Pakistan looks for helicopters, naval ships from Turkey

[Blue Marlin]

Hussain also said four ships would be built under the project, two of them in Turkey while two more in Pakistan’s Karachi province

Is the news of JF17 being considered by Turkey authentic? why would they consider it when they have state of the art jets?

 

[Muhammad Omar]

The saddest part about the Type 214 was that the German govt even cleared export credit for the deal. In addition, TKMS was hoping to expand the program to include the Type 210mod and MEKO (I heard both from someone who met TKMS people at IDEAS 2006).

And you remember what else was "90%" complete once upon a time? M2K-5 in the 1990s. Defence deals with Pakistan are like medieval era births, the closer you get, the higher the chance of infant fatality.

so, should we expect same fate for it. since govt. struggling on balance of payments and will have to turn to imf again..

Allocating big chunks of the budget for debt servicing goes back to Zia ul-Haq's time, so it's not new but purchases still went through when pursued. Zardari was just a special kind of corrupt.

 

[The SC]

so if true than helicopter deal almost done.

“It is in the pipeline…We have intention to procure this helicopter for Pakistan army.”

He added the process to procure the aircraft was “90 percent complete”, adding that proposals had been analyzed and financial aspects were being considered.

Construction will start only when the final signatures are concluded.

I recall the ill-fated Type 214 deal when officials were saying 90% or 95% complete. I hope nothing similar happens this time.

Was intended as a pun. Even if it wasnt it still cracked me up

Finally the Department of Navy is getting some well deserved attention. A complete makeover and a lond day at the spa was in order for the poor Navy.

If he would have been given 10%, PN would now have those boats..

Long list of naval purchases.

My dear when out air chief says it's better than the block 52 in three main areas then trust him. If this aircraft was not good turkey wouldn't consider it and Pakistan wouldn't induct it in numbers it would have bought the j10 etc. Additionally for it the be offered turkey must have shown interest and it's pilots must have flown it. This is a very capable fighter just because it's made in Pakistan and China doesn't make it inferior. Also remember it's the main aircraft that's patrolling our borders and the reason why margae 2000, mig29, MKI don't cross the border. Have faith in our engineers. They don't make square wheels like some

Bro i have full faith in our engineers.I am just curious if Turkey is considering it then there must have been involved ToT for self-reliance. Otherwise they have the kind of money and resources to buy off the shelf. They are already operating the likes of F 35.

Self reliance, barter trade etc. are the traits of the Prophet (PBUH). And, the current Muslim leadership in Turkey values these traits for they undrrstand the Bereket in them. Reis Erdo'an and many of his top colleagues are the graduates of the Imam Hatip High Schools (modern day Medrasa)...
