Pakistan-Russia in talks over S-400 Missile Defence System: Foreign media
Posted By: News Deskon: August 31, 2017
DEPO’s Brigadier General Waheed Mumtaz told reporters that Islamabad was ready to buy more military equipment from Russia depending on the Pakistani military’s experience with the helicopters.
The deal came three years after Russia officially lifted an arms embargo against Pakistan, which had been in place since the Soviet-Afghan War.
The rocky US-Pakistan relationship over the past years has seen Washington time and again threatening to cut Islamabad’s military aid over its support for some terror groups, pushing the traditional US ally in the region towards Moscow.
Pakistan’s growing interest in Russian technology became more apparent earlier this year, when reports pointed to Islamabad’s willingness to purchase Russian S-400 missile defense systems, among other items.
“Russia has good tanks, helicopters, electronic equipment, air defense systems that Pakistan may consider. The S-400 is a big ticket number and it will all depend on our budget,” an unnamed Pakistani military official told Russian state media in February.
India’s burgeoning military cooperation with the US has also played a role in Pakistan’s tilt towards Russia.
As Pakistan’s arch-rival, India has made a $2 billion deal with the US to buy 22 unarmed drones. Washington has also agreed to sell C130J Super Hercules and the C-17 Globemasters transport planes as well as the Boeing P-8 Poseidon spy aircraft to New Delhi.
The cooperation is expected to speed up under US President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly accused Pakistan of harboring terrorists.

WHO CARES??????????..........the fact of the matter is that Pakistan can get just as advanced systems from China or other sources. The point is that Pakistan has an extremely powerful and advanced military that a nation that is more than 7x bigger than us and has abundant access to the world's most advanced weapons systems whilst we are denied this privilege, is too weak, powerless and helpless to do anything to us. That's all that matters.
What dodgy method ? None of the reports posted above are Indian.
Those are latest figures from last year since 2017 report is not out yet. So refute it with facts not your rants. It clearly states that percentage wise you are worse in Indian Subcontinent. Off course in absolute numbers India has large number of poor since we are 2nd largest population in the world.
Also don't show your yellow teeth again and again because if truth hurts then deal with it.
The truth????rants???????.........
I'm not the one spewing my narrative, here are the facts and figures from non-Pakistani sources, from india's allies in facts. Please disprove and refute each one :

So please solve the above pressing indian problems before indian kind starts worrying and questioning our military finances..............
It proves although having 6 times more population than Pakistan we are managing with our deficiencies better.Check out proportions rather than populations.We never said we don't have poor or malnourished.Irony a Pakistani is taking pride over it.Check out hunger index before doing such & decide who is the worst performing.
The same hunger index which claims that 15-16% of india's population is equal to 30-40% of the ENTIRE Earths most severely malnourished and extreme poor......:

Realistically-I think the s-400 will be a part of the combined defense Russia-Pakistan deal consisting of- 3 divisions of t-14 armata, 2-3 nuclear subs, Russian icbm tech transfer and of course 100-120 su-35s.
What a silly fantasy thread.
indians also claimed that Pakistan becoming a nuclear weapons state was also a fantasy. We all know what happened with that indianism...............
