The local DMRs in PA are based on the G3 itself, I do not see why it would be less robust or harder to maintain. The numbers issue also does not make sense because it’s a local weapon that they can produce more of, shoehorning a G3 into a role it is not designed for does not seem a good idea to...

DMRs exist for such a role, some of PAs DMRs are already based on the G3 platform.

Takes so bad they aren’t even worth replying to. Pass.

I don’t believe they are distributed at all. Most PA squads now carry strictly type 56s, for good reason, G3s are far too big and unwieldy for modern use and need to be retired ASAP. G3s are still used by sentries in cantonments and in places where a soldier might need to stay stationary more...

Uninformed comment. The JF17 is not even in the same league as a Tejas. The Block 3 is already operating with technologies that Tejas isn’t slated to get until the MK2, while the MK1A is still a few years off from even flying in the IAF. The testing and production phase of just the MK1A is...

On further inspection, agreed. The assembly hall does not look like the one at HIT. It is too small. The tanks are also not AK-1s, instead they are likely AKs being rebuilt. We have already seen these rebuilt AKs during exercises in the Sindh region, so that also lines up.

Yes, but not necessarily just “Al-Khalid-1” assembly line. The factory that produces Al-Khalid is the same one that is now producing VT4. At any time there are multiple tanks on the line at different stages of completion, All AK-1s are complete construction wise at this point, only some left at...

No, Different for all three. AK and AK-1 have identical base armor design and layout which is different (and better) than ZTZ-96 due to inclusion of certain elements from both Russian/Ukrainian and Chinese designs. ZTZ-96B likely has different armor than its older variants as well. VT-4 is...

I have already discussed in depth why it’s a bad idea. And it remains as such.

And it has at least two decades more left in it too.

I would argue that the usage of ERA has never been and never will be a debate, especially in urban warfare. it is simply a no-brainer. Infantry needs to train around ERA, not the other way around, it is that essential to a tanks survival. Though I do agree with the second part, in any...

I recommend Canadian solar for the Panels and SOFAR Solar inverters. Batteries aren’t an absolute must and I don’t recommend an off grid system. Hybrid is best, especially because we have so much load shedding (keep in mind if you don’t have batteries, your solar system will not work, even when...

Definitely still worth it, but the bigger capacity you install the faster it pays off, 3.2KW is a good start, I have 5KW installed and moving to 10 soon hopefully. Can’t say about price, I installed mine before the economy went to shit, I’m sure it’s more expensive now, but by how much i cannot...

I’ve heard of that College yes, goes to show that humans are the same just about everywhere, but even then we always manage to impress.

Again, not unique to the army, 800000 people leave Pakistan every year to work or live in other countries, a small percentage of them are from army families, I’m willing to bet that %Age is not much higher than the %age of people in Pakistan who actually belong to army families, it’s not really...

Kiyani is not settled in Australia. He lives in Pakistan. Nor are all of his children abroad. Bajwa is also still in Pakistan, though he has done and is doing enough corruption as is, he doesn’t need to go anywhere else to do it. Musharraf was also in Pakistan until his health deteriorated, and...

The IMF has always understood the Pakistani economy and the reasons for its downfall far better than anyone inside Pakistan, especially its government and foreign ministers ever have, simply because the IMF, for all its flaws or not, is actually a finance related company with actual experts...

The first three rows are thicker too, not as thick as the blocks on the turret or at the front of the hull, but still more so than on the original. Keep in mind thickness isn’t everything, it’s still FYIV versus FYII, one is older and does not effect the penetration of Tandem HEAT or APFSDS...

I have too, though I’m not in that line of work. One simply needs to visit CEME and HIT to get an entire list of parts that are locally made for the UD. It includes most of the electronic systems, the Hulls were also rebuilt locally. However even a single part can grind a tank to a halt, and a...

We do manufacture a lot of T80UD parts. More than Ukraine does. We do it specifically because Ukraine cannot, the war didn’t change anything, Ukraine has been unable to deliver most components for UD since 2016. The FCS, GCS, auto-loader, radios, sights and many other parts were modernized and...
