Excellent. China and Pakistan need to help Maldives as much as they can. Indian terror influence needs to be destroyed.

Good move!!!

Pakistan's own landing craft are very small.
So I am sure Maldives ones will also be of same small size.

Anyways I doubt the offer will be implemented as Yameen is all set to loose the elections in September to pro India anti Yameen-joint opposition candidate as per every opinion poll.

Indian media polls? I'm sure they're very impartial.

Change those Polls in to poles and shove them up your stinky indian arse. People of Maldives will decide who they choose and no one in Maldives wants to become another Bangladesh

Lets arm them to teeth, so they could get out of evil clutches which is hell bent on destabilizing the region. Pakistan and China need to play a pro-active role and help the current government financially and more importantly with military.

How many landing craft does PN have and are there any more planned further ?

 

[khanasifm]

A set of x were built in early mid 2000 time frame and now a set of 3-4 added again I think

From the pic it’s hard to tell size / dimension but safe to say transport a platoon to a company size along a few vehicles ??

 

[WarKa DaNG]

Even That is more than enough for a start

 

[I S I]

& i thought that we don't even have a landing craft for our self.

Looking at the size of the Maldives formation, the size of landing craft to be provided is perfect.
