Disagree. The Babur class is superior to the 054A/P imo. 052DL is a separate story when it comes to capabilities, but that would not cover the ToT and all the other things that came along with the Babur project.
054 is not a priority for China, so they do not receive the same sort of attention...
These lists are taken from Wikipedia and are only half accurate, lots of issues here.
False. LC70 still in production. PA was absolutely not the last customer.
There are still a small few left I think, I have no idea how they keep them running, but I have seen a couple post 2018. Maybe retired...
If economic conditions permit, VT4 will be. AK-1 production has ceased. Only VT4s will be procured for the foreseeable future, while older types will be kept running with upgrades to keep numbers up, since we don’t have the money to replace them all with VT4s, but ideally, that would be the...
Tariq served in the Falklands war with the British, her original crew were the ones who petitioned and requested the PN to return it to be preserved as a museum ship. The Royal Navy/British Govt only got on board the plan later, it’s more of a exchange between the sailors of two forces than a...
APS systems are always a last resort. The first line of protection for an MBT against ATGMs and other AT threats is combined arms warfare. GL6 Will definitely help, but it does not make a tank impervious, especially not against a top attack munition. Maybe the tank will still drive and the crew...
It most definitely can, only out of necessity however, not because it’s a modern machine.
See the Pakistan-india theatre is much different from say Ukraine or something we’d think of in the west. It’s a game of numbers more than anything, the borders, especially deserts and plains are very tank...
It is now, I meant that when I went there was only the prototype. It is not confirmed wether the army intends to use these turrets to upgrade existing AZs or produce new ones, but I believe it is more likely that they are making new AZs from their stocks of Type 59s.
Not many. It is likely not too major of an upgrade technologically because AZ is meant to be low cost. The turret and hull armor is clearly upgraded. There might be changes to the FCS and there is a proposal to switch the thermals from THETIS to Catherine FC for commonality with other PA MBTs...
Many things here I want to reply to, confirm, deny or simply talk about, but not sure if I can.
So I apologize for my lack of input for the last couple of days and in the near future.
Kindly watch your internet activity and posts for those of you living in Pakistan, be careful about what you...
I get what you mean, but please don’t let the conspiracies take a hold yet. I know some of the people involved down there. If some in the army weren’t willing to shoot the awaam, then they are even less likely to be willing to allow false flags to kill their own soldiers, even if the generals on...
Definitely not ordinary. There’s a reason why Corps Commander himself is there commanding the situation, why the op was put on hold until the SSG could come and take over, otherwise the FC-SF would usually be enough.
Conspiracies will fly, but if such an attack had to happen. This was either...
Agreed. Hold out for confirmation, Could very well be real.
There’s definitely something bad happening in BL right now. Will have details by tomorrow hopefully.
Not all confirmed, but not all false either.
Establishment is always meant to be more than one person, the reason why no failsafes have been triggered because of this, is because this situation is so unprecedented that the people that should have triggered those failsafes forgot that they...
I would advise not believing readily on the news regarding the shuffling of the more senior generals. The reasons and background themes among some of those seem to be different than the rest. But generally yes it is true.
Several thousands of people are Alive today because of these men.
I’m not a very religious person, but This reminds me of a conversation i had when IK was removed from the government. I was asked how these people kept getting away with this. How the people of the country, including the good people, were always the ones to suffer, and yet these corrupt...
Authentic enough. Asim has gone mad. Rather he always has been, people are only realizing now, some of us already knew.
Several Officers are being removed for not following orders. And some for other reasons altogether.
