Pakistan’s forecast shows a USD12 billion market value over the forecast period and a 3.8% CAGR. The Talha APC tops the programmes with a USD1.1 billion forecast, followed by the Al Khalid II at USD1 billion. The Maaz APC (USD842 million) rounds out the top programmes.

Other programmes include the HQ-7B short-range SAM vehicle (USD222 million), Al Zarar MBT upgrade (USD50 million) and LY-80 medium-range SAM vehicle (USD17 million). Opportunities exist for a self-propelled mortar (USD1.5 billion), an APC (USD1.1 billion) and a SPH for USD844 million.

Pakistan continues to struggle with its economy, expecting to grow just over 3.5% in the next five years. However, defence spending has increased from 2.3% of GDP to 2.54% and local industry is struggling, remaining largely dependent on licensed production by public owned organisations with no significant R&D.

Pakistan announces austerity-driven defence budget

The Government of Pakistan has announced a 2019–20 defence budget of PKR1.15 trillion (USD7.6 billion), a 1.3% increase over the revised military expenditure in 2018–19.

The new defence budget – announced on 11 June – amounts to about 16% of total government expenditure for the year and about 3% of GDP.

However, the lack of growth in the allocation was attributed by the government to “austerity measures”, a reflection of the continuing fiscal challenges facing the South Asian country.

Budgetary documents released by the Ministry of Finance show that the bulk of defence spending in 2019–20 will be allocated to “employee-related expenses”, which receives PKR450.4 billion, a 5.5% increase against the revised budget for 2018–19.

This means more mechanised formations could be forming up. Also more heavy anti tank regiments and T-59 upgraded to AZ standards so no APC/IFV conversion for them .

That's all well and good but how is the indigenous MRAP program going???
Or are we again going to ditch indigenous R&D for Korean copycat crap??

Russian MRAPS are a new option too

 

[Ahmet Pasha]

Turkish ejder yalcin and the like are much better options if you ask me.

The russians with their taifun/typhoon are using same idea as Hamza MCV family i.e make a truck into an mrap like Hamza 6x6.

Russian MRAPS are a new option too

"British soldiers from the Royal Sussex Regiment man a hilltop position, probably on the Khyber Front. Their unit was part of Brigadier-General Christian's 6th Brigade and engaged in operations against the Afridi's who had taken advantage of the 3rd Afghan War (1919) to launch attacks on British convoys. The soldiers' equipment includes several Mance heliographs. This instrument was a small mirror mounted on a tripod, that worked by reflecting sunlight in order to flash messages in Morse code.

Is there any Official interest shown by Pakistan Army ?

Pakistan has apparently provided a shopping list to the Russians, but the response has been slow in return.
