I for one do not see an end to the Block 3. PAF logically will want most, if not all, its air-defense and strike a/c equipped with an AESA radar. There will be some retrofitting on the block 2 airframe but by and large, the force will keep on producing block 3 to replace older aircraft still in...

On a side note...is PN having difficulty transporting relieving naval personnel from surface routes.

This is waste of money. Could have ferried personnel in Naval coastal tankers that routinely ply between, Karachi, Ormara and Gawadar to support the vessels deployed there.

Must have been done after IAF bought C-130J's to enhance aircraft recognition.

I think Turkey has an edge over China and Russia. They have had more than a decade long exposure to working with and for western aircraft/engine manufacturers. That ensures relatively easier access to modern technology and production practices. Furthermore, Turk students can study certain...

I hope it will be used for the purpose it has been purchased for! Any sepcs?

They used to say about the Unimog; "If you can hold the wheel, it can climb a tree!!" Not popular for use in northern areas specially on the turn in high mountain roads. Extremely versatile in the desert with its unipolar independent chassis.

As far as I know, special steel products are produced at Peoples Steel Mill, Karachi. It is a different setup from Pakistan Steel Mills. Tungsten core for APFSDS rounds is one of the products being produced at People SM for Armored Corp.

Hmmm Gokdeniz is missing from the list of weapons!

Stop making lavish cantonments, residential colonies, and commercial ventures. Follow the Turkish example, where all three forces foundations invested in armaments, heavy engineering, technology, and ship building industries instead of cement, fertilizers, sugar, dairy, banking, insurance etc.

Now that is putting things in highly imaginative perspective.

Pakistan has always let the Saudis down from their perspective. The two Gulf wars and the Yemen expedition are cases in point. We were asked to provide support in the second Gulf war, we did not even as a token presence. That is one of the reasons, besides many others, that KSA is warming up...

"One ruler" that sums it all up!!!

We need to learn to stand on our own two feet. Searching for "Goldmines" has led us down this path that we are following now. In such arrangements, all participants bring something to the table. Turks are bringing technology, ability to R&D, trained and well-armed forces. Saudis off course...

"On Gora Orders" is also half truth!!!

Plus money from KSA for joint Turkish/KSA defense programs might further enhance the capability of Turkish armaments industry. This might benefit Pakistan in the long run.

If the upgrades add weight or hull is modified then there will be a degradation in speed and maneuverability. There can also be an issue with electrical power supply and back up power if the added equipment requires more power to operate. Generally, the main power plant and back up generators...

When a dialogue was going on between PTI & PDM, arresting IK smells of something else. Why arrest him now, at this juncture? Clearly ISPR statement after the arrest was adding fuel to fire.... Something smells fishy and I am not one to go for conspiracies!!! Also I feel that the sitting...
