LPI Alper radars from Aselsan seem to be for 12 ships. Wonder what ships these could be - 2 Yarmouk 4 Milgem 4 additional Azmat ?? 4 Jinnah ?? Something doesn't add up.

Seculars have had a long chance in Pakistan. Other than Zia and the present government, we have had one secular government after another since Jinnah passed away. It's time to give a different approach a try - but the secular liberals are foaming at the mouth and won't let the Islamic Republic...

Turkey is doing what a great and good country should be doing. Look at the other snakes like France - acting like a colonist, supporting war criminal dictators, and making a jack @ss off themselves. Turkey is showing that a great power has the responsibility to do good on earth - not just build...

Pakistan or whatever nation / peoples, or whatever organizations they constitute (PAF / PA / PN), all human being deserve attention and respect. Just hear the sound of the reverse - deserving being ignored and disrespect unless you are some kind of golden goose. Every human beings deserves...

Massive attack helicopter advantage for India. I wonder how PAA will react to this.

Bribery is not a "mistake". It is a crime. Punishable except for the pretty boys who think they are above the land they swore to protect and flaunt its laws. This is what we call apologetics. Making excuses. And this is why bribery harms Pakistan at the highest levels, specially in the PAF...

Mastan Khan doesn't actually think the JH-7 is a good aircraft for the Mirage platform for strike missions over land. I personally feel we should take a page from the US play book. When the US faced an increasingly better equiped Soviet capability in terms of SAMs and IADS, they didn't try to...

What a shame. And then someone will say "PAF are professionals, they know best, don't question them"

Well, then it would be nothing like Andrasta as Pak doesn't have the technological capability to build it - but I do agree with @Bilal Khan 777 that Pak needs a 400 - 700 ton submarine. Andrasta is, at sail a 900 ton submarine. Its got AIP. A non-magnetic hull. It's like buying a BMW when we...

I think you may be on the wrong forum...

Few problems with this argument: 1. Indian Sub was detected in deep waters not shallow waters. 2. If you look at an underwater map of the Indian Ocean, only a narrow strip of Pakistani coast is in shallow waters while just beyond Pakistani waters, Indian ocean is deep and relatively flat. 3...

It is a massively complex and expensive platform for its size. Has AIP. Will cost a leg and an arm. Why not just buy a proper submarine for a fraction of that price from the Chinese? I think it would be far more meaningful to go with an indigenously built solution - that does the missions that...

I think to reach up and touch the Indian Eastern ports, one needs a 400-700 ton submarine. Andrasta is a smaller Scorpene sub - costing nearly as much, mostly defeating the purpose of having a locally made, low cost small submarine.

There is a likelihood of war with India over Kashmir. India has twice the regular number of soldiers and 3 times the reserve and paramilitary forces. What would you suggest is the best way, with a limited budget, to expand the army? Conscription seemed to work for Korea, Israel, Switzerland...

Brilliantly summarized. Thank you.

Interesting. What would you say to a minimal draft - unlike the SA experience with large scale drafting. Just 100,000 men from a population of 220 million would be a drop in the bucket. They would operate under their own command, separate from the main professional standing army that is present...

Here is what I think PN wants to do in the future: 1. Expand its shore defense to 400nm 2. Establish a basic SLOC defense against blockade 3. Nuclear triad I think a fourth position should be added: 4. Threaten IN Eastern ports For (4) they could utilize: A. Strike aircraft (like the J/H-7A...

Wonderful to have you back @Bilal Khan 777 This is a subject I learned a lot about from you in the past. How many do you think Pakistan needs given present geopolitical circumstances and PN plans in the next 30 years?

This is a foreign policy blunder on the part of Pakistan, similar to handshake attempts with Modi that backfired. The main attempt of BAL is to ensure that the "Pakistan problem" is kept in the minds of the people. They will keep things simmering and then use opportune moments to condemn...
