10/7/2020 Turkish Armed forces (TSK) has conducted a number of successful operations in recent times in Syria and Libya. We are seeing a new template for warfare that is network driven and drone heavy, among other characteristics. The Afrin operation was a highly successful operation by Turkey...

There was a lot of rumours some time ago of a twin-engined J-10. I remember even Crobato, a well known Chinese poster spoke about it. What happened to this project? The project interests me because of the recent rumours of a new Chinese aircraft that PAF may be acquiring. A twin-engined J-10...

There are a lot of lessons to be learnt from history. None more so than how Germany revolutionized warfare and created the very basis for modern day combat with their maneuver warfare. From 1939 to today, we see this. As recently as Gulf War, german tactics were used to defeat and overwhelm the...

Hi, I would like to open a thread for the military developments in Idlib. It seems that the war is continuing with many sides in the battlefield and will likely continue for years to come. The principle sides that are involved are: 1. Syrian revolutionary forces like the FSA, SNA, Ahrar al...

There is an interesting thread about mechanization of PA and how PA is largely an infantry force. Given the global climate, buying brand new equipment seems out of the question, so I thought of a few things that could perhaps be bought second hand. Here are a few: PA is looking for a 50 ton...

With US shutting out AH-1Z purchases, and the chronic lack of armed drones, PAA is facing a challenge in meeting contemporary capability needs. A handful of drones imported from abroad and some others that aren't able to be armed meaningfully leaves, the Pakistan Army Aviation can be revamped...

Got a job and working now in defence contracting. For so long dreamed of doing this. Really enjoying this job. Sorry haven't been around much. Just thought I would share. @MastanKhan @Signalian @denel

India has broken all its laws and commitments and is engaged in terrorising Kashmir's innocent population. Since India has already set the precedent of surgical strikes, Pak can now take advantage and engage in strikes against Indian occupation soldiers and police that are engaged in terrorism...

Pakistan is facing a major crisis. As our honorable Prime Minister, Imran Khan noted, the future is going to bring a fascist Indian state that has to be dealt with, otherwise they will become a bigger and bigger problem. India has a huge army, with 1.3 million active personnel, and a million...

There is a point when you either grow big, or you lose. Pakistan is facing threats from multiple axis, against enemies that are much bigger than her. We have India, with a massive landmass and population to the East. Afghanistan has become a constant source of enmity, terrorism and drugs. And...

Hi, I want to start this thread to look at a 1000 ton corvette for PN. Given that Azmat is 560 tons and the Damen boats will easily be 2000 tons, and Ada 2500 tons, there is a huge cap in tonnage, a giant hole in exactly the general purpose size suited for PN's A2D strategy. Questions: 1. Why...

In a conversation with @Signalian I was reminded of some work that I had been doing over the past 15 years off and on. Mainly idle thinking and daydreaming, and some written stuff. The basic idea that has been brewing in my head has been that military doctrine has mainly been imported from the...

Someone was kind enough to introduce me to Massiach's posts here on the Azm thread. I have actually spent from 8:30PM - 4:30 AM reading her posts. Often one liners, they were fascinating. While I am not from Pakistan, I can clearly see the point she is making. That it is vital for Pakistan to...
