Styer-Aug,MG-3P,G-3A4,AK-74,RPG-7-Minime-Glock-17,JetSkis,Uqaab UAVs,Hover Crafts etc

They also use M-4s.

They also use M-4s.

I don't think i will take an M-4 even a kilometer close to the sea

Not Hovercrafts,but ambhibious ships,like a transport dock/tank landing ships,
like these:

We don't need them. yet!

Other than these three marine battalions, does Pakistan have any other amphibious assault formations? (I don't mean the SSG-N). What is the biggest sized amphibious formation Pakistan can field? Also, what is the need for marines to defend Gwadar port, when it is part of Pakistan's mainland? Wouldn't regular army troops be just as effective, and cheaper to train and maintain?

In short marines are multi dimensional and part of PN not of PA and can be used for many other operations to support PN and plans are to raise a brigade till 2015 so other battalions are also expected in that time.....

Simply PN Marines are not soo much in numbers to operate them and use them effectively.....
and basically Marines are to defend land assets and to carry operations in low level water....
for deep water there is SSG(N) and Maritime Security Agency......

 

[TOPGUN]

Our navy has a think a few landing crafts if iam not mistaken...

Aeronaut Jee,

so I was right in assuming PN do not operate that kinda ships.
Any plans to have'em in future?
Anyway good luck and godspeed to these gentlemen who are there to give away their lives for their country!

Just 3 battalions? How many LCA's does PN operate? I mean what are the amphibious capabilities of PN?

Aeronaut Jee,

What is the difference between SSG(N) and Marines ?

Marines to safeguard naval assests and to help Navy in operations in costal areas and in low water.
while SSG(N) special Naval operations like to attack any hostile ship etc and used for sea-air-land
incursion, counter-terrorism,
naval intelligence gathering,
hostage rescue, and boarding..SSG(N) can operate under water and also used to gather intelligence by using Midget submarines...
