Pakistan Army APC Inventory

[Cookie Monster]

We too learned it the hard way when our convoys were badly ambushed in FATA and SWAT. Since our troops mobility is dependent on unprotected vehicles mainly trucks, the casualties were outstanding. Those events resulted in the reconfiguration and development of new strategies including the introduction of mobile jammers to the battlefield, aerial protection and as you mentioned, dismounted troops. The Saudi battlefield is a lot different from ours and so they've to tailor their strategies as per their terrain, the type of enemy faced and the resources at hand.

Do u think it would be helpful to have technologies such as the mine detection vehicle(as shown in post 603), along with the mobile jammers(to disrupt IED remote detonation), a surveillance drone overhead, and something like this below...

...to immediately detect enemy locations when they fire?

If Pak Army convoys had situational awareness it would increase survivability...like for example as soon as they are fired upon...the boomerang like system would detect location. A drone like Shahpar overhead can start monitoring the area from where the convoy was fired upon. This footage being accessible to the soldiers inside the APC. So they can position themselves accordingly and take the appropriate action.
Or am I going too much based off the movies?

@PanzerKiel sir aap kuch bol hi dein...sirf react kiye ja rahay hain...woh bhi emojis ke saath. Ur insight would be much appreciated.

That's pretty good protection then

Not really, if it went off underneath the belly, as opposed to tyre/engine, things would be much different.
Most explosives we've faced are IEDs which go off right underneath the vehicle.

These passive sensors, along with WAMI are game changers in and play a huge role in establishing a "security grid".

Add 1 more thing to it. Excess of luxury in their lives. Very junior NCOs own big SUVs there Japanese, American you name it. IPhones seem to be standard issued there

Contrary to that, our NCO thinks is jeenay se to marna hi behtr he. Shaheed huy to compensation money se family status barh jyga r bchay ki job b LG jygi

More than a dozen Maxx Pros received from Afghanistan since yesterday.
Looks like PA is buying back most of the American MRAPs from Taliban.

Quite some news, could mean that the forces are looking into buying other Left-behind equipment from Afghanistan too. They’re probably getting it pretty cheap as well. A little late for all the people crying about MRAPs but better late than never.

I remember a fairly large number of them were being transported near pindi. Thought they were the old ones bought in 2014ish

These pictures are of a new batch brought in from Afghanistan. I saw some being transported in Rawalpindi today as well.

Are they just buying maxx pros or Humvees too?

Humvees are not useful, why would we buy them?

 

[Sayfullah]

Humvees are not useful, why would we buy them?

Their better than the pickup trucks we use right now. Buying them from Taliban we would get them for cheaper than a new pickup truck would cost and it offers at least some protection. Also up armoured Humvees are almost as armoured as mraps and Taliban have those too.

Even decommissioned Helicopters are good pieces to buy for research and reverse engineering

Humvee is probably same as an APC mohafiz built on a Toyota Land Cruiser 72

Humvees offer no small arms protection at all, let alone IED protection.
They were never made to be armored trucks, up-armored ones provide some protection against small arms only where the armor coverage is present.

But these machines are also old, slow and have tons of mechanical and reliability issues that only countries with proper supply lines set up for them can deal with, something us with no prior use and no direct sales from the US do not have. I agree that anything is better than a hilux, but even if they’re cheap. That money is better spent elsewhere, hopefully buying proper Armored vehicles for the forces.

Less, the normal Humvee has Absolutely no armor at all, people think it was designed to be armored or something. The body is made out of fiberglass to save weight. It’s durable yes, but won’t stop a bullet.
