Pakistan Navy demands increase in budget

I agree ..... Either Pakistan Government Increase the Budget as whole which they can't due to well known reasons ..... So, the best solution to problem of Navy would to Increase its Budget share in current Budget (which can surely come with a decrease in budget of PA or PAF) depending upon which of the two will agree to decrease its Budget as Both PA and PAF lacks to current modern warfare demands

About time but then i wonder why was such a demand not made earlier during the tenure of previous government? Navy is the most neglected part of the 3 arms of the armed forces. If war ever breaks out, we will have to suffer the brunt of our negligence.

So as per your assessment it should be a Cut in share of PA ?? but what i mean by modern warfare was a look of US Soldier to the Military ... Like in India we are moving towards F-Insas program ...... But anyway I even think the probable cut should be in PA budget ..... If they don't have any other alternative like loans or leasing from China but, that even need money and it would be in favor of PA if they help in strengthening navy and Decreasing threat of IN

your enemy's are not faraway from your land so, developing a strong navy in attacking posture then in defencing ... in my views it will be not a great idea .... and PAF needs its budget much more then Navy .... The Above comment suggest the cut from PA which will be must good option then from PAF

Well I will prefer that noones budget is dropped just rise the budget to PN……
well PA moderinazation of infantary is underway and PA should take part in economic activities like PAF is doing by introducing tablets and E-books and soo should Navy by producing commercial boats for sale……

I personally think Pakistan navy needs more money to buy sophisticated weapons & pak govt should allocate more money for navy

That is dependent on our vision.

For a country like Pakistan, with a limited defense budget, the ideal priority should be Pak-AirForce > Pak-Army > Pak-Navy. Air supremacy gives an unparalleled advantage in defense and offensive strategies and gain utmost importance.

But if we're looking at a larger role in the future with the ability to project power beyond the immediate region, then the priorities need a careful balancing between Pak-Navy and Pak-Army followed by the Pak-AirForce.

 

[Last Hope]

They deserve it. Pakistan Navy got increased percentage in budget for 2012, keeping it equal to PAF (if I am not wrong).

If I may just venture an opinion: PA certainly and PAF to some extent have already attained 'critical mass'. The PN has not, yet. Hence the PN needs additional infusion of fund. SLOCs are your life-line. Critical to survival.

Sir with Respect can they earn that much by selling Commercial boats with International Market a tough place for competition and all ready to many Big Business Houses having their strong hold over Commercial boat market .... it will not be a good Idea wasting the Resource of Nation in the Business with very High risk ..... Instead i agree until Pakistan Economy don't rise they (PA and PAF) can give a share of their Budget to PN ..... in such away that modernization of The PA and PAF is not affected
to much bigger strength ... Hard to decide but, possibility is their ...

Agree with your point on PN, but not on PAF. IMO both have a long way to go before they can successfully fulfil their role in defending the airspace and sea lanes.

In fact, the PAF is only starting to come out of a state (due to past sanctions) that was probably unimaginable pre-70s.

What if PN Suffer huge loss and force to remain in its Harbour (Port of Karachi)..... and blockade is forced on Pakistan ... the PAF and PA will in some part of war will run out of the Resources like Petrol .... and then what will they do with their Air Supermacy ???
