Major defence budget increase!

[Hamza913]

This is indicative of Pakistan's desire for war in the region.

Military aid to Afghanistan from all over the world should be enhanced in light of this so that Pakistan's desire of hegemony over Afghanistan is never realized.

India spends almost 40 billion dollars on defence. That's more than 4 times as much as Pakistan.

Who has the desire for war in the region again?

Your GDP is very small around 280 billion USD.
So 9 billion defence budget is more then 3% also debt of 70 billion is also huge compare to GDP.

 

[PaklovesTurkiye]

India spends around 1.65% of its GDP for defense. Its one of the lowest globally. Pakistan spends close to 3%. That is the point. And this increase in Pakistan's expense shows it wants instability in South and South West Asia.

How do you know that "close to 3%" defense budget all goes for procurement placed at your border. We are also fighting WOT so thats why we need more money to fight against terrorists.

And as far as instability is concerned, the less India talks about it, the better......

Well when you live next to a country that wants to destroy you (India), you tend to spend a higher percentage of your income on defence.

If India was not so aggressive, there would be peace.

India has:

Started 2 wars with Pakistan (and tried to start 2 more).

Frequently breaks ceasefires along the LOC.

Supports militants in Pakistan (also started doing this LONG before Pakistan did).

Created nuclear weapons and thus started a nuclear arms race with Pakistan (and then complained when Pakistan got nukes).

Elected a genocidal and racist leader (along with an extremist party that HATES Pakistan).

Accuses Pakistan of genocides that never happened (or are grossly exagerated) whilst ignoring their own war crimes.

Percentage means Jack all.

Boss you have some serious issue,Please be calm.
You increase the percentage by 3% to 5% least we care.
Only replying to your point that our defence budget is very high.

 

[IceCold]

Makes no difference. As of now, India doesn't have the capability to destroy all Pakistani land based nuclear weapons in a first strike. So the need of a second strike vis-a-vis India is moot.

Where we are investing is ABM research which will yield results in decades to come...which is secular in how it will erode Pakistan's nuclear strike capability whether from land or from sea.

You expect us to sit and wait on big IF whether India can or cannot destroy Pakistan land based nuclear weapons? Dont you think that point would have been more valid for India considering your bigger size vis-a-vis Pakistan but you did chose to go for a 2nd strike capability so the point is not at all moot.

Secondly the threat to Pakistan's existence is not just from India but from US as well specially when it comes to nukes and considering US history to be the only country using nukes on a non nuclear nation, it is very much a possibility of US pre-emptive nuclear strike on Pakistan to take out our nukes. A 2nd strike capability would ensure that in such a scenario Pakistan can hit back towards all the US bases in the region if not directly to US main land.

I am calm, and I have no issues, unlike some people.

I see what you did there.....

 

[Bugsy Boy]

Between navy and PAF and we have to invest more in PAF simply because we dont need a huge navy to defend Gawade Port.As for if it comes to a war with India,most of the war will take place on land since both countries share a long border with each other.We have good amount of Frigates and a few subs . That being said a nuclear capable sub is mouth watering too.

 

[RoadRunner401]

PN is getting the biggest chunk, the rest will be for the latter.

Please, for the love of God stop feeding the Troll.

It is because since the last 5 years, India's military actions are not at all geared towards Pakistan. We know that Pakistan does not have the military capability to finish India's nuclear assets in a first strike. Neither will Pakistan ever have this capability. This is not a boast, simply an assessment based on Pakistan's military resources and our own and the rate at which they are growing.

Ergo any new development - like SSBN's or ICBM's are not meant for Pakistan in any way possible. They are meant solely for the great powers.

The development of an SSBN or lack thereof does not in any conceivable practical way affect Pakistan or its military posture. We always had second strike against Pakistan on the basis of our land and air deployed nukes just like Pakistan has second strike against India.

The brouhaha in Pakistan over India's SSBN is just that...noise. It stems from Pakistan's desire to "match India" rather than any practical assessment of need or target.

Why was there a need for India to develop a 2nd strike capability for great powers? When was the last time India was threaten to be bombed back to stone age by any power?
On the contrary the great powers are fully supporting India bid and with China you have a trade volume big enough for anyone to think about war. The only problem India has is with Pakistan, rest is all noise. Point being India still has developed a triad even if that is for great powers and not us and so will Pakistan. Like I said unlike India who has never been threaten by a great power we on the other hand are by one in particular and while India may or may not have the capability to destroy our land based assets US does.

I don't see him replying, talk strictly enough with them, and they'll lose interest and walk away.

Yes that's because he is trolling.
