Pakistan Army APC Inventory

Whatever we buy, I hope it comes with proper radio and comms equipment, one that can be used to send out distress signals to ask for backup.

Using an AA gun (25mm)? Or a HMG?

That I don't know.

That I don't know.

Was the gun held on a stand? Or was the guy firing it sitting on the gun he was firing? Was the Length of the gun double or triple the length of an outstretched hand?

Considering it's COIN specific acquisition, it will be limited in numbers and will deploy in hot zones.
By the way, The surplus stock of American MRAPs could have full filled this role at much cheaper and faster rate.

My issue is shape of this vehicle. Why we don't go for vehicles of these shapes

The one we are testing is basically wheeled APC not an MRAP. Plus the shape it has I think it would have slightly more difficulty to move in those areas.

Doesn’t HIT produce Dragon APC?
Wouldn’t the cheapest option be producing more Dragon APC in HIT since the APC needed is for COIN and Dragon APC can perform well against terrorists?

Dragoon project is a disaster. A poor decision which was primarily meant to fill up pockets in military and ministry of interior.

Are you organizing a cat walk for armored vehicles? Since when the 'beauty' became a criteria for armored vehicles? In military, if a vehicle is ugly, but gets the job done with in the economic brackets, then its the right vehicle.

How was Dragoon a disaster?

It's not a MRAP, it's basically a M113 on wheels, aka a death trap, can't stop an IED or a mine or anything. There's a reason US didn't deploy them in Afghanistan.

Not cat walk. But what I am saying is the BT 4 is not a MRAP but it falls in APC category. There is a reason MRAP are of different shape. It's not about looking beautiful it's about of being certain shape and features to move more easily in KPK and Baluchistan.
