Pakistan Defence Minister In Russia. As per reports, Pakistan is negotiating purchase of 20 more MI-35 helicopters.

20 more Mi-35?
Nah. 4 operational, 5 on order and the long term target is of 16-20 Mi-35 in total.
More Mi-17/171 are also needed.

Pakistan Strategic Forum FB page is saying AK-103 and Pantsir-S1s also on the negotiation table. India also wooing Klashinkov for AK-103 to replace service rifle with local manufacture and Pantsir-S1s havnt had a good track record. We should stay away from large Russian orders to avoid CAATSA.
Keep it limited to low key/volume orders and subsystems like RD-93MAs.

AK and Hind variants, this is like a bad 80s Rambo film. We need to avoid Russian gear. It is not cutting edge and service support is awful. First priority should be domestic, if nit than China, if China cannot provide than Turkey, if Turkey cannot provide than Italy/Europe, hell even beg the US, but I see no sense in spending $ on mediocre kit from a country that is our main enemies main weapons supplier. Every penny we spend abrad should support the R&D efforts of our allies. Granted we are in a tough position with regards to attack helicopter options right now

Why Do We Even Appoint Policitian For Such Crucial Post?

In most countries defence minister are politicians. Only in USA it's mostly former Generals.

AK 12 and 15 are the best.

Hazrat AK103 will have 7.62 round its a great rifle cheap and rugged will suit our forces so type 56 can deport to FC and police also with PK21 current G3 can also go same route but I have seen MP5 G3 Aks with police in 90s

France could now be an option but few issues here

1) They still have massive contracts and potential follow on contracts for Rafale and Scorpene with India, this could stop the transfer of any advance tech to Pakistan
2) It would be negligent if we did not take into account the state of relations between Turkey and France right now, any big French contract could risk upsetting the Turks.
3) French will always always always sell you down the river later on if it is in their interests.
