsequently underwent the same upadates of the modernization...

The MG110LR X-craft currently in service with Pakistan were supplied from the outset with two external torpedoe tubes. Following modification, the X-craft have been given the provision to carry torpedoes within the hull of the submarine. Structurally the main difference in the hull is found on...

Its expected to fly throughout the airshow week. Farnborough is a trade show first and spectator show second. Although there is a tendancy to fly some historical aircraft on public says for the benefit of the enthusiasts.

PN midget submarines were acquired for the specific purpose of use by SSGN. Their procurement was not influenced by their being supposedly expandable. the subject of midget submarines in PN service has benn brought up in the below thread...

I reported some errors on PN (old) website to PN, but nothing was done. I then contacted the office of CNS and things moved very quickly. I would have assumed that given the resources of the individuals on this forum, a direct approach to a higher authority would have been made from the outset...

Readers may like to know the above pic is of SSGN.

Due to many reasons, the most obvious being time, which I personally find as a limiter to take part in online forums, its going to be very difficult to try to find not just an individual with naval credentials, but also someone who can be objective. The moderators for this forum may wish to...

Thanks for the reply. Always nice to get some repsonse to my postings which isn't always the case :wave: In my effort to write my initial post, what I was trying to put across hasn't come across very well and I can see how it looks - not very accurate. What I was had attempted to intimate was...

Hello, I think that if the someone decides to borrow something from this and any other similar websites, we could look past it, provided of course it did not infringe upon peoples work and was not done too often. The concept of copyright isn't alwasy clear to everyone I suppose. If however...

SSGN is a well trained, organised and mature SOF unit; having been created in 1967 almost a decade after SSG came into being. At the time, SSG was not anywhere near its full potential, given the role they were initially created for as a stay behind force, at the encouragement of the US. The area...

No doubt the crews efforts will be well recognized by PNS Zulfiqar's commanding officer, :police: Captain Zahid Ilyas.

PAF Mirage VPA's are equipped only to be armed with AM-39 Exocet and not with AGM-84L (air launched) Harpoon. PN's P-3C's will be the only aircraft whose inventory will include AGM-84L. As has been mentioned in this post already, PN has both Block I and Block II of the Harpoon in service/on...

There has been talk over the years on Pakistan looking at sea based nuclear assets, but they were then discounted by the very same sources. As early as 2001, Adm Afzal Tahir (who at the time was R Adm and Deputy Chief of Naval Staff Operations) said that Pakistan may equip its submarine flotilla...

Thanks Fatman. Have always been reading the posts, but didn't have much to add until now. Regards

Hahahaha! No Growler, not from any intel background. I am fairly knowledgable on most defence related matters, partly due to my work and partly personal interest as with most members on this forum. Access to information is easy in the west and certainley way more than is available in Pakistan...

I have already posted the below on another thread on this forum, but as it is dealing with the same subjected, here it is again. The SX-756 submarines were the first of a new design by Cosmos of Livorno. The first 3 craft were sold to Pakistan in kit form and arrived in Karachi in 1988. When...
