Pakistan Navy commissions 3rd Pak Marines Battalion

[Thəorətic Muslim]

My bad.
I thought that SSGN were also called Marines. Marines are special forces in USA different from Army, Navy and Airforce.

Yes Pakistan have SSGN which are equivalent to SSGs in the army.

But Pak Marines are also not far behind in their training. They are also an important part and demand respect from all of us.

In the USA Marines are not special forces. They do have Special Ops Units, the youngest in US SOCOM.

What Radar is that? And what is it doing with PN?

Low level air defence radar operating in conjuncture with radar control guns for coastal defence.

[Malik Usman]

Are Pak Marines "just" naval infantry or real commandos?

Before asking such question....you need to surface the google....

No Zohaib, Marines are not used for such combat situations,their role is restricted to the Navy.

But the PN and PAF and PA should look towards getting some Chinese systems as well for High Altitute strike.

I read somewhere that total strength of 1 brigade of 5 or 6 battalion will be raised to cover all coastline from Creek to Gawadar.

That requires substantial funds, which are not forthcoming. Pakistan navy should ideally have around two squadrons of J-16s for maritime strike role. Should Pakistani economy recover, we may see some more acquisitions.

It would be far better to get 25-30 JF-17 Block-II and 30-35 JF-17 Block-IIIs.

They won't have the range needed for effective sea denial.

PAF Naval Wing doesnot require it too be long rage like Su-30s, if needed then one under fuselarge or two under each wing will do that.
