Pakistani Turkish Defense Ties Continue to Deepen

That would take a decade maybe. Here's a better option mate.
In 2020, significant amount of F-35 fighter jets will be operational. Which means that the Air Force will decommission many of F-16s. 24 of them are Block 40 LANTIRN whom they'll be the first Vipers to be taken out of service. Logically, I don't see anyone but Pakistan that the government will think to transfer.

You dont think Pakistan would opt for newer Chinese fighter jets or further develope the JF-17(block III,IV,V,VI?) to be on par with other 4.5 gen fighter jets by 2020?

Turkey can provide almost everything Pakistan needs at Naval sector. We have a strategic ongoing project called TF-2000 that is designed to provide impressive air defence coverage against all type of aerial threats including a level of ballistic missiles thanks to onboard huge radar and missiles systems. A mutual partnership with Pakistan as a similar model of Franch/Italy on FREMM, could be awesome.

If Pakistani officials wants to construct more conventional frigate than TF-2000, Turkey's Istanbul class 110m frigate design is ready for production. Turkey will produce four Istanbul class 110m frigates.

If required smaller than Istanbul class, Milgem corvettes (99m) + ToT have already been offered to Pakistan.

the brotherhood between Pakistan and Turkiye is time-tested, and unshakeable

About Naval subsystems, Turkey has capability of providing state of art sensors to ally countries. Many of them are being developed step by step and replacing foreign equivalent on every new produced domestic warships.

Weapon systems,
- Very Short Range surface to air missile (In near future)
- Hisar-A Short range surface to air missile
- Hisar-O Medium range surface to air missile
- Korkut-D 35mm twin barrel Close in Weapon System
- Atmaca Anti-ship Missile
- Akya Torpedoes
- Stabilized gun family
- Mizrak-D

Sensors
- AKR-D Fire control radar
- MAR-D Search radar
- CAFRAD APAR radar (on development)
- Sonar systems
- Torpedo defence system sensors called Aselsan Hizir
- Different type of Torpedo decoys
- Onboard Electro-optic systems
- Electronic Attack/Support Sensors
- Satellite communication systems

@Neptune - can you pls update the details about MRTP 65 ?

As far as I know, MRTP 65 isn't proposed yet, technically it does not even exist. Maybe Ares Shipyards Co. will offer that in Navy's Turkish Type Assault Boat Tender.

@cabatli_53 am I right bro?

Considering the 5th gen fighter developments of PLAAF and the budget constraints of Pakistan, I believe they will fly vipers till 2026 wards. Though Block 50s will make it till that date since we maintain them well.

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

Vipers and JF-17 Thunders will make the backbone of the air force (combat aircrafts) - i certainly see 2-3 squadrons of J-31 stealth aircraft in the longer run

As a result, Aselsan has supplied sighting and other sub-systems for Pakistan's Al-Zarrar/upgraded Type-59 tanks and Ukrainian-supplied T-80UD, and transferred radio design and manufacture technology.

He said it was possible Aselsan could supply technology developed for Turkey's Leopard II upgrade and Altay tank programs for Pakistan's Al-Khalid, but claimed Aselsan had not yet been contacted in this regard.

HIT officials say a key item sought for the Al-Khalid is a third generation thermal imaging sight such as the Altay's.

Analyst Usman Shabbir of the Pakistan Military Consortium think tank said that since the French Al Khalid sight is too expensive, and the Franco-Pakistani defense relationship has deteriorated, Turkey is a viable alternative supplier.

He believes there may be further benefits in deepening the Pakistani-Turkish defense relationship that could allow export of the Al-Khalid, hitherto prevented by high foreign sub-systems content.

Indigenization of sub-systems and others from Turkey will potentially change this.

"I don't see any issue with exporting Al-Khalid with Turkish sub-systems as we are not competing for the same market, and Pak/Turkish relations are also deep and very well established," he said.

Yes Bro, MRTP-65 isn't proposed yet.
MRTP-42 is What Yonca-Onuk JV proposed as one of the biggest one until now.

MRTP-34 is constructed as the biggest one of MRTP family until now.

Altay and Atak!

Atak possible but i dont think you need the Altay(Al-Khalid I,II).

There is always room brother for that monster. In numbers around the several hundred mark it would act as a great force multiplier for our large armoured formations.

On a more broad level, there are so many fields we can team up together. I was looking so forward to naval developments, but things seem to be on a back burner for both of us.

 

[PakArmyFTW]

Wow! A lot of cooperation going on; really nice! I hope relations continue to strengthen. Also hope PAF gets some new and more attack choppers for the ongoing operation--Zarb-e-Azb--and those T-129s look sweet

Is the Altay still in evaluation phase or its in mass production mode.?

Trial phase for acceptance before serial production order. If Turkish army gives green light, Serial production will commence...
