Pakistan Armed Forces - News & Discussions

IA should not fall back for this tactics. Modern tanks can be easily taken down by attack helicopters & atgms. Induct Apache ss more, LCH, Namica to counter this.
Lastly not least, VT4 for is a better tank than T90 asper specs.

They won't fall back obviously. But it means Pakistan will achieve some forms of parity before long, most likely with China paying for it.

Fully agrees with him. Tanks are of yester years warfighting machines.

The exact opposite of what we should do. Whatever he says, do the opposite.

Before doing that, we should analyses the situation. I feel Tanks & tank warfare is outdated in this age.

Always look at what global powers are doing instead of merely what people are saying.

Right now the Russians are introducing a new generation of tank. And the French-Germans have also begun work on a new gen tank. The Americans are now even equipping their infantry with tanks. The Chinese have not just introduced new tanks, but have also mechanised or motorised their entire army.

So you want to sit out of all that? What's your plan, walk to the battlefield like the armies of the Colonial era?

Plenty of people say tanks are outdated or obsolete, but they are all either people who do not know what they are saying or are people with an agenda.

Look at this article for example:

Basically saying it's a bad idea to go for large carriers in the future. They are basically attempting to kickstart such a debate in countries like India, China, Russia etc in order to prevent them from going for large carriers as well, or at least delay them until 2026-27, when the US has "apparently" made a decision. Very, very conniving some people are.

The thing about tanks is, only a tank can reliably defeat another tank. All other types of anti-tank systems require specific conditions to be met before they can be used. And even with all the advances made in the field of aviation, there is still nothing in the world today that can match the stopping power of a tank. And now, those same advances made in the field of aviation are now being deployed in tanks as well, like advanced cockpit, radar, anti-missile defences etc.

After this crisis it is 100% possibility that China will fund the Pakistan military modernisation. Time is running out for us very fast.

Good news friends. Gafool is back & promoted to entertain us. More importantly he's alive after that horrible accident his car had with a cow & apparently his lungs were punctured, was pretty serious too & rushed to Saudi of all places to be healed post which news about him was scarce.

It's only you guys remembering him, his sister & mother constantly which revived him thanks to constant hiccups. Hence, he keeps repeating those words - dua mein yaad rakhna.

Trump jaate jaate Drones ki waywatha kar gaya hai, aur sirf 4 terrorists ke marne ke baad PMO ne meeting li thi NSA ki, shayad koi plot uncover hua hai. Ye promotion usi plot se related hai shayad.
 

Question of the day - which Chinese system is this a paint job of maamu? @safriz
Not too sure.
The R&D was ongoing for a few years. Now and again we used to hear about an MLRS in the works.
However it is entirely possible that that rocket motor is A-100 MLRS knock off , and the guidance system and warhead is indigenous.

Video is not clear enough to reach any such conclusions.

Its clearly A-100
 
You have Eyes of Nasir.
Anyway (unguided)MRLS is the logical first step towards designing something for a design house. Its entirely possible that it is designed within Pak
This is not some MRLS, its BM-30 Smerch clone which we are still importing.

They even got ToT for it.

The long rumored sale of the A-100 300mm MRL system to Pakistan was confirmed during the 2010 Azm-e-Nau-3 exercise. According to UPI Asia Online on 25 September 2008 reported that Pakistan purchased from the China A-100 long-range rockets. Pakistani military industry sources, Pakistan last year with China Precision Machinery Import and Export Corporation signed purchase. This was the first time that China sold to other countries A-100 long-range rockets. Sources said that Pakistan bought the first A-100 long-range rockets to equip a battalion for the first functional testing. Later, Pakistan seemed likely to continue to increase the purchase of the weapon.

South Asian military analysts believe that Pakistan move may be in response to India purchased from Russia 9K58 Smerch rocket systems. Russia 9K58 Smerch and the China A-100 long-range rockets are 300mm multiple rocket launch system. In 2001, India and Russia signed a $ 450 million worth of 9K58 Smerch rocket system purchase contract. In 2008, the first arrival of 9K58 Smerch rocket system participated in the National Day military parade in India. From the Chinese military industry sources said 9K58 Smerch launch rocket systems, the maximum range is 90 km, while China's A-100 launch farthest distance of 120 kilometers. Improved during the recent launching devices, A-100 attack accuracy is greatly improved.
Nothing about license production SMERCH in the link above but local production of A100 is possibility.

Its too grainy to conclude anything. Im going by their claim.
