Don't worry we got plenty cash! And we continue to be the major fastest growing economy
That means we will have more money

I am least concerned

It is an eye-opener for people who claim that Pakistan has no beef with Israel. They clearly arm India with the intent to hurt and terrorize Pakistan. This has been going on for quite a while now. A little Zionist Apartheid state trying to act tough in our neighborhood.

I think Pakistan really has to rethink its policy vis a vis Israel. We have to come out of neutrality mode and do some damage here.

We should also sell weapons to Jordan and other Arab nations like Anza even export version of babar and raad

Lol, more money does not mean victory in war, had it been so history of the world would have been very different

It is time to replace the ancient Pechoras with this new system.

Induction and operation ASAP.

Pakistanis are just too hilarious with their comments on this thread

18 SPYDER-MR systems were acquired and all are deployed now,each with four launch trucks),with 1500 missiles acquired with them(750+750).Spyder is a quick reaction system largely for dealing with low flying aircraft and cruise missiles.Putting them close to border and forward air bases serves the purpose of detecting knocking down ground hugging cruise missiles at an early stage of entry from pak airspace.It also means attempts to use terrain cover and low level penetration of indian airspace by PAF aircraft would be costly.This will form an outer first chain of defence. Range 50 km(for derby) and 15km( for Python).Altitude 16km.

Akash is not suitable as a quick reaction system but is cheap and upgradeable easily.Army has rejected it as a mobile air defence system to replace the sa-8 gecko and sa-13,opting for the DRDO QR-SAM which is undergoing final trials, these along with the new MANPADS from the tender,as well as tunguskas and zsus will accompany the armour of the mechanized formations.
As of now 2 regiments of Akash (each regiment six launchers) are in service and 2 more regiments coming.Around 600 akash missiles for army on order and deployed.Akash is replacing the SA-6 SAMs.Range 30-35 kms.Altitude 18km.
Air force is replacing the s-125 pechoras used for base static defence with akash.8 squadrons of akash already delivered.All major airbases will eventually be covered.

The above takes care of short range systems.For medium range MRSAM (land based version of barak-8) is coming from 2020.This will be limited in number and assigned to critical sectors only(major cities and bases,china border critical ammo dumps and infrastructure chokepoints) and with range of 70-100 km,specialize in downing cruise missiles/PGMs and limited ABM capability.

Long range defence system will be S-400 with 4 types of missiles(40km,120km,250km and 400km).This will layer with Barak-8 and other systems.This will target aircraft and awacs at huge ranges from within indian territory,and have anti-cruise missile and ABM capability to protect cities.Both offensive(if forward deployed) and defensive asset.

Finally the upcoming anti ballistic missile shield will take some more years to mature but is expected to be effective against non-MIRV IRBMs .

Are they already operational ?//

i dont under stand what is the problem israel arming india we are doing biusness with them like china doing biusness with you and other countries?

because Pakistan is not arming enemies of Israel, and enemy's friend is also enemy. Israel is not just usual military equipment seller like others, it sends its professionals to provide support during hostilities with Pakistan, also training in IOK which other countries don't do.

try to send them weapons and look what heppen

This big crap will only be credible when Israel will not receive any support from its western allies in conflicts.

Do remember Israel have not scored any kill against Pakistani pilots in even or uneven fight till now, while Pakistani pilots have killed many Israeli jets during arab war.
