If you mean comparing a T90S with a VT4 then I’d disagree. One is from the early 90s and one is from Post 2010. T90MS is more comparable to VT4 but those are not in service with the IA. VT4 is Almost a generation ahead of the T90S. If we compare the Al-Khalid to the T90S; The T90S definitely...

Except neither T90 nor Al-Khalid have anything in common with T64. Nor do they share the same fatal flaw given the carousel auto-loader isn’t the biggest weak spot, ammo lying around in the fighting compartment is, something the T90S suffers from but the Al-Khalid does not. Try doing some basic...

I’m a year late, but no. AK-1 is significantly superior to T90S. The original AK may be compared to the T90S but apart from armor protection I don’t see Indian T90S taking the edge against Al-Khalid in any category even then. In the original T90S, this same ammo was scattered all over the...

That’s what I said :D

Your and other peoples opinions on this topic do make me rethink if downsizing is the best way to achieve modernization in the PA, it however only further reinforces my belief that the current rate of replacement and modernization in PA is too slow and something needs to be done to increase it’s...

It’s not the numbers, it’s the type. Our APCs are ancient, we've been trying to find a replacement to no avail. We don’t have modern ATGMs, 1/3rd of our tank fleet is obsolete, yes we will slowly see replacement programs, but it will take decades to replace every single M113 and Bakhtar Shikan...

Oh come on, don’t give me this india nazi nation going to attack Pakistan stuff. Pakistanis love to either overstate their Importance in the world or are just war-mongering all the time, there’s really never a realistic way of thinking involved, always a ton of conspiracy theories of “everyone...

I do not. UCAVs are very good for some roles but there are some things only helicopters can do right now and hence both need to work in tandem. UCAVs cannot advance with armored columns and troops at low altitude, they cannot be equipped with cannons to engage individual troops and positions to...

Maybe, but downsizing is a very slow process, it does not involve retiring your active soldiers at all or putting them out of work. It involves taking in less troops every year to slowly downsize, so the troops will be retiring at their regular ages and may not be fit for police service or will...

Russia has a much larger armed forces, I was not talking about what they used In Ukraine only, that was my entire point. They have much larger forces yet can only use a portion of them, so having a massive army is not helping them, but better planning and technology would have helped them (they...

I’ve discussed before how the Ukrainian-Russian conflict is a poor example to apply to other countries because of how surprising it was. Russia, despite having much larger numbers and much better technology Is on the losing end, so it’s definitely an outlier. And the Ukrainian forces would have...

It’s again a matter of how warfare will happen in the modern day, an all out war is highly unlikely given both india and Pakistan cannot afford it and the international community will not stand for it, but smaller skirmishes are a very realistic threat. We cannot rely on manpower alone, we need...

Exactly. We need this downsizing not because we’re trying to be more biased towards a smaller force with better equipment, but because we’re too biased towards manpower right now instead of technology, we need to regain the balance, every force in the world is downsizing to regain this balance...

This is exactly the issue, people don’t understand the modern war and think downsizing somehow means we’re going to get rid of all our manpower. That’s not how this works. If the entire worlds military experts have agreed that downsizing in the favor of modernization is the way forward, then how...

Agreed. Regardless of who was right and who was wrong. Elections are the way forward. All of the people of Pakistan were not in support of the VoNC at all. Just as not all are in support of IK. So let elections decide who has the majority. Both sides have made major legal mistakes, and unless...

That 1.4 million is exactly why they are underequipped, underfed and undertrained. All modern armies have movies towards downsizing to increase capability, equipment and technology, including the largest standing army in the world; China. India has also been downsizing for the same reason, it’s...

Good move if true. Army needs to downsize substantially to manage its funds and equipment better. A smaller, better trained, better armed force is much more useful in today’s conflict scenarios where an all out war is much less likely than a smaller, contained conflict in a selected area. We...

I don’t get why people treat the constitution of Pakistan like the word of god really. It’s probably the most useless thing that exists in the country and is one of the worst written constitutions in the history of constitutions. So many loopholes and ambiguities exist in it, it’s so subjective...

China intervenes in other countries economically. They trap them in debts, and the funny thing is this isn’t even something you can blame them for because 90% of the time it can be blamed on the governments that got trapped in their debts by being corrupt. China is smart, their strategy is very...

Exactly. See this guy gets it. I have no strong political opinions, but I don’t want us to piss off China or become pro-US with regards to our defense acquisitions at all because it will mess up all the previous decade of build up with Chinese weaponry. At the same time I don’t think we should...
