Mini Carriers

Why can't PN replicate this?
Few years ago I talked about this and met with same argument that it's not possible.
Yet USN is going down this route and Turks were planning same.

Cause Pakistan doesn't have VTOL ( Vertical Takeoff and Landing Aircraft) and US is using F-35 for that purpose and Turkey is also getting F-35's

 

[Ahmet Pasha]

We can make VTOL variant of AZM or JFT maybe.

Maybe but the question is why would we need VTOL aircrafts? Our Enemy is sitting right next to us..

We need to think beyond the enemy next to us. This problem I have with our generals they need to prepare for enemies stronger which in turn would take care of those next to us as well.

 

[Ahmet Pasha]

Exactly.

So you won't have all your air assets destroyed or captured in one airbase. And what if the threat changes tomorrow to a different country??

Well our forces have a reputation of being defensive force not as offensive one. As you said Our Generals need to prepare for enemies stronger we still lack long range sams etc. Even China is not working on VTOL or are they??

 

[Ahmet Pasha]

Russia is. China will not stay far behind.

A defense force never wins a war - we need armored strike groups and units built around that. That’s the new warfare doctrine infantry backed by armor and long range weaponry. The other word “minimum deterrence” sick of hearing it, when you go to war they will bring everything to take you out not “minimum” cause you on “minimum” mode.

The thinking right now is that of a girl with a pretty face and anorexia body, you can't do much with that.

There is lot to discuss in regard to modernization of current PN fleet. Such kind of wishful and impractical discussions are merely downgrading our quality as well as being turning into troll fest. Furthermore, instead of posting such threads, we need to bring subjects that can be worked in view of available resources, diplomatic relations, fleet modernization, possible inductions or joint venture etc.
