The Title of thread is misleading -- The primary player here is Zardari, for whatever reason:

In-camera briefing on buying French submarines demanded
Updated at: 2230 PST, Thursday, July 30, 2009
ISLAMABAD: The opposition party, Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) in the Upper House on Thursday demanded an in-camera briefing to the senators on the government plan to buy submarines from France instead of Germany.

Senator Jamal Leghari of the former ruling PML-Q while speaking on a point of order strongly opposed to government plan to buy submarines from France instead of Germany at a costly price.

He informed that Pakistan Navy had sent a summary to the President recommending buying submarines from Germany, but he regretted that the President rejected the summary and decided to purchase these from France.

He said that there would be one billion rupees loss to the national exchequer to go into agreement with France for purchasing the marines instead of Germany. He said that Germany has a latest technology and also a cheapest offer against the French old technology, which would also be costly. Therefore, he added that there was not need to undertake new agreement with France.

Pakistan had agreed to buy three Type 214 German submarines under deal worth more than $1 billion (773.7 million euros) that the two countries were expected to sign last year.

Leghari demanded an in-camera briefing of the Navel Chief to the Senate on buying the submarines saying that the House should betaken into confidence before going into any agreement with the French government.

Another senator of the PML-Q, Tariq Azeem also backed the demand saying that it was an important issue and the house should be taken on board in the in-camera briefing.

The presiding officer Tahir Hussain Mashadi, however, referred the matter to the Defence Committee of the House for further discussion, because of the absence of the minister concerned as well as Leader of the House at that time.


Pakistan's actual defence needs are now secondary, as they have always been under politicians, to the politiicans needs.

[Super Falcon]

[stromtrooper]

as far as i know german subs are superir to their french counterparts .

 

[stromtrooper]

the deal for type 214 should not be compromised it is a matter national security so these politician should not be allowed to ruin it

 

[stromtrooper]

this deal becomes more important because india is increasing it navy rapidly .she is in the process to build 2 new AC of vikrant class and has bought an AC from russia and now Arihant class n powered submarines i.e. its lead vessel INS arihant

 

[Super Falcon]

Dont worry NS wont do squat. He has only one agenda and that is to see Musharraf's neck hanging over the rope.

French and German are best combo....hope they won't sacrifice this best high tech combo. Which move learning curve in upwards. French and German are rivals in the field of defence and rarely share defence technology.

it is stucked now because of.................... zardari

Some times I wonder why a moron is given so much support, backing and privilege that he is able sabotage matters of deep National Interests and who backs him? Just political infrastructure? No Sir! If Pakistan has started to look towards France after Sir Zardari took over, there must be a complete mindset who find French Subs are better than German. And please do not point fingers at Zardari all the times, do not forget he has himself and 3 other kids to feed!
