What sort of defense ties with Australia , they dont produce anything .

If you read the article carefully it says training.

Also Australia does produce defence material, infact Australia exports 600 million dollars worth of defence material a year.


This is my favourite export.

They are good in composite material which we can used in our Tank and Aircrafts

It's mainly for training.I think Military-Military relations are very very important.Pakistan Armed Forces should develop good relations with armed forces of different countries.It is Pentagon is US case which is lobbying hard for Pakistan Arm sales.

This training is not for conventional war..but for SF.It is not bad IMHO http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Special_Air_Service_Regiment.Besides this level of training is beneficial as i said before it will enhance Pakistan Australia Military Relations.

Australia has been in every major war since 1900. WW1 WW2 vietnam, the gulf war ,the iraq war, afghanastan.

Australia was a major part of the invasion of iraq alongside Britain and the U.S

Australia also invaded east timor, the solomon islands and papua new guina all on it's own to help establish order in these countries.

So I guess may be Pakistan Army can train Australian Army. Pakistan Army has more experience and is engaged more than Australian Army...

The pakistan army may had had more fights but that doesn't guarantee you are well trained. The Australian Army has perfected a training standard over 100 years that is said to be the best in the world.

One example of this excellent training is in WW2 where 300 aussie soldiers held off 5,000 japanese in the jungle where japanese soldiers are suppose to be experts.

Infact, Australian Army soldiers are said to be better trained then the average American soldier. Australian soldiers even train some American soldiers.

Past: PAF is flying ex Australian Mirages.
In future: Can PAF get high tech for JF-17s from Australia ? China and Australia are good business partners so Australia can transfer tech to Pakistan and China now that France is out.

Australian made subs are almost a "failure" according to a Australian naval Eng.
