Pakistan Defence budget to go up by Rs30 billion

[Pandora]

This budget is just for in case PPP wins next election which seems unlikely. It all depends on next governments policies and their priorities.

spend all of them for body armor and helmets for the soldiers, our soldiers don't even have basic level of protections.

Too low for ambitions of Pakistan. Hike should be atleast 15% in terms of $ amt. But knowing Pakistan, they will still manage to get more armed UAV, ships and missiles.

Its not as bad as its hyped to be on this forum mostly by indians.

You have got to be kidding me. Our economy is at brink of bankruptcy and they want to increase military budget. It should be kept as it is for now until economy get stable.

 

[Ayush]

congrats..

 

[lightoftruth]

way to go.

 

[Yogi]

relax guys, its actually a decline in Defence budget in $ terms.

PY : PKR 545 billion = $6 billion
CY : PKR 575 billion = $5.88 billion

Cur. Rate - USD : PKR
9 Mar 12 - 1 : 90.77
9 Mar 13 - 1 : 97.75

This is peanuts considering the depreciating rupee and high inflation.

too low increase, it should be at least 60bn .

To paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld:

"We finance defense with the economy we have, not with the economy we wish we had."

I agree. If our economy does not improve, we surely will not have the resources that we need to defend ourselves in our neighborhood. A collapsed economy makes survival doubtful.

Why do u always think India is going to attack Pak
there is no way a war will be happening anytime sooner
u guys have nuke and that is sufficient to protect ur people
so more should be spend on economy
and the gap between India's and Pak's defence budget will be increasing and not decreasing
so if u go by ur post then ur people will never progress
