PAKISTAN AND ITALY AGREE TO EXPLORE JOINT DEFENCE PRODUCTION

[Zarvan]

Pakistan needs to induct 4 to 6 FREMM Frigates but the version which France uses not the Italian one. France version has 32 VLS 16 for Cruise Missiles and 16 for Air Defense Missiles. As for other things I am expecting some Air Defense system deal.

SAMs
JF-17 Subsystems
New Tank Sub Systems
Radars
Small arms/G-3 Replacement (Approximately 1.25 Billion 4 Project)
May be even cooperation in Naval systems

There is a lot of potential even in realistic equipment (without bringing in the fantasy EFT, Mistral, FREMM etc )

CAMM-ER should attract our interest ...

SHOULD!
I wish. It will be a nasty compact power package really. Will help even our existing fleet as well as the incoming frigates. However, seems unlikely for now.

Welcome news.

We should do our best to cultivate meaningful relations with European countries in general. We should welcome them to invest in Pakistan on top.

European goods are high-tech and reliable on average.

We should? And how has it benefited us in the past? Other than bribes in defense deals , third rate tech help, strengthening of India and repression of Muslims in Euro countries?

Lengthening the Type 054A Pakistan is acquiring and adding 16 cells for the Aster 30 would be the best leverage both advanced European technology on the high end, Chinese tech on the high to medium end
integrating the subsystems (C4ISR and defense) will leverage all of the know how to make a formidable air defense frigate, which when the budget opens up can be lead to more frigate constructions in Karachi, at just the right size vs. capabilities for our needs. Turkish sub-systems can also be sought from the Milgem deal to integrate where it is better than the Chinese and the Italians.

Italy is one of the few European nations that Pakistan has the chance of building strong economic and military ties with, so I don't know why Pakistan continues to hesitate. With Italian-Indian relations at an all time low, Pakistan should be taking advantage of the situation.

PA already got following from Italy:
Oto Melara Mod 56 Artillery.
M-113 derivative APC.
Recently, M-109L.

It Ariete MBT, Dardo IFV and Centauro or Freccia where PA didnt't look.

Italy can be our gateway into European technology. Russian/Chinese tech is a separate line of defense and we need to work on it separately in my opinion.

Aeromachi were good in their time and are still good; K-8 is very much in the league of mb-326/339. The former we were building locally into over 180+units - Impala Mk1/MkII.
