Pakistan and Germany cooking something up

i think Eurocopter will be more usefull against terror than U-214........i think we all agree on this :tup:
 
It's a good move to launch talks and provide Germans the whish list of Pakistan Armed forces. As mentioned in the news PA needs some good weapons in the fight against terror; from drones to assault rifles, artillery, defence arms etc. Maybe we could get also some heli's for transport and assault purposes.

The U boats deal was almost done but the only reason for which the deal was cancelled is only bcz of $$ reason. If PN was alloted what they needed we were having atleast 3 U boats! seems like some people come up with their own BS theories on this matter.
 
First off, overly exaggerated title. Secondly I doubt you'll be getting submarines to counter terrorism. Maybe a few assault rifles.

If it burns you, you do not have to troll. Assault rifles, we manufactured the 3nut3 in in 1950s.

Back to the topic, Pakistan should pursue German arms and joint ventures. Germany has good quality of arms.
 
The last time there was a ToT with Germany.. our dear general in charge bought the ToT for the Mp5.. it did not matter to him that everybody in the ordnance test department cried for cancellation of the deal.. that the MP5 was ineffective in the battlefield..tests showed that its projectile was on the ground after 800 meters.. useless on the plains..
Still it was bought.. apparently the man who approved it is now comfortable in his many german luxury cars as well.

When it was introduced.. troops refused to take it.. pick it up for any operation..and we had thousands of SMG's just lying around because troops did not trust the weapon.

As fate would have it.. its day finally came in the WoT.. when CQB needs allowed the MP5 to finally show its capabilities.
 
Until this "nazi merkel" is on the drivers seat expect very little outcome.. Germany has been traditionally friendly with Pakistan and helped us when we lacked. And let us get our HDW submarines first.

i have always enjoyed your comments
 
Pak army is always a big fan of German light armor. Otherwise Pakistan is not interested in their heavy weapon, which is not worth for Pak terrain. Only in heavy machines this APC recently german made is worth for Pak army.

What are you on about, it is a machinepistol / submachine gun which fires 9mm pistol rounds (not an assault rifle)...

Max effective ranges
200 m (656 ft) (MP5A2, MP5A3, MP5A4, MP5A5),
100 m (328 ft) (MP5/10, MP5K, MP5KA1, MP5KA4, MP5KA5, MP5K-PDW),
50 m (164 ft) (MP5/40),

Recently made?! APC?! That's the Marder mechanized infantry combat vehicle (MICV). The Marder MICV was introduced into German service from 1971 onwards, making this a 40 year old vehicle. After the Russian BMP-1, it was the second MICV to be produced and put into operational service in the world.

From 1976 the Marder was upgraded with Milan ATGW. Marder 1A1 with image intensification entered service in 1979 and by 1982 all were converted. The Marder 1A2 with thermal imaging entered service in 1984 and all were converted by 1989. In 1989 the first Marders were upgraded to 1A3 standard with improved armour and Milan 2.
