Bohlari does not have trees as yet!

I read the book in Karachi Gymkhana library. could not find it outside. Very informative piece i must say so. thank so very much for sharing. A beautifully written piece. Alas they die so young!

Gents this is a model and seems to me, not to scale. So I would not surmise on the dimensions or the actual finished build.

Both Brooks and Garcia class were essentially Frigates but designated initially as destroyer escorts. Gearings of FRAMM programs were also DE's.

Thank you for the reply. Wenever you have the opportunity or time can you please reply to my other question on Z-20F and its Assault derivative Salam Araz Sb.: IMHO and according to LKJ86 none, or it seem so. The only platforms we can equip them with will be the two Fleet Replenishment ships...

What about Type 54A's or Type 54AP?

Thanks for the info. interesting details in all pics. I have as usual some questions. In the first pic what is aft of the torpedo. It looks like some kind of drogue with its own pylon? The second pic seems to be depicting two version of Z-20, one a naval version of assault/troop carrying helo...

Thx for sharing these pics. If I may ask, what are the rectangular fairings just below the pilot entry doors? Is it a side looking radar array of some kind or a flotation equipment panel? Thx. So it is panels for flotation gear. There seems to be another hard point forward of the torpedo hard...

It is a very good platform but at 46 million dollars/helo it is quite expensive. On top of that our experience with Lynx was not good. Italian Navy is not using it but Augusta/Leonardo is a partner in development and production. Furthermore, the LHTEC CTS800 engines used on wildcat are...

I think PN should look towards taking a stake in Z-20F and build up the ship-board fleet from there. China will invest in shipboard helis as this an area that they lag behind. Z-9 are light helos. When the type 54 comes in, Z-20F would be a good choice to go for.

IMHO and I have elaborated this in my post on other threads, the optimum for PN is: 1 16 x Ship Major Surface Combatant Fleet made up multi mission frigates (Mix of Milgem, 54A & B with UVLS or the Jinnah Class). We will be four short when all the planned surface combatants join and the rest...

4 F22P's 4 Milgems 4 Type 54A's 2 Yarmook class Corvettes All Type 21 Frigates fill be retired as soon as four Type 54 arrive. The lone OHP will also be retired by 2024 when most of the Milgems would have arrived. 3 Upgraded AIP Agosta 90B 8 Hangor Class 2 Agosta 70's will be retired as...

The third one is not an RHIB but an inflatable boat to be used as a utility tender while in harbour etc. There is no plan for a 40 Nos. major surface combatant Navy! And there is no logical use of a landing ship dock (LSD) for PN. Where do we plan to mount amphibious operations? Will we have...

The delay in block III can be attributed to: 1. The specs are stringent and require a lot of rework on the whole design 2. The required avionics suit is not accessible at the moment so a stop gap solution is being worked upon but is taking time to come up to specs. 3. The engine issue still...

My one liner; Urban/rural quota system should be done away with in Sindh! End of sentence. Rest is all politics and business of making money. After-all, Pakistan is and will remain a business venture of likes of NS, Zardar, Altaf and many many others.

4 billion is billion by any account. Ask Lockheed and they will tell you. US is one of the very few countries that has, historically, sold to both sides during standoff, world wide. Israel, KSA, Jordan, Egypt, Turkey... the list is long. The are and will remain excellent deal makers and the...

Same is the case with Armoured elements stationed at Quetta. They are included in the Ops planning of 5 Corps.

Thank you! Big man to admit ones mistake! Stay safe buddy!!

Be respectful..that is the hallmark of a gentleman. The word you used was in bad taste to say the least.

As far as I can remember sir, the tax collection in 2018-19 was $27.5 Billion and not $40.0 billion. If it would have been that figure, half of our worries would have been gone! My 2C worth
