Why is Pakistan spending so much money on defence amid COVID-19?

She wants accountability of Pakistan Armed Forces and the budget allocated to them. Well, there are clandestine missions that cannot be disclosed to the trustworthy politicians who keep coming and going into parliament. Blunder was made back when Benazir Bhutto was made privy to a cause that she gave a serious blow to by handing over sensitive information to India.

Other than that, Ayesha Siddiqua has asked to improvise with the locally made Al-Khaled tanks instead of importing from China. I would like to know which cellphone she has been using these days and how many has she replaced ever since she started using these mobile phones and the reasons why she chose to change them. If she can answer this, she will get her answer. And btw, weapons and machines are not as cheap as a cellphone. Pakistan Armed Forces are still improvising with old machines just because there is not enough budget to replace them.

Additionally, she has been living in a bubble of security created by nuclear weapons that since we have those, there is no need to worry because that is a deterrence to any aggressor. Well, she clearly lacks understanding of the dynamics of warfare. It has been manifesting itself in many shapes and states still attack one another even when you have these nukes. Kargil War and the last year`s Feb month are testimonials to these facts, let alone the proxies who have been challenging Pakistan`s sovereignty and the soft power employed against Pakistan.

Security is a multifaceted affair now in the face of all these challenges.

India's economy is way bigger than that of Pakistan. India's defence budget alone is more than Pakistan's entire economy.

I have no issues with Pakistan spending huge sums of money on defence but the thing is unlike India, Pakistan is not being able to expand its economy drastically.

Its a fraction of what india spends but the fact it gives u sleepless nights show how pathetic indian forces are. Whats use of big economy n big defence budget when u act like a puppy infront of china.

Why is this even a question? Have people not been reading the news in the past few days/weeks? Pakistan spends so much on defence because we have a hostile neighbour to our East and a unstable neighbour to our West. Simple!

Just to keep this amount in perspective, it is only a little more than what the budget of the NYPD is, for one city, for its police.

(I would say it represents perhaps one of the best values for money on the entire planet.)
