What's new

8 Chinese submarines approval & used western subs talks

that is a huge order , but if govt approve the order , they must give them some dollars , cause nothing is free ...
PN need heavy modification to its fleet , as Gwader Port is been Operational , we need to have more Frigate and 1-2 heavy Destroyers with Good AAW capabilities .. a VLS system on our Frigate or DDG's in important , without a proper defense our Ships will not be much effective Against enemy CM and Fighters ...

and if we are up to buy a huge number of Subs, i would say , Buy 3 Chinese subs ,and 3 German or French ... and keep working on our own N-Sub for second strike Capability ..
There is no possibility for buying of German and French subs(if you mean scorpenes).
 
8 subs (Originally we're in negotiation for 6)

6 MPA's (Complete surprise)

4 Frigs ( old news just popped out of nowhere today)

..


Meanwhile Army just approved to buy MI-35s.
3 Z-10s also landed ( supposedly free )


..

Other major acquisitions this year 8 xCutter ships

90+ SH-1 SP guns.



The fk.

SH-1 SP is a pretty great addition to the army
 
8 From China maybe 1-2 each from UK France and Germany

no , that's too much for our requirement , we need to make a proper formation to counter IN carrier formation in future wars, Subs are effective but we need strong DDG's ...
West Tech mixed with Chinese can be a nightmare for IN.
 
90+ SH-1 SP guns.
deal was signed a few years back if i m not wrong and deliveries started in 2011
 
Increase in EEZ = More responsibility for the Navy.

Apart from Gwadar,Jinnah Naval Base Omara is also operational.

Exactly , their rivals have huge Naval Capabilities , its enough to disturb the sleep of PN ...
we need to signed some big deals in upcoming years ,
we also need a proper second strike Capabilities , and we cant underestimate our Enemy , here , they got more than us ..

There is no possibility for buying of German and French subs(if you mean scorpenes).

Its all about Money , you throw some Dollars and see Angela dance for you :D
you got cash , you can buy it ..

but uk dont have any ssks in service france wont sell them
only germany is left

Yup.. Being from a Gunner family .. I do appreciate SPG's n arty in general.. Unfortunately HIT has capped the production of Panter howitzers at around similar number (hope HIT guys are cooperating with Turkey to develop a lighter version of the gun).
 
Government Of Pakistan gave approval to buy 8 submarines from China....

Also Talks are with UK Germany and France to buy used Submarines....

Saw this on SAMAA News Channel....

What type of subs from China? And what type of used subs UK and Germany can sell specially when we already have Augusta-90B subs and can build more if required.
 
but uk dont have any ssks in service france wont sell them
only germany is left
Pak media isn't really considered reliable .. Only guys who actually know something about this stuff are far n few like Usman shabir.

It was hilarious to note that while Naval Officials were briefing on these matters and rescue operation in Yemen all the members of the comittee cared about was why were they not invited on 23rd march Parade.
 
Who said they weren't ? I saw a boat load of naval officers there .. Several 2 stars aswell as the chief of naval staff,Naval contingent,Marines with their hover crafts,UAVS,SSGN etc..
