Chinese Weapon Exports

Was there a point to not using these more expensive vessels for the Pakistan Navy instead? They would be incredibly potent against enemy ships if they were armed like our variants from China. Surely a paramilitary force like the Pakistan Maritime Security Agency has fewer needs for such a large ship.

PMSA is not a paramilitary force as it is not a "Fighting force" but more of a Policing agency; plz read

secondly its area of responsibility is stretched up to 840 NM from the shores for search & rescue Operations (as shown in the pic below) so 1500 tonnes MPV is suitable for the needs of PMSA

That was interesting to learn. Most countries have just one agency dealing with the policing of their oceans.

Thailand in US$68m deal to buy armored vehicles from China
By Reuters

BANGKOK – Thailand will buy 34 armored personnel carriers from China worth 2.3 billion baht (US$68million), the Southeast Asian nation's army chief said on Wednesday.

The purchase is the latest defense deal between Bangkok and Beijing amid warming ties since Thailand's military coup in 2014, when relations cooled with the United States, historically the country's major supplier of Western weapons.

"Buying from the West is a little hard…buying from China is better value for money," General Chalermchai Sitthisart told reporters, announcing that Thailand's cabinet had approved the purchase of the VN-1 carriers.

The choice of China was not a consequence of closer relations between the two countries, however, but the most cost-effective option, he added.

"The most important is the suitability for the needs of Thailand and the price," Chalermchai said, adding that Russia and Ukraine had also been in the running to supply the vehicles.

In April, Thailand approved the first of three planned submarine purchases from China in a deal worth a total of more than US$1 billion.

The Thai navy defended the decision following a barrage of public criticism over questions such as the suitability of the submarines and the need to buy the costly craft.

Thailand and China have also agreed to cooperate on building an 873-km railway project, as part of Beijing's regional infrastructure drive.

Delays and talks over loan terms and land development rights have held up the project, however, prompting Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha to say on Tuesday that he would make use of Article 44, a special security measure, to allow work to begin.
 
IDF buying mass-market DJI drones

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will equip the majority of its combat companies by the end of this year with small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) designed for the consumer and commercial markets, a senior military source has told Jane's.

"We are going with the most highly sold unmanned aerial systems, those produced by DJI," the source said. "We are buying the Mavic, their flagship product, and for more professional units we are buying the Matrice [100], which has better abilities, more time in the air, other kinds of cameras," the source said.

Most of the companies that will receive the systems will be infantry, although other types of ground forces units will receive them as well, the source added.

The Mavic only has a day camera, but it weighs just 743 g, folds up to make it highly portable, and can fly for up to 27 minutes. The more expensive and larger Matrice 100 quadcopter can be fitted with different payloads such as an infrared camera or an additional battery to extend its flight time to up to 40 minutes.

The source said the acquisition of the DJI quadcopters is a temporary measure until a small military UAV called the Tzur becomes available. Industry sources have toldJane's that the Tzur project has not as yet resulted in a contract being signed with a manufacturer.

The IDF source said the acquisition of commercial UAVs would provide clear operational advantages for forces in the field. "They will have the ability to get a high-quality picture from the air, as well as images from opposite angles," he stated. "The enemy was used to hiding behind a wall or a home. Suddenly, it is exposed from 360°."

"In the past, only planes and drones that are expensive and complicated to operate could provide images to the company level.

DJI should consider adding a unit to the company for military applications of their drones, and name it DJI Defense Systems.

India should consider buying them too, we can offer 'military spec' drones and then give their generals a cut. Win win for all

Not a bad idea... but indian armed forces are already using the Chinese commerical drones...they just don't talk about it... super power, you know!

Let no one be surprised when the Chinese commercial and military drones totally dominate the global market. Applications are truly limitless!
 
Philippine army also use mavic in recent war in marawi city, one of them was shot down by the terrorist fighters.
