I don't think installing the GENESIS on the Pakistani OHP would have any repercussions, since Havelsan (the maker of GENESIS) teamed up with Lockheed Martin to "Americanize" this product on paper exactly to circumvent these kind of restrictions put on OHP users throughout the world.

I don't understand how you can compare a Roussen class FAC to a Milgem class dedicated submarine hunter, they have totally different tasks. Roussen doesn't even carry a sonar (hence no torpedo's aboard) or seahawk helicopter. An analogy of the Milgem with the OHP is more appropriate as they have...

One of the main delays of Pakistani U-214 decission was the waiting on the Greek government decission whether to renew a deal with TKMS or not. TKMS had cancelled the contract with Greece after payment conflicts that left 3 almost finished U-214 submarines in dry docks at the Skaramangas...

Any news about what kind of upgrade it thought? I am just interested because like it is maybe known the Turkish upgrade to the Perry (like the Australian upgrade) is about the maximum what can be done for these ships.

Well how many does Pakistan have? Although airdefence gun use has become obsolete with the new upgrade programs with new tracking & firecontrol radar + the use of AHEAD ammunition, these systems become a valuable CIWS for protection of valuable assets against incomming missiles. Turkish...

I did not know that Pakistan had so many Oerlikons in inventory. Actually the Turkish upgrade program for her oerlikons may be a good solution for Pakistan too. Turkish Aselsan is developing the tracking and firecontrol radar for the new upgrade setup: While MKEK is developing...

The previous concept design is overdue. This is the new concept design which is officially adopted:

The T-129 will be available in 2015-16. To convert a single engine cobra into a twin engine cobra is possible, the first super cobra prototypes where converts but the costs involved for such is not justifyable as it is nearing the cost of a new atack helicopter.

In regards to the Cobra, they are probably available in abundance however I am not sure wether the Cobra helicopter is very suitable for Pakistan. Pakistan has like Turkey high mountains and needs a helicopter that can fully armed hover up to 4 - 6 km. The single engined Cobra can not! The...

The Perry class is not junk but also not a high class ship. Perry class is poplular because of mainly two reasons: - Easy obtainable for affordable price - Low operational cost

? Are you for sure. I have never seen this kind of degaussing. The Milgem corvette has degaussing too but you can't see anything from outside.

The same article says Aselsan is also developing a battle management system for Bangladesh Large Patrol Craft program.

The "pirate" eyesight is developed for the Turkish future landwarrior program. Is this also supplied to Pakistan Cabatli?

Pakistan's military procurement official general Kingriwi visiting Turkey's SSM (undersecretariat of the ministry of defence, military procurements and developments office) to get information on Pakistani F16 modernization and T-129 attack helicopter project. for pictures: Savunma Sanayii...

Looks like the radar is still missing, next step is probably installation of the radar and in May start of the harbour tests. After the harbour tests installation of the weapons: gun, RAM, torpedo's etc. will begin and than the sea trials. Next year summer she'll probably be commisioned.

Pakistan should not make the mistake to take the PK-08 (HK33), our armed forces where very unhappy with it. We already made that mistake in the nineties, with a result that we stopped the production. Our MKEK is now developping a new rifle which is based on the HK 417, Pakistan should partner...

The BM-21 GRAD was very good for her time. Let us not forget that these where designed in the 60ties. Like everything technology is evolving and better products appear. Nowadays MLRS rockets can be fired much more precisely because of ballisitic impact computers (Turkish MLRS have Aselsan...

Actually MLRS is good and doesn't have to be a disaster of civilians either. the guided MLRS are quite precise

Turkey unfortunately doesn't have launch facilities yet, there are plans to establish one but that won't be before 2015

To compare with crusader you have to take the bigger brother of the T-155 Panter -> T-155 Firtina The Firtina has everything the crusader shows, long range >40km, auto reloader, shoot & scoot Besides for the Australian land 17 project the Korean K9 is equipped with the Aselsan fire...
