Such trucks are useful only in large-scale mining operations of bulk ore. Is there any mine of such size existing, or even planned, in Pakistan that requires such monsters?
Pakistan desperately needs these trucks and other heavy mechanical equipment. If you remember that eart quake some years ago, it was surprising to see the lack of heavy mechanical equipment inside Pakistan. A lot more people died because there was little to no heavy mechanical equipment available to clear the debres and haul them away. The U.S. had dispatched Marine core boys and mechanical support teams in Chinooks with mid level mechanical equipment.
As the economy grows, Pakistani government is planning on expanding its mining activities significantly, there will be Coal and other mineral mines opening up, refineries, storage and distribution centers already planned across the country around major highways, which then connect through the CPEC highway to Gawader.
So these trucks and other heavy mechanical equipment would be much, much needed to support those exploration and mining activities, and to support large construction projects too, where you build bridges and all. Such equipment would speed up existing projects too as heavy construction material would get mobilized very quickly and in much larger quantities than possible right now.
One of the key reasons Pakistan can't explore its hidden treasures inside the Earth all the way, is because of lacking heavier mechanical equipment. So a very good step in the right direction. These guys in the current government are trying to fix so many things at one time that's it's hard to believe. It's almost like as if Pakistan was just created and all the most basic things are being put in now. Sadly, it's happening after like 70 years!!!
No worries. I find it very frustrating to read the idiotic comments from so many posters just because of political bias with total disregard to national interests.
Yup, totally agreed. I find it so strange that people belonging to a country and a nation don't keep their national interests sacred, and make their own country and people doing the work look bad!!
