Russian supply chain is very slow unfortunately, p

Russians hardly meet the timeline for new orders once they are placed.

Moreover...just to give an example....you take two Mi17s standing in front of you. You go inside the cockpit and you'll be surprised that an XYX component placed in ABC location in one heli, will be placed in some other location in the other heli....thats the level of workmanship in Russian machines.......

but the maintenance speed of Russians is exemplary.....they hardly take a week to completely dis-assemble a heli, overhaul it, put it back together, and get it ready to fly again.....3-7 days....
 
Probably drink vodka during lunch breaks. They go running when they are too drunk to sweat out the alcohol.

ISLAMABAD: Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa and billionaire cum philanthropist Bill Gates held a telephonic conversation on Wednesday, said the army’s media wing.

According to the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), Gates and General Bajwa discussed the polio eradication drive in Pakistan. “Bill Gates appreciated Pakistan Army’s help in enabling the polio campaign through provision of security, monitoring and bridging of capacity gaps.”

The army chief termed it a national duty in which the army played a significant part in implementing initiatives undertaken by the government of Pakistan and provincial health departments. “The healthcare workers who played the most important part in polio drives also acted as the frontline defence against Covid-19,” General Qamar said.

“Despite the Covid-19 crisis, Pakistan Army is supporting the government’s efforts and has already made preparations to restart the anti-polio campaign in coming weeks.”

The military’s media wing further added that challenges pertaining to the current and future pandemic threats were also discussed apart from efforts to enhance the resilience of population through education, flexible healthcare management and use of technology.

COAS also thanked Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s efforts towards the noble cause and said every initiative was aimed at the betterment of Pakistan and its people will be fully supported and appreciated.

Since the US is leaving Afghanistan and taking back a lot of their equipment all the way is more costly than a lot of the equipment itself, this is the time to buy, either with CSF or even with hard cash as much of the US equipment as possible.

I would suggest that the procurement guys in the PA not to take their eye of the ball here. Some things that can be bought:

1. At least 5000 MRAPS / Wheeled APCs
2. Artillery of any kind possible, from heavy mortars to howitzers
3. Utility helicopters, if any are available (from Mi-17s to absolutely anything they will sell)
4. Body armour, NVGs
5. Base logistics and paraphernalia. Container bases.
6. Counter battery radars
7. Mine countermeasures vehicles
8. Heavy machine guns
9. Light attack aircraft (US is flying prop light attack aircraft in AFG)


Buy everything possible, there won't be another opportunity like this one.
