India seems to be in search for foreign partners to help her producing a composite stealth corvette like the Swedish Visby. Could be a reaction to Pakistans MOU with Turkey on the stealth Milgem and the composite stealth MRTP33 acquisitions.

To make remarks like Pakistan should acquire Z-10 or T-129 is very shallow. One has to look first at the needs, operational requirements etc. The ability like flying high in mountainous areas are for some countries a must for instance. Second important area is weaponry, no country would...

Pakistan can only solve her short term needs by purchasing second hand frigates. And the Perry choice is a good one if also an upgrade is concidered. For longterm frigates I would advice Pakistan to go indigenous or at least co-develop with foreign partners (not necesarilly Chinese or...

I'd propose my Pakistani brothers to also have a look at the OMTAS missile which is the alternative to the Javelin with the same features.

Al Hamza is actually the M113 with a Chinese turret, an apc that is converted into an IFV. The Al Talha development got assistance from the Turkish FNSS, hence the looks similar to the ACV 300. Both Turkey and Pakistan are in need of a new type modern tracked AIFC and tracked APC. In...

It is not wise for Pakistan to turn her back on China, since China is a major arms supplier. However it is also not wise to build solely on China but have a diversion in cooperation partners. IMHO it is the best for Pakistan to have tenders in which countries willing to share TOT compete...

I have to take my words back when I said I highly doubt you will see them on AH-1W super cobra. Dear friend Cabatli just proved me wrong with the picture above where a super cobra test fires the CIRIT missile. But I am glad I was wrong, thanx Cabatli :cheers:

Absolutely not!! Before 1950'ties Turkey had a great vision of being absolutely independent, we had factories, military defence industry and we even designed our own airplanes. Ever since Turkey joined NATO in 1952 our stupid politicians did everything to make Turkey dependent on all fronts...

Dear Mark, you are looking at things from emotional perspective. I am more a pragmatic person and like to classify in black, white and gray tones. IMO religion is a very powerfull thing, can be used as a weapon in wrong hands. And as long as you don't have the power to safeguard the...

Closing the eyes for realities is your weaknes Mark. Let us summon the Muslim countries: - Pakistan (plagued by civil unrest, taliban) - Turkey (plagued by Kurd terorism) - Iran (plagued by international isolism US policy) - Egypt (plagued by radicalists teror) and the list goes on...

FNSS still calculates to build about 900 ACV300 and ACV-S vehicles in the comming years for Malaysia and Pakistan Pakistan is likely to commence licensed co-production of the Turkish AIFV by the mid-term of the forecast period. In 2004, FNSS Savunma Sistemleri completed the Turkish...

As I see Marksien you base your thoughts without knowing the Turkish history. The Caliphate was safe and well protected in times when the Ottoman empire was strong (or better said a superpower in the world). But begin 20th century in WW1 the Ottoman empire lost the war and became occupied by...

Well in normal circumstances I could agree with your thoughts, but think of it in the real situation of 1924, Turkey had just emerged from the ashes of the remains of the Ottoman empire (and still greatfull to the help sent by our Pakistani brothers). Strange as it may sound the Caliphate as...

Ataturk abolishing the Caliphate was something that protected Pakistanis as well, yet some are too blind to see. After the Ottoman empire was defeated the Sultan Caliphe turned into a puppet of England (note that after Ataturk abolished the Caliphate the Sultan took a British ship to settle in...

The MoU is/was directed on helping Pakistan create her own version of ARMERKOM (Turkish Naval Research Center Command) Dz.K.K.l??? Ara?t?rma Merkezi Komutanl??? - Ana Sayfa This center guides design works and naval subsystem development projects. In other words Turkey tries to help Pakistan...

??? Dear Mark Sien, what you write above shows that you have understand nothing about Ataturk. People tend to think about Ataturk as anti Islamic because he abolished the Caliphate and brought secularism. If you just look at the surface you get that picture but in fact Ataturk did the best...

Probably yes or a different mission computer had been installed, the baktar-shikan was installed on a Cobra AH-1S helicopter. These helicopters are well over the age of patend protection, which means everyone can configure them at wish. Pakistan Anti Tank Missile Baktar Shikan - HongJian HJ-8...

I see many replies like Pakistan should buy artillery, corvettes etc. from Turkey. Now I am not against Turkey selling stuff to Pakistan, there where we can help Pakistan we should. But in my opinion the biggest value of help is not to give fish but to teach to catch fish. I would like to...

I highly doubt you will see them on Cobra's (ofcourse depending on what kind of Cobra we talk about) AH-1W super cobra's are still patent restricted and cannot be modified without US permission (as far as I know, I am not completely sure) AH-1P models are above the age of patent restriction...

Smart missile pod, UMTAS/CIRIT combi The pod allows a mix of missiles, a combination of MMW/RF or laserguided UMTAS, laserguided CIRIT and or Stinger ATAL missiles giving the chopper a lethal punch day and night with an unrivaled firepower!
