Rs900 billion defence budget 2016-17 will mean 2.6% of Pakistan GDP. Pak GDP 2016-17 Rs 34.801 trillion ($332 billion).

$9 billion increase ? Normally this does not include military pensions or other services .

Great news regardless. Education,health and other socialist stuff can wait.

That's why we are a third world country and always will be.

 

[Alpha BeeTee]

Is 9 billion an increase or total pak defence budget?

Total.

Your link is saying 34.801 is projected from 30.672, thats a huge jump of about 15%. :O

Nops South Korea is ahead of Pakistan. Currently Pakistan is In 7th in Manpower, and 13th in overall

So, 8 F-16s are coming

F-16 will only come if US provides the funding for them. If PAF has to spend money, then there are many other options available. The problem is not that US does not want to sell F-16 to Pakistan but they are not sponsoring its purchase as per the agreement between the two states.

in 2015 GDP was 270 billion, according to IMF. so 7.52 billion(budget for 2015-2016) is actually 2.78% of the economy. the GDP for 2016 is yet to be calculated.

Their army is conscription based.....You do realise Pakistan's 600,000 plus are all career soldiers right?

Conscription based army is pretty common in areas where population is low. I just quoted the numbers sir, which at the end of the day is what matters. Isnt it?

 

[Baidar Bakht]

I have quoted you as per Global firepower numbers, which is of 2016 update. SSD raising will change the number or not, that I have no idea. Anyways good for you guys. Btw is % increased on GDP?

Global Firepower did not updated every category eg. look at their list on tanks it is from 2014. They just changed their calculation system and ranked countries according to the data that they have.
That is why, Global Firepower is not a good source.

 

[Hurter]

At least $15-$20 billion should be our DB.

 

[IceBreaker]

Global fire power is not valid source ......

Genesis World Records 2015 quoted Global Fire Power

 

[Super Falcon]

T

After raising SSD Pakistan is slightly ahead of South Korea in shear numbers of active troops in Military.......

pu bro let it go he might be in dreams

Time to forget F 16 buy 36 SU 35
4-new type 55 ddg
We need naval surface fleet to increase
Milegam corvetes should be bought to on yearly instalments

 

[singlefighter]

We have to give some credit to govt that they understand the problems which military faces in the current senario
