US and its defence equipment not reliable: defence production minister

[BHarwana]

LAHORE: Minister for Defence Production Rana Tanveer Hussain said on Sunday that defence equipment procured from the United States is unreliable.

Addressing an event at his Sheikhupura constituency on Sunday, Hussain said the US, too, is not a trustworthy partner.

He claimed further that the defence items purchased from the US do not work in times of need.

"Our defence production is increasing. The army’s 80 per cent needs are being met domestically," said the defence production minister, adding that Pakistan is among 6-7 countries of the world that make their own fighter aircraft.

Many years ago there a news where complaint was lodged, regarding helicopters operated by Pakistan were sending data back to the US! I can't recall the exact news but does anyone have the actual news?

@MastanKhan sb has been saying this for a while, how US equipment will fail at the time of need. Now the defense minister is saying the same thing which begs the question who is responsible for this treachery and why Pakistan specially the air force continues to procure equipment from the US?

Every weapon in the world fires politically.

They work when you want them to work.

I have always been against using American military equipment because they always come with strings attached.

Hi,

The US equipment will not fail---but work thru a controlled feed---.

American military equipment is the best in the world. The reliability issue is not of the equipment but rather its usage constraints put by the USA.

Data mining is a usual habit of uncle Sam.

If US equipment fails in our time of need, it will be extremely detrimental to the reliability of other equipment for other potential buyers..
