Pakistan,s defence spending lowest in region

[truthseeker2010]

Go and ask from people of Palestine, Egypt, Syria ,Iraq and Afghanistan. Well update yourself.

if you think stronger military is the only thing needed for long term survival, then North korea would have been the most powerful country in the world, and Soviet union would never have collapsed.

During Sdaam era Iraq had the largest No of universities in Muslim World. Libya during Qazafi times had exemplary civil welfare structure. So sad they all are in miserable condition now. Why? Lack of strong armed forces and advance tech

both had weak air-defense systems, and in case of libya, it naively terminated its nuclear weapons program... also their armies though good were not numerically strong to resist invasions.

I dont buy your idea. Fate of egypt, palestine , syria , lebonan, iraq and afghanistan is the guideline for you. You still want to remain in fools paradise its up to you. Russia is an independent country with great army and weapon system. No one can dare to treat them like countries i mentioned above. Russia is a veto power.

pakistan's spending on defence(as % of gdp and tax income) is actually very high, and unless both the gdp and tax income is increased, this level is not sustainable, so your idea of low spending is flawed.

 

[Storm Force]

Pakistan has a tiny gdp compared to China India turkey Saudi etc.

Of course it's only going to be s small budget.

You can't spend money you don't have

Foolish thread

 

[Cyberian]

... AVM Quddus admitted that military pensions, which have risen to over Rs100 billion, were not given from the defence budget but from civilian allocations. ...

Bloody hell.

Pakistan kay chor, daku aur badmaash.

 

[Jungibaaz]

In battle ground % of GDP spent on defense budget doesn't matter, what matter is how well equipped you are. Survival comes first, Luxuries later.

Nonsense. Its the most important story of all.

 

[rockstar08]

Its not about who spend more Billions of Dollar , but its all about how and where you spend it ..
so Far Pakistan Armed forces are doing good in small Budget .. but they need more to fight War on Terror and also keep an eye on India ..

 

[tarrar]

PD Budget is mainly eaten by corrupt Benazir Income support program, VIP protocols & security to former corrupt & incompetent parliamentarians & so on.

You are comparing Apples with Oranges. Any country with ambitions of taking over a big portion of the world map will never succeed in its ambition no matter how powerful and will eventually collapse and don't even talk about North Korea because North Korea is a rogue state. On the other hand, Pakistan has been on existential threat since it's inception!

All I care about is high and efficient education spending. It's the only thing can make the country rich and prosper. Weapons will just keep you alive to fight another day.

Learn from Iraq and Libya incidents. Their PhDs are fighting civil war in streets........ We have improved our educational status from 27% to 72% in past decade. We are going fine in field of education........

 

[tested]

Incorrect.

Pakistan is neither the lowest in defense spending nominally in the region - Bangladesh is.
Nor is Pakistan lowest in defense spending as a percentage of GDP.


Pakistan as usual feels compelled to lie.

Iraq didn't have a weak air defense network, they had a huge military in all branches, but, what did they lack? maintenance, they had like 800+ fighter jets and only like 100 or 200 of them maximum were able to fly

Flying against NATO, it makes zero difference to the overall result.
