COAS Gen Bajwa intends to cut army strength of 5,38,000 substantially over next 5 years

[Solidify]

Focus will be on cyber and firepower! Number of soldiers are sitting ducks in next gen warfare.

This Is India they're not your average enemy, they always think OUT of the BOX

The next step would be to setup a national guard to fill in the loopholes.

Exactly! We need to cut down on regular army and reform the role of the NG, so that they are not just a reserve force and train periodically. Ideally our NG should consist of retiring soldiers, who are given 5 year contracts, 2-3 weeks training and mobilisation every quarter.

Ideally, we should have regular troops of 400K max. Also the airforce needs more combat aircrafts, the current 2.5 pilot to aircraft ratio is too high should be 2, as that would maximum utility for a total of around 480 combat aircraft.

Don't be complacent, they have way more funding and manpower

Limited skirmishes are very different to all out war

No comments Army/Airforce and Navy are doing great in last 20 years their planning has been impeccable

Military :

• Induction of New Tank
• New Missiles MIRV
• Strategic Units
• UAV Fleet Setup
• SAM Network ( Multi Tier )

Airforce: JF17 Block 1 , Block 2 , Block 2B , Block III and now J10P

Navy: 20 Surface Ship and 10+ Submarine fleet , New Choppers, Anti Sub

If the ground Unit Vehicles are improved to Armored vehicles it would be great

Pakistan should explore

• Active Soldier Status
• Reserve Soldier Status

But Defense Think Tank has done exceptional in last 20 years

The foot soldier is a vital part of Military

However in Pakistan Large % of population is not active in Sports and Tough physical fitness sports , having Active Status soldiers at least gives you a fully trained fit soldier


Population to Soldier Ratio Count : 0.002 % which is quite modest

We have not even mobilized 1% of our population

@PanzerKiel

@TNT he's right on this one if he truly intends to increase the mobility and fire power wrt to rockets, air , naval and cyber domain ------ As for the boots on ground issue , Pakistani nation is armed to the teeth and they just need a military guy among them to channelize their full potential

Finally we are going in right direction.

The world is heading towards a direction where fighter jets will be fully automatic. So maybe a day comes lets say after 20 years when a GDP branch in PAF will not be required.

The standing army of India is 1.4 million professional men, and he wants to cut things down....

Leave aside fighting a war the army is the only organisation able to fight natural disasters, deliver aid, ensure total security etc. No amount of technology can make up for boots on the ground for this.
He hasn't got long in the job I hope this doesn't come to pass.

Pakistan Military Size 1960-2024

Armed forces personnel are active duty military personnel, including paramilitary forces if the training, organization, equipment, and control suggest they may be used to support or replace regular military forces.

That when we are also faced with manpower intensive sub conventional warfare.

Pak certainly need to invest more in cyber warfare.
I'm impressed with Rescue 1122 hope their capacity rapidly increase.

That 1.4 million is exactly why they are underequipped, underfed and undertrained. All modern armies have movies towards downsizing to increase capability, equipment and technology, including the largest standing army in the world; China. India has also been downsizing for the same reason, it’s high time Pakistan follows the trend.

The average Pakistani soldier can be much better equipped if there’s less of them. Yes we do need to keep Our reserves up, for both war and natural disasters and such. for that we need a different sort of reserve training and maintenance program, but the active army definitely needs to be made smaller.

Yep two insurgencies, both which have depleted manpower.Shocking to be honest.

 

[PakistaniFirst]

Good move if true. Army needs to downsize substantially to manage its funds and equipment better. A smaller, better trained, better armed force is much more useful in today’s conflict scenarios where an all out war is much less likely than a smaller, contained conflict in a selected area. We don’t need the forces to be as big anymore as we need them to be technologically and tactically prepared.

Army needs modern equipment but there is no need for downsizing. India is on war path and here we are thinking about down sizing wtf!
