Pakistan increasing Army Size ???

[Irfan Baloch]

When answering questions if I am right Maj General Asif Ghafoor said that Pakistan is raising new troops. I think both Army and Para Military size is being increased.

no

it was only regarding the forces raised for CPEC and border petrol. which were announced already the raising of light commando force is already part of this "new" force.

Increasing size of army would reduce the quality of fighting force.

China USA india are reducing their army sizes for a better quality force.

You in pakistan alrrady have a superior fighting force. Why compromise that for quantity instead of quality?

Also even though indian army on paper seems very big but china india border is bigger than pakistan india border.

Even if 50% army is on chinese border that makes indian army equal size of pakistan army on pakistan india border.

If chinese activate their border force india would need atleast 60 to 70% force on chinese border.

India aint got shit!

Pakistan has 2-3 tiers of quality of training and equipment imparted to troops, so the categorization is already in place unlike USA, can't say about China. PA has regular troops, National Guard and then FC/Rangers. Training institutions could be shared but training doctrines and courses could be different. The training method and duration is same for one arm, courses could be different e.g. Artillery. But that doesn't mean standards are different for same arm. Its not like some units of artillery are better trained while others are not. Same for infantry, armor, air defence etc.

Pakistan has increased size in Light forces like Commando and Para military, both for different purpose. Training standard is maintained for respective force.

More ammo, more armored, more artillery, more gunships, more jets etc. Security of existing Equipment and resources. And lesser increase in number of men. Already, there are a lot of FC, Rangers their. Through more training, they can be used effectively in case of war.

To make an impact on any war, increase the size of Air Force. The support from Air Force for ground and naval forces will increase chances of successful operations.

An armored brigade(90 MBT, 50 APC, 18 SP Guns and 18 SP AD pieces) attacking enemy with 90 MBT, 50 APC, 18 SP Guns and 18 SP AD pieces will have more chances of success and losses will minimise, if 4-6 strike aircraft join in this attack on enemy and take out atleast 15-25% of enemy force.

Same for navy.
