Why Pakistan Army Ignoring the importance of Proper Next gen IFV and APC'S

[TheSolution]

It was a shit hole. Also keeping your boots on at night to avoid camel spiders

How true is this?

Was every male a potential insurgent?

Are you seriously asking me this? After Checkpoint Blue25, every Afghan was a suspect. Everyone!

Afghanistan was a mess, there were good people. But anyone who says your arse didn’t pucker when you were on patrol and an Afghan wrapped in a chador went past you, is a fucking liar.

That place was a mess, I’d rather not talk about it. I did my part, for better or worse, it’s history now.

A mess Pakistan has to deal with permanently as it's next door

Pakistan had plenty of chances to be the anvil for the hammer. But decided to play a double game. I wish Pakistan well in their ear against the Taliban.

We need to follow the same approach the Russians have been following with their armor.

Al-Khalid-1 chassis should be adopted as a standard vehicle for multiple applications.

• AK based IFV (Engine moved to the front), with an integrated turret (Aselsan has numerous solutions) including 30mm chain cannon, 50cal secondary weapon mounted on a remote control platform, 7x62 weapon and conformal IIR guided ATGMs. It could be similar to KmW Puma, around 40t. It may have limited troop capacity and primarily used as a tip of the spear vehicle
• Heavy class APC with a 50c remotely operated weapon onboard based on the same chassis system. Primarily for troop carrying. It must include APS
• A specialist assault vehicle, similar to BMP-3 Terminator to operate in urban settings and to provide support to main armor thrust. No troop carrying capacity.
• A specialist NLOS ATGM carrier vehicle to engage enemy armor from standoff ranges
• A specialist vehicle for HQ-17 SAMs for prividing protection to armored formations
• Armored command node for C4I.
• Specialist vehicle to carry Fatah series guided MRLs. Tracked vehicle has obviously advantages over a regular wheeled truck
• Armored Recovery Vehicle
• Armored re-supply vehicle
• Armored battlefield ambulance
• Heavy de-mining vehicle
• Self Propelled 155mm catapult artillery vehicle

I can count several other applications. Point being, adopting a standard Al Khalid chassis and producing several types of different vehicles over it will not only drop the per unit cost due to economy of scale but would also help reduce lifecycle maintenance costs due to standardized spareparts, repairs and training.

Pakistan is one of those countries which will continue to face a credible mass casualty threat from land for decades to come. We should move to adopt a standardised chassis system for most future developments. The more of them we make, the cheaper they'd become.

Not to forget, if you can offer a "standard range" of armored products, it increases the export competitiveness.

Good idea

İFV are necessary needed for our brave troops
