Pakistan to raise 12,000 Marines in a new branch of Navy

[ACE OF THE AIR]

Better idea make every Pakistani a marine commando




I would not count PAF in this engagement as it will have its hands full with IAF also many SU-30 are based in South India that can participate in any naval conflict on the western front

Well PAF would only train the PN pilots so they have the experience to destroy an aircraft carrier along with the associated battle group. PAF would also be increasing its capabilities and capacity to cater what ever India throws on them.

Marines are needed for large naval powers to carry seaborne operations miles from mainland.

Eg small islands forming part of your country. Ie andaman or Nicobar in india .s case. Or to protect vital strategic assets territory thousands of miles away.

Pakistan has no islands or territory and no blue water navy to need or utilise this force.

Already cash strapped use your small budget elsewhere ie new armour helicopters frigates etc..

They will get money for feasibility studies and eat all the budget for it and finally declare it unfeasible...seems like same tactics that are followed by our babudom is being followed by the Pakistanis i guess.

Okay .. I will ask the PM to disband the Marine corps (established decades ago)..

And not to induct 12,000 more guys!

 

[Indian Jatt]

Bloody waste of money. What is the point of Marines? What seaborne attack are we contemplating? Attacking Oman? Or securing the sea?

First please, please please can we secure Karachi and FATA then we can think of the sea.

could be for the runn of kuchh, its marshy and Pakistan operates hovercrafts here...in war time cutting runn of kuchh from India could make Gujarat vulnerable...its modiji state, such an action would Demoralize Indian army and navy....

Spot on there. Don't tell me I am the only one embarrased about our cops. The only "fear" about them is the stupid "No Fear" labels stuck on their backside. I mean which idiot came up with that idea. I swear there is some joker in Pakistan fully employed to come up with most banal names like "Elite mother*** Police" the only elite thing about them is they are No. 1 as*holes.
.

Tell me your joking about those labels , as for everything else Ditto in India ..

I think they would be part of that may be not rightly reported the news may be of 12000 more added to Marine Force.

Our navy is the most under-funded part.
They wont look all high tech but they have the things that need to be done.
Dont have pictures, someone else might do it.

It is a good step as they may be needed for security purposes regarding the Pak China economic corridor.

and buy these lazy slobs razor blades. Report to duty, have a shower and shave. This look of getting out of bed, slapping on crappy clothes with a bedraggled unshaven face does not suit a uniformed disciplined organisation. That is my opinion anyway. Your men must have a impressive look to gain awe and respect from public.

I know these are border gaurds but frankly look at our guys. Learn to friggin stand straight, is that not what initial training to march should do. stand with erect posture? Look at our faggot on right side? He needs to be pensioned off. Then look at the cartoon uniforms our boys are wearing? Then unshaven bedraggled look? Friggin embarrasing. If these guy's can't stand straight, waer proper uniforms, tidy themselves what fly frigg can you expect them to do? Just collect their wages? Look at the Chinese for comparison? Most Chinese I have met are small and whimpy but even their police is better then ours.

And what is that gandoo red thing wrapped around? Friggin joke?

Clean up your language, please.

One good suggestion for pakistan navy why im giving it because PN in past keep doing stupid things

Please develop sense giving year training and handing over AK 47 wont do any betrr buy hi tech systems for man

Pakistan marines uses gun and manpad system and few small boats thats it

No machanised apc given to marinex as us marines uses it no seprate base no seprate helos and no seprate ships please buy them first

Naval marines is demanding job needs weapons which make difference

 

[Humble Analyst]

This is a very good approach towards security in Balochistan as Army and Rangers are already over whelmed. Some considerations should be taken into account.
The force should be self reliant, i.e. should have own helos, hover crafts, landing crafts, land vehicles, APCs including mine proof vehicles, Unmanned Aerial vehicles (for convoy scouting/protection, borders/pipeline surveillance, reconnaissance, ports and bases security). New base should be formed in Balochistan and medium to long range Sam batteries should be installed in and around base/ports.
This can be done in 3 phases and last phase can include SAMS and ground support naval arm jet squadron based in Balochistan, inland of Gawadar or Ormara.
If the Marines are equipped with this type of equipment then 5 to 7 thousand can do the task assigned. However 12000 marines will be vulnerable if basic arms and vehicles only are supplied. Night vision/operational capability will be crucial for personnel and surveillance crafts.

If you start connecting the dots this is part of the Pakistan's Military's longer-term plans for an expeditionary force focused primarily on the Middle East specifically Saudi Arabia and the Holy sites. The number of training battalions at the Pakistan Military Academy has been increased from 3 to 4 so the pipeline for officers has already been geared up. Very soon you will start hearing about hardware to support this expansion. The Saudi are fully onboard and paying for it. Pakistani troops are already in Saudi Arabia. The Yemen issue was just a minor irritant as the Pakistani did not agree with the strategy and they will be proven right very soon. Pakistani involvement in the middle east needs longer-term planning and this is all about that.
