If they have production facility in Karachi than we should jointly produce things for our Police and Armed Forces these things are far better than those Toyota Hilux our Police and Rangers and even Army use

currently striet group facility only convert vehicles into bullet proof stuff ... these vehicles assembly line have not been put in place yet
they imported 6 vehicles from canada to show .... and they have also plan to put assembly line in karachi

it's not an air show.

its multipurpose show
and to attract foreign clients aerobatics team performance is a great idea

Probably still under wraps. Presenting an armed drone is political suicide in Pakistan, the public would turn against you very quickly. It's like going to Japan and talking about Japan gaining nuclear weapons, you'd get your *** physically beat.

This is double standards and childish approach. They showed buraq UAV couple of months ago. What exactly are they hiding that people don't know? Drone strikes happen under army's approval. Those who are against these are terrorists supporting mullahs, we shouldn't care about them.

Is anyone buying the much hyped Azb POF EYE?

its practical for a very specific use only.....close quarter combat during hostage/terrorist type situations and environments....not many people 'need' it per se. The newer version im pretty impressed by though - especially ability to provide live video feed (to 5 viewers) from the view-finder...

2006 IDEAS Expo was by far one of the most succesful ones, maybe THE most succesful. MOUs have been signed for joint production of ammunition. Its not even always about exports. For example it was at a defence expo (IDEF, not IDEAS) where POF signed a deal with Swiss co-produce Oerlikon 35mm ammo. These arent just photo opps sessions, this is business. IDEAS is a platform to market the products and its worked very well and brought results - which can be seen.





not sure where you got these numbers from, but frankly - i dont see this as un-usual



Its cheaper to do something like a tank demo and walk-around AT HOME. Do you know how expensive it would be to set up trials and firing demos overseas? Takes time, a lot of resources and manpower and legalities/formalities to get that done!

Defence Attaches and Services Attaches and other staff at our embassies are the ones already at the doorsteps in those countries, its part of their job and DEPO job to help promote these products and promote arms exports...more so DEPO actually




disagree...if that were the case, why do other developing and developed countries host such expos

Oh Bhai Meray! MAJOR DEFENSE EXHIBITIONS around the world are gauged on the success scale for the number of announced agreements in Millions of US$!! Please do share for the sake of my ignorance on WHAT EXACT major success has IDEAS bought for the exports from or imports into Pakistan?

Secondly, all users test and try equipment in their home environment prior purchase and that includes demos etc. No one buys military equipment just because it looks shiny and new in an exhibition.

I am aware of the jobs of the attaches and DEPO! Both are utterly useless when it comes to military sales or marketing thereof! DEPO is a comfort zone of career-ending officers and defense attache are good only for doing mailman stuff for there respective HQ's.

IDEAS has lost its viability! Unless some drastic change is conceived by the organizers to attract genuine companies for display and also change the venue to perhaps to Islamabad, IDEAS will remain a waste of time unfortunately! Whether you agree or not!
